As Alyssa walked into Greenhouse 2, she checked her journal to review the Homework task that Professor Bentley had assigned them.

Text Cut: Herbology Homework Task


Even though Fire Seed Bushes take an immensely long time to grow, even up to 250 years, they do not take very long to sprout. Just two days after the first Herbology lesson, you will find that your Fire Seed Bush has sprouted and is hopefully rather healthy.

Remembering that they like dark and damp conditions, your task is to go and pay your Fire Seed Bushling a visit. In doing so, you must perform the following tasks:

1. Ensure that it is in a dark enough area of Greenhouse 2. If not, then kindly ask the Ivy to block a bit more of the light out. Don't forget to thank it and give it a pat or a hug.

2. Give your Fire Seed a LIGHT sprinkling of water. Remember it has to be boiling hot water.

3. Sing a song to your Fire Seed and dance in circles around it. All plants need some entertainment for development.

4. In the stored cupboard by the entrance of the greenhouse you will find a small bag of blood and bone mix. Take a pinch of it and sprinkle it around the Bushling's base. Try not to burn yourself.

5. Read the Fire Seed Bushling a bedtime story of your choice and wish it sweet dreams.



Alyssa walked directly to where she had placed the pot of the Fire Seed that she had planted two days ago. Before picking up the pot, she put on her dragonhide gloves and wore her goggles on her head to protect her eyes. Picking up the pot, Alyssa checked the label to make sure that the pot was hers. The writing on the label said "ALYSSA". Yes this was the pot in which she had planted her very own Fire Seed. She looked carefully into the pot and could see a little sprout growing out of the soil. It grew upright and looked healthy. As Alyssa checked out the little sprout, a ray of sunlight shone on one of it's leaves. Alyssa quickly glanced over to see that the sun was starting to peak through the leaves of the ivy and was starting to brighten up the greenhouse. During other times of the year, Alyssa would be glad for the sun to shine through, but in order for the Fire Seed sprouts to grow healthy and strong and become Fire Seed Bushlings, they needed as much darkness as possible.

Remembering the first task Professor Bentley had assigned them, Alyssa quickly placed her pot in the darkest spot of nearest her and walked over to the Ivy that was growing near the windows. She gently whispered to it. "Please Miss Wasima. I need your help. Could you help move your vines, to help keep the sunlight out?". As she saw the Wasima move its vines to help block out the sunlight, Alyssa gently gathered some of its vines and gave it a soft hug. "Thank you, Wasima for your help. You are a beautiful and gentle Ivy,"Alyssa thanked the Ivy before returning to her pot.
