What else did she know? Not much, she had to admit. The term Mediterranean flicked a card in her memory, though. "The climatic conditions there are found in a lot of places all over the world, but they're all called... Mediterranean climate, I guess. It means that the summers are very dry and very warm, and that the winters are cold and wet." And because this was Herbology, she added, "Which means that most of the plants growing there have to be good at surviving long periods of drought in the summer, and lots of rain in the winter." Miss Starstalker was the first student today apparently blessed with a brain. Bunbunz had to refrain from rolling her eyes as the rest of the class provided basic answers and only Kiri brought up the Mediterranean climate.
"Excellent answer and thank you for relating it to the subject we're studying," the professor nodded at Kiri. "The Mediterranean climate has a factor in the growth and development of the plant we're studying today, if anyone can figure out what that is...."

The name Mediterranean means: "in the middle of the land". and is called this because it is almost completely surrounded by land" she added. Iris wracked her brain for anything else she could remember. "Is it really the most polluted?" Bunbury repeated the Slytherin, blinking at her a few times for good measure. "I did not kn--- I mean, good answer. So you know the root of the word Mediterranean. Fantastic."
She was not going to admit that her students could possibly know some things she didn't.

I think that one shoe-shaped country's Italy?" "Oh wonderful, so you have studied geography," Bunbury did roll her eyes at this one. "Do you know anything about the climate or weather there, Mr. Karsten? If not, I'd suggest taking some notes." Mr. Karsten-who-neglected-to-turn-in-the-last-homework-assignment.

Because he acted like a troll sometimes? A good-looking flying troll?
"Another obvious observation," Bunbury drawled, studying her nails boredly. "Think about magic, Carden, since you are a wizard.
"Magical seas. Magic and water. Magic and Mediterranean water. Magic and Mediterranean water plants..... what do you all know about magical water plants of the mediterranean?"
