"I'm a Slytherin, by the way. I'm Ariadne Greingoth." She'd ask the girl for her name and house, but she just assumed she would tell her on her own now.
"Yeah, sure," Ariadne said, grabbing a spade and starting on the hole. She made two--one for her own plant and one for Elsa's plant. She was pretty sure the land needed both of them. She glanced up at Elsa and added, "Probably because this class is a combination of classes, and Muggle Studies is one of them." She looked around the land. "I'm pretty sure finding the location and all was part of Muggle Studies, too, though."
When the compost was gathered and at their sides, Ariadne turned toward it with a gloved hand. She scooped up some of the compost and began mixing it into the soil in the hole. This kind of stuff didn't really bother her. Neither one of her parents were worried about getting messy with magic, so she wasn't either. Even her dad, the former Minister of Magic, didn't mind getting dirty out on the Quidditch pitch.

"YOU HAVE ONE HOUR LEFT!"
OOC: you have approximately 48 hours from the time of this post to complete the activities. Thank you all for coming and participating and for your questions. Please do not hesitate to direct any more you may have in our general directions <3
So, that was embarrassing
"O-Of course course professor, how silly of me" the stuttered, quickly taking the compost back to Ariadne. Shame! It was pretty obvious that one, Elsa wished she had learned to think before speaking.
Hey... she thought to herself,
we could learn the theory about muggle and still do the hard work with a wand no?. No silly.
Seeing has she had already dug the holes, Elsa busied herself adding compost and mixing it.
"Oh, nice to meet you Ariadne, we're in the same house!" she chirped after a few moments of silent work. Greingoth. That sounded familiar, yet Elsa couldn't remember where she had heard it before
"Have we met before? I think I've heard your name somewhere?" But that was highly unlikely, after all Elsa came from Portugal only this year, and all the vacations she had spent in the country before were short and mostly at her grandparents house.
After making sure the ground was nicely mixed with compost, Elsa picked up each cabbage, carefully and made sure they were wet before tearing the bottom of the biodegradable pot and passing them along to Ariadne to place them in the hole.
She then started placing the dirt back around the plants. They had been at this for a couple of hours now and Elsa's face was red from the sun, her hands even though they wore protective gloves, were a mess from before, when she
didn't use the protective gloves. Her hair was all over the place but she felt happy. They had done something good to this place. Looking around, it looked a little more alive!
