With two of the girls already off distributing some of the flowers, Isabelle followed suit. If the kids didn't take too many each there should have been plenty for everyone to make something pretty with.
But it seemed some only wanted one flower.
"Nate, surely you want a couple more than that? Here, take some from my bucket," Issy smiled as she approached the desk of the young Hufflepuff. Flicking her wand out, she rested the weight of the bucket on the desk and pointed said wand into the boy's vase. Filling it half way with water, she smiled at him as she waited for him to choose some flowers.

Minerva had already made her way over to the Gryffindor, but as she had been called herself, Issy wandered over, too.
"I agree, that's a very nice vase. Mush less likely to leak as well." Quote:

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?"
Someone was finished already? Well now, that was quick. Maybe it was just her that could never quite get flowers right when she was putting them in vases. Kurumi certainly seemed to have done a fabulous job.
"Very nice, Miss Hollingberry. I like that you've used all the house colours." That was after all, part of what she wanted. Unity.
"If you're sure you've finished, please go and place it on display on my desk. Then you can continue practising with your thimbles until the end of the lesson, if you wish." Quote:

Or getting distracted again by the charmed animal figurine in her bag, although she did get gently swiped at when she'd tried to retrieve the thimble. No damage was done, so she went back to waiting for the lesson to continue.
She'd looked up as Professor Magnus had spoken about how some people weren't going to need as many flowers as others, feeling a bit like she was one of those being talked about. It was true, but she hoped that there wasn't a problem with her having a slim vase. "I need some flowers," she said, raising her hand slightly. Maybe just one or two, but she'd decide once someone had noticed her and she could really get a look at her options. Plus, she needed to get her gloves on just in case, so waiting a few minutes might be better.
Flowers needed!
Isabelle turned her head at hearing that piece of news. Seeing a Ravenclaw with her hand in the air, she gave Kurumi a smile before moving off with her bucket.
"Here we go, Miss Gardiner, take what you think you need." And that reminded her of something. Something she had to remind THEM of.
"Also guys, please remember to use your gloves," she knew Kurumi had mentioned it, but always best to emphasis it.
"Don't want any of you pricking yourselves badly. It's not pleasant."
