And it had worked! She had their attention. Of course there was the very real risk that one of them might get gnawed on, but fingers crossed they'd be smart enough not to ignore her instructions. So long as they all listened, didn't wander, and didn't touch things without otherwise being told to, then they'd be
fine.

She did not understand some people.
Drama dealt with, Lux was happy to jump right into the lesson. Rolling the sleeves of Bay's sweater up, she reached into her bag and took out her gloves. On her hands they went.
Wait. What?
THEY COULD BE EATEN?!
Nervously she raised her hand. "We won't REALLY be eaten will we, Professor?" An uncertain glance was sent towards the greenhouse.
And really? .........
"Do you honestly think I'd let any of you die?" she asked, her tone soft with disappointment.
"No, so long as you all listen, you'll all live." Quote:

Ethan beamed at the professor and bowed to her. That's what a gentleman should do right? "Likewise, Professor Bentley!" he said as he tucked his hands behind him. It was always a good thing to put a face to a name. All he had back in their common room were names of teachers and the subjects they taught.
So yes, gloves! Ethan got his pair from his back pocket and donned them. He wiggled his gloved fingers in front of him to show the professor that he was ready.
Foodstuff? Nope. He doesn't have any food with him...even water. Wasn't even a hot day, so bringing water to this class wasn't logical.
Yep! "Ready, professor!"
Whoa. Wait. "Eaten?" Ethan looked at the door to Greenhouse Eight suspiciously. "I spoke too soon..."
And look at that, they were all preparing themselves, and Ethan too seemed enthusiastic... until the words had the opportunity to sink in. Whoops?
"Yes, eaten... but don't worry, I rather like keeping my job." So nobody would die on her watch.
...
...
Never mind what happened to Marion Burbage. That wasn't
her fault.

No foodstuff? That was easy. Kate hadn't brought a snack. She gave Professor Bentley two gloved thumbs up and even smiled, not at all processing the fact that Bentley suggested they might get eaten and not just their food.
Seren returned the thumbs up to the eager Ravenclaw, at least
she didn't seem perturbed by the idea of flesh eaters. This was good news.

Though she had winked so....Kyroh simply wasn't sure. He knew he had seen the Professor before that time when he visited the castle. So maybe that was what she meant? Hopefully.
He did not need another Professor wanting to send owls home to his parents. Especially not one his papa had said to be nice to.
BENTLEY! Yes that was her name. Kyroh almost slapped himself on the head for forgetting. He had to pay attention! He had known that too. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a pair of dragon-hide gloves and quickly pulled them on.
...Eaten....? SEE HE WAS RIGHT! The girl had a chance of being eaten!!!
Trouble? Was he in trouble.
"Not yet," she replied,
"and I would hope not ever..." Did the boy have plans? Shifty plans? ... Surely not, because if that was the case his father would be hearing from her. Perhaps for her own amusement if nothing else. But Kyroh appeared too cute and sweet to be a threat, she wouldn't worry about him.
Still, she watched as he prepared himself for their entrance.
SPOILER!!: Kevin and Adi

Finally, the Professor was done greeting everyone and started the lesson. Which meant they could finally get inside of the greenhouse and finally get some warmth. Kevin turned his gaze towards the woman but then sighed softly as he heard that they weren't going to enter just yet.
Yes, yes he did have his own gloves. He didn't want to walk around with another pair of pink and glittery ones that they had to wear in Care of Magical Creatures. So he took out his own pair of black gloves and put them on.
What she said next made him look up again and this time he groaned. Leave their food?! WHY?! he wanted to snack every now and then during classes! The Gryffindor pushed his hands in to his pockets very reluctantly and took out... bubblegum, bertie botts every flavour beans, some crumbled cauldron cakes rest overs. Out from the other pocket came an Acid Pop, a few ice mice and THEN he moved to his school bag.
Which surprisingly only had a Liquorice Wand in it. "I can have these back right?!" he asked.

From his pocket came two chocolate frogs and a Sugar Quill. He'd be getting these back, right? Kevin had asked an important question.
And whooops... he knew about it, well that was something. Seren bit back a giggle. It really was rather amusing, all things considered. But she wouldn't laugh at the boys expense, that would be rude.
"My apologies."
..
...
And what was with all the food? Kevin seemed to be hoarding a miniature shop in his pocket, and some of the others too had a stash on their person. Were her lessons the equivalent of a picnic? Never mind the tea party they had a couple of terms ago, but this.. this was something else.
"Of course you can, I have no use for them." Except to maybe bribe her prefect, but that was hardly necessary.
OOC: Reminder, lesson continues in approx 3-4 hours.
