**Jacob Cutter** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-07-2010, 10:04 AM

Work stations have been meticulously set up on the grass of the greenhouse, four stools standing at each shiny table. On the largest table, at the front of the class, several dozen carefully potted Venomous Tentaculas have been situated, the plants paralysed with a simple charm. Small, possibly unrecognisable pink blossoms appear to have taken root with the paralysed plants, their blossoms obviously out of place to any who have previously seen the tentaculas. The conjured chalkboard just beyond these, its wheels pressing into the ground, bears a few simple instructions.

Quote:

1. Do NOT touch the plants on the workstation.
2. Excessive chatter will not be tolerated; this may be a greenhouse, but it's also your classroom. Respect it.
3. Please double-check that you have your gloves with you; goggles are also suggested, though not required. As would be expected, please have your wand on hand as well.

Underneath these instructions, a name has been scrawled, though the handwriting of the signature is nearly illegible. Those who are more versed at deciphering chicken scratch might be able to read the substitute's name, Jacob Cutter, written there. A rather young man, his years not even numbering past 27, he can be found kneeling at the churned-up patch of dirt the tentaculas have been removed from, muttering in an anxious tone under his breath as his fingers brush through the dirt.

OOC: Please enter and take your seats; keep the chatter to a dull roar until class begins.

As the notice says, I will begin class at around 8PM GMT. Points will be taken for excessive chatter, so be mindful; Cutter is, after all, only a few yards away, and is paying attention. This class will run for a few days, so everyone will have a chance to take part. I'm opening this thread before I go offline so you might all have a chance to arrive and take a seat, please do not make me come back to 4+ pages of chatter and regret it!

Bella walked into the room, and looked around. She liked seeing all the plants when she came, and wondering which one's they were going to us today. Bit of a mystry!

She smiled at she looked round for a spot to stand, finding one she moved over to it.

"Hello Professor" She called, smiling.

She looked round again,

My, My Im the first one here!

Something she had never heard of before!

Ivy Nienna · 03-07-2010, 10:50 AM

Ivory slowly walked into the greenhouse, her avid eyes taking in as many details as she could.

Lately she'd been quite on edge and for some reason couldn't shrug it off.

Shaking her head at herself as she found a seat, she reprimanded herself.

'It's just stress, Ivory get over it. Relax, this is herbology. You love plants...come on.'

Glancing up she read the written notice on the chalkboard.

No bunbunz?! BUt....but...

Resisting a pout, she tugged on her gloves and checked the top of her head for her goggles.

Yup check. Wand....Reaching beneath her robes, she fingered it's holster. Check.

Squinting her eyes, she wondered if she was reading right. There seemed to be an awkward scrawl under the notice, but she wasn't exactly sure if she was reading it right. Yacid Cattar?

What a weird name? Turning to focus her gaze on the plants that had been placed front and center, her face turned to one of curiousity. If she was remembering correctly, those had the characteristics of Venomous Tentaculas but hmm what kind of breed was it to have pink blossoms.

Thinking back to the Professor's fondness of pink, she shrugged her shoulders. Spotting the substitute's head not to far away seeming very engrossed in what he was doing she vowed to great him later and propped open her book to try to cram a few last minute details.

Lorelai skipped in and proceeded to wave at the red headed professor. WHO WASN'T THERE. Oh god. Oh god. Oh gawwwwd. Frowning as she took her seat, Lori decided she wanted Bunbury back, just so she could admire her shoes. Her pretttty shoes.

krazypenguin · 03-07-2010, 05:04 PM

Dani walked in slowly and sat down. A cheerful smile spread out on her face. Ahhh plants.. Pulling out her gloves and goggles, she placed her bag in a pile of dirt. Nature was beautiful. Noticing the appearance of a man she didn't know and an utter lack of Bunbunz, she assumed he was teaching them today. "Hello." She waved at him happilly. He didn't look very cheery.

With ~~charming~~ smile fixed in place and his curly mop of hair tamed and parted at the side, Oliver wandered happily into the Herbology classroom but.. the smile faltered, then faded completely. Who was that? And where was Bunz?

Petulant face.

He looked around and spotted Shoe Girl and wandered over to sit next to her, looking about as happy as he did the time she decided to beat him up. “Shoe Girl.” He nodded at her in greeting, then proceeded to get the bits and pieces out of his bag for the lesson.

He ran his hand through his hair, thus messing it up to it's usual way and glanced over at the man at the front kneeling and muttering to himself. Weird. “Sir? Where is Bunz”-oops! “I mean.. Professor Bunbury?”

The1HBIC · 03-07-2010, 05:23 PM

Marie skipped down to the greenhouse ready for another class. She giggled a little as she remembered how funny her little prank was that she pulled on Destiny and Evelyn. Maybe she would be able to get them again today.

