Those were the only three words that rushed through Lyra's mind. She continued to gaze at the professor and her mouth had dropped open in a comical "o" and she quickly closed her mouth. This was good right? That she could help Evan. Or was this another way of saying leave the classroom? Lyra didn't know nor cared. The fact that her best friend was ill was the only thing on her mind and she nodded her head in agreement. "Yes Sir, i will and thanks" she said and quickly turned around and walked calmly out of the classroom. Seeee manners! yay for her. But the moment she had opened the door she ran through the corridor, hoping to catch up with Evan.
On a piece of parchment, the Professor made sure to mark for Miss Riddle's points. He was glad that she made that so easy. Giving her those points back was going to be a pleasure now.

Professor Kapoor watched as each team captain placed the flowers on the board. When they had finished, he approached for a closer look.
"
Alright, Miss Flores, lets have a look at what you and your team chose for 'true friend'." He readied his wand and flicked it at the pile of flowers floating a pink rose. "
Very good. The answer was indeed, a pink rose. Your team also did very well in chosing sakura. The blossoms from the cherry tree to represent 'kindness'." He said, likewise floating a sakura blossom from the pile of flowers to demonstrate with visuals. "
I'm afraid, though, that 'never forget' is a bit off. Zinnias or bluebells were two possible answers. So I'm afraid I can't give full credit, but your team did earn 10 points for both Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Good job for the Slytherin-Hufflepuff team!" Ten out of fifteen wasn't bad at all. He marked their points to magically place in the hourglasses later on a parchment, feeling that they should all be proud of their efforts.

He's quite nervous; he took out his wand nervously but he still have a little confidence and pride inside him.
His hearts pumped rapidly, It's like that it pumps 10 times or so every second. He stuck the flower Freesia, Carnation and he'd also stuck a Yellow Rose on the board. He wrote the word Childishness under the Freesia, the word Disappointment under the Carnation one and hesitantly, he wrote the word Unfavourable under the Yellow Rose. "I think I'm done Professor." he answered as he turned to their Professor and to his classmates, pretending to be confident and conceited.
"
Alright, Mr. Leone, lets see what you've got up on the board." The Professor turned and took a small step to gain better vantage of the Ravenclaw-Gryffindor teams selections. "
This is very good also. Freesia is exactly what I would've chosen for 'childishness', and carnation is spot on for 'disappointing'. 'Unfavourable' was really a very tricky one, because while it is a negative thing, it wasn't very specific. A yellow rose is a good choice, but an orange lily was what I was looking for, because the context of the sentence is meant to be one of overall dislike. Still, Ravenclaw-Gryffindor came out ahead. Congratulations, you've earned 13 points for each of your houses."
"
Well done, both of you team captains. You both did a great job helping today. As did you all. Hufflepuff, your combined efforts earned you 27 points, Ravenclaw, you did well at 31 points. Gryffindors, 39 and Slytherin, you were the top points earners for this lesson with 42 points. There's to be no homework for this lesson, just enjoy your weekend. Class dismissed." He called and hit the GONG one last time.
