"I'm doing great professor" She gave Bentley one final smile before class had began. When Bentley started talking. Competition, she felt her stomach turn in notes she wasn't even sure when the next round was coming, but the whole thing was exciting and nerve wracking all at once. The group in round one did amazing, she wished she could have seen better, but she was sitting by some great company so all in all it was great. So yes she was enjoying the competition so far. She had to admit a few of the foreign students were a bi different but most seemed nice.
So they were talking about herb and that tea again. A smile crossed the prefects face as she pulled out the notes from last class. This was interesting to her and anything in Herbology that was interesting to her she would take. She thought about the healing side of the herbs and how this could really help her next fall at Uni.
Once they were told to look at the board Min looked at her notes and then back at the board, so she had missed a few of the properties, well that would need fixed. She went through and scribbled down fixing and changing some of her notes.
