SPOILER!!: assignment
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.


Now that she was fairly certain the ivy would protect her fire seed bushling from the light, Stella moved away from the corner long enough to retrieve a watering can from the cupboard. Returning to her pot, she knelt down long enough to set the watering can on the ground, then withdrew her wand from its holster. "Aguamenti." she cast softly, pointing the wand inside the watering can long enough to get a small amount of water inside. She didn't want to conjure too much, when the fire seed bushling didn't need that much water in the first place. Besides, if she didn't have a lot of water to begin with, it should take less time to boil and she'd be less apt to accidentally overwater.

Shifting her hold on her wand to cast the next spell, she rotated her wrist as she spoke, louder than before. "Chaudensis." Now to wait. Kneeling back down again, she went over to her plant and checked the soil. It definitely didn't need a lot of water, and, turning back to the watering can, she smiled as she heard noises that almost sounded like a tea kettle. Water must be boiling, she thought, reaching a hand out just shy of touching the can. There was definitely heat emanating from it, so she moved to pick up the can and turned back to the pot. Sprinkling the soil lightly, she kept an eye on the seedling long enough to make sure it didn't look like it was drowning. Just because the soil had barely darkened didn't mean there might not be too much water, but thankfully, everything looked fine. One more step down, three to go, but first she returned her watering can to the storage cupboard.
