"I travelled mostly for research, I went on a number of herbological expeditions through the Amazon, which is where I spent most of my time, but I also did some research in the Swiss Alps, in Australia and in Wales... it was all just so amazing. If I had to pick a favourite though..." Seren mused for a minute thinking, remembering her fondest memories, "I'd say probably the Amazon, though Australia was quite spectacular as well."
Seren laughed lightly, leaning back in her seat and glancing out the window briefly. A troublemaker. They were always such fun.
"Well I'm sure you have a good head on your shoulders, but don't be afraid to be yourself and let loose a little. Points aren't everything." And if thats what she'd been told then the person that told her needed to be hit over the head. School was for learning and for fun.. not for walking on egg shells and making sure you didn't lose points.
Peering at Zhenya's potion recipe, Seren noted the ingredients. She'd seen it before... in fact, she probably had it in one of the many books that filled her shelves. "Thank you dear, I'm sure I'll get around to it someday, there's still a lot I want to acheive before I get too involved in cross-pollination."
But she made a mental note to do a little more reading about it later that night.
Zhenya took what Professor Bentley had said and noted to herself that she would remember it.
Points aren't everything. Really? She thought she could have been more outgoing in class without worrying about points.

Thank you very much Professor, you speak good advice! Your adventures sound so amazing. The Swiss Alps? I once went on a holiday there, we took a train around the mountains. It was a Magic-Free holiday. In fact, all my holidays have been Magic-Free. But it was magnificent, and very cold. But we got to do so much, and see so much, it was probably my most favourite holiday I ever went on. What other things do you wish to achieve?"
Zhenya was astonished with Professor Bentley, she seemed like an inspirational Professor.
