He boarded the sihp, glancing at the tanks. Hmm. Weird. "Hello Professor..." Finlay nodded, as he glanced to the back of the class, staring ~~longingly~~ at Jimmy for a few seconds. He really did miss him so much. Marie was there too, but he deicded to ignore her. He sat down on his own, on the third row back, and filled the little card out.

And so the headboy decided to make an appearence. Oh Seren was pleased.
"Morning Master Carmichael", she greeted nodding in his direction.

He didn't have a lot to say about Herbology but that would probably change, with the new professor and all. Dun, dun, dunnn.

"Good day professor..." he took a sneak peek at the board where her name was written "Bentley." he finished with a sheepish grin before he plopped down and took a seat. Oh a card, pretty! With his pen he started filling it out, trying not to doodle on it too much.

Hhhmm were the students really that cold? Seren cocked her head to the sky, she supposed it was a bit ... fresh.
"Morning", she greeted. Hopefully once the lesson started and tey got onto the activity they'd warm up a bit.

Sneaking up behind James he grabbed his best friend and laughed, "Hey bud!" He turned to Sal and gave him a slap on the back. "Hey!" He sat down behind his best friend only so he could throw stuff at him, and looked down at the card on the desk.

As soon as he finished that he looked at Lexi and frowned, "You look how I feel today? Are you okay?" Yeah he thought he was going to lose his breakfast earlier but hadn't and ended up eating more.

Well that was rude... not greeting her or acknowledging her presence.
"Good morning", she said to the student nonetheless.

She spotted James and she gave him a wink, feeling all sorts of special because he was wearing the scarf she had made him. And then there was Sal. So not sitting there.

There was Marie sitting on her own. And then there was Finn sitting on his own. Um...who should she sit with?

Sweet Merlin!

Her friends certainly made it hard for her when they weren't talking to each other. Mia decided to just sit on her own. She took out a quill and wrote on the place card.

"Morning dear", greeted Seren as a particularly bright and bubbly Hufflepuff came onboard. She seemed delightful. Enthusiasm... brilliant!

He was sure he would enjoy this class. He read the blackboard and took out a small notepad and a quill to write his name and such.

And the students just kept coming. Seren was thrilled!
"Morning", she greeted the young man.

She didn't like her either.

Ignoring the eerie blueish-green glowing tank things since she really didn't want to know right now, Evelyn glanced around to the seats available. Hmm, Stalker-Dude? No. Lexi? No. Finn? Probably not. Salander? Too close to Stalker-Dude. Ohhh but there was Mia and Marie who...were not sitting anywhere near eachother, darnit. But, Marie was sitting at the back and really, that was the best place to sit if you didn't like a professor. Walking to the back, she gave Mia a smile and slid into the seat next to Marie. Hmmm, name tags.

Another reason she didn't like the professor already.

Oohhh frosty reception from the Slytherin. Seren couldn't help but feel shunned.... "Good morning", she said cheerfully regardless of the students manners.

She tried to poke her face out of her scarf. It was really too big and long for her even, but it kept her warm; still, there was a possibility she could suffocate with it. She strode on board and saw Professor Bentley, busy about, but greeting the students who had come to class. As a polite gesture, like in all classes, she went to greet the professor, also to let them know of her presence.

"G-good day..Pro-" she pulled down her scarf so that her mouth wouldn't be covered; it was getting in the way of her speech anyways. "Good d-day professor Bentley..." she said, giving a smile, her cheeks a little pink realizing she still stuttered. She bowed her head and went to look for a seat.

When she did, she noticed the blackboard-and the tanks. Tanks? Did she even notice those when she got on the ship? She might have missed that, but they were clearly visible. Oh well, she read the message on the board and took her attendance card, obediently following the instructions.

after filling in the needed details, she sat still and quiet, anticipating the start of a seemingly interesting lesson.

"And a good morning to you", replied Seren smiling as the girl adjusted her scarf to speak.

Seren nodded polietly and offered the Slytherin girl a smile. "Morning"

MMmm it was good to see the students curiously starring at the tanks. Hopefully they would find its contents as exciting as she did. "Good morning dear".

