​There it was. Sarah saw a bucket of dung, yet on closer inspection it revealed that it was not hippogriff dung but dragon dung​. She went to the store cupboard to see if there was any there. There was, yet Sarah did not want to take without permission and instead decided to use the dragon dung.

She took some in her gloves and began to sprinkle it on top of the soil in circular motions. It smelt, yet Sarah was not perturbed. Business was business and life was life. She just pretended it did not smell as bad as it did, although she was feeling nauseous. With that done, it was time for Sarah to wrap up.

She took off her gloves, as it was hard for her to write with them and she grabbed a tag. On it she wrote as neatly as possible:
. Then she stuck that tag into the soil. So now she had sort of identified it as hers.

Clean up time. Sarah put her gloves and notebook back in her satchel. Then she used her wand to clean the surface. First she used Scourigfy and then she used the polishing spell. The latter was not needed yet she thought it would be nice for the Professor if she did.
