Marcus suspected gillyweed would be one of the plants offered in response to his request, but interestingly it wasn’t by the student who was named after the aquatic specimen. “Indeed, Mr. Atreyu-Rehman,” he confirmed, “Gillyweed is definitely a magical plant with a purpose. To think of being poor Elladora Ketteridge experiencing its effects for the first time.” To be completely be surprised to find oneself with gills and webbed limbs would have been quite interesting…after one got over the whole suddenly struggling to breathe.

Ms. Beery on the other hand answered with a broader stroke of plant descriptions. The professor listened intently, nodding in confirmation at the plants and uses that were mentioned, adding them under her classmates. “Yes to all that,” Cole remarked with a supportive smile to assure her that it was fine that she gave so much of an answer. He wasn’t going to hold it against her any more than he would for the students who remained quiet instead.

“Excellent responses…” Professor Cole stated as he straightened up from his desk to move around behind it so you could see its full surface once more. “Today’s lesson is going to touch on one of the more mundane uses of plants , one that actually wasn’t mentioned by anyone.” Though he supposed it could fall under the mention of ornamental since the overall effect created by the plant ornamented a space without the plant within.

“For centuries, the various parts of plants have been used to create dyes for fabrics and other surfaces. Be it flowers…roots…seeds...leaves…stems. And this included both muggle and magical sources.” His collection for today was a mixture of both. Speaking of which, with a careful flourish, he took the cover off of the six plants that graced his desk, some magically shrunken down to make them more manageable in the confined space of the greenhouse.

“Can you identify any of the six species I have here?” he asked as he looked around the glass room. “Or if you can’t…can you guess what colors might be created by each of them? You may come up closer to investigate, but be careful not to touch...for now.” One plant in particular would make trouble.
