Post 1 cœur perfide | super prosecutor | Ameh's Squishy
Normally Amelia would have planted her fire seed and left it at that. However, this was homework and Amelia really wanted to earn points for Slytherin so she would just have to suck it up and come visit the plant that could in fact burn her. Probably not something she should be thinking about right before entering the greenhouse.
Another problem was finding which seedling was hers. Since she hadn't actually marked her pot the first time around, as she hadn't been intending to come see the seedling... Oopsies. She'd do that as soon as she found her one.
Amelia walked up and down the pots, looking for her own. It took her about ten minutes to locate the seedling that she knew was hers. There were distinct markings on the pot that had been there when she had gotten it, and a chip in the top that she'd accidentally made with her little shovel thingie. Nodding contently Amelia pulled out her wand and wrote her initials on the side of the pot. Now if she had to come visit again she'd know which one was hers.
Now what exactly was she meant to do? Oh, right. First she had to ensure that it was dark enough for her little seedling. It did seem rather gloomy but Amelia looked up just to be sure. And lo and behold there was sunlight shining directly onto her pot! This meant talking to some ivy. "Umm, excuse me ivy, would you mind ever so much making your way up to that spot of sunlight above my fire seed seedling?" Amelia asked tentatively, patting the ivy on the wall as she did so. Talking to plants was embarrassing. When other people were around anyway. But the ivy being nice like it was did as she asked and covered up the hole, tangling playfully with her fingers as it did so.
"Thank-you," Amelia chirped at the ivy, as she gently extricated her fingers, before giving it another pat.
Stepping away from the wall she looked back up, and then down at her seedling before nodding in approval. That was a good start.
