She paused briefly to allow time for those students to get settled. "Now a few of you have asked about this ivy that is growing on the window panes... and for the record, they won't harm you, though they may attempt to wrap themselves around your ankles or your fingers should you allow them to." She gave a few of the leaves another gentle stroke as they reached out to her.
"Now before we move deeper into the greenhouse, does anybody have any idea as to why there is little light in here?"
When professor Bentley mentioned the gloves, Nora almost started to freak out that she might not have brought hers, but she felt much better when she found them in her bag. She didn't know if they had to put them on yet, but she put them on anyway, just to be sure, especially after she heard that the ivy might wrap around her.
As for the lack of light... the first thing that crossed her mind was that she was more than happy because the greenhouse was not brightly lit, so she could properly wake up. Her eyes would only hurt if she faced more light so quickly.
Banishing away that thought, she raised her hand. "
Some plants don't really need or like light, and my only guess is that this ivy doesn't either." And nor did she.
