Herbology Final

It's that time of term again, when the weather is fine, the sun shines and students are seldom seen outdoors as Finals are taking place. On this particular day the Herbology Finals are set to take place, the theoretical component is up just before the lunch break, so be sure to be fed and watered before entering the makeshift classroom to sit the Final.

As you walk into classroom, you see that the desks and chairs are arranged in neat single file rows and each has a special quill and inkwell sitting on the corner of each desk. They’re obviously bewitched with an anti-cheating spell. Professor Bentley is standing at the front of the room, wand in hand and a stack of parchment on the desk beside her, which could only be the theoretical paper.

"Alright everyone you have one hour to complete the theoretical component of the Final, please be seated, if you have any questions raise your hand."

Seren pointed her wand at the tidy stack of parchment sitting on her desk and with a flicking motion they rose and began to distribute themselves, falling neatly in place in front of the students.
"Your time starts now."



Once you have completed the written component of your exam, be sure to read through your answers, double check your facts and spelling, ensure your name is up the top and hand it in to Professor Bentley at the front of the class before departing.

OOC: Please PM this part of the Final including the following information: your username, your ID#, character name, year and house, thank you!

Later in the day, some time shortly after lunch, you arrive at the greenhouses for the practical portion of your Herbology Final. You bring with you your dragon hide gloves and your wand.

As Professor Bentley calls out your name, you enter the greenhouse (one at a time) to complete the practical portion of the Final.
"Good luck dear."

You are confronted with a workstation, here you find a potted Fanged Geranium, it has three heads of flowers, its bright red petals contrast beautifully against its pointy, sharp, white fangs. Other tools and supplies are found beneath the table, including pruning shears, twine, fertilizer, a packet of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, an empty jar, pliers and a number of other items. Basically whatever you might need, will be there.

"Your task today is to safely harvest these six fangs from the Fanged Geranium, in a considerate manner." Meaning do not hurt the plant, or else you'll fail and you'll find that you'll end up spending the remainder of your time at Hogwarts this term weeding the student garden. "Once you have collected the fangs and placed them in the jar provided you are to administer general maintenance care for the plant as well." Yes all that basic stuff they should know off by heart by now.

"Once you have completed the task to the best of your ability, you may clean your space and go."

OOC: You do not need to wait for us to actually call your name. Post ONLY ONCE, completing the activity and leaving.



OOC: The Herbology Final is worth a combined total of 35 points. 15 for the Theoretical and 20 for the Practical. You may chose not to do both, that is entirely up to you. Both portions of the Herbology Final is due on Wednesday the 30th November at 10am GMT.
