SPOILER!!: Before the lesson!
Herbology time!!!!! Yes, YES. Reagan was ready! Not only had this been her favorite subject so far (OF THE ENTIRE YEAR), but because she'd spent all of the previous night making some of her vegan peanut brittle for Professor Myers; her foraging buddy! Along with some other treats, of course. Pumpkin and apple butters, seaweed chips, etc. It was really no big deal. The kindly older gentleman was simply her friend and Reagan looked out for her friends. That included food-wise.

Entering the classroom, she sat the cloth sack on his desk, proceeding to her seat.Professor Myers received a small wave, too. He was in his element clearly, though. So, she'd not expected a huge welcome.

SPOILER!!: Myers!

Paul could think of a few things for this..mhmm….

And as you slowly breathe out...let us push all of the bad ideas and thoughts out with us...let the negative energy flow into the air…” He always worried for the plants...what if they got HIT with the bad energy? It was why he opened the door after the meditation. GET THOSE BAD VIBES OUT OF HERE! “Let them drain out of you….you are left with you and your thoughts….” His voice was still soft. “Think of today...think of the fresh start you have for life...every day...you get a chance….to prove yourself...every day….think of your goals….how you wish to accomplish them….” Ahem. Paul was speaking softly, STILL, and had his eyes closed. “And think of all that you are blessed with…”

Paul could think of MANY things. One being his students. Blessing, they were, even if they were grumpy sometimes. Or sad. Or mad. Paul didn’t care or mind. People were people...and people had feelings.

“And with that--we will begin our lesson--” his voice was normal once more and he let go of his neighbor’s hands, returning to the front of the room. “Everyone find a spot! We’re going to be talking about something I find VERY important for anyone interested in seriously taking care of plants--muggle OR magical.”

He grabbed his wand.

“But first--tell me--what is important for plants? Nutrition wise? What do they need?” He waved his wand and a title appeared on the board.

The meditative portions of these lessons were always her favorite. It was so LOVELY to just sit with your peers and center yourself in a way that was both peaceful and conducive to healthy living and healthy lifestyles. So, grabbing her neighbors hand, Rea followed Professor Myers lead. Slowly breathing in....and out, balancing her energies, centering her mind...Releasing whatever had been weighing her down over the last few days...

There had actually been a few things, but once again, even the happiest of people suffered from the occasional melodrama. Even a happy person like Reagan. The negative energies really had left her feeling like a wilted flower these last few weeks.

Anyway...

Meditation always helped. In fact, she LOVED that Professor Myers had them do this before each lesson could properly begin. What better way to start a class? Rea couldn't think of anytihng that might top it....SAVE FOR PROFESSOR YORKS BERTIE BOTT'S! She was such a fun lady.

After finding a spot afterwards, she made herself comfy, thinking on the question that had just been asked. It was a GOOD one...and in turn, her classmates had offered up some amazing answers. She was pretty lucky to be back here...with people that weren't so driven towards other goals and interests. Very lucky, indeed! As for what plants needed, well...Professor Myers KNEW that Reagan had THOUGHTS and OPINIONS about this. Yes, he did. "Sir...a good compose never goes amiss, either." She shot him a secret smile. "I suppose that could count with fertilizer, but knowledge about which fertilizers/compost mixtures work best with WHAT plants is crucial, too...towards a plants survival."

Ugh...she was in her element!
