Dirt and plants, Oh my!

Tes was quite upset that she'd been so busy catching up on end of year schoolwork that she'd missed the entire month of planting pollinator attracting plants. She felt like she'd gone into hibernation in the common room and come out to all the grounds being full of beautiful seedlings to admire and gawk at. Just because she'd missed the initial planting, didn't mean she couldn't help though, so here she was.
Knees covered in dirt from where she'd been kneeling on the ground in her shorts, scuffed work boots caked in mud, and light jacket tied around her waist to expose her tank top and wrist bandana. It was a remarkably nice day, and she'd already gotten a head start on pulling some of the weeds and grass that had been encroaching on the new plants, but she found herself at an impasse.
She needed the plants watered and the weeds disposed of, but she didn't trust her meager magical abilities to not destroy whatever her wand pointed at, and if she had to do it all by hand without even a levitation spell, she'd be running water up and down a hill all day. It wasn't far from here to the lake, easy enough to cast a simple leviosa and float her bucket and watering can back and forth, but even that had a chance of wobbling and dumping everything out before it could get back to her.
All she needed was a victim... one that wasn't in too much of a rush. Maybe someone walking back from an extra-curricular activity, enjoying the beautiful weather, or just the closest innocent person within eyesight. The last choice ended up being the one she caught on, as she spotted a boy who looked to be about her age walking back towards the castle a short way away from her. Gathering up her bucket, with only a smudge of mud on the bottom, she sprinted up the slight incline, quickly shoving it into his hands before he could protest.
"Hey! I need someone to help me water all these new sprouts before they die. If I use my wand for any of it, I'll probably explode my bucket, so I was hoping you'd be willing to do it for me? It shouldn't be too hard to float some water back and forth for a few minutes, right?" she asked eagerly, gesturing behind her at the patch of beautiful plants, and the lake beyond that.
