Lex skipped over to greenhouse seven and noticed the warmth instantly. It was an interesting contrast to the outside. Know what else she noticed? She was the first one there. GRIN. Definitely meant she couldn't have been late this time. Looking around she spotted her Head of House seated and waiting, most likely. "Hello Professor!!!" BEAM. She hoped she didn't mind but she took a stool at the far end somewhere next to her.
"And hello Professor's baby!" She said, grinning at the inflated stomach. Personally she couldn't stand babies but they were adorable once they weren't related to her.
"How have you two been?" Lex asked now smiling up at the Professor again. Class hadn't started yet so technically this talking stuff was allowed. Oh hey, maybe it was three??? Could've been twins, you never know. Finalllyy! People were arriving, she was starting to think she'd lost her marbles.. posted the wrong notice, or forgotten to post the notice at all. It was a relief to know she didn't have baby brain just yet... "Good day Alexa," she greeted warmly. The Gryffindor was the first here? Well, that was something.
She smiled as her belly received a greeting too. It was getting squished in there, she could feel the poking and prodding and epic kicking from time to time. "We've been well, and how about yourself? Been keeping out of trouble?" she asked with a wink. Quote:

Immediately taking his coat off as he came in he smiled brightly at Professor Bentley. "Good day, Professor." And with a quick glance at her belly he made his way to a seat and pulled his gloves off next. Mhm. He was digging this tropical weather vibe. Yeaaaah buddy. "Garrick, good to see you again," Seren greeted the Ravenclaw. The lads enthusiasm toward dirt was certainly appreciated, and this lesson was surely going to be up his alley. Quote:

The blonde made note of the warmth first and a broad smile played on her lips immediately. She loved the snow and cold well enough but preferred to work somewhere warm. "Hello Professor Bentley!" She greeted cheerfully, taking in the belly but not letting her eyes linger there for more than a second. It wasn't nice to stare, y'know. Next she gave a small smile to Lex and the other dude she didn't know and settled down in her seat, eyes on the pots. "Hello dear," Seren greeted with a bright gin. Ella's cheerful demeanor only added to her good mood. Quote:

Chilly weather was definitely there and she was not about to be caught outdoors without her wool socks. She hated being too cold. Things that you were prepared for like making snowmen or walking to Hogsmeade were fine, because then you usually bundled up so that you were intentionally not too cold. But being colder than you could help avoiding? No thanks. Lucky for her though, the greenhouse was nice and balmy.
"Hello Professor Bentley!" It was only when she'd gotten closer that she noticed the woman's stomach. Has she been pregnant this whole time? Like, all year? She tried not to stare, but couldn't help from looking again. Well obviously she would have had to have been pregnant all year to be this big by now. How didn't I notice before? Unless.... She crossed the room to grab a spot at a workspace near Lex, still thinking. Unless she's not pregnant? Did a plant sting her in the belly or something? She'd wait for more evidence in either direction before making any more assumptions. Seren smiled as the next student arrived. "Hello Aliza, I trust you've been well?" she asked as the girl took a seat near Alexa. Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga Minerva made her way to the greenhouse, it was so cold, but when she walked through the doors she couldn't believe how warm it was in there. The next thing she noticed was Bentley and she smiled, "Hello professor, how have you been feeling?" She didn't know much about babies and pregnancies, but she had remembered someone saying once that they sometimes didn't feel well. So she figured it might be something to ask.
Finding her place at a work station and saying hello to Ella and Alexa, Minerva looked at the pots, oh there were cute yellow ones...nice.. Then she looked at the board. Oh selling preparation like the eggs. Oh wait did they talk about this the first lesson, Minerva was thinking they did, but at the same time wasn't completely sure. "Minerva, it's good to see you again," she greeted warmly as the Hufflepuff joined their ranks. "I've been......" what was the word? good in some ways, not so good in others? ... "coping," she nodded. Food was definitely an issue for the most part. Quote:

"Good day, Professor," he greeted her cheerfully as he approached, his eyes lingering just for a moment on her swollen belly. Oh.. was she expecting? Apparently he had missed that piece of information. He gave her a warm smile and turned towards his normal workstation.
He gave a little wave to Eliza as he spotted her, then headed over to sit by Minerva. "Hello," he gave he a bright smile before turning his eyes on the colorful pots, then up at the board. Selling plants..? "Hello Ethan," Seren greeted the Ravenclaw Prefect, that boy had a good head on his shoulders, it was no wonder he made Prefect. Quote:

"Oh, hello there, Professor,'' he said as he saw Professor Bentley perched awkwardly on her seat. "And hi there, Professor Bentley's kid.'' He used to talk to him mother's belly when she was expecting his sister.
As he went for a workstation, he took notice of the coloured pots. As the Puffer sat, he noticed the writing on the board. Oh selling. Like their Ashwinder eggs? Whoa? Yeah... she supposed it was somewhat of a shock considering the conditions outside. Still, Seren couldn't help but smile to herself. Success. "Hello Jory," she returned the greeting with a nod.
Kid? ............ Seren turned her attention to the bump, then back to Jory. She'd never considered it as being a 'kid' just yet, but it was nice thought. "It says hello," she added with a wink. Quote:

