SPOILER!!: Ethan

Noticing Ethan raise up his finger, Cris listened to his question. "Good question, Ethan. Actually the proper way is to first add the fertilizer. then water the plant and then gently tap the soil to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped in the soil, " Cris replied in answer to Ethan's question, recalling what he had learned from his previous Herbology professor back in Durmstrang.

"If you first water and then fertilize, the fertilizer may not properly mix in with the compost. I mean you could use your fingers to mix it up, but you might end up messing with the plant's roots or if you're planting seeds, the water will cause the seeds to float up."

Cris hoped he made sense but more importantly, that he had been correct in his explanation of the process.

He looked over his shoulder to look for Professor Bentley, but she seemed busy monitoring the others...so instead he turned to the older students. "Err...question guys." he said as he stuck his finger up in the air. "Will it matter if we water the plant first before we put the dung? Does the effect of the dragon dung decrease if we add water after putting it?" Hmm. Let's see what these two know... Noticing Ethan raise up his finger, Cris listened to his question.
