Paul could think of a few things for this..mhmm….

“And as you slowly breathe out...let us push all of the bad ideas and thoughts out with us...let the negative energy flow into the air…” He always worried for the plants...what if they got HIT with the bad energy? It was why he opened the door after the meditation. GET THOSE BAD VIBES OUT OF HERE! “Let them drain out of you….you are left with you and your thoughts….” His voice was still soft. “Think of today...think of the fresh start you have for life...every day...you get a chance….to prove yourself...every day….think of your goals….how you wish to accomplish them….” Ahem. Paul was speaking softly, STILL, and had his eyes closed. “And think of all that you are blessed with…”

Paul could think of MANY things. One being his students. Blessing, they were, even if they were grumpy sometimes. Or sad. Or mad. Paul didn’t care or mind. People were people...and people had feelings.

“And with that--we will begin our lesson--” his voice was normal once more and he let go of his neighbor’s hands, returning to the front of the room. “Everyone find a spot! We’re going to be talking about something I find VERY important for anyone interested in seriously taking care of plants--muggle OR magical.”

He grabbed his wand.

“But first--tell me--what is important for plants? Nutrition wise? What do they need?” He waved his wand and a title appeared on the board.
