Cris noticed an older Ravenclaw smile over at their group, and he smiled back. He didn't know who she was but she seemed nice. He made a mental note to himself to ask Jasmine whether she knew the girl being in the same house and all.

Then he was back to Operation Re-potting. He returned to the supply shed and pulled out a bag of potting soil and a spade before returning to the plants. He poured some potting soil into each of the pots before proceeding to remove the plants from their flower beds. Leaning over a Flutterby bush, he began loosening the soil around the plant, until he could see its roots. Cris then gently lifted up the plant, one hand holding it by its trunk and the other gathering up the roots and slowly placed it in one of the larger pots. Once the plant was in the pot, Cris scooped more soil into the pot until all the roots were covered up and the plant was lying securely in the pot.

"This plant it ready to be brought up to the castle," Cris told anyone who was withing listening distance and who was one of the potted plant movers. Then he moved on to the next bush and repeated the repotting process again.
