"Well, I wouldn't quite say fun... But it's somewhat less awful than I thought," he smiled, and set to work. He couldn't repot nearly as quickly as Alice, but by the time five minutes had passed he'd successfully repotted two.

"High praise," Alice laughed, getting down to business. She repotted about five, then glanced over at him. "I think maybe five or ten more and we could call it a day," she said slightly reluctantly. Calling it a day wasn't the first thing on her mind right now.

"Oh, okay." said Frank, slightly disappointed. He took extra time repotting the next two, not wanting their encounter to end. Not because he was enjoying Herbology, though it was slightly bearable now, but because he was rather enjoying Alice's presence. "I guess we're pretty much done..." he said sadly after repotting a third.

"Oh....yeah." She leant over and gave the earth in his last pot a soft prod, compressing it closer around the stem. "Um. Well. Whenever you're free, I mean, like I said, I'll give you a hand whenever, and..."

Ask him out, Lewis. Do it now.

"Well, um, actually...." Her nails tracked earth up and down her arm. Her nerve failed her. "Actually, um, the bell is about to go, so, well, we should really get cleaned up and..."

"Oh, thanks Alice!" Frank exclaimed quickly, looking hopeful. "Maybe I'll ah, come down some other time then... Y'know, if I'm not in the way or anything... Herbology makes so much more sense with you..." he trailed off, feeling rather stupid.

Way to sound like the world's biggest idiot.

Frank tried to smile at her, but he just looked extremely uncomfortable. Sighing, he walked to the greenhouse sinks and began to wash his hands.

"Oh, yeah, well, happy to help! Any time you like, just let me know, ök? It's...it's fun working with you, too." Alice followed Frank to the sinks and turned the tap. After a moment of piping rumbles, water gushed out. "Thanks for helping with the geraniums, too."

"Thanks." replied Frank, a warm ball of happiness rolling around in the pit of his stomach. She liked working with him! She said it was fun!! "And er, no problem. It's so helpful, maybe next time I won't drop the plant in front of the entire class." He laughed at the memory, though it really wasn't very funny. It was right up there with tripping on his way to the Sorting Hat for Worst Hogwarts Memory.

Alice laughed. "I offer no guarantees. One time I was supposed to be teaching a supplementary class to some firsties, and I picked up this plant to show them, andthe whole bottom half just dropped off! I nearly died of embarassment, I'm telling you!"

Frank laughed at the image of that. "I'm sure they were just impressed by your very presence. I swear, the first years are getting smaller and more moony-eyed every year." he said, wiping his hands dry on a rather muddy towel. "Well er, I guess we should head up then..." He left the greenhouse, having the sense to hold open the flimsy door open for Alice.

Alice wiped her hands on her robes and followed him. "Because I'm so impressive, of course...thank you..."
