"I'm sorry, Oakey. The others should be coming around shortly. I'm sure that they will have plenty for you to select from." Alyssa told him apologetically before she moved on to the young Gryffindor girl.



"Hey there, Anya. That's a nice vase you have there. I have some lovely flowers for you. I'm sorry that I don't have much of a selection, so you could always take what you want from mine and when the others come around, you can pick more from there. Remember to put on your work gloves. These flowers have thorns on their stems."Alyssa reminded Alec's best friend.

Water Please
 

OOC: Just catching up, I've been camping!

Zhenya listened as the Professor spoke about her thimble Vase. Of COURSE! How silly of her. She let her body slump forward in her chair and she hit her head quite hard on the table. Then she shook her head. How silly had she been!

"Thank you Professor! I don't know how I forgot that one!" she said, rubbing her head.

She picked up her wand and pointed it at the thimble and said "Floreneo!" and it turned into a vast - and not just a thimble vase! It was a Red Vase and she thought it was perfect.

"What do you think Professor? It looks a little better than a thimble vase, doesn't it?" she asked, with a huge grin on her face.

She raised her hand, still smiling, and waited patiently for the water people to fill her vase up.

Flowers Please
 

Jen sat tight as her purple with yellow spots vace was on her desk waiting for flowers

Sierra just shrugged. "I wasn't here anyway. I was off filling up the vases with water," she said. So, yeah. She'd just put her hand up anyway. Blah. Not much of a selection left?! ...but. ...but. Argh! So Sierra had slaved away like a house elf and filled up everyone's vases, only to get what was left over flower-wise. She felt like walking up to another student and yanking their flowers out their vase, but she didn't.

So she made do with what she had. She wasn't much of a flower person anyway. She'd gotten roses once and had crushed them up to use in a potion. If they took these out the classroom, she'd likely do the same with them. She arranged them here and there until she was able to come up with a decent arrangement.

Ella gave Alyssa a reassuring smile, wanting her to know she wasn't mad. "No worries Alyssa, it took me a while to get water so it's okay. I'm sure whatever you have left will be great!" She reached in without worry as her gloves were already on and picked out a couple of each color that Alyssa had left in her basket. "Thanks again." She said, placing them on to her desk. Not much to work with but Ella didn't mind a challenge and decided to make the most out of what she was given.

"Thanks!" Tayla smiled at the Hufflepuff girl, happy to know someone liked her vase. "All colours, please! Hogwarts pride. What's your name by the way? I'm Tayla."

She took the flowers she needed and started thinking about how to arrange them. Just as she was about to start, she heard the professor speak.

Tayla grinned as the professor came near and saw her vase. She was content that Professor Magnus wouldn't end the class thinking Tayla was the rusty-vase girl.

Tayla put on her gloves and started arranging the flowers carefully. She put the red and blue ones at the middle, and the yellow and green ones on each side.

Sorry guys I was traveling home from my parents most of the day :)
 

Minerva smiled at Tayla "My name is Minerva, but you can call me Minnie." she then saw others with their hands up and walked over to them letting them each pick out the flowers they wanted for their vases. She loved helping and was having so much fun saying Hi to everyone in class. She noticed that there wasn't any hands up for she went back to her vase and placed some flowers into her own vase before watching for others to put their hands up.

Amelia noticed that there was another girl who wanted her vase to be filled with water. So leaving her desk and her new vase, she headed over to where she was seated. "Let's see how this works out," she said as she filled the vase using Aguamenti. At the right moment, she stopped it with a Finite.

Annabelle saw the nice girl about to give her flowers. "Oh thank you Minnie, i am Annabelle but you can call me Belle for short." Belle picked out the yellow and purple flowers that were her favorite color. The vases actually looked prettier than she imagined.

"You are very welcome." Minnie smiled. "I love your choice in flowers."

Jen said "thanks" and put her flowers in the vase. No special arrangement just flowers.

Flowers Please!
 

Vlimia waited for the girl with the flowers to reach her. She started to regret sitting in the very back. To distract herself, Vlimia visualized what she wanted her flower arrangement to look like. Something that suited her rainbow vase, definitely. Something with a deep red, a dark blue and a nice creamy white. Vlim had a set image in her mind that she wanted to put together... but she would probably get the leftover flowers. All the good colours would have been used up. Well, Vlim would see what she got.

*Professor Magnus*
 

Alyssa noticed that there were still plenty of students who hadn't got their flowers yet, but she was fresh out of them. So she went up to the Professor and asked her,"Professor do you have any more flowers to hand out? I'm all out of flowers and there are still plenty of students who haven't got theirs."

Zhenya started eyeing her Vase off, and running her fingers over it. IT was so smooth, she was amazed!

Then someone came over to her with her wand. She looked up and watched as she filled her vase with water. "Thank you. Your name is Amelia, isn't it?" she asked kindly.

She looked at the vase intensely to see if there were any leaks, but there didn't seem to be. She was relieved and started to look around at other peoples flower arrangements.

As Alyssa waited for the Professor to tell her whether she had any more spare flowers that she could hand out, she remembered the flowers in her own vase. She had two flowers in yellow, blue and white. Alyssa figured that she would give up her for now and take whatever was remaining later.

So she went back to Ella. She had felt bad that she had been stuck with the left over flowers, and so offered her the flowers she had. "Here Ella, you can take mine. I have yellow, blue and white. I'll just take whatever there is left over once all of you have what you need."Alyssa smiled handing over her flowers to her fellow house mate.




