So far, so good. Warm pot, warm soil, seed in the middle, more soil on top. now she had to water it. With boiling water. That was the next step.

Ellie pulled out her wand and grabbed a watering can. Now, not too much... "Aguamenti," she said and put a filled her watering can just a little bit. There. That looked good enough. Now she just had to boil it.

"Chaudensis," she said, twisting her wrist in a circular motion... Now what? It wasn't boiling yet. So maybe she just had to wait, because it took a while for the planting pot to get hot. So, Ellie waited, rocking a little on her heels for mild distraction until...

... it was ready! Ellie saw boiling bubbles coming to the surface. She bit her lip and picked up the watering can with her gloved hand. Slowly, she watered her seed, making sure not to drown it.

Once it looked good, Ellie set the watering can back down and crossed the last thing off her checklist.

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.
