 Greenhouse X Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Heath blushed at the praise from Professor Flamsteed. Whether negative or positive, that kind of attention always flustered him! No one saw that right? Hopefully not… his hair would cover most of the reddish tinge to his ears and face. Okay, so they were looking for shade, well-draining soil, and - Oh dear Merlin! His heart dropped upon hearing the professor say the “W” word. Did she have any idea of the Pandora’s box she might’ve just opened by suggesting this was a competition? If the other lessons so far this term were any indication, it was only a matter of moments before his classmates started exchanging spells and taunts. Consider his guard up!
He watched the vines, studying their reaction to his spell. They didn’t seem to mind the light, so clearly not Devil’s Snare. He ventured farther into the greenhouse, trying to dodge and weave between the vines, just in case they were something else dangerous, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw them creeping near Claudine. It took every bit of restraint he had not to go into full knight-in-shining-armor mode right then, but he would let her handle it herself... unless things started to go very badly wrong. Blink, blink. Wait, were they… tickling her? That giggle… did she know how adorable it was? He wished she’d do it more often… Merlin, what was he thinking?! He shook his head. Focus, Heath! He inwardly berated himself.
His eyes darted around the room in search of something purple or shady, but all he saw were vines and tables. Wait, that gave him an idea! The tables could provide shade. Maybe the wolfsbane was under one of them instead of on them? He made his way to the nearest table and peered underneath it. What would he find there?
