Did she think they were going to make the bulbs. Hmm. "We won't be making anything today, miss Kettleburn." he said glancing to her nametag. Kettleburn? And they weren't really making anything, the bouncing bulbs were under his table. Well, a few. "Something like that, yes," he said. Her answer wasn't accurate but better than most and the boy's was correct so he got a nod. And he'd be elaborating on the matter after the rest of the class stopped sharing their thoughts. "Yes, that is correct," Good answers. "Mature bouncing bulbs are quite large and hard to handle," he repeated aloud. And he guessed that's what the girl with the French (?) accent said. Hmm. Was the girl still thinking about an example for his previous answer? He appreciated the dedicated spirit of her and nodded at her answer. She should move on with them though to the next answer about the plant which he held up in his hand. Andrew lowered the bouncing bulb and was about to tell the young Snake's that her answer was correct when another Slytherin completed it for her. "True, what Mister Mordaunt said," he nodded at the two of them. He paused considering her answer, "That's true. Although they don't have much of a root system in the first place," He told the Ravenclaw. Someone was approaching it from a different angle which was good. Huh? Andrew blinked at the boy who looked quite certain of his answer. "I don't think so," He arched an eyebrow at him. "No, those would be Puffapods," He corrected the Slytherin. A for effort, though. His eyes slid to the bulb in his hand. Did they look like turnips? He didn't think so but he wasn't going to argue with a kid about it. Sure, a turnip it was. You don't say. Those kids were bright. Andrew remained quiet for a bit then said, "Obviously," At least they tried. No answers? Were they gazing at the bouncing bulb in his hand admiringly or were their minds somewhere else completely? He hoped the later wasn't it. And at least they weren't giggling huh? What fire? There wasn't a fire in Andrew's Greenhouse. Nope. Can't happen. sniff.. sniff. What was that smell, oh and smoke?
In two wide strides, Andrew was near Whitlock's table. This boy was on fire. Like literally. Before Andy could get there and act water sprouted from someone's wand and extinguished the fire. Lover boy. "Who did this?" The herbologist barked a deep scowl on his face.
"Good reflex, Mister Adair," he turned to the lion. "Three points to Gryffindor," Nod. The boy deserved them. Turning to Whitlock, "Do you have enemies? Who would do this to you?" The culprit needed to be found and punished. Duh. Not only for almost setting a classmate on fire but also for interrupting the lesson and disturbing everyone and most importantly Andrew. Mhm. "Whoever did this, come forth and you won't be punished severely. But when I check everyone's wands, it won't be pleasant," Wasn't that hard to find out what the last spell cast with a wand was. Ahem, he came prepared. Quote:

And the Whitlock boy here seemed to have a long list of enemies and wasn't likely to guess who this was. Talk about useless. Ignoring his comment, Andrew shot a look at everyone at the nearby tables. "If you find out, tell me, even after a million years," Yup. He'd have to go around the world and search for Andrew Walton in order to tell him who was the one who almost set the entire greenhouse on fire. This was important. Although, not as important as the lesson. So, he'd better get back to that. But before that, he wasn't going to let it go. Not Walton. "Two points from everyone," Pause. "Unless the person who almost burned us all alive speaks up," Yeah? "I will wait till the end of the lesson." Which they needed to continue. Oh, and the Head Girl agreed, good, less headache.
"Back to the bouncing bulbs," The Herbologist said walking back to his table and standing behind it. "This is of course a young one. Because like some of you pointed out, the mature ones can reach a very huge size like a tree or a doorway" He said placing the plant on the table. "Now to sum up what you all said, this particular plant is important for potions making, more particularly the Pompion Potion." Which was also mentioned but he was sure that many haven't heard most of the answers thanks to one person who thought he was funny. " And in order to use it as an ingredient, we will have to pot it. Like the name suggests, this plant does bounce," Like the bright students pointed out," so putting it in a pot might not be that easy as one might think. To do so, you will need to achieve a couple of steps before reaching the potting part." Which they should have started doing already! Man, he needed a hot cup of freshly harvested mint tea to relax. Though, stopping the lesson for that wasn't really an answer.
