Jory watched as the firsties got to work. They were all so cool, taking such interest in the work. "Yup, I'm Jory,'' he replied to Kace. He grinned ''Don't worry about it. You'll remember everyone's names.'' Even Jory had had that problem when he first came to Hogwarts. "Really interesting,'' he added with a nod. "It's one of my favorite subjects. So, how do you like it at Hogwarts?'' He remembered Kace's sister, Belle. She was also hardworking.

As the Puffer conversed with Kace, he also continued working on the task at hand. Gently he grasped the Puffapod plant and shook out the roots. He set it down in the center of the pot, into the hole he had dug. Now, using the soil he had dug away, Jory filled back the hole so that the soil held the plant's roots. He patted it down for more firmness.
