Herbology Lesson Three: Enhanced Journaling Techniques
 

Lining the classroom were various plants, from cacti to ferns. Some shined and shimmered, some seemed waxy, others were just... plants. As far as that went, anyhow. Each of them (except for the ferns) was currently blossoming, which meant for a rather colorful classroom.

Erikson opened the classroom to awaiting students at last, once he was sure that everything was set and healthy. "Welcome, everyone. Please come in, take a seat. Place your konkagami or lily before you, if you could, unless you received further instruction from me on your plant."

ooc: please describe your konkagami, if there is anything of it left, as you enter the classroom

Cassandra walked into the class, and this time, for the first time, sat in the back row, and didn't greet the professor.

Marco sheepishly entered the Herbology classroom, his arms snuggled around his dead plant. He hoped if he wrapped his arms around it, Erikson wouldn't see that he had killed it. He avoided the teacher's glance and took a seat at the back, placing the plant in front of him, his head lowered.

Kayla walked into the classroom carrying her Konkagami which to her surprise was alive and thriving well. It had bloomed into a bright orange flower with a tinge of red on the outer layers. As she walked passed Erikson she gave him a nod and headed straight for the back of the classroom. She noticed Prefect Trelawney was already there so she sat a few seats away from her.

Apedemak nodded to Professor Erickson as his unhurried stride carried him into the class room, before sweeping his golden eyes around the room looking for his Prefect. Seeing her in the back of the room he titled his head to side, an oddly bird-like gesture. After a moment he moved to take a seat next to her. "Prefect Trelawney. A pleasure to see you as always."

Xana entered the classroom and took a seat, holding a closed box carefully in her arms.

Diabolica loped into the classroom, cradling a tiger lily in her arms carefully. She sighed and took a seat near the back, awaiting class to begin.

Cassandra looked over at Apedemak. She nodded in acknowledgment. She wasn't very comfortable at the moment... she was still seething over the fact Xana called her a hufflepuff...

Claudian sat looking at his konkagami plant. Despite having chopped it with the pruning scissors, it bloomed, sprouting off strange trailing orchids that seemed to weep in that emo-like fashion.

Alandra walked into the classroom, cradling a flourished plant in her arms as she walked in.

"Good afternoon Professor." She smiled before she took her seat. She notited Prefect Trelawney a few chairs down from her and nodded a 'hello.'

She sat and waited for class to begin.

James stared at his tall, slender plant, trying to get something out of it. Purple flowers didn't quite relate to him. Neither did black and red petals.

Hermy entered the classroom, with a flourishing plant held in her arms. Hermy was rather proud of the result, even if the colours of the petals were slightly...well, drab. They were a pale beige-tan at the centre of the bloom, that faded out to a dusty teal colour at the tips. A few small flecks of navy were also scattered around. She didn't realise plants could be tan coloured, but she guessed that was something to do with its relation to her.

She placed the pot on the desk in front of her, and pulled out her writing supplies.

"I um..." Marco looked down at his plant, "I had an accident." Yeah say that. It makes perfect sense. "It flowered to a pretty dead brown colour." Cos that is a colour. "Or...if you don't believe that. I had to go home and was very busy."

Heather who had already been seated sat mourning the death of her plant which was in front of her and black. It had died in a small fire she had accidently started and she didn't want to discuss it.

Cassandra nodded back towards Alandra Lee.

She pulled her Konkagami plant out and placed it in front of her. Its color a bright green with a light tan band around the bud. the tips seemed to have been dipped with red.

Kayla looked around the classroom and noted that most of the students that were entering were carrying dead plants and looked down at hers and smiled smugly. Well at least she had kept her's alive that was one accomplishment for this class she never thought she'd have. She looked over at Prefect Trelawney's Konkagami and noticed the colours of hers, she too had red on the outer layers. I wonder what....nevermind Kayla thought.

Claudian raised his hands, "To monitor the responses of the plants, Professor." He added. "It would help you to determine what techniques are working and which are not for the specific plant you are working with."

"To see how they change?" Marco asked, in a sort of reply. He really was useless at these things.

Alandra petted her Konkagami, she was quite proud at how it turned out. It was a bright blue color with white tips and spawned from a purple stem.
