Derfael was the first student to enter the greenhouse and Joshua detected hestitation and fear. Trying to sooth the prefect worries nodded "Yes Derfael, you are allowed to cast Immobulus on the vines. You are allowed to use Diffindo too if the plant get's too close." Quote:

Blue eyes fixed curiously on the man at his latter announcement, just before uttering her most used cuss word. Deadly plants and permission to swear. This was shaping up to be an....interesting lesson. Whether for better or worse was yet to be seen. “Have the plants been devenomed?” It was the only thing she could think of as no real precautions were given. The man must’ve known these things were safe, which frankly made them rather boring. "Good morning Jessa!" Professor Wishart greeted the Head Girl with a smile. In answer to her question he said "Yes, the plants have been devenomed." But in all hoensty though these were young plants and their venom wasn’t deadly. Quote:

She thought to herself, her nose crinkling as that smell of warm wet soil hit her nose. There was something different with the smell of manure’d soil inside of a greenhouse and when it was outside of one…it was like hot cow’s…right not going to think of that.
Why the morose tone? He wondered as Beth Greyvson greeted him. "Good morning Anabeth!" he replied back, deciding to not put any more thought into it. She probably was tired or didn’t like herbology or something else entirely. Quote:

Workbenches moved like that always included group work, and he didn't like group activities. But he did spot Beth, so he scurried to her side as he shoved his worn dragon hide gloves on and pried her hand away from the vines. "Hello Daehyun" Professor Wishart greeted the lion boy as he made his way quickly over to his friend Beth. Quote:

The thought almost brought a giggle up but she held it down. She was about to continue in to the greenhouse when the Professor cautioned them on mobile vines, which liked to grab onto flesh.
Hanna donned her Dragonhide Gloves before stepping in and immediately recognising the Venemous Tentactulars. "W-would it be okay if I stun it or something if it gets too close?" she asked. Some people were a bit crazy for plants, and would choose to protect them over people. .
The excitement that Hanna seemed to glow with was hard to miss and what made Professor Wishart chirp smile at her. ”Good morning Hanna,” He was about to turn to the next student when he heard her question. Looking over at her he said "Yes, it’s most certainly okay if you stun the vines if they get too close." Because these plants were playful. Quote:

With a bow in form of a nod, he greeted the professor. "Good morning, Professor Wishart..." he said as he looked around the greenhouse and the already caused amazement by the plants they'd be working with on that lesson.
Was he nervous? Maybe. He liked having his skin without any mark, so he immediately put on his gloves and made sure his robe protected the rest of his arm and neck. They could be sneaky, right? With much curiosity, he observed the plant from a few feet apart from the table. Did the boy just bow at him? Prof. Wishart was momentarily stunned before he found himself and returned the nod. "Good morning Frankie." Quote:

Hopefully he didn’t mind if she just stayed over near her friend to show support while courage was built up. "Good morning Stasya!" Professor Wishart greeted with a smile as the lioness headed over to stand next to Derfael probably to show support, something he saw as a very nice and thoughtful of her. Quote:
Originally Posted by Samia Trying not to sulk all too much by the thought of finally attending a class, Zachary made his way to the greenhouses and gave the professor a small nod in greeting, before grabbing himself a pair of dragon hide gloves.
Could he ditch?
Could they tell he was not bothered about this class? Zackary’s entrance did not go unnoticed as he in a bit of a sulk it seemed entered and took a seat next to Jessa. Professor Wishart of course returned the boy’s nod. Maybe he should ask Kalen if it was a new Slytherin thing to not greet professor’s properly anymore? Hmm. Quote:
Originally Posted by DuckyLinJi "Hello Professor Wishart" he greeted and entered. It did not take him long to find out which plant they would be working on and the Ravenclaw frowned. So they were going to work on a venomous plant ....how did that fit in to the plan of making Hogwarts a safer place?!
Shaking his head, the Ravenclaw took his seat at one of the tables and pulled out his wand in case the plant started to randomly attack. "Hello Dorian!" Professor Wishart greeted as the young ravenclaw passed to take a seat with his gloves on and his wand out. Quote:
Originally Posted by Ginevra "Good morning, Professor Wishart," Daisy greeted as she entered the greenhouse. She donned her pair of dragon-hide gloves before sitting down at the table somewhere towards the middle. Daisy instinctively recoiled as she saw the plant in front of her. She loved Herbology with her former Head of House last year. Now, she just wasn't too sure. Did Daisy just recoil at the sight of the venemous tentacula on the table? He must have seen wrong, and proceeded to he greet the badger prefect as was custom. "Morning Daisy." Quote:
Originally Posted by Saz Hale Kimi put on his dragon hide gloves and said "Hello Professor" Kimi took a seat and waited for the lesson to begin "Good morning Kimi!" Professor Wishart greeted the badger senior boy with a nod. A mix of older and younger students was always preferred. Quote:

