Helping out in the greenhouses was a sure way to enhance her horticulture knowledge, no doubt.
So first on the list: mundane flowers and bouncing bulbs. Which admitedly, she wasn't sure there was a lot to be aware of with those first two except learning what the leaves look like and trimming back the weeds. And foremost of importance: gloves, which the fifth year donned after pulling them from her backpack.
Next up - pruning shears.
Despite not wanting to begin studying for O.W.L.s until - well, until it was time, Leah knew that was not going to happen because she wanted to do well. And doing well meant a lot of preparation.
She trotted down to the grounds for a much needed Herbology practice. After a short pause, the Hufflepuff decided to start at greenhouse one to review the basics first. Upon entering, she immediately saw her Ravenclaw friend who seemed to be thinking along the same line as her.
"Hi, Tia!" she smiled as she reached her and the not-so-mundane mundane flowers.
"How are you at Herbology?" Leah was not that bad at it, but when she was stuck at something, she was stuck.
Oh right, protective gloves. She pulled her pair out of her bag and put them on. Then she wiggled her fingers to make sure that they were comfy inside.
