My name’s Ethan.” Waaaves for you because he just held a dead rat a few minutes ago with his gloved hand. “Okay.” The Slytherin tucked both of his hands behind him and eyed Vinnie. “Hey, Vinnie! Come and join us over here. You can help water the plants.” She can…cast Aguamenti, yes? Yes.

Jasmine came back with an older boy. Oh heeeeeey. Yeah, he saw him before during the opening feast. You know, when he thought that the Hufflepuff bunch was his house mates? Confusing, that night was. Anyway. “Hi Cris! Yeah, sure no problem. We will be able to finish the task faster that way.” With older students and such behind him…this task will be easy peasy.

Weigela bush it is! Ethan bopped his head as he made his way towards the bush and pointed his wand at it dramatically. "Immobulus!" The Slytherin did a small dance as he waited for his team to sprinkle it with dung and water it. "All safe, you guys." Ethan smiled as he moved away from the spot and eyed the Lilies.

Hmm. Interesting plant right there. Could they water that one next? Please? He's the youngest in the bunch you know...


Oh wait, the Weigela bush had already been frozen, but not wanting to dampen the young Slytherin's enthusiasm, Cris remained silent and let the boy freeze the poor bush again. Turning to Jasmine, he winked at her. "All yours again," he mouthed the words to Jasmine, before quickly turning away to hide a smile.



Giving Jasmine a thumbs up sign, Cris walked over the newly fertilized Weigela bushed and pointed his wand at the base of the plant. "Aguamenti," he said the incantation and watched as water slowly trickled out of his wand and immersed into the soil. He continued to test the soil with the fingers of his free hand, to make sure that he wasn't overwatering the plant, and when the soil was sufficiently dampened, he ended the spell.

Then he gently tapped down on the soil to remove all the air bubbles before standing up. "Okay Ms. Weigela, you're free to roam about the pot now," Cris whispered to the plant, giving it a little pat on its leaves.

Giving Jasmine a nod, he walked over to join Ethan. "I'll water this half and you can water this half. That way we'll finish this up twice as fast. We can start right after Jasmine has added the dragon dung fertilizer," Cris smiled encouragingly before giving Jasmine the go ahead nod to proceed fertilizing the Chockeberry bush.[/QUOTE]

"Yes ma'am!" Ethan positioned himself a few feet away from the Chokeberry bush and watched as Jasmine immobilized the plant. The Slytherin raised his wand to water it, but then stopped half-way as Cris started talking.

Half-half. Okay.

But they have to wait for Jasmine first to put the dragon dung before they could water it. Hmm. Was there a step-by-step instruction as to how to fertilize and water a plant? 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...[/QUOTE]

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.


Jasmine was so focused on immobilizing the chokeberry bush that she forgot to fertilize it before asking the guys to water it. The thought never crossed her mind until Ethan asked his question. "Sorry guys, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking." Gathering up more dung, Jasmine spread it carefully around the bush. Once she was finished, she apologized again. "Sorry about that. It's all ready for you now."

The Professor came by to answer Ethan's question about the proper order for doing things. Then she announced that they would be moving on to the next part of the lesson. Gathering her things, Jasmine followed the group toward the back of the greenhouse. They would be learning about the Flesh-Eating Fir? Jasmine didn't know what kind of flesh the tree preferred, but it must be unusual based on the way that the question was posed. She would have to think about that one.