It didn't look like Soraya was here yet but that was fine, she'd save a seat for her. Right now, Tess was much more interested in the venomous tentacula. Most plants were kinda lame, in her opinion, but this one wasn't.
"Good morning Tessa!" Professor Wishart responded with a smile over at the lioness. Showing clear interest in the plant subject for today was very good. Quote:
Originally Posted by siriusblackliveson Patrick rubbed his eyes as he walked into the greenhouse. They felt dry and he couldn’t find his eye drops his morning on his way in. With a quick flip of his hair he pulled on his dragon gloves as he was instructed. He sat down and readied himself for the lesson because he was not looking forward to this. He put a smile on his face, “morning professor” Turning to the Snake Captain Professor Wishart greeted with a smile. "Good morning Patrick!" Quote:
Originally Posted by Charely Potter "Hi Professor. Morning." Okay, so he remembered to get the right gloves on. WHOA! What was that thing? Tad blinked donning on the dragon hide gloves before approaching the table. He wasn't going to have any of his flesh grabbed today, thank you. "Hi Taddy, Good Morning to you too!" Professor Wishart chirped as the first year passed by him to take a seat at the big table. Quote:
Originally Posted by Roselyn Though that didn't stop him from scooting his chair a few feet away from the work-space. As interesting as it was that they weren't working with colorful and fresh smelling flowers but rather full of spikes and poison, he quite enjoyed being alive and keeping all his limbs in tack. Ryder Carter’s silent entrance into greenhouse three didn’t go unnoticed. Joshua noted how he scooted his chair a few feet away from his workspace to clearly avoid the plant on the table. The slytherin knew how to take precautions that was clear. Quote:

Dragonhide gloves. Abra stopped to take his own out of his bag and pull them on, pausing as he noticed Derf lingering by the door. Right. Herbology. Venomous Tentacula. Right. Right.
"Good morning Abra!" Professor Wishart greeted thoughtfully with a slightly raised brow. The prefect was clearly tired and it was very evident in his greeting and posture. Now why was that? Quote:
Originally Posted by Kolyander "Morning Professor," Rylee greeted with her usual smile, pausing briefly at the man's warning. Reaching into her bag she pulled out her dragonhide gloves tugging them on before even continuing over to take her seat. She knew better than to mess with a plant that cause her some serious harm... even if her attention was already peaked and she wanted nothing more than to check this plant out. As Rylee passed him Joshua flashed her a "Good morning Rylee!" as she made her way to take a seat at the large table with her gloves on. It was nice to see that everyone so far listened to instructions. Maybe Scrimegour stern attitude was already rubbing off on them? Quote:
Originally Posted by Callie Dizzy grinned at the Professor's greeting, with a twinkle in her eye that said she would definitely be taking him up on the swearing offer if she could justify it. "Good morning, Professor!" "Good morning Dizzy!" Professor Wishart greeted back with smile in the ravenclaw’s direction. Why did she prefer to be called Dizzy when Alfdis was such a pretty name? Quote:
Originally Posted by Erindipity Stepping into the Greenhouse Three, Penny paused, a small smile stretching her lips as she let her eyes take in what they were obviously doing today. Venomous Tentacula. How bloody brilliant! Doing as the Professor suggested, she pulled on her dragon hide gloves and made way toward Patrick Dooley, one of the few people she knew she could carry on a conversation with, without turning red in the face and nearly passing out. When Penny passed him Professor Wishart greeted even if she hadn’t adressed him or really looked in his direction but she followed instruction. "Good morning Penny." Quote:
Originally Posted by Dokimoto The tables were a little different today. Jackson heard and saw the professor at the same time. They… wait. They like to grab onto flesh? Normally, he didn’t care for feeling threatened in classrooms, but here he was. Should they be wearing hazmat suits or something maybe?? “Good morning, Sir,” Jackson offered, not expecting a reply since the professor was a little busy giving them permission to swear (that’s what he had heard anyway). Jackson got his gloves out and put them on before grabbing his seat, as instructed. Joshua gaze went to Jackson as the senior student and eagle prefect passed him. "Good morning to you too Jackson." He greeted with a smile. It was always nice when there was at least a few senior students attending the classes, it meant that they could offer assistance to the youngsters if needed. Quote:
Originally Posted by Buggy-Boo Bernie was nervous ... something about plants that could move on their own made him a little scared. Okay let's be real everything around Hogwarts made him scared. He still wasn't used to this magic business.
But none the less he was determined to make the best of it until he was used to it ... or rather went him crying one of the two. So doing as he was told he placed his gloves on his hands and took a seat .... praying that those plants didn't see him. Maybe it's like that movie Jurassic Park he had seen.... if you don't move they can't see you. "Hello Bernie!" Professor Wishart greeted with a smile over to the first year badger as he took a seat with his gloves on like requested. Quote:
Originally Posted by Waterloo Under normal circumstances, the Professor’s warning and mention of flesh grabbing plants would’ve had him on edge but not today. He barely had the energy to care. Instead, he double checked his watch before pulling on his dragon hide gloves and wondered if perhaps there was time for a quick nap before class officially started. What was it with these snakes? Joshua was now confuzzled as Maxton didn't greet him properly either. Just found a seat, checked his watch and pulled on his gloves. Odd. If the snake prefect had looked his way though Professor Wishart would have given a smile and a 'Good morning Maxton' though. Quote:

