 HTF Mission One, Post #4
Fertilizer? Where would someone find that? When Tessa realized she didn't actually know where she was going to find the fertilizer she just stopped walking all together and looked around the greenhouse. "Anyone know where some fertilizer is?" She asked to no one in particular. Maybe if she got lucky one of the healthy plants would point her in the right direction.
When she finally caught sight of the cupboard Tessa nearly ran across the greenhouse to get there. Who knew how long the plant that Tessa found would have if she didn't get the fertilizer in fast time? No one, so it was very important that Tessa do things quickly. At the cupboard she opened it up to find...
Hardly anything. "That's weird." Tessa mumbled to herself. Why would there not be things in the cupboard? Things were supposed to be stored there for safe keeping, why was it so bare? The young Gryffindor then remembered talk around the school about what happened the previous year. Surely they kept a little bit of fertilizer around!
Sure enough, Tessa found a small amount that she knew she could use. "It's not much." Tessa said to the plant softly as she began to put the fertilizer on, careful to not be too forceful. "But it's enough for now. I'll find you some more and visit again." Tessa said as she stroked the stem of the plant gently where there should have been more fertilizer. "Until then, my new friend. I'm happy we met. Maybe next time I'll bring my books with me and we can read together." Because people talk and read to plants...right?
Although she wished she could have stayed a bit longer, Tessa could feel her stomach starting to growl for food. It must have been close to lunch by then. The still ever excited first year hoped she still had time to stop by again before going off to classes after lunch.
