Because it wasn't as if birds and garden gnomes would get in here very often. Nope.

With a quick gaze around the space and the area they were in, Seren was able to do a head count and some quick mathematics told her all she needed to know.

"Fortunately for us, we've come in time for feeding!" she announced brightly, though waiting to see the reactions of the others... or actually, best not, "but before you start worrying, the more dangerous plants in this greenhouse have already been fed and their meat has been laced with a sedation draught so they won't post a threat to either of you." No... there was just the lesser man-eating ones that might try to take a nibble. But they could handle that, they had gloves on.

"First things first, meat!" she announced, taking a few strides to one of the raised flower beds and pulling out what looked to be an ordinary trunk. A few brisk wand movements later, and the opening of the lid revealed dead rats, steak cuttings and offal. The smell wasn't particularly nice, but it could be overlooked. "Come and take a bit, and offer it up to any of the shrubs and plants in this section only," she noted, indicating the immediate area they were in. "Levitate the meat to it, or throw it, unless you're comfortable risking your hand..." which she didn't advise, because she rather liked her job and would hate for it to be taken from her. "The fanged geraniums, savage sword lilies, pygmy piranha plants, throat latching carnations and barbaric banksia also need a good feed... though you'll need to serve them smaller portions."

Taking a couple of chunks of offal for herself and stepping away from the trunk of meat bits, Seren indicated they could have at it too. "There's no need to be afraid if you don't get too close, and even then, the bushes are what will hurt, the others will only puncture you at best."

OOC: The lesson will continue in 28-39 hours depending on people posting. Have fun with this, tis an experience. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.


He understood he got the answer wrong from the professor sympathetic look. He grinned and shrugged sheepishly. He just wasn't really good with Herbology questions but he was better at the activities. The hands on things he was great at. Not much of a bookworm.

Kace understood what the professor asked. At least the most dangerous plants won't pose a threat to them. He didn't want to have his head bitten off or his hands for that matter. So they were going to feed them today? That was new. He heard the professor they were feeding the plants meat in this general area. Oh that shouldn't be TOO bad. He could use the levitating charm. That was a relief. He didn't want his hands being taken from him. You can't be too trusting with plants. He went up to the front and took a few pieces of meat to feed it.

He got his wand out and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" with a swish and flick and then the meat was levitating. He smiled and then hovered it towards the plants mouth and heard it chomp! Welp i guess that plant was hungry. Now onto find the other ones.
