“Wow, Sophie--yes--that is--that is VERY spot on--you---you and Miss Kittredge should get to know each other--” both Herbology people, apparently. Well, Paul thought he had other students were very clever in this subject, but today he was quite impressed with Sophie and Norah.
“Three points to Gryffindor for expounding just EXACTLY what compost does--very good!” He was…very happy.
He clapped his hands together.
“OKAY! So--the very first step we’ll do---you must all come get one of these wooden things--” Things was a totally professional word, all right?
“And also fill it with soil. There are buckets of soil on each of your tables….make sure you put a GOOD amount of soil in there, all right? Don’t fill it up to the top with soil--but make sure it isn’t just...covering the bottom, all right?” He would be making some compost, too, of course, heh.
“So...Get your crate and DO THE THING!” he said excitedly.
Sophie beamed at the Professor and a smile found its way upon her face. THREE points to Gryffindor because of HER. Yes! Maybe she would introduce herself to Norah, they both knew about plants!
Making her away over to the
wooden things, she grabbed one. She took her crate back towards her seat and laid it down at her station. Without even pulling on her gloves, she began to transfer soil into her crate. She stopped once it was approximately 1/3 full. Finally, she smoothed the soil down into an even layer. She watched everyone going through the same motions as she, and she smiled around the room. Notes were very important as well as the discussion, but she loved to be working.
