So Carsyn had pretty much no idea what the toads had to do with toadstools? Because it had toad in the name? That was a weird correlation and Carsyn spent the next couple questions thinking (and overthinking) about toads and toadstools, as a distraction to the fact that she had no idea about crossbreeding plants, but the one Gryffindor first year talking about mamma and papa plants loving each other did elicit a smile from the gryffindor prefect. Did the girl have older siblings? Did her parents talk to her before sending her off to boarding school? Carsyn was curious....

Her reverie and internal thoughts were broken by a boomerous clap and loud ”DARE. TO. DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!” Okay that was dangerous because 25% of the class was gryffindors who were notoriously reckless, so asking them to dream? Did he really want wild ideas about crossbreeding toadstools? Wait they were still talking about crossbreeding toadstools, right? Not toads? Because the latter could lead to some very interesting creature developments.

She was about to ask Islay to partner with her, but she was partnering up with Stella ... oh, she could always partner with her sister, considering she was definitely way better than herself at Herbology. But would it mess with Professor Rainwater seeing them working side-by-side? Then again, seeing them working beside each other would no doubt reveal the subtle differences all twins possessed.

Then she would cross breed them with basil, oregano, cilantro......things like that. If she could make the toadstools edible, then people could use them in their food without having to use the seasonings. The toadstools would already have the seasonings in them.

Naya was about to start overthinking her plan. This was always a problem for her. Who would actually want to eat a toadstool? How would she make sure that they wouldn’t poison anyone? Were you allowed to combine more than two things when you were cross breeding? If so, maybe there was something she could add to the toadstools and herbs that would neutralize any possible poison. At this point, she had more questions than answers. Naya wrote her thoughts down in her notes. She would have to think about this some more. A lot more.

SPOILER!!: Naya’s notes
Herb filled toadstools
1. Toadstools would have to look appetizing.
2. They would have to be safe to eat. Any and all poisons removed.
3. Herbs that go well with toadstools mushrooms would be cross bred.
4. Possible herbs: basil, oregano, cilantro, parsley etc.
Before she could ask her sister or Islay/Stella about joining their group, her eyes fell onto Naya and she had picked up her things to sit by her other dormmate. They have worked together before, and it seemed like Naya did alright with the subject.

"May I work with you, Naya?" She asked, peering at her parchment. If nothing else, she'd at least get inspiration from the girl.