Maybe the boat distracted her somehow.Anyway, after she read the instructions, she saw the attendence card on her table and started to fill it in.

Ahh another enthusiastic student. This was lovely. "And a good morning to you too", she replied with a controled level of enthusiasm.

Admittedly, she looked for Legend Chosen first, him being her ship buddy and all. Of course, he wasn't around. Of course. She didn't have to look for Jim to know he was there, and her eyes passed over Lexi and Sal. Lexi ....?

Ehh.... she hesitated then hurriedly went to sit behind Finny. He was with some other girl...? But that was okay. Neptune would supervise because Finny sometimes needed supervising. And she wanted him to see his flower. "Hi, you."

And she didn't want to make things weird by sitting with the other group. SO.

The poor Professor didn't get any love. Yet.

Oh how disappointing, no greeting?... manners seemed to be a weak point for some students. "Morning", greeted Seren in hopes of modelling appropriate behaviour. The girl did have a lovely flower in her hair.

His eyes went to the bulletin board, where something was written. Oh, he had fill something. He checked his table for the attendence card.

Rhys took his quill and started writing

Name: Rhys Williams
Year: Third
House: Gryffindor

Nodding as she greeted the students onto the main deck Seren smiled politely, "Good morning."

She made a quick turn and ran inside the greenhouse panting, "Good... good morning Professor Bentley."

Still heavily breathing she turned around and sat down beside Kurumi, "I need an alarm clock."

And this girl seemed to be a little out of breath... something about an alarm clock? Well yes that would help.
"Morning, glad you could make it."

Yet remembering the new professor at the feast Josh had decided to participate anyway for she had seemed to be a nice lady. Plus he could remember that she liked the white flower he had presented to her. And that was why now the boy had another single white flower in his hand while walking to the class territory on the ship.

The flower was oddly reminding him his...kinda broken heart so he paid extra attention to look away from it. And when he could see the professor, Josh stopped and greeted her with a kind of little forced smile. ''Good morning, professor.'' Of course the lack of warmth on the smile had nothing to do with the professor, it was only a reflection of the broken heart he tried to keep inside. Anyhow...after making sure that he managed that smile, the Gryffindor backed and placed the flower on the blackboard before looking around to choose where to sit.

No...there was no need to choose. He didn't want anyone to ask about the lack of his usual cheerful self anyway so taking a few steps forward the lion boy decided to occupy one of the desks at the the front row.

Ah a card....

"Morning Master Carter", replied Seren as she watched the boy enter their makeshift classroom. He looked a bit blue... such a shame, he seemed to be such a nice boy at the feast. Oh what was that? Another flower? That was trully lovely.
"Thank you for the flower Carter, it's lovely."

Taking a seat, she saw the Professor standing up beside the blackboard "Good Morning Professor Bently"

Then reading the instructions on the blackboard, looked down and saw the card..... taking out her quill and ink began writing..

"Good morning dear", replied Seren as she observed the student take a seat... she didn't look too good. Sea-sickness perhaps?

The Huffie prefect boarded the ship, letting her eyes roam about before picking one by the freaky looking fish tanks. Couldn't be worse than anything in the creature lessons, right? She didn't think so.

"Good morning, Professor." She tugged at her beanie as she dropped her belongings beside her seat, pulling out some parchment and quill once she was settled.

"And a good morning to you", replied Seren brightly. It was nice to see fresh curious eyes bright with excitement.

What were they going to do turn the ship into a greenhouse?

She wasn't in a good mood, after what happen in the courtyard yesterday with Carter had put her in a terrible mood. She had cried half the night before she finally went to sleep. That was why she was running late. She walked onto ship were the lesson was being held. She didn't even speak to the professor. That was a first. All she wanted to was slide into a seat at the back of the room...... or not. Marie was sitting in the back.

