The mess that wasn't an eagle right now, which is what it was supposed to be.

"How big do you think this is right now, Milo?" Because he was just going to try map out where would need to be cut and everything. For reference, obviously.

Otherwise someone could hack into a cm of the eagles wings and it could all be over.

All of it.

Hogwarts had some too then? He hadn't had a chance to see them on the Grounds because he had always gone down to sit by the lake but here soon it would be too late.

BUT, yes Topiary. The first year ran over to the one that Headmaster Botros had said belonged to Ravenclaw and looked around.

.........um.

He was the first one there. What should he do. Milo didn't know any charms to cut or trim branches yet. So instead he looked up and tried to imagine a giant eagle.

"Let's take out this...branch here." He said reaching up and beginning to prune away a bunch of stray branches that were sticking out in wild directions. Hopefully someone older, a professor, or someone with a proclivity for Herbology would show up soon! He'd been late and still had time to shovel pancakes into his mouth.
SPOILER!!: Milo and Roony




Paul wandered over to where the topiary race was being held. Mhmm. He was full and happy and relaxed and thought this activity might be difficult for younger students--since they had to use magic--and thus, he decided that instead of just watching, he'd join the Ravenclaw team...you know, since he was one.

"I am here to help Ravenclaw!" Professor Myers shouted, looking for the eagles' team--AHA!

Two younger students! Paul found them both and smiled as he put a hand on both of their shoulders. "Okay. We need to trim this up to look like an eagle--do you both know the cutting spell? It's diffindo..." he even did the wand movement for them, which looked like a V, sort of, with an extra tail. "If you can't get it--and that's completely okay--you can just do it by hand." He nodded. "But I have faith in us! And hopefully more Ravenclaws show up!" He was wondering where they had all wandered off to...

"We should start..with..." Oh dear. Paul's trimming skills were top notch--but his...topiary trimming skills? HA. "With the....feet? And move upward?" His worst fear would be leading the team to....

DOOOOOM. [/QUOTE]


Just as Milo had begun to snap off a few small twigs someone had joined him. It was Rooney! "I'm not sure how tall it is right now." He said aloud, not really helpful but he didn't. It was definitely much taller than them. "We will definitely need taller people to come soon and help. Unless you can levitate me." Because the first year definitely didn't know how to do that well enough to safely get his housemate up there.

Before they had much time to begin dangerously levitating each other, an adult showed up, perhaps the best adult they could wish for! "Professor Myers, thanks for coming to help us! We'll definitely have the best looking topiary now!" They guy had been hired at Hogwarts because of his work and knowledge of plants. How could they loose? Well numbers were a problem right now but surely the Herbology Professor counted as more than one person helping.

Milo had NOT known the spell so that was a good way to start. "Diffindo, right. Got it." He'd have to practice once or twice surely but he could get it down soon enough.

The feet would be a good start but before he could even get his wand out, Miss Sophie had arrived and started suggesting something else. The feet wouldn't be too important. "Maybe we can work on the rest and then decide on the feet when we are almost finished? See what looks right with the rest of it?" She also had another spell to help with. He would have to remember these for classes.

Deciding he might as well start practicing the spell and maybe get a few unruly branches out of the way in the process, Milo pulled his wand out and marched back to the topiary and what would be the 'body' of the eagle. "Diffindo!" The branches moved, a leaf fell off but it was probably the wind. "Dif-fin-do!" This time Milo said it much more forceful and with as much intent as he could muster. A quick cutting sound was made and a small section of branches fell from the rest of the plant. "Oh man! Look what I did!!"
