So, fertilizer was IN...and Dylan had some left over that he could use for the new seeds he was about to plant...He'd procured fire lily seeds from a while ago, all boss-like...and had been meaning to add these little babies into his mini-biome. Unfortunately, he'd already stuffed too many flowers into the jar and had to leave some out...which was okay. They'd been saved for another day. THIS DAY.

It was ALSO amusing to him that the Herbology homework was helping him with Task Force. It was like a puzzle...and the Slytherin liked those. Everything was coming together...

We see what you did there, Professor.

Deciding just to keep using his fingers, Dylan began scooping out holes for the new flowers to go...He could put several to one hole, right? Would that give them a bunched effect...or would the roots be too clustered. Thinking on this a minute, he figured he was probably safe doing this...for two reasons. One...roots would naturally be intertwined underground...Especially with the plants being so close together...Two, they were just flowers. Fire lily roots wouldn't try and strangle each other...since they were a mundane plant. Right...? And if not...Well, they were gorgeous!

OKAY...with the holes ready. he took the remaining fertilizer and distributed it among them, making sure each got a fair share in the plant-nutrients. Then he stuck his hands down in them, mixing the fertilizer manually into the soil...The seeds needed to be welcomed with FOOD ready. After a few moments of this, he started adding in the seeds.

He had several...all fire liles. They were scattered into the holes, the Slytherin not stopping to wonder about how many or how much each hole got. This took several minutes...but once he was finished, Dylan knew it was time to cover them up.

Gathering up some excess soil that had also been treated, he buried the tiny seeds, patting the dirt where they lay lightly. "Aguamenti!" POINT. Pressing down on the tip again, he sprinkled water onto the spot where the new flowers would grow...

He hoped they did, too. Fire lilies were his favorite...How beautiful would that be? Maybe he could even photograph them next term...He'd need to ask Professor Flamsteed, of course...
