 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
After the near drowning that occurred when Avalon drenched him with the Aguamenti, Copernicus had to scurry to finish repotting his plant. At least he hadn't lost points, although it was likely Professor Pink wouldn't have known he'd shocked the other boy even if she did see him touch Avalon's elbow.
He carefully placed his puffapod in the hole, checking and rechecking the consistency of the soil. Not too too wet, which meant Avalon's drenching had left only Cope a soggy mess. He gently massaged the roots out into the pot, careful not to break or snag them through any unnecessarily rough motions.
Once the roots were spread, he gently refilled the area around the base of the plant, checking to be sure he didn't pack the dirt in too tight. Covering the roots was one thing, but packing the poor thing in there so tightly it couldn't move or grow... that was just unkind. As was a shocking curse on an already socially challenged boy. Just saying.
He dampened the soil with another stream of water, although it certainly didn't need much. Finally, his flower was potted, and was looking quite smart in its little pink pot. He grinned absently as he took a moment to wring the water out of his sleeves and the tail of his robes.
Now, to make things right. If he could. Cope grabbed his bag and held it gingerly from his body as he approached the professor. "Professor Bunbury? Could I... have a moment?"
