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.
What? Adrienne finally made it! Unlike her to be late, tut tut. "Well of course I went to the carnivorous greenhouse! You know I hate Herbology, but I figured that in this greenhouse I could knock out two of my Astronomy homework in actions. For example..." she trailed off as she concentrated and focused the light in a steady beam. Flies and other insects started toward the light. Slowly she lead the bugs toward the mouth of one of the nearby carnivorous plants. CHOMP. Now there was a plant that had a nice full stomach, and a happy Tora. "So not only can the light help grow the plants, but it can also attract a meal too!" She grinned triumphantly. See? this was why she chose this greenhouse.

Still, she kept an eye out for any of the more dangerous plants. After all, at meat, they were many of the plants' favorite food. Hopefully if they kept them fed with enough bugs the girls wouldn't be attacked. That being said, Tora hoped to get out of there as soon as possible. Just as soon as she finished her Astronomy Homework.
