"Hello, Mister Ashburry-Hawthorne. Go ahead and --" Take a seed. She eyes widened just a bit when the boy shoved a hand inside the box and retrieved it with a fistful of seeds in his grasp. Oh, Merlin.

"Would you please hand some of those seeds out to those that don't have one, Mister Ashburry-Hawthorne? You'll only be needing one seed today."

................oh.

While he made no verbal noise to confirm his sheepish thoughts, his mouth DID form a rather large 'O' shape and ears turned a bit pink. "S-Sure thing, profes-s....er...Headmis-stress...er...OKAY!" One would think that by now Derf would have figured out what to call the woman and stick to the pattern, but he was a little all over the place recently. So it was that instead of sitting that the second year hopped to his feet with his fist full of seeds and selected one at random - he wouldn't know which seed was which from Adam.

What did that expression even mean? Mum used it but...he was pretty sure that mum didn't know anyone named Adam. Did HE know anyone named Adam?

Oh wait...that was probably the point, huh?

Um...aaaaaanyway...

"Anyone need a s-s-seed?"

That was stated months ago, after all. "Before I go into more detail about how we're going to do this, I have something to ask of you first. What is the significance of trees in Norse mythology? How are trees used in today's world, in relation to runology or in general?"

OOC: Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for coming out to participate in this lesson. It's going to be one filled with a lot of growing! Hehe. If you have yet to post in this lesson and wish to do so, act like your character has been here the whole time ... unless you want your character to show up late, of course. ;)

To start off the lesson, Regina wants to know what your character knows, if anything, about trees in Norse mythology AND/OR how runologists or anyone in general use trees. Try not to repeat something that was already said, and remember that both correct and incorrect answers will be accepted. The lesson will continue in roughly 24 hours. Have fun!

Did he remember? NOPE!

But the image HE had with the word TREE was certainly not the sort that the Headmistress had in mind. Mum was a Herbologists - formerly a Herbology professor at Hogwarts even - and dad was one too. Started his own company thingy and all! Something with Spiney Purple Corals or something like that. But anyway...Derf wore a look of complete HORROR on his face when she announced they would be planting and growing TREES. Couldn't they plant and grow...um...um...something not with the potential to massacre them? HE KNEW WHAT FLESH EATING PLANTS COULD DO AND HOW COULD ANY OF THEM BE CERTAIN THAT THESE SEEDS WERE NOT THOSE OF A FLESH EATER HMMMM?

HMMMMMMMMMMM?

Maybe he should be going around and COLLECTING everyone's seeds...and then run down to the late and THROW them in. He could get a medal for his services to the school, you know? Protecting everyone.

Was she working with Dark Lord Myers on this?

The Hufflepuff was SUSPICIOUS.

"Bowtruckles live in trees-s-s. Their HOME TREE," he offered as an answer. For, you know, every day daily life stuff. "Like Wiggentree! And wand trees-s-s...and we cut tho-s-se down to make wands-s...aaaaand S-SOMETIMES-S runes-s are carved into wands-s!" OH QUESTION. KINDA. "What...happens-s-s when you carve runes-s-s for stuff like we did with becoming winged horse whis-sperers with WAND woods? Like...are they BETTER?" He glanced down at his pendent and...what wood had this been again? Had they been told? If they had did he remember? "AND AND AAAAAAAAND! Which wood would be BES-ST for a creature whis-sper pendent carving runic thingy?"

You know...just asking for a friend. Ahem.

And because the Hufflepuff couldn't help himself....

".....and none of thes-s-se s-s-seeds are....flesh eaters, are they?"
