One of her ideas was to use the sunlight to help finicky plants grow better when they were lacking sunlight. "Solis Focalis!" she said boldly, pointing at a wilting plant she vaguely remembered from Herbology that needed vast amounts of sunlight. It started to perk up a bit. Ha. So it did work!

She smiled a bit and continued to point and light up random plants. If only she had a friend to do this with, it might be even more fun.
Adrienne sidled into the Greenhouse as soon as she spotted Tora. Thank Merlin these things had glass walls, otherwise she would have had to check each one to see if it's the one her friend had chosen to do their Astronomy homework in. Astronomy homework, in a greenhouse- it was a bit odd, wasn't it?

"Out of all the choices, you decide to visit the greenhouse with the carnivorous plants? What was wrong with the flowery one?" Adrienne asked teasingly, though there was a note of seriousness in her voice. She wasn't a huge fan of Herbology, though she didn't have any particular problems with it, and some of the more violent plants were actually kind of scary. It was almost the same problem Adrienne had with Care of Magical Creatures, although that was a class she was actually excited to take this year.

She figured she'd better help Tora, so she headed towards a plant that was labelled "Bloodroot." She wasn't sure how she felt about the name, but the pretty little white flowers looked fairly harmless, so she hoped it wouldn't attack and strangle her or something. "Solis focalis," she said, trying to focus the magnifying glass bit of her wand on the plant.