As she enters the greenhouse she notices that there is a strange man there and no Bunz. "Hello Sir, where is Professor Bunbury today?" she asks as she glances up at the chalkboard.

She then sees the tentacula plants on the table. 'Oh noooo' she thinks. She remembers having to deal with those crazy things in the last potions class, now she has to mess with them again.

Finding an empty table at the back she takes a seat and makes sure she has everything she needs. Gloves, check, goggles, check, wand, of course, she would never be caught without her wand. She then takes out a journal and a quill. All ready for class to begin she looks around waiting to see Evan, Destiny, and Evelyn. Hopefully they get to class soon.

Luna Laufghudd · 03-07-2010, 05:27 PM

Miranda was very much dreading this class... Bunbury was a scary woman, but the Huffie couldn't just skip it because of the Wicked Witch of the ... where was Bunbury from again? Eh.

Nevermind.
The Captain walked inside the greenhouse, looking around for any sign of the teacher...but the only thing she saw was the eerie the plats were... acting quite like muggle plants.

She walked over to take a seat and noticed a man kneeling down, poking his fingers into the dirt. Eh!? Well, better stay away from him. No doubt Bunbury will go all freakazoid when she sees him messing about with her plants.

Taking a seat, Miranda proceeded to take out her good ol' notebook and muggle pen.

No Professor Bunbury?

But OHHAIII, BESTFRIEND!

Gold waved to Lori Louu, as she stepped into the greenhouse. It was good to see Lori Louu, again.

It always was.

Ladybug · 03-07-2010, 05:47 PM

Bella looked up and noticed Gold walk in, she remembered her from Potions. She smiled lightly

"Hey Gold" She said quitely, smiling.

Sneakeh Cat · 03-07-2010, 05:54 PM

Reese walked into the greenhouse to see the new ~~kinda cute~~ substitute kneeling down near some dirt, muttering to himself? That most definitely looked like what he was doing. She gave him a little smile, and then she headed over to one of the workstations to get seated.

Once she sat down, she glanced up at the board to read the instructions, and then she checked in her bag to make sure she had remember to bring all her materials that they had been asked to bring. The only thing she didn't have was her badge! Gah, she wanted it back so badly!

She didn't really need to strain her eyes to read the name that was scribbled underneath the instructions, because she remember his name was 'Cutter' from the notice in the common room. Mr. Cutter.

Looking up as someone decided to sit beside her, Lori nodded. "Ohai... Curls." Teehee. She was NOT going to call him anything else, and he was totally lucky that she had flats on today, and she didn't have a bag to thwack him with. Just her books; which could hurt if used. But he was lucky.

Considering she now had one shoe, without a pair, and had had a sore head for a while. But then again, she HAD beat him with a shoe. Which he had~~n't~~ deserved.

Looking over at the man that was subbing Bunbury, Lori nodded as Curls asked a question. Yeah, she wanted to know that aswell.

DH Vixen · 03-07-2010, 06:22 PM

Mina walked into the greenhouse and looked around. No Professor Bunbury? That was odd, but she had heard there was yet another substitute leading the lesson. Where had all their professors gone?

Finding a spot near the front, Mina pulled out her gloves, goggles, journal and quill. Setting them before her on the workstation, she noticed the Venomous Tentaculas in the front. Strange, she thought as she tilted her head slightly. Hadn't she just worked with the venom of one of those in potions?

Shaking her head of the thought, she sat quietly and waited to see if any of her friends would show up. It was still a bit early and all.

**Jacob Cutter** · 03-07-2010, 06:35 PM

This was not good. Not good at all. Cutter frowned some more at the dirt patch, his muttering catching in his throat for a bit and going silent. A few had already gone... the microscopic seeds were everywhere. The class was definitely going to sort this out as well.

The man wasn't so distracted that he didn't notice students trickling in, and he gave a nod as a greeting to those who had addressed him or come near. Several had asked about the Professor who actually belonged here, and Cutter shrugged in response, even as he grinned at one boy and his slip-up in the Professor's name. Bunz?

"I can't say I know. It's not really my business; I was merely asked to be a substitute, and here I am." Brown eyes surveyed the classroom from his squatted position, and he nodded. "I'll give the stragglers a few more minutes, and then we'll begin."

With that Cutter went back to filtering through the dirt with his fingers.

Eyes closed briefly and a irritated sigh escaped Oliver's lips. Curls. Urgh.

He tried to give Lori a cocky smile but it wasn't forthcoming right now. ~~The lack of Bunz was too disappointing.~~

He looked towards the professor once again. He didn't know. Ah maan. This lesson was going to suck. And why had he chosen to sit near Shoe Girl? To give her the benefit of the doubt? Probably – he was sure she was just having a bad day when she decided to thwack him with her shoes. Pout. He wished she would stop with the 'Curls' mind you.