Great. Now where was she going to sit. She didn't even want to sit with her friends. Since her eyes were still puffy from crying, not even the make up could cover the puffyness. She went to the back of the room on the oppsite side that Marie sit on. She plopped into the seat, pulled out the a quill and notebook and wrote:

~~Slamming~~ Placing her quill down on the desk, and placing the card at the corner of her desk. *headdesk* She put her head head down on the desk. Blah

Hhhmm Seren observed as a girl hurried onto the ship- clearly not in a good mood, and clearly forgetting her manners.
"Morning", she said... a little bored of greeting students that didn't greet her back.

Name: Sierra Greingoth
Year: 2nd
House: Slytherin

She slid her name card...or attendance card...or whatever it was called to the front of her desk and then took the remaining few minutes before class to look around the ship. Tanks--hmm, plants, no doubt. This was Herbology after all, and at least they were likely learning something this time. Not like last year, when all they did was clean out the greenhouses. Hmm--Vindictus.

And another rude student... Slytherin... hhmm this was a trend by the looks of it. Perhaps she should have a word with Lafay...
Seren didn't even bother trying this time.

She knew.

Skipping her way on board, she spotted the Professor and gave the woman an enthusiastic salute. "Hello, Professor!" she greeted before glancing around for a seat. Meh. She saw Marie in the back, but she wasn't about to go and sit next to her. Not with Evelyn so close.

Shrugging to herself, she walked down a random row of desks and threw herself in the first empty seat she found. Oh, hello Prefect Raccoon Girl. Destiny bet she ate a good breakfast.. out of the trash.

Ahh this was more like it, an enthusiastic Slytherin, clearly enjoying being out of doors. "Morning dear", chimmed Seren grinning at the girl and her salute.

She walked in surprised to see how the ship had been transformed into a class. "Morning Proffessor!" she said smiling then started walking over to a seat near the middle. She sat down then noticed the tanks, which seemed to be covered with sheets. She also saw a blueish greenish glow coming from the tanks. Ness wondered what it could be. She took her form and wrote her details.

Nessie took out the rest of her stuff then waited for the lesson to begin.

"Good morning", replied Seren, pleased with how this girl ahd manners and greeted her... unlike some others..

Riley had woken up and headed all the way down to the Herbology greenhouses, ready for his first class of that subject, and was disappointed to see where it was going to be held. He trudged along the Grounds and boarded the ship, angrier than usual. He had met Professor Bently at the beginning of term and had thought she would have done better. She was back to neutral with him. Hopefully she had something to make up for the cold.

More peppermint tea would be nice!

He sat at a desk in the center of the 'room' where the rocking was less and quilled in his information on the attendace sheet and waited for the lesson to begin.

Ahhh... Riley?... no greeting? Seren was a little disheartened, the boy had seemed so pleasant that day they had met in her office. She shrugged it off, thinking it may have been something out of her control... perhaps he got up on the wrong side of bed.

And with that Seren took another look down at her pendant watch... seemed as though it was time to get the lesson started. Some students were getting a bit restless by the looks of it. Striding briskly to the centre of the front of the deck, Seren took a stand in front of one of the tanks, the light glowing around her.
"Good morning everybody,welcome to the first Herbology lesson of the term, I am so glad you could all make it."She gazed out at the sea of faces before her. Students... they were the future and here she was facilitating their learning. It was such a privelegde.
"First of all I should formally introduce myself, my name is Professor Seren Bentley and I will be your Herbology teacher for the term. I have a wealth of experience in the area of Herbology, having spent a great deal of my professional life out in the wilderness studying a variety of magical and mundane plants. I have to goals for this term... the first is to provide you all with exciting and interrsting learning experiences and secondly to inspire you and help you to reach for your goals." Whatever they may be.

"Before we get started I must stress one key rule to you all...." Seren paused, taking the time to make eye contact with a number of students.
"Safety... is first and foremost the most important thing you need to remember in this class. I trust you all brang your dragon hide gloves?... if not I have a few spares up the front."
And now on with the second most important part... the lesson.
Seren gestured around her at the ship they were on. "Now you're probably wondering why I've decided to hold the fist Herbology lesson on this ship.... and the reason for that is, its not every day we have this opportunity, and secondly it ties in quite neatly with out topic today."Gesturing at the sheet covered fish tanks behind her Seren moved onto the next feature of the lesson. The contents...
"Now what do you think we might be looking at today?" she asked. Though really it was pretty obvious.

