The demonstration was very useful but it did leave Lucas feeling a little on edge. Taking out his wand, he glanced at it, a small frown forming on his face. It sounded simple, especially when the Professor put it like that, but what happened if he couldn't do the spells properly? Or if something went wrong? Or if he was overenthusiastic with the spell and cut off half of the plant?
It could happen!
The second part sounded a lot worse, given that they had to touch the plant and its tentacles - and even worse, extracting its JUICE?! - but...... he'll come to that. Later. He'll deal with it later. Right now, he was just going to concentrate on trying not to cut the plant in half with one of the two spells he'd mentioned.
So, Lucas turned his attention back to the plant he was working on. First things first: trimming. With his wand clutched tightly in his hand, the first year started nosing around and picking out any parts that needed to be trimmed off. It was a difficult process because guess what? This was a very active plant. How was he meant to get anything done if he kept having to duck??
What was the spell? Flipnsnipit? "Flipnsnipit..... flipnsnipit....." It took a few slow chants of the word before he finally aimed his wand at a particularly yellow part of the plant and, "Flipnsnipit!" And off went that leaf. A single leaf but it was off! Another "Flipnsnipit!" and off went...... uh, half a leaf. But that was okay because he could just easily take out the rest using the spell again.
It was slow process but he was getting there. Slowly.
