Pyrewort Discussion - Post in this thread please.herbal_witchApril 24 2007, 09:39:26 UTC
Mr Visconti and Miss Archer have offered to locate an overseas supplier of pyrewort plants. The current situation of our pyrewort crop is not good. I had hoped we could have saved half of the plants, but the damage has affected so many of them, it is hard to say if we will save more than a few.
Pyrewort is not an easy plant to germinate. I have seeds, and will begin the process again, of course - however, the seeds take over a month to germinate. If floo-powder can be obtained from another source, it will help us to move from safehouse to safehouse, but Miss Granger informs me that the Floostick powder requires modification which can only be made while the powder is being manufactured.
Minerva had the excellent idea of having teachers move from classroom to classroom where possible instead of students, and Mr MacMillan suggested rationing student supplies of the powder. I feel this should be put into effect as soon as possible.

Won't having the teachers move around mean double lessons for those with OWL and NEWT classes? Not that I'm complaining much but it could be a timetabling nightmare. Unless we spent half the time in one classroom and half the time in the other? I expect we need to organise a ration for visits to the library and such like?
But we must certainly conserve floo powder. That's the main thing. Will there be an announcement?

I am not sure that I follow you. The timetable will not change, the lessons will just be in different places, that is all. You do not currently teach OWL and NEWT classes simultaneously.
There will most certainly be an announcement, very soon.

Oh. Right. No, what I meant was if we are teaching OWL (or NEWT) classes which contain students from all the houses, then we will have to do that lesson twice. Won't we?

Ah, yes. I see what you mean now. The logistics could be tricky because of individual student choices. Perhaps just the non-OWL and NEWT students should remain where they are? I can see that I will have to work on this some more.

I can obtain some floo powder from Dolph. His aunt supplies a small group of werewolves with Wolfsbane potion, and they stockpile quite a lot of it to get around. It won't be a huge amount, but it should help some.
