Heath visibly tensed when he saw Professor Rainwater coming his way. He had no idea how the man was going to react, but he was prepared for anything… laughter, ridicule, another reprimand, this time not so backhanded. The one thing he wasn't prepared for was praise, which was exactly the reaction he got! Just when he thought he couldn't be any more confused by this professor… only this time, it wasn't a bad kind of confusion. Not wanting to say the wrong thing after finally doing something right, he simply nodded in gratitude, smiling ever so slightly.

Oh, so they were crossbreeding toadstools! Well, they would be eventually; right now they were just brainstorming. For a moment, the thought crossed Heath's mind to ask Claudine if she wanted to work together, but when he looked, she was already working on her own. That was fine too. He already had some ideas of his own, and working alone meant he wouldn't have to waste time fighting for his ideas! He took out a piece of parchment and jotted down what he already had.

He knew how he wanted it to look - black with red veins like Kylo Ren's mask - but what else could it do? That would be pretty to look at, but it wasn't very useful, at least not by itself. He absentmindedly tapped his quill against the desk, lost in thought. Ooh, he had an idea! What if it glowed like a lightsaber? Then it could be used as a light source. What color would it glow, though? Red or black? Hmm… what if only the red part glows? He imagined walking through a dark field or forest and randomly coming across a wild pattern of glowing red veins. Now that would be cool! He was definitely using that!

Heath looked at his list. Okay, that was good so far, but he still needed to think of some magical qualities. He couldn't come up with anything off the top of his head, so he looked to the movie that had inspired the rest of the toadstool for more ideas. For some reason, his thoughts turned to force healing. What if the toadstools did something like that? And for that matter… what if they had their own dyad… with each other? Like they always grew in pairs or something? Yeah, that was nice, but could there be a use for it too? Ooh! What if you had to pick both toadstools for maximum effect?

Heath was on a roll! Now all he had left to figure out was the smell and taste. He'd purposely left those for last because he had no idea! Again, his thoughts turned to the character that inspired the rest of his toadstool. Hmm… Kylo Ren was a rather fragmented figure, all anger and aggression outside, but he had a softer side too. So… maybe the toadstool could start out sour and turn sweet? But how would it smell?

Heath was still thinking about that when he overheard Claudine voice exactly what he thought of Rainwater. Now that was funny! It took everything he had to stop himself from laughing out loud. If there was one thing he'd learned in years of muggle school, it was that being the object of laughter was not fun! He didn't want Claudine to think he was laughing at her… or the professor either, for that matter.

Oh, no! The professor! He'd be coming to him too! In his creative streak, Heath had completely forgotten about that. What was he going to think when he saw Heath's ideas? What if he didn't figure out the one thing that tied them together and he thought Heath's train of thought was too chaotic? Or worse, what if he did get the connection and he thought a Star Wars-inspired toadstool was the funniest thing ever? Either way, Heath was worried!
