Anne looked at Antelope with blatant disappointment on her face. Making the plant less dangerous didn't seem so fun at all. If Anne was going to be trapped in two more years of Herbology, she wanted it to be fun. Granted, she wasn't sure that plants could be fun on their own.
Anne considered the new wizard before them and wondered if anyone but former Hufflepuffs liked to play in the dirt. She did feel bad about the loss of Professor Skeeter. He was kind, even as Anne found his class far too slow for her liking. She was old enough to give this new wizard a chance. He might even be interesting.
Anne tuned out the rest of her classmates and turned her attention to her notebook. If she was going to be stuck with these plants, she had to pick something interesting. She needed something that connected to her interests. She started sketching, letting her mind work through the possible combinations in front of her. The answer hit like a punch. Of bloody course, she could improve on a potion!
Diving into her bag for her potions notebook, Anne was almost giggling when she raised her head again. Punching her hand in the air, Anne's momentum nearly took her out of her seat. "I want to hybridize shrivelfig and a fireseed bush. I'll call it Pyrofig." The look of nearly maniacal glee on her face made clear Anne wouldn't be changing her mind.
