Entry Number 1

Last night I had a dream that I was asked to teach Herbology. The professor had left, and they were looking for someone to take over the lessons. I remember looking up the different types of plants and fungi. As well as deciding which would be the best plants to teach first year students, and more difficult ones I should use on the older students. The choice had been difficult for me, I spent a lot of time searching the books I had on hand, and also those I found in the library.

Some I thought would be fun were particularly the Honking Daffodils, which I found funny, but might be a bit noisy. Mandrakes would be fascinating I thought as well. There were so many choices to choose from, and it was hard to keep them all straight. I had pages and pages of notes to go through. In the end though I chose the Puffapods for the first through third years and the Mandrakes for the 4th years and up.

I also remember debating whether or not I should use muggle plants or magical plants. Which ones would be the most educational as well as the most fun. When I got to the class, however, I found myself a first year. I had a lot of people laughing as I walked to the front of the classroom. Because until class started I hadn't realized I was a student myself, and not an adult.

This is an actual dream I had when I first joined SS