Lissy Longbottom · 03-07-2010, 06:50 PM

Jack tried not to frown as he entered the classroom and spotted a strange new professor up at the front. First no Shackleton, now no Bunbury?! What was going on?! Was someone snatching up the professors now tooooooo? This was horrible!

"Hello sir," Jack said, sitting up near the front. Despite the fact that this dude was new to him, he still wanted to be able to help him if he needed it. It was becoming embedded in his brain to be avaliable for anything the professors needed, cause of his badge and all--what would he do once he was out of here?

LilFox06 · 03-07-2010, 06:54 PM

Carter walked into the classroom. "Hello Professor Bu..." he began. He then noticed it wasn't Professor Bunbury. "Sir..." he said finishing his sentence. He then went to join Mina. There were Venomous Tentaculas on the table. That did not look like fun. He read the board and got his goggles and gloves out and readied himself for the start of the lesson.

PatInTheHat · 03-07-2010, 08:17 PM

Arya skipped into the class ready to get her hands dirty. As she made her way over to Ivory she looked around for the red headed professor wondering where she was. Instead all she saw was a man upfront playing with his fingers. Taking a seat beside her friend she ran through all the possibilities as to why the professor was absent.

LadyNerd · 03-07-2010, 08:22 PM

Fia walked into class and noticed there was someone new. WHY ALL THE NEWNESS? Gah! She now had a new step sister, she had a new life, a new father. One thing that wasn't new and was old and familiar to her, Miles. Thank goodness. She walked into class, hugging her books to her chest, her head kept down until she found her way to a seat and took it.

**Jacob Cutter** · 03-07-2010, 08:34 PM

Casting a quick charm to clear the dirt off his hands, Cutter stood and moved to the table in front of the class. The students were as ready as they were going to get, he assumed. Clearing his throat, he again flicked his wand, and the blank cards that had been on the table behind a particularly large and violent-looking tentacula flew into the air, five settling on each workstation.

"Afternoon kids. My name is Jacob Cutter, and I'll be your Herbology Professor for the foreseeable future. This is my first time teaching a class like this, so if you'd go easy on me that would be appreciated." He gestured towards the cards that had distributed themselves. "If you'd please write your name, house and year on those, and make sure to have them in view at all times? It'll help me learn who is who. If you're a prefect, or one of the Head persons, please also indicate that on your card. Are there any questions before we get to the actual classwork?"

ooc: Forgive my tardiness, my computer froze up just as I was about to begin.

Carter took the card in front of him. He wrote down the information he was asked to.

Ack! The man is speaking! Miranda stared at the man as he explained who he was and that miss Scary was not...here at the moment. Aw, and he was new to teaching?

She jumped slightly as the cards flew around and landed on the desks. Righty-o. Miranda scribbled her...info and put the card in, what she believed was, a viewable place.

Quote:

Miranda BelCanto

Quidditch Captain

She may not be a prefect, but she was proud of being a Captain and would toterly put it on her card! Snort.

Questions... hm hm hmHM. she put her hand up, "Sir, what other classes have you taught?" This was simple curiosity, maybe the dude was like a Professors in Quantum Physics or something. "If you don't mind my asking..." Errr.

PatInTheHat · 03-07-2010, 08:44 PM

Arya smiled, she liked this man, he seemed friendly. Though it didn't distract her from the missing Bunbury. Taking out a piece of parchement she wrote her information on it before carefully folding it and proping on the table.

Quote:

Arya Grace Lovegoods

Looking back to the man she raised her hand. "Professor Cutter, why isn't Professor Bunbury teaching class?

harrypottterbroadway · 03-07-2010, 08:44 PM

Keeley slipped into the greenhouse just before some dude started talking. Where was the Professor? Hopefully nothing bad had happened to her. Sure, that woman was scary, but she really didn't wish anyone harm. Why was her mind intent on pondering those rumors? She couldn't concentrate in classes, and all she seemed to be drawing were figures whose faces were hidden in shadow. It sucked. She hadn't really been paying attention to where she sat, and was mildly surprised to see herself sitting by Carter and Mina. Well, that was good. At least no Slytherins. She then busied herself with artistically writing her signature (Keeley Smith) above a large eagle, with Ravenclaw 2nd year neatly written in the corner.

Lissy Longbottom · 03-07-2010, 08:45 PM

Jack took a card as they floated along, handing themselves out to people, and began to scribbled his information down. Once he had finished, he propped it up on top of his books so the new guy could see it easily. He just hoped he could read his atrocious handwriting!
