Seren found herself nodding along to the boys ideas, but froze upon mention of incendio as an option to subdue the topiary ... was the boy crazy? The kicking thing too... Seren's eyes were wide with mild shock and disapproval - at least until he mentioned Sander. "Well I would think so, here at Hogwarts we don't teach people to harm flora, we teach them to nurture it." See the difference? Kicking and burning didn't little to offer plants care and longevity -- for the most part at least.

Bouncing blueberries.

The yelling. Seren watched the scene before her, it was the last thing she expected to have to deal with today. No, she had other things in mind, fertilising, feeding, watering, turning the compost, checking the supplies cupboard... but not this. "It did, lucky for you... because I don't much feel like watching flora abuse, nor do I feel like spending this lovely day indoors supervising detention." Because had he kicked or burned the topiary, that's exactly where he would find himself.

"Aaahh, a Strand, Sander's brother? cousin?" she asked, curious. "Professor Bentley at your service, though I'm usually here to rescue the plants, not the students," she chuckled.
