"Lee, do you want to work with me?" Sarah asked him turning around and taking her wand out of her pocket and reaching into her bag to get her gloves.

Llewellyn stood up and after grabbing a pair of gloves and a pitcher, walked over and ste the down at a station near Nadia. He then left and returned with a plant, having decided to go it alone this lesson.

Professor Virohsa looked at the boy severely. "No wonder you don't remember what we covered last class, boy. You were asleep then. So I shall repeat myself. Muggles do not want to acknowledge what they see most of the time. And in such cases in which there is no other excuse, the Ministry of Magic intercedes and places memory charms.. as well as repelling charms on such magical creatures or plants", she explained as the class kept pairing up.

Sarah walked to the front of the room and collected a pitcher of water and a plant. She then headed back to her desk being careful not to drop anything and put them down on the table.

Erica gathered the things the professor had required, not really caring if she wanted to go at it alone or with a partner. She figured someone could ask her if they really needed a partner. She set all the materials on the table she was sitting at and waited for further instructions.

Sarah picked up the pouch and poured the contents slowly into the jug. She watched as the water turned blue and continued adding the minerals until the water was very, very bright.

Llewellyn picked up the sand and poured it into the water, he then began to mix it, all the while wondering if it was really sand. Afterall, the muggle in him thought, sand is silica, and that won't dissolve in water now will it? It would need to be a polar...He trailed off into his thoughts slowly mixing the sand, and staring around the room at the other students. I wonder how many of them think about these things... He thought.

Noting the icy cold tone in the professor's voice, Erica grabbed her packet and mixed it in the water. It took a few good minutes to get the water to the desired color. She looked around at the other students mixtures to see if she had done it correctly.

timmy was very nervous so he tried pyutting only a pinch in at a time after je saw another student finish. the waterm s;pw;ty but shurly turned a birght bright blue "wow" he thought

Pouring the contents of the pouch carefully into her pitcher, Arkee picked up a stirring rod and began to mix the minerals into the water.

Staring apprehensively into the obviously blue water, Arkee muttered, "I suppose this is not a good time to be colourblind. Is this blue?" she asked the people around her.

hrmm i wonder why the water was coloured slightly when we got it timmy thought to him self"ma'am may i ask why the water was coloured when we got it does that hacve something to do with the blue sabnd desoulving??"

Sarah turned to Lee as the rest of the class added their blue sand to their water, "I think so, it's interesting and you do a lot of pratical work, not just theory and stuff out of books."

Satisfied that her water was the correct color, Erica set it to the side and waited for further instructions.

Pushing aside the problem of her wand, Nadia attended the professor instructions and took the pitcher, now handed the mineral powder she was quite ready to begin. She then mixed the content of the bag inside the pitcher with water and watched it disolve since she couldn't really spoon it to it. She added carefully the needed quantity to turn it bright blue, then shook the pitcher a little to be quick the mixing, then moved to her plant. The Sky Blue Lagoon Nemesia was looking rather lacking of color even thought it was still quite blue. Nadia poured the water very slowly and on the soil directly just not to wet the leaves.

Now how to do the second part, the lighting, without any wand? It occurred to her she could summon the wand to her reach to spare herself from standing to reach a window of the greenhouse and loose more time. However, she hadn't any wand to summon her wand!

Nadia rubbed her temples with a sudden movement un-perched the lost item, the wand, which flew to the floor. Hearing the sound of wood aganist the floor and wondering where the laying wand on the floor came from, Nadia stood to lean and pick it up, passing by the table of the Hufflepuff girl Arkee and telling her, "It's blue enough."




Professor Virohsa noticed the girl had no wand out. She walked over to her and commented, "If you forgot your wand dear, please use a sun lamp.. Keep in mind those sun lamps are extremely hot. So you might want to place them far away from your plant".

Llew groaned. Wonderful...Charms...Just what I'm good at. He thought to himself. "Erm...Lumo...Lumos" He called and waved his wand, a rather weak light appeared near the plant. The flower turned a rather pitiful shade of dark blue and appeared to almost be flailing around.

"Oh, thank you!" Arkee exclaimed to the Slytherin girl who passed by, after casting the Lumos charm on her plant. "Now I know it's safe to do this..." She poured some blue water into her plant. The plant began to shrivel in a pathetic manner.

"Or not..." Arkee completed her earlier thought. "Pleeeease don't die?" she asked her plant, almost begging. "I'll give you lots of nice nutrients, plenty of sun, and I'll pay lots of attention to you!"

The flowers turned away from her dramatically, in what can only be described as a dissatisfied diva ignoring her fearful attendant.

"Wait, I know!" Arkee exclaimed, and turned from her plant, rummaging through her book bag. "I'll take a picture of you, and that way you'll know I've been paying attention to you!"

Having found her camera, Arkee turned to her plant, which had already died and flopped tragically onto the desk.

"Drama queen," she muttered, despite her sadness, and went to fetch another plant.



Professor Virohsa observed her work for a while. "Please child, add some water to it", she explained. "The water will make them.. happier"
