Journal Entry #5

[doctorkishitani]

What do you suppose is a good name for a goat? I've been trying to come up with one for quite some time, but I haven't thought of anything suitable and I'd like to give them a suitable name, since I'll be looking after them all year.

Maybe something will come to me once I meet them.

[Filtered to Gamzee, Maxim and Tony.]

How are you feeling? I can't imagine you were very well on Sunday.

[caresawholeawfullot]

Uh, yeah. That makes sense.

Nope. I'm Ted Wiggins. Third year Gryffindor.

[doctorkishitani]

In that case, it's good to meet you! I'm Shinra Kishitani. Fourth year Ravenclaw.

I wonder how many students here are familiar with goats. They would probably have something of an advantage as far as this assignment is concerned.

[caresawholeawfullot]

Good to meet you, too, Shinra.

Yeah, I guess they would!

[doctorkishitani]

It stands to reason.

You weren't assigned a goat, were you?

[caresawholeawfullot]

Nope, but that's okay. I'm just gonna try to keep my geraniums alive.

[doctorkishitani]

You're raising geraniums?

Is they for a herbology assignment or just for general interest?

[caresawholeawfullot]

Yeah, just to see if I can manage.

[doctorkishitani]

That is very impressive! I was never exceptionally good at herbology.

How are they coming along?

[caresawholeawfullot]

Me, neither. That's why I'm trying.

So far, so good!

[doctorkishitani]

I'm very glad to hear that.
Do geraniums have magical properties?

[caresawholeawfullot]

I don't think so, but maybe!

[doctorkishitani]

We should find out!

[caresawholeawfullot]

Yeah, let's!

[doctorkishitani]

If we studied its properties, we could probably determine what its magical effects might be.

It might take a fair bit of trial and error, but that's the nature of science, isn't it?
