Cutty failed at Herbology. This was largely due to the fact that he was absent - almost entirely - the nurturing and gentle nature needed for Professor Bentley's, who Cutty happened to think was a bit craycray, more aware take on the subject. He could learn things about plants and the secundo had already, thanks to the professor and Tobias Tempus (who Cutty now began to think was full of it for telling him he was no star student in Herbology last year), but woe to the plant left entirely to Cutty's non-existence care.
And, speaking of Tempus, there he was ...

"Woaahhhhh..."
The boy was amazed. Magic was awesome, okay? And surprises were even awesomer. This Hufflepuff beamed at the sights around him and stepped up to... was it a squirrel? It looked like a squirrel. He knelt down and examined it closely, intrigued. Well, his attention has certainly been caught, he was ready for this lesson.
After he'd had his fill of staring at the topiary squirrel, and lightly touching it's leaves, Tobias stood back up and wandered in a bit. He encountered the Herbology professor and the topiary elephant at the same time (obviously) and beamed up at her.
"Hi Professor Bentley!" he called up, before reaching out to gently touch the elephant's trunk, almost like it was made of delicate china and he was afraid he'd break it. "These animals are brilliant!"
Enthusiasm. He had it.
Kissing backside.
Which Cutty had a deep appreciation for himself if applied correctly.
Good job, Tempus! Good show! First, the Hufflepuff was all
good-riddance about his grand-dad, then he set himself up for success in Quidditch and now here he was sucking up to all the right people! He could learn a lot of Tobias Tempus. Oh, yes, very much indeed. Cutty took a seat at a nearby vacant one where he could see the Professor and...The Topiary Menagerie!!!!!!! Herbology just got interesting and Cutty was already imagining the ways in which an army of blackberry thorn spider monkies might come in handy one day. You know, Herbology wasn't so bad. He even liked the teas they did last term.
