Eiji never EVER wanted to be in the same thought process as Professor Rainwater and his underwear ever again. Thanks.
Could anyone else guess where else Eiji never wanted to be again? If you were to have guessed the arms of his Herbology professor then you would have been spot on and won nothing more than the self validation that you were correct in your assumptions about the seventh year snake. He was not opposed to touch or affection, he simple had a very VERY finite group of individuals he tolerated it from and an even more finite group that he sought it out from. Professor Rainwater was on neither of these lists. And that was NOT to say that he loathed the man, not that he particularly respected the man either - only Professor Noble truly had earned that from this Rasting - but Eiji could appreciate someone's talent and intellect without respecting them entirely.
Also...he saw how much the man looked out for his little sister and how reliant she had become on the man so...that counted for a fair bit.
But still. The hugging was entirely unnecessary. E N T I R E L Y.
His shoulders tensed on contact and his head nearly rolled back to groan and curse the red sky of Hogwarts for ensuring that this term was literally the worst term of his life - and he had been through an inferi invasion as a first year. And then came some additional salt in his irritated wound - the man was crying. He would rather squirt lemon juice in his eye or sit through a Divination lecture for an entire day than have his Herbology professor crying on him. Maybe he could just conveniently forget it happened.
Unfortunately there were entirely too many witnesses to the whole ordeal, among them his girlfriend who he could HEAR was amused by it all. He could pick out her laugh among a flock of singing fwoopers, honestly.
THANKFULLY Professor Rainwater was letting go of him and Eiji hoped that his pale features were still pale and not flushed from the whole experience - spoiler alert, they absolutely were bright pink. "Certainly...professor. I will stop by this afternoon once I'm done tutoring," he stammered before sitting as FAR away from the man as humanly possible. And maybe the fifth years he was tutoring Potions to could be particularly daft today so that he wouldn't have TOO much time left at the man's office before he had to be back inside the castle for curfew and dinner.
That had been worse than hugging grandpa at King's Cross Station at the start of term. Almost. Not really at all. Whatever.
As for the question being posed...Eiji had already showed the man that he had knowledge on the subject with his offering of minerals to put into the soil to help add potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur into the soil along with helping balance it's pH.
