Now with her flowers on the table, Kurumi began to place a red rose into the vase when she remembered something important about placing flowers in a vase for the first time. Pointing her wand at each stem, Kurumi cast a Severing Charm on them to snip the stems at an angle so that each had a greater surface area exposed so more water and nutrients could be sucked up. Once this was done, Kurumi returned her attention to the first red rose she had picked up and placed it towards the back of the vase, holding it in place with her left hand while she reached for another red one with her right.
When she had a back row of red flowers, Kurumi reached for the blue roses next and added a row of them as well. Green roses followed and framed the single yellow rose in front. Leaning back to look at her work, Kurumi rather wished that she hadn't transfigured a purple glass vase as that color contrasted greatly with the colors of the roses. Kurumi set her
arrangement on her desk and looked up at Professor Magnus before slowly raising her hand.
"
Professor...what should we do when we are done with our arrangement?"
