*hyperness*

Sage smiled at the discussion going on between Chris and Celandine and nodded in an approving manner. That's what he liked to see. Involvement. A few of the others looked kind of stumped... he hoped they'd perk up when they got to the practical stuff.

"There are opposites for almost everything," the Professor nodded, "even in the world of plants. A simple example for that could perhaps be the stinging nettle and the dock leaf?"

He raised his hand and asked, "Yes, Professor Dudson. How can one appraoch Herbology in forensics and Auror-ship in a balanced way.....I mean to say, in Herbology, the plant is both the poison and the antidote, the gun and the shield, the weapon and the defense. How does one differentiat and make desisive decisions in such a complex field." he said, proud of his question. However, he realized that it may be a bit much for one question....so he amended "That is to say, that was a lot to handle in one question. I guess it was made just to be considered as a braod topic rather than receive a specific answer......"

Nymphy put his hand down and looked inquisitvly at his Professor, hoping that he had impressed him, without offending or confusing him.

Whoa. Okay.

Sage couldn't help but blink a little. That was a pretty complex question.. or was it a statement? Either way, the Professor sent Nymphy a nod. It was impressive. "You make a very good point Mister Smith," he smiled proudly, "and while the plant might be both the poison AND the antidote.. the weapon AND the defense, like anything there is also a middle ground."

He stopped there.. not wanting to edge away from the point of the lesson.

General stuff.

"That reminds me of how Unspeakable Bode was killed, back in 1996, sir," she offered. "Nobody recognized that the plant he had received was Devil's Snare, and not Flitterbloom." That was why aurors needed to be all the more cautious, Gold guessed. She didn't actually have an interest in the field, however. But she did know a bit about it. Mostly from lots of career counselling leaflets she had skimmed through, last year.

"I guess that's why an E in one's Herbology NEWT is generally a requirement to apply to the auror office, professor."

She lowered her hand, which she had raised out of habit, and went back to thinking what to jot down

"Right, that's EXACTLY why an E is required in Herbology if you're looking for a career in being an Auror," Sage agreed, "great example, Gold."

He wasn't entirely sure what this question had to do with Herbology and Aurors, but Sage smiled nevertheless. "You're right there.. if you want to work with animals you need to have knowledge in Herbology for healing and nutrition.. et cetera."

But back onto the subject.

"Now, I'm sure you've all noticed the petals infront of you.. these are used frequently in Magical Forensics," he retrieved a couple from his own desk and held them up. "They're petals from the blood plant.. can anyone guess what they do?"

OOC: FYI, I made the flowers in this lesson up so creativity is crucial here. Imagination is guuurd!
