Right, gloves, goggles, cans, pots, soil... SEEDS!
Feeling around in her robes pocket, she plucked out an old silver tin and screwed the top off. Inside where the fire seeds, all hot and red hissed a little as it met more oxygen. "Alright everyone, I trust you all have your notes ready.." and that they were paying attention. "First things first, you must perform the charm on your pot... now you will know if it has worked because you will feel the sides begin to warm, it wont be hot, just warm to the touch. Then come up and get your materials and follow the instructions on the board."
Simple, yes?
Tapping her wand on the blackboard once more, another line appeared beneath he instructions. "So everyone come and claim a pot and goggles and get started. ONLY come for your seed when you need it." "Also should you wish to mark your pot for whatever reason, feel free to do so." ... because she expected at least SOME of them to visit their seedling as it grew. Okay, now the hard part of this lesson was coming up. Lewis could feel it already. They were done with the spell and now they were going to have to deal with those seeds. And plants. And he didn't have anybody to do it for him help him. No, he was going to have to do this all by himself. Le Siiiiiigh!
Quickly walking to the front to get a pair of goggles, he immediately put them on. You never knew after all. Okay, everything looked a little weird, distorted through those goggles but you know, safety first and all! On his way back to his pot, he accidentally bumped into a couple of pots and students, nearly smashing five if he hadn't caught them in time until he was finally safely back in front of his own pot.
Okay, here goes. Lewis first put his gloves back on and then reached for his wand again. Good thing they had practiced the spell first because it was going to be a hell of a lot more difficult to perform it with his gloves on. And his aiming seemed to be a little off too, what with the goggles and all. But no, he couldn't fail at this step already. That was the easy part. The spell part. He was good at the spell part.
So, taking a deep breath, Lewis grabbed his wand tightly in his right hand and - closing one eye as if he was trying to shoot an arrow with his bow - aimed it at the pot in front of him. Making a circular movement with his wrist he said loud and clearly, "ChauDENsis!" Had it worked? He put his wand aside for a moment and grabbed the pot with both hands but somehow he couldn't feel anything through his gloves. Was it safe to take them off? How else was he supposed to know if the spell had worked?
Making sure there was no immediate danger coming from anything close to him, Lewis quickly took off one of his gloves and touched the outside of the pot. Yup! Felt warmer than before. Awesome. While he was glove-less, he also crossed the first step off his list. Now, onto the difficult part. SPOILER!!: To Do List Quote: 1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. 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.
For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.
