Gus prided himself on knowing exactly which voice belonged to which of his students and from his spot under his workstation he had deciphered every single voice in the greenhouse with ease. And without seeing them! This was a great game of hide and not-seek. If the greenhouse and the students inside it had been quiet enough, they'd have heard him tittering away at the assumptions that he was one of the toads or the confusion that he wasn't there and THEN at the students that were talking to him or toad versions of him. THEY WERE ALL WRONG. HE WAS RIGHT HERE!!!!! HELLO? HELLO! RIGHT HERE. No one? OKAY. He found himself mouthing a greeting back to each student that greeted him or the toads, out of habit...because he couldn't see them and they couldn't see him. It was a good little gap here. Maybe he'd hide out more often.

The students knew already that they would be starting a new topic this month given that all of their introductory Herbology classes had been gotten out of the way in September. He covered the basics of health and safety in a greenhouse throughout September, no matter the year group of his students. No age was above learning the first skills needed to work with plants, magical and mundane. BUT A NEW TOPIC WAS AFOOT. HOORAY. As soon as the ticker on his watch clicked to 1pm, the door to the greenhouse closed without a present Professor it seemed. Anyone that arrived after now would find out how serious he was about his rule of being late. Very serious. The class had started!

In a swift series of movements, Professor Rainwater rolled out behind his workstation and leaped on top of it. ”GOOD AFTERNOON, HOGWARTIANS!” Sticking with his greeting in another school year. He’d ignore any of the looks the teenagers in front of him gave. Irrelevant. Or just not appreciated. One of the two! ”Despite your… speculation, I can confirm that I am not one of the toads in the greenhouse. Ugly slimy little things. Wouldn’t choose to be one if it was life or death. Gross. You see those eyes? BEADY! Do you see mine? NOT BEADY!” And as usual, he’d gotten off track, but it really wasn’t uncommon in these classes of his. Was he bothered? Nope. ”Although, the eyes I’m concerned about are those that thought I WAS a toad and SPOKE to me.” Gus gave every one of those students a knowing look and a grin. It was all in jest. He thought that it was funny and that it showed a lot about the imagination of the class - which they would need in this topic and over the next few months when he set their project.

From his spot on top of the table, he gestured to the toads on the stool. ”Any idea what we’re learning today? ANY? None?” Of course there were none.. He’d given no time for answers. ”Toads on a stool? Toad? Stool? Stool toad? Toadstool? TOADSTOOL!!!!!!!!” C’mon. That was FUNNY. Funny enough that Gus fell into a sitting position on top of the workstation belly laughing. The laughing continued for a little while (less than a minute but more than twenty seconds) before he gestured again to the toads. At the same time, the whiteboard cleared itself off and one word was written at the top, ready for class collaborative listing!

Because he was a TALENTED man with many degrees and a wide berth of knowledge. Not that he’d divulge the information unless it came up in conversation. ”In essence, a toadstool is a type of mushroom, a type of fungi. Now, as we’re beginning this topic, I want to see what you already know. Help me help you. What can you tell me about toadstools? Let’s go for… one answer per person. A fact, a property or a type from each of you please. We’ll start at the back!”

OOC: Hi lovelies! Back to basics for the first question. Gus teaches in topic for bulks of the term so this class is the introduction to their new topic for the next few IC months! They’d cover different aspects of their topic each lesson to get an extensive understanding on the things they’re being taught y’know? But he wants to know what they know ALREADY. It can be things they’ve read, things they’ve observed, encountered or are guessing! Learning begins somewhere and Gus is super all about knowing what they know already so he can build on that or fill in gaps and correct incorrect knowledge.

He encourages the use of piggyback answers still (it’s still his favourite method of answering and he does acknowledge those students that do it!), so you can give more information on someone elses answers. If your character doesn’t know, that’s okay!

Class has started so do not post your characters arriving now and pretend they’ve been here all along <3 Any questions, please feel free to contact me!

We’ll move on in roughly 24 hours.
