"No problem Madame, let me know if you'd like to take a day off, I can talk to the Headmaster about stepping in for a day."

"You are so much like your father child, a godsend. He said the same thing to me in his years at Hogwarts." She praised, making the girl smile. "Shame the Valerians aren't in bloom though, they're beautiful to look at before I dig them up."

Venus smiled and took out her wand. "Orchideous"
