 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
The polite smile widened a fraction at the professor's words. "That makes sense. It's like they're partners in a dance, adapting to each other," she said thoughtfully, her mind latching onto the image of the coral and algae intertwining in a delicate balance. "I wonder if there's a way to optimize the algae's health. Maybe adjusting the nutrient levels in the water could enhance the coral's vibrancy."
Her thoughts raced, spinning with possibilities. Gillyweed loved the idea of ecosystems working in harmony, each element playing a critical role in the survival of the others. She had read about coral bleaching in Muggle texts and couldn’t help but draw parallels with magical plants exposed to environmental stressors. The thought of finding a solution—some way to prevent or even reverse damage to aquatic life—fascinated her.
"Do you have any other aquatic plants you're particularly excited about, Professor?" Gillyweed asked, her voice carrying an undercurrent of curiosity that was unmistakable. She was always drawn to water-dwelling plants, as they seemed to belong to a different, more mystical realm. It was as if they thrived in worlds just out of reach—places where reality and magic wove together. "They seem so... ancient, like they hold secrets no one has uncovered yet. I’ve always felt like studying them is a way to glimpse into a forgotten part of our world."
Her gaze flickered once more to the box on the workstation. "What are you bringing in, if you don't mind me asking?" she inquired, tilting her head. "Is it a new specimen for the greenhouse? Or maybe something for one of our lessons?"
