Violet needs her vase filled :)
 

Violet looked around the room to see that some people were now getting their vases filled with water while other people were getting very beautiful flowers. She looked down at her plain purple vase that was empty of water and called out one of the students that had jugs of water. "May I please have my water vase filled with water as well." smiling at the helpers.

Minerva saw someone that needed flowers so she went over to let the girl pick the flowers she wanted for her new vase. "I like your vase."

Catching up and Waiting for Water
 

Now that the other volunteers are online, please post Alyssa if you want flowers.
 

Alyssa realized that Minerva was now starting to give out her flowers as instructed, so she decided that it was okay for her to slow down now and let her and the other volunteer give out what they had. As she waited for someone to ask for flowers, she decided to pick out two white colored, two blue colored and two yellow colored flowers. Unfortunately, she didn't have any red ones left in her basket, but figured that she had more than enough flowers to fill her vase. She delicately pulled them out from the bunch and arranged them in her vase, before waiting to see who wanted more flowers.

*clones Amelia*
 

Amelia smiled as Alyssa came around with flowers for her to use. "Thank you," she said as she looked at the different flowers available. She carefully picked some yellow and purple ones to match her vase. She wasn't really picky about the types, so she chose different ones. And she made sure that she didn't get pricked by thorns.

When she had her flowers, she started arranging them in the vase.

Amelia nodded as the girl said that she lucked out. "Very good job. I'd like a vase like that." She nodded. Not that she'd do a vase like that herself of course because that was like copying... but duh. A purple vase would have been awesome.

Amelia saw someone else in need of some water for their vase, so she headed over to them. "Let's see how this holds up," she said happily as she started filling it up using Aguamenti. When she had gotten enough water inside, she used a Finite.

And another boy needed water as well. "Here you go," she said as she pointed her wand at his vase. "Aguamenti." And hopefully his vase would hold all the water in it. "Finite."

Flowers please :D
 

"Thanks,'' Jory said to the Slytherin girl who had filled up his vase. He was please to see that his vase was okay and had no leaks or cracks after he'd carefully examined it.

Jory spotted Alyssa was not far from his table, letting Amelia choose her flowers. "Hey, Alyssa,'' he called "I need some flowers please.''

Annabelle said "Thank you very much" very nicely to the boy in her class. She was glad she got a helper. She realized her vases were holding the water and there were no cracks! "Yes i did the spell right!" she said happily to herself and couldn't stop smiling.

I know we don't have to...but I was bored and made an edit of the arrangement xD
 

Now with her flowers on the table, Kurumi began to place a red rose into the vase when she remembered something important about placing flowers in a vase for the first time. Pointing her wand at each stem, Kurumi cast a Severing Charm on them to snip the stems at an angle so that each had a greater surface area exposed so more water and nutrients could be sucked up. Once this was done, Kurumi returned her attention to the first red rose she had picked up and placed it towards the back of the vase, holding it in place with her left hand while she reached for another red one with her right.

When she had a back row of red flowers, Kurumi reached for the blue roses next and added a row of them as well. Green roses followed and framed the single yellow rose in front. Leaning back to look at her work, Kurumi rather wished that she hadn't transfigured a purple glass vase as that color contrasted greatly with the colors of the roses. Kurumi set her arrangement on her desk and looked up at Professor Magnus before slowly raising her hand.

"Professor...what should we do when we are done with our arrangement?"

"Okay Jory, here you are. I don't have many flowers left but feel free to take whatever you want from me and you can always get some more from Minerva or Lily or the Prof when they come around. Be careful though. Like Kurumi reminded everyone, some of the flowers have thorns. So you might want to wear your work gloves. If you didn't bring yours, you're more than welcome to borrow mine. "Alyssa told him handing over her basket of flowers and her work gloves at the same time.

flowers please (and I might take a bit to respond)
 

flowers frm Alyssa (sorry its short posting from phone)
 

Vickers gave Alyssa a small smile as she neared him "Thanks Alyssa" he uttered as he took a few stems of each kind of flower with his gloved hand. He wasnt that great with flower arranging, unless lining them up according to color and classification can pass for that, so he knew he needed as much choices as he could get his hands on and hope he could come up with something decent.

With two of the girls already off distributing some of the flowers, Isabelle followed suit. If the kids didn't take too many each there should have been plenty for everyone to make something pretty with.

But it seemed some only wanted one flower. "Nate, surely you want a couple more than that? Here, take some from my bucket," Issy smiled as she approached the desk of the young Hufflepuff. Flicking her wand out, she rested the weight of the bucket on the desk and pointed said wand into the boy's vase. Filling it half way with water, she smiled at him as she waited for him to choose some flowers.

Minerva had already made her way over to the Gryffindor, but as she had been called herself, Issy wandered over, too. "I agree, that's a very nice vase. Mush less likely to leak as well."

Someone was finished already? Well now, that was quick. Maybe it was just her that could never quite get flowers right when she was putting them in vases. Kurumi certainly seemed to have done a fabulous job.

"Very nice, Miss Hollingberry. I like that you've used all the house colours." That was after all, part of what she wanted. Unity. "If you're sure you've finished, please go and place it on display on my desk. Then you can continue practising with your thimbles until the end of the lesson, if you wish."

Flowers needed!

Isabelle turned her head at hearing that piece of news. Seeing a Ravenclaw with her hand in the air, she gave Kurumi a smile before moving off with her bucket.

