Taking tentative steps back towards the pot, and the bucket with the soil, Amelia picked up the little spade thing again, and began to carefully shovel the soil into the pot. She worked diligently, but instead of finding the task relaxing as she had with the first half of the pot she found this quite stressful due to the seed lurking beneath the soil.
Once the pot was filled as much as it needed to be Amelia gave the soil a pat down, being careful to not pat it down too much and therefore damage the seed. Because as much as she hated anything that could create fire she didn't want to get a bad grade for killing the seed.
That done she placed away the tools she'd no longer need, and removed one of her gloves, placing it next to her instructions.
Ok. Now for the final step. The all important step in fact. She needed to water the plant with boiling water. But first she needed a watering can. And to take the soil and bucket back to where she'd gotten them. Seeing as they were near the watering cans anyway.
Amelia teetered back over to the soil mounds and poured the rest of the soil back onto them for others to use before placing the bucket, and little shovel thing, back where they belonged. She then grabbed a pretty looking watering can and made her way back over to her plant, that was not yet a plant.
Right.
So she needed to slightly water the plant, and use Aguamenti to have the water in the can before heating it. Seemed simple enough.
Once again unholstering her wand Amelia pointed it into the can and said, "Aguamenti," allowing the water to half fill the watering can before she ended the spell. And now to heat it. "Chaudensis," she cast, this time more confident than she had been when heating the pot. She made sure though that her wrist was pointed down correctly, and that the circular movement was smooth, and full. She was gratified to see the water begin to bubble a few seconds after she'd said the spell.
Amelia then cheerfully tipped the watering can gently and allowed the boiling water to fall into the soil until she'd watered the fire seed enough. She didn't want to drown it. She then, quite gladly moved her pot to where the professor directed before fully cleaning up the space she'd been using. It wouldn't be nice to leave a mess after all.
"Thanks Professor, it was a great lesson," Amelia called as she rushed from the greenhouse upon finishing her tidy up. She couldn't wait to be out of the room again and in the fresh air. The enclosed space plus the fireseed bush were making her light headed. In fact if she had of been forced to stay in the greenhouse much longer the class would have been witness to a fainting girl. Which would not have been fun.
