What Chloe continued to share with him made Joshua beam even wider if possible, almost straining his mouth and cheek muscles. "Fantastic to hear Chloe. You are most welcome to come down and give me an extra hand in the greenhouses whenever you are free for extra credit towards your herbologist dream. There are always plants and herbs that needs extra care and loving nurturing to grow and blossom." He didn’t say anything about quidditch because he knew that all kids loved the sport no matter how fascinating he thought plants were.
Joshua briefly looked down at the plants in his arms before he nodded at Chloe "Of course you can help, you probably know where the plants will do best in the claw common room. Maybe you’d even want one in your dorm?" Shaking his head he said "Now,now Chloe, don’t doubt that you don’t fit in the house you are in. The sorting hat saw the essence of what makes you you and that is a Ravenclaw. Trust in that."
"Oh no, no sir, it was challenging, but I just love Herbology so it was the very first one I did. It's the one that I feel the most confident in." Her confidence had taken a hit in the past year, but she was slowly building it with the rest of the classes. All the time studying was helping. Her eyes lit up as he said about history,
"I think it is really interesting, but not just the wars and stuff that it seems we talk about a lot in class, but just the people and who could be related to who. That is fascinating to me. I was just talking with my brother about how I wanted to figure out my mother's side more. We only know parts about her family." That was going to be some of her summers, try to figure out how to ask mom about the Blaze family. It would have to be done in a very nice way so she wouldn't be shut down quickly.
With him saying she could come down and help out around the greenhouse she couldn't help but beam,
"Really? That would be great. I have always helped my dad in his greenhouse, so I know my way around, plus being in the ones there the last two years. Do you know that there is a Jacob's ladder planted in the student garden?" Well of course he did, it was his garden,
"My mom and dad planted that when they were here." She didn't know why but she felt very proud to be able to say that.
She couldn't help but think for a moment when he said about where to place the plants,
"I think I do have a spot that would work well. It could help brighten the area." Putting a plant in her dorm, she loved that idea,
"I have a small plant in my room already, but one of these would go lovely in the girls' dorm. Maybe you could have one placed in the boys as well." She didn't really know what to say about the sorting, she knew others told her the same, but she just didn't feel that way.