"Here we go, Miss Gardiner, take what you think you need." And that reminded her of something. Something she had to remind THEM of. "Also guys, please remember to use your gloves," she knew Kurumi had mentioned it, but always best to emphasis it. "Don't want any of you pricking yourselves badly. It's not pleasant."

Nate then heard what Kurumi said and that would be a smart idea. So he then put on his gloves. He needed more flowers. He had the perfect arrangement in his head. He would have 1 yellow daisy for hufflepuff. And one meaning there in the lead. 2 bluebells for blue being ravenclaw, and there in second place for 2. 3 green orchids for slytherin, and 3 because there in third. Sorry gryffyndor but 4 red roses for gryffyndor and there in fourth. With the white rose for his mom. Hopefully the professor would get what he is trying to do. Then he saw the professor offering him some from his bucket. He then took out the flowers that he wanted and put them in the arrangement he wanted them to be in. He then said "Thanks professor."

ooc: I know it's not the exact amount that I said, but it was the closest one I could find.

Flowers please!
 

Lily now had a vase, a blue vase.... that held water. She had little designs along the vase, but she wasn't sure what they were supposed to look like. Lily smiled as she looked at her vase. It was nice and she felt that she had done a good job. Now all she needed was flowers to make the vase complete. So Lily raised her hand to signal that she needed flowers, and then proceeded to put on her herbology gloves so that she wouldn't hurt herself as she picked up roses. Now to wait until someone got the chance to bring over flowers.

Ella needs water puhlease :)
 

Ella sat patiently, waiting to see if her vase would hold water. She was anxious to get to the flower arranging part of the lesson but that wouldn't work if her vase was all leaky. She drummed her fingers on her desk absent mindedly while she waited.

Minerva saw two more students needing flowers so she went over to them so they could pick out what they wanted for their arrangements. "Everyone is doing so wonderful with their vases." she loved being able to look at all the pretty vases.

Flowers, please! It doesn't matter which person gives them to Sierra. :)
 

As Sierra looked around the room to see if anyone else needed any water in their vase, she happened to catch one of the Puffers looking up at her in a weird sort of way. Hmph. He hadn't even said thank you to her...and supposedly Puffers were meant to be the nice ones!

Whatever. 'Rude weirdo,' she thought to herself.



Sierra raised her hand. "I'm ready for the flowers," she said, walking to her desk. She pointed out her vase and started to take a seat when she noticed another student waiting for water. The Puffer could just fend for himself. The class was moving on, and Sierra needed to wait by her chair for some flowers. With that thought in mind, she slid into her seat, feeling only slightly guilty a moment later.

*sigh*

She rose from her chair, wand at the ready.

She walked a few rows over and approached the Puffer. Aiming her wand into the girl's vase, she said, "Aguamenti!" She held her wand steady while the jet of water filled the vase. "Finite," she finally said, ending the spell.

Lily waited until one of the helpers came around to give her flowers. As one came up to her and offered her flowers, Lily carefully took a few. Two blue ones for Ravenclaw, and one of each of the other colors. "Thank you!" Lily said looking at the Puff that was handing out flowers. Carefully, Lily placed the flowers in her vase, which didn't have much open space left once Lily had placed the roses as she wished. Once it was all set up, Lily took her gloves off and put the vase near the edge of her desk to see how it looked.

ready for flowers :)
 

Ella looked around expectantly, wondering if she would get water at all. She was relieved when finally a girl approached, wand already out and ready to go. Wow, well that's efficient. She smiled nervously at the girl, noting that she didn't exactly seem pleased to have to come over and help Ella, and watched her fill the vase with water. "Thanks," she said when the girl had finished. Luckily, the vase didn't seem to be leaky and there was no puddle anywhere on her desk. That was a huge relief. Now she could get to the fun part, arranging the flowers.

Ella got out her gloves and pulled them on, not wanting to hurt her hands while handling the flowers. She raised her hand in the air and looked around, waiting for a flower delivery.

Sorry for the delay. Just came online. Assumed others would give the flowers.
 

Alyssa was standing watching as the other volunteers handed out the flowers but then she noticed two students who had been waiting awhile. It was Sierra and Ella. So she quickly walked up to them and offered them the flowers in her basket. "Here you are. I'm sorry that I didn't see your hands up earlier. I don't have much of a selection left, but you can take what you want from my basket and if you want more you can always get them from the others with the baskets. Mind the thorns now."Alyssa reminded Sierra and Ella. She definitely didn't want either of them to prick their fingers.

"Thank you", Alex said to the kind Hufflepuff girl who brought her flowers. She decided to take two of each color flower. Alex then set about arranging them nicely in her vase. After several tries, she was finally satisfied with the result.

Flowers from Alyssa! but seeing as she's run out, I'll take some more from another
 

Thanks Alyssa. He put the gloves on his hand and inspected what flowers she had to give. Not much left of the red ones? He said smiling as he took one color flower of each of the ones she had left. I'll see if anybody else has more for me.

Flowers Pleaseeeee ^_^
 

Anya eyed her vase as the Slytherin boy filled it up. So far so good. She watched as the water lever rose...

...and rose...

...and then overflowed!

Eek! There was water all over her desk now!

"It's not problem." she said quickly moving her notes out of the way. She didn't want those to get wet.

She then turned her attention back to her vase. "It worked!" she squealed. She was half tempted to climb over her best and give the green boy a hug.

But she resisted. She needed to clean up her desk first.

While Anya was silently celebrating her watertight victory when she noticed another student pass. She gave her an appreciative smile. Her vase was already full though. Along with most of her desk.
