So the next step was practising the incantation right? Only problem was, he couldn't remember it anymore. And he hadn't taken notes but he had different ways of finding things out. He leaned closer to his neighbour who luckily happened to be a Ravenclaw (Lily) because Ravenclaws were the nerds right? She was bound to have written at least some notes, and sure enough he found what he was looking for.

With a grin, he returned to his seat and decided to practise waving the wand movement first. He pointed it at the pot where the seed was and then made an upwards flick. He tried again to get the feel of it and when he was sure he wouldn't make any mistakes, he placed the wand on the table. But upon doing so, a sudden bright pink colored spark hit the pot and a second later... the pot had...pink circles on it. "Ewww!" he said in disgust. It looked like a girly flowery pot now...

Not knowing how to vanish the pink circles, he let them be. As he was also too stubborn to ask for help and practised muttering the incantation instead. "Herbi...Herbi...what?" The boy blinked a few times and listened to the others. "Herbivicus?...herbivicus!" he thought he got it.
