Gold had listened to everyone's answers, and she realized that something hadn't been said. So she raised a small, white hand. "Professor, I wanted to add that pH is important," she said, cheerfully. "We should know, at least roughly, the acidity or alkalinity of the soil we have on our hands, before we grow anything on it."

FUN.

Gold remembered all those times Sachie had told her she didn't get why Gold gardened - and Gold, in turn, had told her she was a 'sock' for knowing how to knit, and even practicing that knowledge.

Those had been amazing times.

Of course, these were too.

She slipped on her dragonhide gloves, as she got to work. She had to check for stones and weeds, before anything else, and that was exactly what Gold intended to do. Gloves snug and fit, hair pinned back the way it was in every Herbology class - or in any other class where she knew not pinning it back could cause a problem - and eyes bright, Gold sifted through her patch of earth, carefully but cheerfully carrying out the task.

Why was she so hungry?

Oh yeah, because she had skipped breakfast.
