ShoShana finally sniffed someone as nervous as herself. She when over to the newest addition to the class room and said: “Hi, um, my name is ShoShana. I was wondering if I could work with you, please.”<br>She wagged her Retriever-like tale a bit and smiled warmly at Eleanor, hoping she wouldn’t send such a weird creature away.

Eleanor turned to see who was talking to her, delighted to find a new friend. Her eyes swept over the ears and tail, of course, but those couldn't be justifiable reasons to refuse to work with someone.
"Of course!" She smiled, looking back up at the reddish-colored plant. It did look slightly dangerous, as if it was waiting for its prey to become unwary of its surroundings. What a silly thought! Eleanor berated herself. She could simply not let herself be afraid of a plant. "It's nice to meet you, Sho...my name's Eleanor." The Hufflepuff nodded towards the plant, hoping she would get along with this new acquaintance. "Maybe it's not so bad, huh?"

“Oh this?” said ShoShana taking a seat next to Eleanor, and examining the plant “I’m sure it’s not a bad as it looks. I mean they wouldn’t tell you to slap it away when it tries to touch you if it was going to do any real damage, would they?”<br> Sho was happy to find a friend in class. She had begun to think no one was going to work with her.
“I wonder what this thing looks like when it’s full grown?” asked Sho aloud. She then looked at Eleanor. “So what’s your favorite Magical plant?”

"Now for your assignment everyone! At the end of one hour, your Venomous Tantaculas have to be healthy, groomed, and watered. If your Tantacula is then you get full marks." Eden yelled. He smiled and began to walk around and examine everyone.

Silver sniffed, looking around and seeing nobody available. She stood in front of a smallish Venemous Tantacula by herself, and quickly tied back her hair to make sure it didn't get in the way. Putting on gloves, she waited for further instruction by the Professor.

“Well, Miss Rose, shall I groom and you water or visa-versa?” asked Ashlle putting way her notes. She looked at the Tantacula carefully & added: “I believe some of the leaves need pruning on this side here. They look dead.”

"I think it may be better if I prune him," she said not trying to sound over confident. "I have raised one before and they can be a bit over zealous when you are plucking off parts of them, even if they are dead parts." she finished with a slight laugh and a smile.

“Very well-” said Ashlle “-than I shall see about getting some liquid plant food and water.” & she went off to get some from the Student Shed.

Rose quickly set out to prune the magnificent plant. He was small but definitely a hardy little fellow. She smiled to herself as his vines wrapped gently around her pinky and she massaged his tiny leaves. She carefully plucked off the leaves that were damaged or dead with one hand while she kept the plants attention with the other hand giving him even gentle strokes to calm him. He seemed to like the attention and didnt even notice her removing the excess foliage. When she was finished the plant seemed to shiver happily as it relaxed.

Meanwhile Ashlle was mixing Tantacula Food with water at the student bench. She made sure to put in a pinch les than it said because their Tantacula was a baby & probably wouldn’t need a whole scoop of the Plant Food. She then mixed it with the water & brought it back over.
“I used to water some of the plants at my last orphanage & they taught me to water by the roots not at the top of the plant. Is that true for Tantaculas as well?” she asked Rose, pausing before she watered their project plant.

Kalista set the tools on the table and then smiling, she began groom their little plant. “I bet that feels good, uh.” She said to her new charge as she groomed away

"Oh, Definitely!" Rose said to Ashlle, "Would you like water dumped on your head?" she asked with a laugh. "Treat them like another human and they will treat you like another plant," she finished with a smile.

“And that’s good, isn't it." Said Ashlle, unsure how she felt about being treated as a plant.
None-the-less she put the long spout of the watering can to the lip of the pot & poured the enriched water into the pot. The Tantacula seemed to sigh again. It it’s short life it had rarely had such tender care. Ashlle stopped pouring when about a cup of water had gone into the pot.
“More?” she asked Rose. Having only had experience with the Muggle Spider Plant (which had been in a much smaller pot), she was unsure how much was too much.

"That should be plenty. We wouldn’t want him to feel bloated." she said with a slight laugh. "And yes it is good for a plant to treat you as another plant, well usually. Most plants live in harmony together and they don’t fear one another, however they fear humans, so it is a very good thing for them to treat you as another plant." she finished as she rubbed his tiny leaves gently.

“Ahhh, now I see.” Ashlle then returned the watering can to the Student Shed to be used another day. When she came back, she saw Prairie Rose gently rubbing the fat leaves of the Tantacula, whom appeared to be enjoying it immensely.
Ashlle decided to sing to the plant. It was generally ageist her nature to involve herself in such frivolity but Seeing as how this plant seemed to actually react to petting and such she decided to go out on a limb and see what a little music would do.
Heart and Soul Something in the moonlight catches my eye The shadow of a lover goes dancing by Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so give me love, give me heart and soul. You never let me cross the other side now I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow Hard on the heels of something more, but I lost your love, heart and soul.
The tear in my heart as you walk on by. I feel so low and your head is high. Everything you do convinces me more Please give me love, give me heart and soul Looking to the day when I saw your face Wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race You moved in a way that I'd known before, Now I want your love, heart and soul
Tired eyes, tears that dried on the bed on the pillow where you told your lies A turn of the key, my blood runs cold Don't look back to hurt me more Everything you said was to the point Oh won't you even try to... Give a little bit of heart and soul give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul and don't you make me beg for more Give a sign I need to know a little bit of heart and soul
Walking on the water, walking on the air That was the heart of the love we shared Do you keep a secret left untold So you can't give love heart and soul? I sued to have a lover with the midas touch, I turned to gold but he turned to dust. Left me for another, I turned to stone. Now give me love, heart and soul.
Tired eyes, tears that dried On the bed on the pillow where the love has died A turn of the key through the door you go. Don't look back to hurt me more. Everything you said just said it all. Can't you try to...
Give a little bit of heart and soul give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul and don't you make me beg for more Give a sign I need to know a little bit of heart and soul
Somehow, I lost my way looking to see something in your eyes but love will never compromise Now this is the politics of life, yeah
Ashlle’s voice was haunting.
