"The Norandola, being in its true form only under the Moon light," Seren indicated to the two bushes, "rely on a special type of abiotic pollination."

"The little bubbles you see on the male bush, will burst, and the little stars within it will be drawn to the crescents on the female bush. The energy of the full Moon is the driving force of the pollination process. Without it, the strength of the attraction is lacking." Pausing, and stepping out of the way, Seren moved to stand beside her beanbag, her back to the students.

"It's important to remember that while Norandolas change their appearance under any amount of Moon light, pollination can only occur under a full Moon."

There was no sound to signify it, but the little bubbles of stars on the male bush had begun to burst. Little glowing stars began to rise and drift in the air, each being pulled in the direct of the female bush.
"Once those little stars, or the pollen, has attached itself to the crescents, Norandola beans will be formed. This doesn't take very long, they literally form overnight."
There were hundreds of little stars rising from the bush now. The whole atmosphere was a mix of peace and electricity.
"Tomorrow we will continue with our lesson on Norandolas, but for the time being feel free to stay and observe the spectacle for a short while, otherwise you are free to return to your Common rooms."

OOC: Part One has officially ended, I'll be leaving the thread open for a while so you're welcome to continue RPing. Chatting is welcome, there are still more hot drinks and you can watch some magical bean making.

Harvey decided to stay and watch the beauty of this pollination.. obviously there were no muggle plants that were pollinated this way.. and he was curious and wanted to watch the whole process concentrating on every little detail of what was happening.. he watched the stars rising up over the bush and then as if by magic... well a magical force as if they were being pulled towards the female plants the little stars attached themselves to the crescents .. he was so fascinated by this whole process.

Alyssa had a vivid imagination. "Uhh... not quite." .... 0__o Seren stared at the student, attempting to discipher whether or not she was being perfectly serious.. or otherwise. Usually Seren didn't have any difficulty in understanding Kurumi's responses. But perhaps this would be an exception. She couldn't help but wonder what she was going on about... Sumerian?... Ishtar? "Uhh... certainly the crescents do attract the stars, so yes, in a sense it is abiotic pollination, only it uses the power of the full Moon to charge the atmosphere, which in turn, allows pollination to occur." "Intrude on a a private and intimate moment? Oh heavens no." "Yes.. you're on the right track." Seren offered Sophie a small smile before moving on to the next person. The Hufflepuff was obviously processing the information. "Yes sort of.. but there's a bit more to it than that." Seren offered Harvey a smile as well. The Claw was deep in thought. "Yes.. but it's not as easy as that." "I think you mean abiotic pollination... but I'm looking for more details." "Yes, you're right, they most certainly do require Moon light." Seren paused briefly. Watching a young Ravenclaw laughing to himself. Personally, she didn't find the topic all that... amusing, it was however grossly fascinating.
