I am accepting any and all unwanted flowers!!! Please do not burn them or toss them out!

I know it ain't right that some of y'all were harassed via an Event Committee fundraiser, but let's think of it this way ... someone silly thought they were being awful cute by wasting their money in an attempt to bully you, but instead you got a bucket load of beautiful flowers and extra funds for the dance! Jokes on them!

Please ask if you'd like advice on anti-wilting charms or ways to use dying flowers!

To appease Zephyr's wife, so he may knock Ribbonfin from their brooms with his mighty gusts next match game match.

Or to make bouquets for my cabin, I haven't decided.

In their name! Burning things all willy nilly doesn't count.

It's too monochromatic in here. I need variety.

Oh no! My tutoring hours are booked straight through Bacchanalia

I'm looking for greens, mostly. Are all your purples unwanted, Clem?

not all of them, just the roses. i don't know who they're from and it looks like a freaking flower shop in here

I can make you rose oil! It's an antidepressant and can be used as a facial toner. So, whoever thought they could get you down and make you frown really did just the opposite.

(It's also an aphrodisiac)

if roses can do all that why does anyone ever put them in vases?

I'm assuming it's because their mama don't do this sort of thing for a living. Or maybe the Zoloft, Botox, and Viagra industries have joined forces to lobby against the spread of rose related info?

Exactly! They spent money on us and we get a nicer dance. Sucks to be them!

There are ways to use dying flowers? For what?

Depends what kind. Some potions call for wilting or wilted flowers, but mostly I like to make gifts with them. You can season tea or make bath bombs or press them into candles. I will spare you the details, Etta. I know you know me well enough by now to recognize that I could go on ... and on ... and on.

It's a really expensive prank for a few embarrassed faces. Maybe the school should be teaching money management.

Point.
Carry on, throw away your money.

They're so pretty. :( And the Herbology students worked hard to grow them (not me, though, I didn't grow any of them)!

We should do something useful with them.

Do you think Logan has a nursing home? Some nursing homes take flower donations for residents' rooms. Maybe a faculty member could escort us and we could donate them.

That's such a sweet idea, Chloe!

If everyone casts a preservation charm on their flowers, we can owl them all over.

Do you think a bunch of owls arriving might startle them?

No, no, the roses I am keeping.

But I was also sent flowers with a hopefully false message, and I don't want to keep them. Better that Cricket uses them in some unholy ritual to ensure your victory, yes?

Oh, good. What did it
And yeah. Much better. Human sacrifice always feels like one step too far, so. This should be a nice medium. Thank you, for the contribution.

I should start a business -- Pranks to Potpourri.

As Leo said, it really wasn't a smart prank! I almost feel bad for them.

Almost.

Are your arms sore from carrying around all those roses?

Nope. The bunches I kept, I levitated.
