They are not particularly high maintenance, but there are a few crucial things to remember. The first, is temperature. You do NOT want to extinguish your seed using the Glacius Charm or by drowning it in cold water. Secondly, fire seeds do not require much, if any nourishment... so fertilising is not required." Seren paused to let this information sink in and plant themselves in the students minds. She had a feeling some of them would be pleased to know there wouldn't be any dung involved this lesson.

"Now take a moment to read and note down these instructions, you'll need them soon enough," she said stepping to the side to let the light from the torches shine onto the blackboard.

After waiting a short while for students to write down these notes, Seren stepped forward to continue the lesson.

"Now before I get you to start the process, you first need to know how to perform the Chaudensis Charm. This will charm the pot to heat itself."

"Please DO NOT take out your wands just yet, I want you to practice the incantantion without the risk of blowing something up first..." she said eyeballing them all.

"Repeat after me... Chaudensis... Chaw-den-sis..."
Seren observed and listened as the students practiced the incantation.

OOC: Practice the INCANTATION ONLY. Lesson will resume in approximately 12 hours.

Cass flipped her parchment over as the first side was already filled with her messy scrawl and not for the first time, she wished that she was using her quill instead of this muggle pen, but it was the more practical choice at the moment - she didn't want her feather burning up with all the fire seeds in here. She made wrote down the other reminders Professor Bentley had before starting to copy the instructions on the board

SPOILER!!: instructions

The she-snake brought her protective gear out of the bag and was about to snap her gloves on when the Professor mentioned an incantation. Something that needed to be practiced. Odd, aside from the trimming charm that she once learned, she couldn't recall another instance where she had learned a new spell during Herbology. This was certainly a refreshing change. She quickly wrote the spell down on her parchment before joining the class in chorus as they all practiced saying it.

"Chaw - den - sis." The blonde repeated "Chaw -den- sis...Chaudensis." Perfect. Or as perfect as she was going to get rather.

Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up. 3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil. 4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it). 5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.
