And the astronomer was not surprised at all that the Head Boy had remembered Seren's words. He ought to write her again just to check in and mention this little fact. The woman always had such kind words to say about her former students. Sometimes too kind, if the man was being honest.
"ALRIGHT GRYFFINDORS! YOU HEARD MR. ADAIR," the man boasted as he strut towards the bush they were to play around with. "Let's make this end here the head," he said, pointing towards the side to his right. "And this end the rear." Removing his wand from his enchanted breast pocket, the professor set to writing a H on the part meant to be the head and a T on the other. "Let's make this topiary scream Gryffindor from H to T, shall we?"
He paused to offer the Head Boy a quick wink before turning towards Miss Abraham and Mr. Bellaire. "You neglected to bring your wand with you?" he asked, eyebrow raised at the first year. Cardinal rule of wizarding, ALWAYS bring your wand! CONSTANT VILIGANCE! Sabel needed to drill that thought into students' heads more. "In that case..." he looked around quickly at the surrounding area. "If you don't mind getting your hands a bit dirty you can just snap some branches off and tear at leaves. You can start here with the tail." Since it was the most straight forward bit really. The astronomer or Head Boy could follow up with a bit of polishing.
Actually....perhaps it would be best for Mr. Adair to do that. He could just supervise and help keep the vision. He gave a nod towards the first year while looking at the seventh year. Hint hint nudge nudge.
"How about you, Miss Abraham, begin working on the mane?" Then an idea struck him. "How are you with conjuration spells?" Or color changing spells, but conjuring flowers for decoration had a bit more of an artistic edge to it and Gryffindors were an edgy bunch.
