Nora still didn't know much about magic, but she knew enough to wonder why this couldn't have been done with magic. Wasn't that sort of thing supposed to be faster and more efficient? Or maybe the professor just didn't want a bunch of amateurs handling all the new plants with basic magical training. That did make more sense. Regardless, the first year decided to head outside to help out. After all, a muggleborn with no magical experience skipping an event this early in the school year really didn't make much sense.

"Hello, Professor," she said, as she approached the area. She didn't know why his arm was bandaged and in a sling, but in a way, she was scared to ask. It might make her run for the castle. "Do you need me to write something for you?" Assuming it wasn't something that required loads of skills in magic, that is. There seemed to be only other student here, which had Nora wondering if they all knew something she didn't. Maybe she could just edge on out without anyone seeing her? She'd just ignore the fact that she'd already spoken up and greeted the professor.
