Lucy continued to surprise her, she was such a bright girl... so bright.
"They most certainly do," or at least, most varieties.
"That's not a bad idea, but the risk we run with a portable swamp at this stage is the swamp waters freezing and doing more harm than good. We'll see how they go in the temporary location, but alternative arrangements might have to be made."
But it pleased her to see the girl had taken a keen interest in the subject, and was already so apt.

"I'm a 6th year and willing, Professor. I'll help you in Greenhouse Eight," Cris brushed the soil of his hands and quickly followed the Professor.
"Fantastic! We could certainly do with your muscles..." because he had them, clearly...

Yep, very useful. Seren beamed at the Hufflepuff, she was in a far better mood now. Now that there had been some progress, and her babies weren't in as much danger as when she stumbled upon the mess.

Jasmine tried to finish up with the last two plants that she had been working on by adding the last bits of potting soil to each one. She added those plants to the other group of completed plants and called out, "These are all ready to go". Brushing herself off, Jasmine removed her gloves and gathered her things. Not sure that she was ready to tackle Greenhouse Eight, she decided to head to Greenhouse Three. After giving it some thought, Jasmine changed her mind. The older students were needed to help with the more dangerous plants. She knew what she should do and before she could change her mind again, Jasmine said, "I'll help you in Number Eight Professor".
"You willll?" Seren trilled, clapping her gloved hands together in joy.
"Excellent, and I assure you... you're safe. I imagine it's too cold for them to be bothered doing much of anything..." and they would soon be sedated too. Yep.
That was it? Two volunteers? ... Nahhh... more would tag along, she was sure. They were flesh eaters after all.
"Alrighty, come along then," she mused, leading the way to greenhouse eight. Though it was usually locked and well secured, the cracked and smashed panes of glass did little to keep anyone out, or anything in... her only saving grace was that the freezing conditions would mean that the bigger trees would be rooted where they were.
Still, nevertheless, she unlocked the door and stepped in ahead of the students, fumbling around quickly in the greenhouses special stores cupboard for a couple of spray bottles. The solution in them was frozen, surprise surprise, but that was easily remedied.
"Unfreeze these, and spray the shrubs and trees down... they should be well subdued as they are, but for the sake of safety first, we'll sedate them some more." She offered bottled to those present..
"The smaller varieties should be moved off immediately, they're fine without the solution... and I'll take care of the trees." They were quite big, better to be safe than sorry.. and there was plenty for them to do as it was.
"There's a caged off area in the room, you may have noticed," or not, had they spent most of their time repotting than transporting...
"it's open for now, so place them in there... I'll secure it once we're done."
