"Thank you, Professor, I'd be very grateful if you did and for the book as well," Justine said, fluttering her green eyes innocently at him. She bit her lip. "I do have some curiosity for Herbology, not a very extensive interest, but some of the flora and fauna can be fascinating... " She actually used to love learning about magical plants and gardening with her mother, but her affection for the practice had diminished since the very messy divorce of her parents.
No slap on the wrist? No reprimand? Not even a tut of disapproval? Justine was surprised to say the least, a feeling she didn't often share in. And now she was grinning, properly grinning, the light mask of innocence slipping away. "No, no, I actually like the person, I wouldn't want to hurt them.... Just.. Mess with them a bit." She said, feeling far more comfortable now.
ugh. That smirk, the way it lit up those gorgeous eyes. Her stomach flipped a bit, which was absolutely ridiculous, but it did. "You don't say? Would you mind terribly showing me? For scholarly reason, of course." Justine joked, smirking up at the Professor, unable to help herself.
Well. it was good that she had a nit of interest in the subject and it was also good that she didn't lie about it and exaggerate it just for the sake of attention. Andrew did not like attention seekers. And although she wasn't as passionate as Mister Tempus - who was now the number one example, because hello awesome journal and all- yet Andy was pleased by the fact that a number of students felt that they could come and ask him about Herbology matters. "Of course," he said waving his hand dismissively. Looking into herbs and having a reason to go through his books was not a problem at all.
Yeah he didn't care whether she liked that person neither did he care about the person's feelings. But since he was a Professor here he supposed it was part of the job to make sure the students behaved and all. And Ravenclaws were sensible anyway, so how bad could it really be.
For a second he was back in time to when he was a student and planning the next prank or trying to figure out what the next one designed for him would be. But then he was back to being the current Walton, the professor and the super serious. The smirk slipped off his face and it turned blank again. Should he give her the herb? Or it's better if he didn't get to the level where the students got comfortable asking him for favors and prank ideas? Because kids could be annoying, everyone knew that. But the Ravenclaw was graduating this year and she didn't really classify as a kid. Without saying anything, he was off the bench and at his table rummaging through his always-locked drawers. Hmm. Had to be here somewhere. THERE!
Walking back to the seventh-year, Andrew held up a tiny container. "This is it, but don't give it to anyone or tell anyone about it," Why was he even helping? He did not know. Maybe it was the school boy in him. Quote:

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, you're the boss, but a chocolate tree would be a BIG hit, Professor W." JUST SAYING.
Tea time! Z was happily waiting on hers to cool a little, looking around the greenhouse, helping Professor Walton SEE what ALL they could grow to EAT! She took her seat. "THis is a GREAT place to have tea! I bet you really like being back? Were you a Ravenclaw?"
It always amazed him how the students felt the need to evaluate him or his job. Like that Hufflepuff telling Andrew he was a good teacher after the first lesson. The Herbologist said it once and would be saying it all the time if he was one to use many words, he didn't care what they thought. Eh.
"All the plants here should have academical use," Did that make sense? Tomatoes were not academical. And there certainly wasn't going to be a lesson on them. And this wasn't the kitchens and it wasn't his job to grow crops and he said absolutely none of that.
Psht. Chocolate. Like he would put anything remotely close to that in his Greenhouses. For a very valid reason that MANY kids would be roaming around and that meant danger. He was regretting putting that tree and the rocky chairs. People were climbing it! He was still considering booby traps.
A Ravenclaw. Walton was holding the cup of tea close to his mouth and was about to sip from it but he PAUSED that. "Slytherin," He corrected her then took a sip.
