"FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ANNNNND ONE! TIME'S UP!" Gus called loudly into the bounce house and instantly the leftover miniature toadstools lifted high enough that no student was able to collect them as they were too high. "Come on in, guys! Bounce back over here! Empty your pouches into the box for your house and we can COUNT THEM UP!" Gus was pretty intrigued to see what the numbers were, given that there were still very close to two thousand toadstools still in the air. It actually looked like the kids had barely dented the number in there, which whilst disappointing... he figured they'd also had some fun.

Except for Miss Castillo, who looked as though Gus was responsible for ruining her entire life. WHICH HE WAS NOT.

Once all of the students had emptied their pouches into the correct boxes, Gus went ahead and counted them up. He gave them all time to collect their belongings and get ready for class to end before wheeling in his stash of chocolate frogs, breakfast bars, jelly slugs and licorice wands.

"Alright, kids. The bounce just wasn't there today for Hufflepuff. Their box is EMPTY. Completely empty, actually. Zero toadstools. Glad you all seemed to have fun though." Perhaps he was a little disappointed that they hadn't even caught one, but he couldn't make that a thing. It wasn't fair and Gus was all about being fair, you know? "Grabbing a respectable 13 toadstools iiiiiiiiis Ravenclaw house! Their mascot flies, but... perhaps the members of that house didn't so much today. Good game, guys."

"With a lead of 9 and with a total of 27 toadstools collected, the winners of something each from my collection of goodies, twenty points for their house as a whole and no herbology homework for a week is.............

Slytherin!!!

Sorry, Gryffindor. With 18 toadstools, you were close, but just not close enough. " But Gus had enjoyed watching the competitiveness show in his students and it had been better to see who thrived under this situation more than others. Learning tactic and all that.

"Slytherin students, come collect your snacks and I'll see you in next class. Everyone else, I'd like you to submit a fact file on ten different hybrid plants by next class. Include the origin of them, any details in their life span, why they were created and what you would do to improve them. You're free to go - collect your umbrellas on your way out and stay safe in the rain." He was going to sit in his office and take a quick nap before he mirror called his kids and cried about missing them.

"OH. Miss Gladin? Trinetta? I'd like to speak to you in my office, please. Aboli, can we catch up tomorrow?"

CLASS. DISMISSED.

OOC: Yay! Thank you for taking part in this Herbology lesson, lovelies. It's been super fun! I've loved reading reactions to Gus' antics, the imaginations of your characters and seeing how competitive some of them can be.

You may see the toadstool bounce house feature in a thread out here soon - Gus would love it to continue being used.

Thanks again! You've got about 16 hours until I close the thread, so use this time to react to the results of the toadtastic catchathon or declone <3 Love to all!
