Tapio was feeling more and more invigorated and cheerful the further they walked, and he had to watch himself to keep from striding on ahead of everyone else. He loved being outdoors.
"Yes, the Animal Whisperer Potion and the Vaxifloo Potion both use fluxweed, and it should be picked under the full moon, like the one we have tonight. And...well, Miss Thanatos I'm not sure about Felix Felicis." Tapio did not recall fluxweed being one of the ingredients for that offhand, though he didn't know the ingredients of all the potions from memory. "Perhaps we should defer to our expert, Professor Hernandez about that."
By now the group had arrived beside a meadow filled with occasional shrubs and trees, and filled with growing things. One reached it by turning off the main path onto a little footpath, which wound through the grasses. Tapio had checked ahead of time, and he knew that a number of clusters of fluxweed were growing here, as well as a number of other plants. [b]"All right, now, here we are! We're turning off onto this path through the meadow and our task tonight is to find some fluxweed and harvest it. Use your wands to cast Lumos if you need to, although the moon should be bright enough to see to walk, at any rate. We've covered this plant in both Herbology and Potions, but just as a reminder, it's a rather tall plant, long pointed green leaves, and, when it's in bloom, small purple flowers. Put the plants you find in your satchels or bags and we'll drop them off at the greenhouses on our way back. Then we can sort through them at our next class and see what you've come up with. Oh, and those of you who've been carrying hampers, just set them down here by me, and thank you very much.
"All right, have at it!" Tapio stood near a small sapling tree and watched as the students spread out in the meadow. He'd be checking up on them every now and then, but first, he had a few things to attend to here.
[OOC: Had to go out of town for a few days unexpectedly, but am back now, and this will continue for a while, at least to give a chance to catch up.]