Then Alyssa spotted Minerva and went up to her. "Hi Minerva. I noticed that you still have lots of flowers. Could you give some to Sierra? I didn't have of a selection for her to choose from. I'm sure that she'd appreciate yours better."Alyssa told Minerva pointing her in Sierra's direction.

Flowers Please :)
 

Zhenya had decided she wanted to make a rainbow flower display, so she raised her hand and waited for them to come and hand her some flowers.

She was so happy that the water in her vase had not started leaking as well, and she was excited to start practising on the homework thimbles. Maybe she would make her mother one!

Jory looked around his desk as Alyssa mentioned the gloves. They weren't anywhere to be found and he was certain he had taken them out of his trunk this morning. He probably had left them on his bed.

"Thanks, Alyssa,'' he said taking her gloves "I guess I forgot mine.'' Jory looked at the flowers left in her bucket and decided on some blue and yellow ones. He took a few of each and quickly arranged them in his vase. He felt like he was a florist.

"There,'' Jory said when he was done. "It looks okay.'' He pulled of the gloves. "Thanks again, Alyssa!''

Different timeline of course. Still waiting for the Prof xD
 

"Glad to be of help, Jory. Wow! You made a fantastic arrangement. You definitely have an artistic streak in you." Alyssa complimented him as she took back her gloves and put it back on.

Was gone all day. But catching up now ^_^ (PS usage at 2 am xD)
 

Waiting patiently, Stella continued thinking about what would look best in her vase. It definitely wouldn't hold very many flowers, so a true house unity arrangement was probably impossible. Therefore, she was going to stick with elegant, and maybe sunny. Considering she hadn't seen any hydrangeas in the collection Professor Magnus had had at the beginning of the lesson, she'd have to work with what was there. Not to mention, what was in the basket of whichever volunteer had noticed her hand. She'd just have to hope that what she wanted was available.

She smiled at the young Hufflepuff who had answered her request, and perused the collection of flowers being offered. "Thank you," she replied before the girl moved on, selecting a single sunflower and laying it on her desk in the meantime. She could wait a moment before actually filling her vase, after all, and besides, she needed to make sure the flower was ready. Therefore, she let her wand flick out of its holster, then used Diffindo to slice off the very end of the stem before carefully sliding the flower into her vase. That looked nice.

Flowers please. And LOL @ Sierra's very YELLOW flowers. xD
 

Swallowing hard, Lewis closed his eyes for a brief second to calm himself down. The girl couldn't hurt him in class. And she didn't even know his name so it was very unlikely she would find him outside class. But then again she knew which house he was in. Still, why was she mad at him in the first place?!

He shook his head a little as he opened his eyes again and put his head down on the desk, cheek first so he got a good look at the lower part of his vases. Which seemed to hold the water pretty well. REALLY well actually. There was absolutely no water on the desk! Okay, that meant he was ready for some flowers.

Not sure if he was supposed to SAY anything, Lewis settled with just raising his hand, hoping the flower-people would get what he wanted. At least the scary Slytherin girl wasn't one of them.

Minerva got to the back "Hello hope I didn't take to long. Go ahead and pick which ever flowers you would like." she smiled at the girl and waited for her to chose her flowers.

"Here Alyssa take some of these flowers until you get some more from Professor Magnus." she handed Alyssa some of the flowers out of her container she was carrying around.

"Hey Zhenya here are some flowers. Go ahead and pick which ones you want to use." Minerva smiled at the girl she had met at the crazy Balloon party. Then she looked around to see if Laura had changed her mind in trying to do her vase.

Minerva finally made her way to her fellow puff team mate. "Hey Lewis, sorry it took me so long. Go ahead and pick which ever flowers you would like. I hope I have ones you are looking for. If not I can go up and see what is still up front or Alyssa might have some."

"Oh wow! Thanks Minerva. When I get some more from the Profesor, I'll share them with you."Alyssa smiled her thanks. She then returned to where Sierra was and presented her with more flowers



"Hi Sierra, I know that I didn't give you many choices to select from earlier but I have more now. Would you like some more flowers to add to your beautiful arrangement?" Alyssa asked hoping that the Slytherin wouldn't 'bite' her head off for coming back again.

Sorry. I was asleep when you were all posting earlier! :P
 

Before she even had a chance to scoot around the room, Alyssa and Minerva had beaten her to it. Although they both seemed to be running out of flowers, so she might be needed after all.

A wry smile played across her lips when Alyssa asked for more flowers. Nodding at her, Issy handed her the practically full bucket she had. "Here you go. Not many gone from here, so plenty to hand out. And don't forget to keep some for yourself."

Having handed over her own flowers, Isabelle folded her hands behind her back and went to look at the pretty arrangements that people had made and placed on her desk, when she heard her name - or rather title - being called. Turning on the spot, she walked over to the girl who had called and grinned. "Much better, Miss Burton. Well done."


"Does anyone need MY help, or is it just flowers and water you require at the moment?" Isabelle called out to the assembled children.




OOC: Class will close tomorrow, so those of you just starting arranging have time to finish. ;P

Minerva noticed everyone was busy working so she took the time in between passing out flowers to work on her arrangement a bit more. She moved flowers around and then looked at it again. That looked nice she thought. She kept glancing up to make sure no one needed her for flowers as she worked on her own. She took a step backwards and looked at her arrangement, yes exactly the way she wanted it.