Moving on. "If threatened, the bouncing bulb can and will attack the nearest person. This is why I want you all to practice approaching the plant casually and coolly without showing any nervous signs because that will make it nervous and unsettled as well, which we do not want. Compose yourselves." Which might be hard for some of them by the looks of it. " I will be approaching each one of you with a cart that contains bouncing bulbs but I will stay about ten inches away and I'd like to see you getting as much closer as you can without disturbing the plants. If you see them starting to move uncontrollably and preparing to jump or attack, stop approaching. I won't tell you when it's time to back off, though, you will have to figure it out by yourself. " GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! This was going to be fun. Not for them.
Turning around, Andrew went and fetched the cart which he spoke of earlier. "Okay. Remain quiet. I'll be stopping by each table." he said pushing the cart near the first table. This was probably going to take long. YAWN. He was bored already.
OOC: Of course you don't have to wait for anything, just say that Andrew has reached you with the cart then RP your charrie getting closer. How close they get is up to you! You may if you want also decide if the bulbs get disturbed or not if you don't I will decide judging by your charrie's moves. But please do not RP the plant attacking or bouncing out of the cart, Andrew is right there and he would have intervened before allowing that to happen. So be creative and have fun. This could be done in a single post, unless you feel like doing it in more than one. Quality over quantity, though. Next post will be in 20ish hours. Quote:

The plants didn’t look at all intimidating and neither did Layla care much for plants anyway. They looked pretty she did agree but she wasn’t one of those ‘must plant shrubs everywhere’ type of people. Grass made a very good pitch and vegetables were extremely beneficial to the sporty and incredibly healthy eater.
She didn’t feel an inch of nervousness as she stepped forward towards the plants. The corner of her mouth had twitched up into a sort of half smile and her head was tilted at a slight angle. She stepped forward again only this time it was a much larger pace. She didn’t take her eyes off the bouncing plants even if the Prof’s pretty face was only inches higher than the cart. This was the task after all and Layla wasn’t one those girls who let guys get in the way. Pfft no. She had much bigger goals, larger ambitions and boy she could look after herself. She didn’t know how these boy attention seeking bimbos could live with themselves sometimes.
She took another non-nervous step forward. After all what damage could a plant really do. And she supposed it would get the Prof into a LOT of trouble if he let one of his students get injured. He’d probably get fired or something and she was sure that he didn’t want to lose his job. She managed to get within inches of the plant before she glanced back at the Professor.
Now what?
As for whoever had set that guys robes alight which was apparently what had happened it was A) Ever so slightly amusing and had certainly brightened up the lesson and B) Very attention seeking. She guessed it would be one of the mischievous attention seeking younger students or one of the girls prying for the Professors fuss. Pathetic and needy. Urgh some of these kids were incredibly annoying.
Eden didn't even know what to say. About anything. Everyone had given such great info about the bulby things--and then--there was a fire apparently? Eden had thought the greenhouse just smelled like smoke occasionally. WHoops? Professor Walton was NOT happy...not one bit, either. She siiighed because him grumpy wasn't cool. She hoped whoever started the FIRE would come FORWARD okay?
AND he was taking two points off of everyone?! NOT FAIR. Eden hadn't lost ANY points yet, and she didn't want to START. UGH. It was probably some DUMB younger kid. She glanced at them ALL in turn--except Archie, he was a DEAR--and tried to determine WHO DONE IT.
Not that she would figure it out. Especially not since they had to do important things and whatnot. They had to PRACTICE with the bulbs. Eden stood up, after watching Layla go, and gave her a THUMBS up for being really good. She had done well! Eden...well, she feared she wouldn't be as good.
She was already nervous because...Professor Walton. So when she approached the plant--slowly--she wasn't surprised to see them poise for attack. Eden quickly hopped back, took a deep breath, and blushed. OKAY. Well. This was AWKWARD. She smiled nervously at the professor and took a few more deep breaths. She took ONE step--and the bulbs were rattling again. UGH. Eden was biting her lip in frustration. And trying not to cry out of...anger at herself. Stupid confidence. She had none. She wanted some--could she borrow some of Layla's confidence?
She took a step closer--and tried to clear her mind, like she did with Divination--and as she took another step, it seemed to be working! Without thinking too hard(not a difficult thing for her) she got ALL the way to the plant on the cart--and she grinned up at the professor. WOW. She had done it. Now it was time to back away quickly before the bulby guys decided to attack her. She went back to her table, and waited to see if Archie or Connor would go.