OOC: The lesson has now started, please to not post arriving to class from this point onwards- just pretend as though you were here all along. Any late comers will lose house points. Also chatting will not be tollerated during the lesson- please treat your Professor with respect.

Plus he could remember that she liked the white flower he had presented to her. And that was why now the boy had another single white flower in his hand while walking to the class territory on the ship. The flower was oddly reminding him his...kinda broken heart so he paid extra attention to look away from it. And when he could see the professor, Josh stopped and greeted her with a kind of little forced smile. ''Good morning, professor.'' Of course the lack of warmth on the smile had nothing to do with the professor, it was only a reflection of the broken heart he tried to keep inside. Anyhow...after making sure that he managed that smile, the Gryffindor backed and placed the flower on the blackboard before looking around to choose where to sit. No...there was no need to choose. He didn't want anyone to ask about the lack of his usual cheerful self anyway so taking a few steps forward the lion boy decided to occupy one of the desks at the the front row. Ah a card.... "Morning Master Carter", replied Seren as she watched the boy enter their makeshift classroom. He looked a bit blue... such a shame, he seemed to be such a nice boy at the feast. Oh what was that? Another flower? That was trully lovely. "Thank you for the flower Carter, it's lovely."

Taking a seat, she saw the Professor standing up beside the blackboard "Good Morning Professor Bently" Then reading the instructions on the blackboard, looked down and saw the card..... taking out her quill and ink began writing.. "Good morning dear", replied Seren as she observed the student take a seat... she didn't look too good. Sea-sickness perhaps? Quote: Originally Posted by grangerfan8 A lesson on the SHIP.

The Huffie prefect boarded the ship, letting her eyes roam about before picking one by the freaky looking fish tanks. Couldn't be worse than anything in the creature lessons, right? She didn't think so. "Good morning, Professor." She tugged at her beanie as she dropped her belongings beside her seat, pulling out some parchment and quill once she was settled. "And a good morning to you", replied Seren brightly. It was nice to see fresh curious eyes bright with excitement.

Why she even bothered to come to class she hated herbology. Nor did she care to be around anyone at this moment. She even skipped breakfast this morning. Why the heck was herbology lessson being held on the ship anyway. What were they going to do turn the ship into a greenhouse? She wasn't in a good mood, after what happen in the courtyard yesterday with Carter had put her in a terrible mood. She had cried half the night before she finally went to sleep. That was why she was running late. She walked onto ship were the lesson was being held. She didn't even speak to the professor. That was a first. All she wanted to was slide into a seat at the back of the room...... or not. Marie was sitting in the back. Great. Now where was she going to sit. She didn't even want to sit with her friends. Since her eyes were still puffy from crying, not even the make up could cover the puffyness. She went to the back of the room on the oppsite side that Marie sit on. She plopped into the seat, pulled out the a quill and notebook and wrote: ~~Slamming~~ Placing her quill down on the desk, and placing the card at the corner of her desk. headdesk She put her head head down on the desk. Blah Hhhmm Seren observed as a girl hurried onto the ship- clearly not in a good mood, and clearly forgetting her manners. "Morning", she said... a little bored of greeting students that didn't greet her back.

She always sort of hated name cards. They seemed silly, and she always had to fight the urge to give a fake name just to give a new professor a hard time. She never did, of course, though. Name: Sierra Greingoth Year: 2nd House: Slytherin She slid her name card...or attendance card...or whatever it was called to the front of her desk and then took the remaining few minutes before class to look around the ship. Tanks--hmm, plants, no doubt. This was Herbology after all, and at least they were likely learning something this time. Not like last year, when all they did was clean out the greenhouses. Hmm--Vindictus. And another rude student... Slytherin... hhmm this was a trend by the looks of it. Perhaps she should have a word with Lafay... Seren didn't even bother trying this time.

