Herbology itself was a very hit-or-miss lesson for Emmeline. She either found the magical plants cool and interesting, or found them so boring that it was a constant struggle to keep her eyes pried open. There was also the fact that Professor Myers was potentially a Dark wizard; she was spending half her time in his lessons these days scrutinizing the professor, looking for clues to prove Derf's theory right. She had no idea if he'd noticed her intense staring or not yet, and grew more disappointed after each Herbology lesson that failed to turn up any clues.

As Emmeline bounced inside the greenhouse today, however, her attention was obviously caught by the tree that dominated the room at once. It was actually really pretty, which raised the first year's hopes for today's lesson being interesting considerably. She liked pretty plants after all. The professor was using some weird, long word that she didn't understand as she came in and Emmeline scrunched up her forehead in confusion as she greeted him: "Hi professor!"

Scanning the greenhouse, Emmeline waved hi to Miss Noelle, Dora, Zoryn, Isa, and anyone else she knew before plopping down on the ground. She was sitting pretty close to Dora and Zoryn and an older Ravenclaw boy she didn't know, and they all got quiet "hiii"'s from the first year as she waited for the lesson to start.
