SPOILER!!:

Trimming and pruning, awesome! Tobias gave the probably-younger-kid a big friendly smile and turned back to the wiggenbush he was still knelt beside.

"So, I'm just gonna trim some of these dead bits away, 'kay?" the Hufflepuff practically murmured. But he wasn't talking to the other boy, oh no. He was addressing the shrubbery.

Tobias already knew which parts of the bush he needed to trim off, and instantly reached over for one of those parts. "Flipnsnipwitit," he cast as he aimed his wand carefully at the small connecting branch and moved his wand kinda like a karate chop. The dead piece of shrub came off in his hand, and Tobias looked to see how the other boy was doing.

At first, Toby nodded to himself and turned back to his own plant, but quickly turned back again. Was that a... blossom? Like, a totally healthy one? And Tobias instantly recognised THAT instrument as-

"Tail-Twig Clippers?"

Tobias' voice escaped him in a squeak and he shuffled a bit closer on his knees, eager to help some more. Though whether he saw himself as helping the boy or the bush, Toby didn't know.

"Um... there's a spell you can use to do that, if you wanna learn it? It's super neat, look," the boy pointed out, speaking a little faster than before. "See... if you find a dead part of the plant, like that leaf you have, you just kinda slash your wand where you wanna cut it off and say 'Flipnsnipwitit.'" As Tobias had spoken, he had indeed cast the spell on his own shrub, and turned back to the other boy with an encouraging smile. "It's... really good for the plants."

Good for them in the way that Tail-Twig Clippers were not.

The boy rummaged through his bag immediately seeking out a pair of shears, anything that would cut really. Tail-twig trimmers. Those would have to do since Cutty doubted there would be any in the storage space. They gleamed against the light, reflecting it upwards as Cutty flexed them open and shut twice to try out their ease. He hopped over to a nearby shrub and, unsure of what to cut made an ill-informed decision to snip a blossom off. Wouldn't Professor Bentley like a bouquet showing the fruits of their labour? He ceased about to make his second snip to reflect on Tobias's remark about the dragon dung. "That's dizgoostin!" He huffed which was followed by another snip, this time getting a dying leaf he thought looked cool. He had to be kidding, however. For the the things this kid handled in his lifetime thus far. He had to be kidding. Trimming and pruning, awesome! Tobias gave the probably-younger-kid a big friendly smile and turned back to the wiggenbush he was still knelt beside.