Myers being gone was going to be WEIRD - but they had chosen the most GORGEOUS replacement for him, so she couldn't complain that much. Although, what was UP with these crazy plants? Was he TRYING to kill them? Right off the bat?
"Good morning Trinetta!" Professor Wishart greeted with a warm smile. It was clear that the second year was should we say cautious towards the plants since kept an arm's length's distance? Quote:

The quiet morning of Mark was almost missed by Professor Wishart since it had been so feebile to his ears. Nonethelss though he called "Good morning Mark!" after the boy as he walked off to the table. Quote:

But that was also rude and Mama raised him to be better so..... "Good...." He cleared his throat. "Good morning, Professor." Now can he go and sit down in a seat? Yeah?
"Good morning Lucas!" Professor Wishart chirped in greeting as the boy almost sprinted off to find himself a seat. Was he excited or nervous? It was hard to judge. Quote:

"GOOD MORNING Y'ALL!" and were they going to deal with scary, big plants? "WOWZERS." he said as he approached an unclaimed workstation, and stood a safe distance away from the venomous...thing. "GOODMORNING YOU!" Charlie had his hand out towards the plant for a high five, but retracted his limb almost instantly when he saw its teeth. The loud yelling that came from Charlie was unexpected and frankly made Joshua's ears shudder. Hopefully the loudness didn't irritate all the plants too much. Flashing the american boy a smile he called over "Good morning Charlie!" albeit in little more restrained tone of voice. Quote:

Then she heard the Professor's warning and wondered if he was having.. flashbacks of the end of last term or something. Natalie was worried about him, of course, but Stasya was by his side and she didn't want to crowd the doorway or overwhelm him. So she just paused for a moment beside him as she put on her gloves. "All right, Derf?" she asked gently with an encouraging smile.
Then she sort of moved on to a work table, careful of the vines, but kept an eye on him just in case.
Also, "Morning, professor."
"Good morning Natalie!" Professor Wishart chirped in greeting to the sixth year. Finally a snake that knew her manners when all the boy's of that house so far seemed to lack some. Quote:
Originally Posted by Granger Danger yawnsWaking towards the Professor she smiled. "Good Morning Professor, I hope you're well. Stella said. Seeing Beth and Daniel and Lucas she waved at the them. " Hello Beth, Daniel and Lucas. she said letting out a small yawn. That morning run didn't do anything to wake her up, if anything it made her more tired than anything. Seeing Rylee and Abra as well she waved at them. Joshua had to smile broadly at Stella's outburst. She was the first student to show real excitement at the sight of the plants. "Good morning Stella, I'm very well. How are you?" Checking the clock above the greenhouse door Joshua figured it was high time get his first lesson of the school year started. After closing the greenhouse door, he swiftly made his way to the front, to stand next to his blackboard in good view of all students.
"Good morning everyone! Welcome to another Herbology lesson. In case any of you may have forgotten my name is Professor Wishart." He greeted smiling broadly at all the student faces seated at the table. He touched his left robe pocket to make sure he had his wand there, before he continued. “As many of you might have already guessed we are working with Venomous Tentaculas today, that is a dangerous and poisonous plant that during the summer was fed too much fertilizer and food by the elves so now they are all pretty big and overgrown. But these tentaculas are young and not very dangerous and they have been devenomed before class. If one of your tentculas vines get's little too friendly and playful it's okay to use Immobuls, to stun or use Diffindo on them. Just try to be nice and caring against the plants. Before we start doing anything with the plants in front of you though, who can tell me some traits that the venomous tentaculas has?” OOC: Class has now started! Thank you everyone for wanting to participate in my first ever Herbology lesson. :loved; I’m super glad and excited to see this lesson through with you guys. If you have yet to post in this lesson and wish to join in then just act as if your student has been there the whole, unless you want to them to show up late of course and suffer the IC punishment.
Joshua wants know ONE trait that your student knows about Venomous Tentaculas. Both correct, wrong and weird answers are accepted! Have fun! Have your students tentaculas vines get a little too close to them too if you want. Using Immobulus, stunning spell or Diffindo on the vines are okay. Lesson will move on in approx 24 hours @ roughly 7 pm GM+2 on Thursday September 6th since i close at work.
