Wait, what? This guy's asking them how to juice those things? Merlin, if they were in their right minds, why would they even be near these things?! Charlie's brows went way above his forehead and shook his head. Herbologists and their crazy undertakings. He'd never understand them, but that earned them a renewed respect from this kid. They'd die for plant species. Merlin. Charlie wanted to offer an answer, but thought that his guess was a bit brutal, but to his surprise, it was exactly what was needed for them to accomplish the task.

Okay, gross.

A few short notes were written on his parchment, totally ignoring what just happened across the classroom. Charlie sort of expected that something was bound to happen anyway. While the barrel of dead chizpurfles soared across the greenhouse, and heard the professor's words about getting close and personal with the plant, Charlie couldn't help himself but put his hands up in a surrender position mid-note-taking. "Not me," he said in a quick, but hushed tone towards the student closest to him, "But I'll do it for the points. And the grade." Because grades were important too.

Done with his notes, his writing implements were haphazardly tossed inside his bag and bounded towards the barrel that had chizpurfles in it. Charlie got himself a good amount because he thought that overfeeding the venomous thing was the way to go...much like giving them turkey coma during Thanksgiving, yeah? With that picture in mind, Charlie got down to work and fed the plant like there was no tomorrow. "Eat, little beast. Eat like it's the end of the world..." he said in a calm, soothing voice. As soon as the plant started to slow down...and looked like Charlie during a food coma, the Hufflepuff quickly checked his plant and fished out a fresh, but crumpled parchment out of his bag and started to write down his findings. Once that was done, he went on to trim, fertilize, and water his plants.

Quote:

Name: Charlie Kane (it's actually Carlos Joaquin Sebastianus Kane, but let's go for Charlie, prof.)
Year: Fifth Year (and dreading my OWLs)
House: Huffle to the Puff! ;-)

Observations:
1. My plant is a bit overgrown, like, with the leaves and all that. It shouldn't look like it because it's supposed to be young. Gave it a haircut, well more like a trim so it's cute as a button now. And I think he likes it. Can I call him Bob? Yeah, Bob likes his new look.
2. Soil is a bit dry...and it doesn't smell anything. I know it's supposed to smell like Earth but it doesn't? So...I gave it some fertilizer dung to make it smell extra...dung-y. Like how it's supposed to. Totally winning this, I can tell.
3. Aaand just like any living creature, I think it needed a bit of water. I mean...after all that carapace in its...belly(?) it needs something to counter all that nutritious goodness for it to spread out towards its vines. Give it more strength and muscles so it'll grow more.
