When he asked his first question, she raised her hand. "Sir, I think that Herbology would be important for the field of medicine. For example, discovering magical plants or herbs with properties to help the sick," she said. Mhm! Oops! And she forgot to tell him her name. "Oh, and my name is Abby Hartzler," she said. She included the last name for good measure. Didn't the English like to refer to people by their last names or something? Quote:

"That's right!" Sage nodded, clapping his hands together and almost dropping the plant he'd been holding in the process. Oops, he'd forgotten about that. He put it on the desk behind him before continuing, "knowledge of Herbology is very important to a Healer. Because as Abby and Cadence said," the first girl hadnt said her name! "many plants hold healing properties." Nice. Quote:

"Lysandra and William," Sage nodded at both in acknowledgement, "are also very correct. Many herbs and plants.. magical or mundane are used in Potions, and so Herbology is quite crucial to a potioneer." Quote:
Originally Posted by Snape'sGirlThru&Thru After thinking for a few moments, Vashti raised her hand to answer. "Maybe if you wanted to be a gardener?" Did they have those in the wizarding world or was that just a Muggle thing? Ah well, might as well go with it. "You know, so that you don't plant something dangerous in someone's garden if they don't want it. So you'd need to be good in Herbology to know which plants are dangerous and which are harmless." Maybe Aunt Grace should take Herbology. "Oh, and my name's Vashti Greenwell," she added, remembering that he wanted to know their names. "Hi." Although it was a pretty obvious answer - a gardener needing to know Herbology (well, a wizarding gardener would anyway) - Sage liked this answer. Perhaps because he'd been a gardener himself. "Knowledge of plants is very important to a gardener, you're right, Vashti." Quote:

Just in time too. Well, actually who knows…Evelyn wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings until now so she could’ve been there all along.
“Umm…I’m Evelyn Flores, Professor. People who are wandmakers. Since they deal with trees and such all the time for wands.” She said after raising her hand. Right? This one was a smart answer. Out of the box thinking. "Nice thinking, Evelyn," the Professor complimented with a smile. Yes, a nervous one.. but he was starting to feel a little better now. "Understanding trees and their magical properties is part of Herbology, and therefore is very important to people who are studying in wandlore, yes." Quote:
Originally Posted by Beth Westphal Alcemee said, "My name is Alcemee Esilna. I think a few careers having to do with Herbology are: gardener, things with potions, or healer, because all those have to do with plants." "Yes, they do Alcemee!" Sage nodded at her answer, offering her a smile as he did so. "Gardeners, potioneers and healers." Quote:

"Yes, indeed!" Sage said, chilling out a little now he was in his element. Talking about Herbology. "If you're planning to work with Magical Creatures - well, any creature in general really - understanding Herbology is a bonus. Not just for their diet, but for their habitat too!"

"You mean in a culinary career?" Sage asked and nodded some more in Kay's direction. "Of course, a chef would need to know which plants are edible and so on.. so yes."
"Excellent start," the Professor said approvingly, glancing around the room once more. "They're all very good answers, but today we're going to be focusing on just one of those. Healing." He wondered how many of these students were interested in a career in that field.
"Whether you're interested in the field of healing or not," he started, continuing his thoughts, "understanding the properties of medicinal plants could help you out one day." It had helped him. Numerous times. "Maybe even save your life. Anyone know of any plants that contain healing properties?"
The plants he'd strategically placed around the room all had some special healing property.
