"That's a lot of men there... But I supposed I can offer a plant or two."
"Can't help show my bias for fellow faculty members, so let's start there. How about a basil plant for Professor Castellan? It is called the Witch's Herb after all. It's also been believed to be an aphrodisiac in the old days. Perhaps we should check how effect it is one of these days."
"Next is a well known pillar among the faculty of Wickerby, Soloman Westbrook. A sturdy man like this, one who has had to deal with many of the school students and faculty alike, seems like a very hardy and resourceful person. He would need a plant just as stubborn. One that comes to mind is the noble Apple Tree. The apple is found in the earliest depictions of magic, often depicted as harboring the biblical forbidden fruit. The can weather the most terrible of storms and survive the densest of frosts. Even as an animagus, Solomon would get to enjoy the tree's shade and its spoils."
"Finally, something for the students I suppose. Rohan Malhotra is a student who shows promise in my classes. One of a kind wonder and enthusiasm I expect to see year round. Early Druids used to think of the humble forest moss as a powerful tool for healing and spiritual rites. I see moss as a key to finding balance in care. Too much water and it rots, not enough and it will wither. Like plants, I hope Ro keeps his balance during his schooling journey."
"Hope you enjoyed those picks! I had fun researching them!"
