Trying not to let her disappointment show, the Gryffindor turned around to figure out the first riddle. So even if she was terrible at them, she still managed to riddle it out. Water. The Gryffindor waved her wand and said "Aguamenti!" it failed, no water came out. "Aguamenti...Aguamenti!" WHY WERE THERE BUBBLES FLYING OUT OF HER WAND?!
Tiny little bubbles flew up in the air and vanished from sight. Popped was more likely. Scratching the back of her neck, Rebecca figured that the other students had watered the soil enough so instead she turned to the Professor. Pretending nothing weird had just happened. The second riddle was more difficult but the more she thought, nothing popped up in her mind. WHAT did they have to sprinkle on dirt?
Not knowing the answer, Bec pretended to be interested in something else.
As she was watering the roses herself with the use of her wand Hady caught sight as a smaller girl whom didn't appear able to cast the charm. With a quite 'Finite' she slipped her wand back into it's holster as she made her way towards
Rebecca.
"Hey, why don't you try that again with a bit more intent and focus this time. Like you mean it, tell your wand what you want it to do," she whispered softly giving the kid a small smile. Nothing wrong with a little assistance here and there.
Before she could do anything else though the Professor was giving another riddle. What was he going on about? Staying tiny forever? The brunette shook her head blinking at him. Sorry Professor but that wouldn't be happening, not that she was really worried about that.
Fertilizer was good for plants though. It helped keep them strong and grow. However she didn't feel this was what the answer was. It was to easy. Think Hadleigh. Think.
All that studying for OWLs last term had to be more good then just the grade she had gotten. What else was sprinkled over soil to help boost plant life. She knew the answer she was sure of it.
Chewing her lip the snakette went over everything she could as quickly as she could before turning to
Professor Myers.
"Professor Epsom Salt helps boost the growth of plants...is that what the roses need?" She was sure of this having remembered reading it for her OWL studying...it had sounded strange at the time but maybe that was why she remembered it now.
