Friendly? Since her mild success with Marsha Hanover and Minnie Darling Aslan had been trying to continue this... Friendly streak as best she could, although this might have been a step in the wrong direction.

The Gryffindor reached up to touch her horns, the smallest hint of satisfaction on her features. "Yes, but they're not as uncomfortable as you'd think." If anything, they were a comfortable, settled weight like a thick gold headband.

Tak, didn't escape her notice and Aslan nodded briefly to the younger Slytherin as he waltzed in, his clothes ill-kept and of... Questionable merit. "Takeru, what are you today?" She asked, unabashedly calling to him from where she stood. Curiosity and the cat.

Color rising just a smidgen more in her cheeks, Paige ruffled the bubblegum pink hair on the back of her head and shyly chewed on the inside of her cheek. "Thank you," she replied, still feeling a bit terrible that she hadn't put all that much thought into a costume. Perhaps she could make a bit of a more conscious effort for the prefect event. "Actually....that is quite the brilliant idea," the seventh year nodded. Not that she would be able to perform the enchantments on herself - she could TRY but perhaps it would just be best to find a prosthetic somewhere. Perhaps the Room of Requirement could provide for all her costuming needs...especially since she did not have the time to brew a potion to accomplish a similiar result.

"That's good," she nodded, still blinking at the size of them. She hadn't even been thinking about comfort so much, thoughts stopping at 'big'.

SPOILER!!: Professor Myers

I know some of you might not want to put a blindfold on and stick your hand in a bowl of unknown..substance, but I do promise that it isn’t terrible, and what is IN the bowl is what we will doing our lesson on. So you know it can’t be TOO bad, right?” He hoped that, even if a few of them didn’t participate, at least SOME would. “SOOOO if those of you who want to guess using your hands--go ahead and put the blindfolds on. Those of you who would like to merely LOOK at the stuff and guess...well, not NEARLY as fun, but it’s allowed! So! BLINDFOLDS ON!” he called out, loudly,

…..

He waited for those who wanted to to have their blindfolds snugly on before summoning a BUNCH of bowls (assumingly from the greenhouse? WHO KNEW). They clattered onto the tables, in front of students both blindfolded and not.

The substance in the black bowls were slimy, slightly orange in tiny, and felt like thin strands of some squishy substance. The smell was strong, pungent, and very familiar for those who were lovers of the Autumn season. Was it WORMS? Sure felt like WORMS IN THERE.

“Does aaaaanyone know?”

OOC: Hello everyone, Herbology has officially started! Since the class is outside, Paul probably wouldn't technically know if anyone was late unless a whole HORDE of people show up late, so.....YOU CAN DECIDE HOW YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO SHOW UP IF YOU HAVEN'T ARRIVED ALREADY. *isn't gonna' lie lmao*

Also, I know this might be super duper easy for some of your characters, but Paul, bless him, wanted to do this FOR THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN...so...you all have like...17 or so hours to have your students guess? Depending on my schedule tomorrow. Happy posting! Interact with each other, chatter away, Paul says this is a mellow lesson.

Paige would be lying if she said she wasn't a little disappointed that today's lesson would have no real practical application that could help her on her NEWTs, but something light hearted to break through the tension of studies and making it through two months of school was also quite welcomed.

Having no qualms with blindfolds herself, Paige slipped hers on and then searched around the table for the bowl...hesitating for a moment when she overhead some of the guesses - like brains - which was now a visual that she could not get out of her head. Whatever it was she was about to put her hand in, it was going to be something Herbology related...and Professor Myers wasn't exactly being subtle about everything being Halloween themed...which meant pumpkins. At least that was what she was able to deduce prior to sticking her hand into the goop.

Yup...definately pumpkin pulp...

..............but could people please stop saying that it was brains?

"Do you have plans to use all of this, professor?" Paige asked while shaking her hand off. Because if there were bowls on each table...that was a LOT of pumpkin pulp to go around and Paige had a few ideas.