It was just too bad they weren't asked to dress up, that would have made her trip to the ship that much more enjoyable. It probably would have made the trip longer, though. It was hard to walk with a peg leg on. She knew. Skipping her way on board, she spotted the Professor and gave the woman an enthusiastic salute. "Hello, Professor!" she greeted before glancing around for a seat. Meh. She saw Marie in the back, but she wasn't about to go and sit next to her. Not with Evelyn so close. Shrugging to herself, she walked down a random row of desks and threw herself in the first empty seat she found. Oh, hello Prefect Raccoon Girl. Destiny bet she ate a good breakfast.. out of the trash. Ahh this was more like it, an enthusiastic Slytherin, clearly enjoying being out of doors. "Morning dear", chimmed Seren grinning at the girl and her salute. Quote: Originally Posted by ortalismusicoh Nessie got really excited for her Herbology lesson, as it was going to be on the ship. So it was probably going to be interesting. She walked in surprised to see how the ship had been transformed into a class. "Morning Proffessor!" she said smiling then started walking over to a seat near the middle. She sat down then noticed the tanks, which seemed to be covered with sheets. She also saw a blueish greenish glow coming from the tanks. Ness wondered what it could be. She took her form and wrote her details. Nessie took out the rest of her stuff then waited for the lesson to begin. "Good morning", replied Seren, pleased with how this girl ahd manners and greeted her... unlike some others.. Quote: Originally Posted by DanialRadFAN01 What in Merlin's soggy socks could they be doing on the creepy boat for Herbology?! Riley had woken up and headed all the way down to the Herbology greenhouses, ready for his first class of that subject, and was disappointed to see where it was going to be held. He trudged along the Grounds and boarded the ship, angrier than usual. He had met Professor Bently at the beginning of term and had thought she would have done better. She was back to neutral with him. Hopefully she had something to make up for the cold. More peppermint tea would be nice! He sat at a desk in the center of the 'room' where the rocking was less and quilled in his information on the attendace sheet and waited for the lesson to begin. Ahhh... Riley?... no greeting? Seren was a little disheartened, the boy had seemed so pleasant that day they had met in her office. She shrugged it off, thinking it may have been something out of her control... perhaps he got up on the wrong side of bed. And with that Seren took another look down at her pendant watch... seemed as though it was time to get the lesson started. Some students were getting a bit restless by the looks of it. Striding briskly to the centre of the front of the deck, Seren took a stand in front of one of the tanks, the light glowing around her. "Good morning everybody,welcome to the first Herbology lesson of the term, I am so glad you could all make it."She gazed out at the sea of faces before her. Students... they were the future and here she was facilitating their learning. It was such a privelegde. "First of all I should formally introduce myself, my name is Professor Seren Bentley and I will be your Herbology teacher for the term. I have a wealth of experience in the area of Herbology, having spent a great deal of my professional life out in the wilderness studying a variety of magical and mundane plants. I have to goals for this term... the first is to provide you all with exciting and interrsting learning experiences and secondly to inspire you and help you to reach for your goals." Whatever they may be. "Before we get started I must stress one key rule to you all...." Seren paused, taking the time to make eye contact with a number of students. "Safety... is first and foremost the most important thing you need to remember in this class. I trust you all brang your dragon hide gloves?... if not I have a few spares up the front." And now on with the second most important part... the lesson. Seren gestured around her at the ship they were on. "Now you're probably wondering why I've decided to hold the fist Herbology lesson on this ship.... and the reason for that is, its not every day we have this opportunity, and secondly it ties in quite neatly with out topic today."Gesturing at the sheet covered fish tanks behind her Seren moved onto the next feature of the lesson. The contents... "Now what do you think we might be looking at today?" she asked. Though really it was pretty obvious. OOC: The lesson has now started, please to not post arriving to class from this point onwards- just pretend as though you were here all along. Any late comers will lose house points. Also chatting will not be tollerated during the lesson- please treat your Professor with respect. __________________ Last edited by Hera; 05-26-2011 at 02:40 PM. Reason: added more ppl :)
