Bottom line was that they had the petals now and that Derf 100% believed that Charlotte had been testing to make sure the seeds were still hot. It was quite clever really. Derf could confirm that the bucket was still warm and her charm very much proficient! "G-good call," he nodded, still flustered from, er, all the awkward uselessness that was Derfael Ashburry-Hawthorne at the moment.

"Oh, I'm pretty good at using my hands for measuring things...but I'll grab more than we need juuuuuuuuust to be safe," he nodded. FINALLY! HE WAS USEFUL! Although this meant that HE had to be the one to stick his hands into a plant and...oh a small pond? OH IT WAS AQUATIC?! Why had he forgotten this little nugget of information?! Dad would be...actually no. Dad would not be surprised but rather happy Derf remembered anything about the plant at all.

Aquatic varieties were the Hufflepuff's kinda loop hole when it came to Herbology. But no one tell his Head of House that.

Setting the bucket down next to him and keeping his gloves on, mostly for time efficiency at this rate, Derf scooped up a whole clump of the stargrass from a nearby little pond and immediately shoved it in his trouser pocket and then scooped up another one...and a couple more for good measure. Which now meant his pocket and trousers were soaking wet and dripping pond water from the one area...but he could feel Scamander wiggling around in there excitedly about the addition to her little charmed environment within the black folds.

"We're good to go," he beamed, throwing the seventh year a big thumbs up as he bent over to pick the bucket up again too. "Let's hurry back to the classroom!"

Cause they were almost out of time and stuff now and yes.

GO GO GO!

Well Derf was in charge of the wet and the hot stuff now. It WAS aquatic, Char could see that now they were close enough to the little pond. That was interesting because she knew there were plenty of different kinds of stargrass and some were terrestrial but the aquatic one was much prettier. She nodded at his logic about grabbing enough and gave him a thumbs up too.

Leaves were in her pocket. Whole leaves, not pieces (and they should stay whole in her pocket, right?) and they had.... lots of damp stargrass, and a bucket of fireseeds -which was still hot, thanks to her totally on purpose test- and that was it, right?

What even was all this stuff FOR? Charlotte mused on it. She'd had Betony in stuff before when she hadn't been feeling well but she wasn't so sure about the others.

"Okay, lets go." She hustled her awesome partner out and then led the way back down to the dungeon level.
