Mogwart? Well they got the name right. It did sound like some sort of medicene. Crushing! Daniel looked forward to that and went over to get the things he needed into a bowl and hurried back to his table. He got the pestle and began.

With a crunch, crunch here and snap, snap there. Here a snap there a snap. Snap snap, snap everywhere. Daniel hummed the to the lines in the tune of Old Mcdonalds farm. And wow! He had mushy leafy stuff. "So what professer? We just put them into our shoes? Won`t it make them smelly and stuff?" Not that Daniel minded much but his mum would kill him if he ruined his shoes.

"It won't make them smelly, don't worry." Sage gave his head a shake a he assured the boy, "the leaves of the Mugwort plant have no scent. Just the flowers do and we won't be using them."

At last, someone who actually seemed to appreciate the Mugwort! "Yes, of course you can keep them!" The Professor exclaimed happily.

"I wonder if this would be uncomfortable or awkward to wear inside the shoes...when you walk, there will be like "phuch-phuch-phuch" in every step...people will look at me badly." Kate thought."Maybe it isn´t so bad if this soothes the pain.."
Kate raised her hand "Professor, How much paste do we have to put in the shoes?" She said politely "Can I keep a sample of this too...just to try it some time" Maybe in my house, on holidays... "Ah, I neerly forget. I´m Katherine Pots, first year, Gryffindor" She added, with a big proud smile.

Sage continued to pace slowly around the classroom, coming to a stop before Katherine Pots. "Well, it depends on the size of the foot in questions," he had a feeling she'd just have small feet. "Just a small bit will be enough. And I'd be glad if you were to take some away with you!" That was the whole point of this lesson after all. To attract awareness to these healing plants so that they could be put to use!

"If you don't want them, then yes." Sage sighed a little. "If you'd just leave them on your table, I'll collect them at the end of the lesson."

Gold headed to the front, grabbed a few leaves as they had been instructed, and then proceeded to pick up a mortar-and-pestle. She heard a younger Hufflepuff ask why the instrument was named, as it was, and raised a hand. "Professor?" She said, very timidly. "I -" She was hopefully not speaking out of turn, but her Latina roots seemed to be forcing her, to speak up. "I believe the Mortarium was an old Roman kitchen vessel. Conical bowl, with a coarse grain embedded into the internal surface. The word 'pestle' would come from Pestillum. That would roughly be Latin for 'pounder' or pounding. I think -- that's why the tool is named as it is, sir," she finished, politely but almost shyly. It had once been completely unlike Gold to be shy, but she had changed, since the end of last term. She could be much less cheerful than she once used to be, often much more thoughtful, and could sometimes suddenly become very under-confident or extremely shy.

Which was exactly why, to hide the fact that she looked all timid, the sixth year hurried to crush the leaves she had grabbed. Maybe Professor!Herbology wouldn't eat her, then.

Or be angry with her.

Oh. Well that was unexpected. Unexpected but quite helpful. Sage listened carefully as the Gryffindor began to explain the origins of the mortar and pestle and therefore how it came to get its name. It was interesting!

And he hoped the younger boy that had questioned the subject had heard.

"Y'hear that, Simon?" Sage asked, looking towards the young boy. "This young lady knows why a mortar and pestle are called a mortar and pestle!" With a grin, the Professor turned back to the girl. "Take a point for Gryffindor.. for.. helping me out." Yes, because now he wouldn't have to research himself.

But plants were in important and little magical things lived on them. Putting the leaves in to the mortar and crushed them up. Looking at them she wondered if they were good enough. "Professor is this good enough or should I continue to crush them?" Kay asked before taking them out of the maotar.

"I think that looks just about perfect," the Professor smiled softly, inspecting the girl's mushing skills and nodding in approval. "I bet your feet would feel loads better if you put those in your shoes."

No one seemed to want to though. And he bet they wouldn't want to do what he had planned next either.

"While you're finishing up with your mugwort," Sage called to the class, "can anyone identify this particular herb?" He held it up to show them.
