Shannon rushes into the greenhouse, having just woken up from a much needed nap. She sees all the students feeding the dransuls, trimming and watering plants, and scrubbing desks. Seeing there isn't much left to do, she decides to grab a broom and sweep up the clippings from the plants and the weeds that have been pulled. As there is a never-ending supply of both, she makes her way around the room several times, sweeping the floor clean, only to have more clippings and weeds fall on it. But she doesn't mind, she's done with her homework already...

- Rainbow Roses to prune
- Buttercup Bushes to water
- Dransuls to feed (mice on topmost shelf in front)
- Desks to scrub

Serena had busied herself with helping to clean the desks, watered soe Buttercup Bushes and began pruning the roses. She noticed that Shannon had already swept up her clippings, and had come back to sweep up the rest. "Sorry, I wasn't finished yet. Here, let me help you get the rest!" She watched some of the other students feeding the Dransuls, but decided she was better suited to the pruning.
"Thanks for letting us help Professor! I love being around plants!"

Riiya felt that she should fins something to do, instead of just standing by the corner, so she picked up a water can and began to water the Buttercup Bushes. making sure all of them had efficient water, she then also made sure the leaves were slightly sprinkled with water to sort of give it a bath. she began to hum a tune as she continued along..

"Thank you all very much," Professor Phoenix said.

I will post a To-Do-List every time I open the greenhouses. Just pick what you would like to do best, assume Professor Phoenix is around, even if she doesn't say much, and go ahead with the tasks!

In the meantime, Professor Phoenix was busy cutting back an especially large Devil's Snare that, however, seemed to have been lulled to sleep by a spell.

Serena stepped into the greenhouse and saw Professor Phoenix working on the Devil's Snare. "Hi Professor, I think I'll stay out of your way and get to work!" Serena had no desire to get a closer look.
She went to the cupboad and picked up some of Mrs Skower's All-Prupose Magical Mess Remover and put on her gloves. Then she turned to the stone basin and started to scrub out the stains. She thought to herself, "Those Parrot Tulips can make a real mess. I'm glad this cleaner does the job!"

Kay walks into the Greenhouse, carrying her dragon hide gloves. As she enters the room, she notices Professor Phoenix cutting back the Devil's Snare and one other student scrubbing the stone basin. She looks up at the black board at the tasks that need to be completed and decides to help spread the Hawan Fungi. Kay places her gloves on her hands and carefully picks up one layer of the fungi from the stack on the front desk. She carries the fungi carpet outside and begins to spread it out on the earth under the plants located on the sides of the path leading to Hogwarts Castle.

Lina enters the greenhouse, glad that it was open again. She looks on the notice board and sees the avaliable tasks. Well, I might as well get started she thinks and goes over to water the Flutterbushes.

::genie walks in and heads straight to the desks and begins cleaning them::

Shannon enters the greenhouse and reads the task list. She notices nobody is sorting the Bubotubor pus vials, so she gets out her dragonhide gloves (can't be too safe...) and begins sorting them into the crates.

Lyra enters the greenhouse and reads the task list. She sees Shannon trying to sort the Bubotubor pus vials by herself and desides to help. She puts on he dragonhide gloves and gets to work.

ALicia walks in and reads the task list. She decides, although it is not a very pleasent task, to grab the Hawen fungi and get to work. She puts on her dragonhide gloves, takes out a smaller sack and fills it with fungi using a trowl. She walks out of the greenhouse and notices the other person spreading the fungi. "Mind if i help?" she kneels down and begins to work while chatting happily with her new companion.

Sangetha hurries inside. She looks at the task list and sees that Kay and Alicia doing the Hawan Fungi spreading. She pulls on her dragonhide gloves, picks them up from the front desks and starts spreading them equually down the path towards Hogwarts castle.

After 20 minutes in the scorching heat, her neck prickling, and sweat running down her face, she removes her gloves and starts to wipe off the sweat from her palms on her apron.

She then notices Serena washing the stone basin at the side of the greenhouse. She picks up Mrs Skower's All-Prupose Magical Mess Remover and starts to scrub the yellow and blue pollen off the basin furiously.

Alicia walks back into the Greenhouse brushing the hair out of her eyes. she walks over to the sink and washes her trowl, her gloves, and then other tools that were laying in the sink, forgotten by the people who had used them. When she finished dhe washed her hands with disenfectant soap. She picks up the clean tools and puts them away in their respective places and turns to leave.

After finishing up with the Bubotuber pus, Shannon decides to water the flutterbushes. She finds the biggest watering can she can and fills it. Sloshing a bit on the floor in front of the plants, she begins watering.

::genie finishes with the desk and picks up a mop and begins mopping up the floor::

Shannon looks around and sees Genie mopping up the mess she's just made. "Oh, thanks! I was going to do that after I finished watering." She slops a little more on the floor as she overbalances the huge can in her hands. A little water splashes onto the two girls' robes. "Sorry about that!" she says, blushing.

Serena scrubbed the basin making sure to leave no spots behind. She put the cleaner back in the cupboard, then decided to help with the Hawan Fungi. At least she would be outside. She needed some fresh air. The fumes from the cleaner had made her sneaze. She dried her gloves before picking up some fungi and then carried it outside to join the others already working there.

"Proffessor Pheonix! I really need the extra credit. What do I do. Victoria said running in.

After washing the Stone Basins, she picks up one of the Bubotuber Pus plants and starts squeezing the light paster coloured pus into a vial. After finishing the first crate, she then took strong yellow colored pus and started squeezing it as well. She screwed her nose, because the smell was revolting but she would live with, she though grimly. Finally, picking up the last crate of dark lime color, as the pus oozed out , she thought might have to gag as the smell polluted the air. Squeezing the pus as fast as possible, she finished. With a smile of grim satisfaction, she looked at the 150 vials of the three puses.

'Disgusting! Oh well...atleast its done' she muttered.

After watering the flutterbushes, Shannon decides to join the others outside adding the fungi to the plants. She puts her dragonhide gloves back on, and as she kneels down to help, she asks the others, "I thought we were only supposed to sort the pus that was already in store, not gather more...Although I'm sure that will be very helpful if it's needed..." She begins laying out fungi.

Sangeetha, who heard Shannon, turned to look at her in shock and despair.

'Really? Sort them? I didn't read properly. Now I really feel stupid!' She looks at the 150 vials of freshly squeezed bubotuber pus.

'Oh no, what am I going to do? Professor is going to kill me.' Sangeetha puts her hands up to her eyes trying to stop herself from breaking down.

'What a mess I have made of things!' she moans to herself.

She then thinks that she would have to worry about the mess later. She looked around for more work. She then decided to water the Fluttterbushes. Filling a huge water can, she started watering them.

'I am going to be killed...I'm am going to be killed...' she sings quietly.

Lyra finished putting all of the light pastel yellow viles of Bubotuber Pus into the first crate, so she started putting the strong sunflower yellow into the second crate.

Shannon realizes something. "Well, I'd imagine if she had been upset, she would have said something to you since she's in there cutting back the Devil's Snare. Maybe she was going to do it anyway!"
