"Like I said, we grew quite a lot of them over the summer and they don't get on with some of the other plants... we don't have enough room in the greenhouse to keep them all..." She grinned, "Don't let the fluffy one at it, he might get a sore nose." The Fluffy was still there in the corner of her eye, Salvatore seemed to know and was shivering a little under her hair. She made a mental note to go and put him in the fire when she got back to the common room... he'd like that.
"Well in that case, thank you dear, I'll treaure it dearly." And that she would. If she didn't then what sort of herbologist would she be? She chuckled lightly and gave Caltex a look.
"Oh he'll be fine I'm sure," she said turning to glance at her potted fanged geraniums by the door. It didn't take him long to realise that there were some plants her wasn't allowed to rub up against. But they were fine now and co-existed with one another.

Yay the professor liked Cricket! Beaming too, Tori nodded. "You're welcome. I tried charming it to make it change colors, but um... it got stuck on green." Well not that that was so bad, anyway, since it was green to begin with. Tori made a mental note to ask the Charms professor about that spell though. Maybe she had been doing it wrong.
"Oh, I think I forgot to say my name!" Tori laughed. She'd just been so excited when she had entered here. "I'm Victoria Bunbury, but please call me Tori." Heh. This was Professor Bentley, right? Tori figured she would sound stupid if she asked her that, so she just remained quiet while the professor outlined the list of jobs that needed doing. "Well I can do that!" she stated enthusiastically. "My cousin Annie, who used to be the Herbology professor here, let me help her prune and trim her flutterby bushes all the time. I just love those plants, don't you?!"
They weren't her favorites though. That would be puffapods.
The girl had a point, being his slave really wasn't all that bad. At least you got cuddles in return.
Seren was slightly amused at the fact that the girl had tired to charm Cricket to change colours. But really as lovely as that would have been, green was a good colour for a plant.
"I'm quite fond of green, so thats no trouble," she said with a light laugh, considering perhaps that it might have been a different shade of green originally?
"Well it's a pleasure to meet your aquiantence Tori, I look forward to having you in my class. We need more enthusiastic students, it keeps things fresh and bright." And Tori was most definitely that. Which was nice, she could certainly get used to it. Ohh her cousin taught here? ...
"How long ago did she teach here? If you don't mind me asking."
And of course it was brilliant that she was willing to help. The flutterby bushes from last term would certainly appreciate some attention, many of the students had neglected caring for them now. Over the hype of having their own plant under thier care.
"I do indeed, we have a fair few of them which need attending to in greenhouse three if you're interested." SPOILER!!: Alyssa

To be honest, I was worried at first that being a 2nd year transfer, that I would have trouble making friends but I'm glad to say that everyone has been really friendly and nice and I've already made lots of friends, both in my House and the other Houses." she told the Professor who was looking kindly down at her.
"Professor, I hope you don't mind me asking but is that peppermint tea I smell? I just noticed the wonderful smells in this room and I've been trying to figure out some of them. My mom always has some tea brewing in the kitchen and she has flowers growing in our kitchen and all over the house and I particularly love the smell of Jasmine. Plumeria and Lavender. My favorite tea is Blackcurrent. Have you tried that before?" Alyssa asked the Professor, hoping that she wasn't being too nosey.
Then she remembered that she had put some extra tea bags in her mokeskin bag. "In fact, I brought some with me, Professor. Would you like to try some?" Alyssa brought them out of her bag and offered it to the Professor.
It was good to know Alyssa wasn't having any difficulty settling in, otherwise she may just have to give a few students detention if they were giving her grief.
"Oh thats good to hear, having friends from different houses can be refreshing and rewarding experience, especially when it comes to quidditch. There's nothing better than a little competition." And it didn't matter if you played it or just observed it, the games were always fun. More so if your team was winning of course.
Peppermint? Seren sniffed the air, not that it made much difference, she was probably used to the aroma, built up a tollerance for it.
"I suppose it must be," she mused,
"Peppermint is my favourite, so I drink it fairly regularly... though I do like to mix it up occasionally."
Blackcurrent tea, well now that brought back memories.
"I have actually, my grandmother used to drink it when I was little. I didn't like it at the time but since then I've grown to like all tea's."
Alyssa had some with her? well now that was rather resourceful. Getting up, Seren went to fetch her teapot from the small table stand in the corner.
"Well I think thats a lovely idea, thank you."
The enchanted teapot set about filling itself with water and boiling itself, soon the aromatics filled the room. No doubt the room smelt more like blackcurrent now than peppermint.

"I just wanted to say hi and I wanted to meet you and get to know what Herbology is going to be like." Emma looked around quickly and was amazing by Professor Bentley's office. "I love your office!" she said softly.
It never ceased to amazer her at how nervous first years got. It was quite charming. But really! she didn't have three heads or anything. So therefore there was no need to be nervous... or was there?
"Delighted to meet you Emma," she had good manners, that was a good start. And it was nice to hear she approved of the decour.
"Thank you." The girls seemed to like it... the boys, not so much. Must be the pink, she concluded.
"Well.. herbology, I hope, will be fun and informative. If it's not then I'm obviously doing something wrong." Seren laughed lightly.
"No but really, herbology is one of those subjects you either like or you don't and as long as you don't mind getting a little dirty occasionally then it should be an enjoyable experience."
