... And of course, Olivia was SO happy and excited to be doing this with Char. They'd not gotten a chance to do much together lately, given how busy school seemed to be this term. There was simply a lot to do and so much to be apart of... IN A GOOD WAY, of course!

Taking in her friend's performance, however, Liv wanted to clap her on the back and shout BRAVA! in a very obnoxious OLIVIA!way, but this was impossible as they were in the middle of class. AFTERWARDS! After the lesson, they would flail and talk about it.

Mmhmmm.

“But today we are not going to focus on just ANY sort of pumpkins. We’re going to focus on GIANT PUMPKINS.” Paul jetted, suddenly disappearing to the side of Greenhouse Three and, for dramatic effect, pushed it out from the side of the greenhouse to the front of the blackboard, where the class could see it. It was enormous. Taller than Paul, to be sure, and very VERY orange. “We’ll talk about them BRIEFLY before moving on to the fun part of the lesson!” He grinned. “Now, when it comes to giant pumpkins, there’s two main ways to get giant pumpkins.” He paused, so everyone could start PAYING ATTENTION. “One...is to engorge them with the spell. Engorgio…” he smiled. “The second way...is to breed them that way.”

Also, he should add, "In addition to all that, if anyone has ANY ideas what we can do with all this PUMPKIN when we're finished let me know, because we're only going to accumulate more by the end of the lesson."

To be honest, Olivia had no idea about differences in pumpkins and how to tell one from the other, but she DID know that this particular pumpkin was big enough to make A TON of pumpkin pies. As well as whatever other type of pumpkin-based food one might be interested in... And that thought alone got her thinking about the less fortunate and people who were probably going hungry in other parts of the world...

Heh, she'd been forced to volunteer this summer at a food bank. So, the experience was still fresh in her mind. "Professor, is there some way we could donate all the extra to someone in need?" It might be a stretch to send this stuff internationally, but locally? Maybe Hogsmeade? Diagon Alley?

What about muggles? They had loads of poor people. "It just seems kinda irresponsible... and a waste for us to keep it all when we have so much." Oh, if her mum could hear her now...

Also...

Someone had just mentioned a carriage. A PUMPKIN carriage.

Why hadn't her mind IMMEDIATELY flown to Disney related things?!

Could she have one of the rinds afterwards? To play with?

continue on your search! nothing here!
