...Lux was going to take the difficulty with which she heard the instructions as a GOOD sign because it meant that her earmuffs were effective. If she couldn't hear Professor Truebridge shouting she wouldn't be able to hear the mandrakes. For the moment, however, she removed them from her ears and placed them around her neck. You know...so she would actually know what was required of her before starting.
Okay, re-potting it was!
Snapping the earmuffs back in place securely, Lux watched the demonstration. The Professor made it look pretty simple, but she figured it would definitely not go as smoothly for her.
Approaching the mandrakes, she chose one at random and FIRMLY grasped the top of its head so that she could remove it from the soil. Using a fair bit of strength she pullllllled the plant free. Ewwwww, it was HIDEOUS. O_o Seeing it up close made everything so much WORSE. Also didn't help that the plant was clearly throwing a tantrum. Thank goodness she couldn't hear anything because then she would be unconscious.
O_O
Quickly, Lux set about moving the mandrake to its new home. Hopefully it would be pleased with the living arrangements because they seemed to be very particular. With no small effort, she STUFFED it into the pot. Phew. This was a lot of work! Mandrakes did NOT make things easier when they kept trying to grip the sides of the pot and not settle in to their new home.
Dirt from the original pot was tossed over the plant; hopefully that would help calm it down. |