Daichi shivered when he opened the greenhouse door and stepped inside. He noticed that he wasn't the first despite having walked a little earlier to class in order to get on time but that didn't matter. What mattered was that it was warmer in here and the Slytherin unwrapped his green/silver scarf from his neck and folded it in his school bag.
"Hello Professor~" woah...what on earth had she been eating? O___o
Wait...female, big stomach...GAAASP why hadn't he seen it before that she was Pregnant?! "ehm...Congrats?" he asked because he wasn't sure anymore if she WAS pregnant or just ate too much... heh. Seren was..... shocked, and highly amused.
Merlin. Had the boy not noticed the whole year? It wasn't exactly something you could miss. A slowly inflating Professor. "Thank you Daichi," she replied, stiffling a giggle at his reaction. She would have to tell Aron about this one. Quote:
Originally Posted by ForeverYours BRRR. Did anyone else feel that? Yes, it was the Christmasy-chill-in-the-air feel. That was the short name for it. Bliss wrapped her coat tight and snug around herself, before making her way up to the Greenhouses, where it would hopefully be warm. Even if it wasn't, well, she had her coat and this lesson was going to be FUN, right?
The fourth year edged her way into the Greenhouse and beamed. WAMRTH. C'mere warm air. She sighed happily and then snapped back to semi-normality. There were other people in here, this was public. Be normal, Bliss, the voice inside her told her. AHEM. Wow, it was so warm that ... yeah, time to take her coat over.
Much better.
Before a queue formed behind her, Bliss headed towards a seat, but not before greeting Professor Bentley. "Hello, Professor. I hope you're keeping well," she said and flashed a beam at her and glanced down at the woman's tummy which was increasing in size. Awww, ickle baby. Anyway, she wasted no more time and headed to a workstation.
Ready, set .. "Hello dear," Seren greeted the Hufflepuff, "I've been ..." hesitating, she considered her choice of words, but then opted for the generic, "well. And yoruself?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Enigma Shiver. It was so cold.. Not too cold actually, just too chilly. The same anyways! With her books and rolls of parchment in her hand and other stuffs in the bag slung over her shoulder, Ira made her way to the greenhouse, pulling her robe tighter.
And entering the greenhouse, she felt warm instantly. Smiling a little, she greeted Professor Bentley, "Hello Professor Bentley!" she said cheerfully, and added, "Hope you're doing great." Well, it did seem like Bentley was managing the whole.. thing, so nicely. Which was awesome. But wasn't the baby bump growing big too fast? Or was it just her mind? It hadn't been this big last month.
Duh.. it was last month. Obviously it would have grown bigger. Shaking her head at herself, she smiled at Professor and went ahead.
And, then she looked around for a place, and noticed the others. How had the others come in so early? Seemed like she wasn't the only one who had taken the trouble to be on time. Oh.. why couldn't she be the first to enter?
Going to a workstation, she set up her things, and then waited for the class to start. Herbology Plant Sale Preparation? Um.. okay.. "Hello Ira," Seren greeted her trusty Prefect. "I am indeed," she added. Ok, so she wasn't quite great, but good enough most of the time. "How've you been?" she asked. She'd suspected since the whole... financial crisis saga, that Prefecting had become a bit more of a chore than previous years. Though, that being said, Ira was very capable of handling just about any challenge. Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin "Professor Bentley," Mo nodded politely at the professor as he entered the room, although he soon did a complete turn around the work station and came back to eye the professor for real this time. She had gotten very fat.
"Congratulations, Professor. I hope it's a boy, for your sake. Girls are impossible creatures." And then he headed back to find a seat. After a quick inspection of the time, Seren peered up to see Mo enter the greenhouse. "Hello dear," she returned the greeting.
The boys next comments brought a grin to her face. A boy? For her sake? ... "I know exactly what you mean," she replied, knowing full well what a terror she had been in her youth, "I'll keep my fingers crossed." Quote:
Originally Posted by Danielle_Daughn Mack shivered as she entered the classroom, the cold had finally set in and she was not a fan, but that feeling went away as soon as she stepped inside of the greenhouse. ahh warmth the welcomed feeling brought a smile to her face.
Upon entering she found Professor Bentley on a stool, woah she was showing! Professor Bentley was probably one of her favorite's, not to mention she was the Gryffindor Head of House. "hello Professor" the blonde grinned "Have you found out what you are having yet?" She wouldn't lie, Mack loved babies, and the thought of possibly having one around the castle made her smile beam even more so. "oh hello there future Gryffindor, you're going to be the cutest thing aren't you?" thinking to herself she made her way to where the Gryffindor coloured pots were no sense in pretending she didn't know where to go. It was obvious.
Once she read the blackboard the reason for the pots became clear. sigh more things for the financial troubles of Hogwarts. She really did want to help, but how to approach the headmistress without her blowing up at her. hmmm "Hello Mackenzie," Seren greeted the young Lion. She couldn't help but let out a light laugh. "Oh no... we're keeping it a surprise for now, I'm not quite sure I want to know." It felt natural to have to wait.
After another quick inspection of her pendant watch, Seren managed - rather awkwardly to hop off her stool. It would be much easier to stand for the duration of the lesson, stools were not pregnancy friendly. "Right! Good day everyone!" she announced, clapping her hands together once out of enthusiasm. "Today we will be completing out preparations for the Hogsmeade Plant Sale..." because one way, or another, they were going to have to get money from somewhere, and this activity tied in so well with the curriculum. "Now today we will be planting a variety of seeds and bulbs... and because we will be cultivating them in here," she gestured to their surroundings, "the atmosphere will support germination and will allow us to grow these plants out of season." Along with the aid of some Mooncalf Solution of course. "The first plant we're going to work with... are the Umbrella Flowers from last lesson," she started, casting a quick glance to the tray of seeds balancing on the empty raised flowerbed behind her. "So first thing's first... safety!" she announced. "Everybody gloves out and put them on please... goggles too if you have them." Not that the goggles were entirely necessary. Personally she thought they were more of a distraction than anything else. OOC: The lesson will continue in approx 7-8 hours. (:
