| | |  [Cooper's] Herbology Lesson One
Erikson finished setting up the classroom, making sure that plenty of sunlight was filtering in. The back corner was blocked off and darkened quiet considerably. A sign noted "Beware of Devil's Snare." Various vines and a few ferns filled the classroom. Some moved and twitched, and others just laid there. Some were curled up small trellises and whatnot.
A sign at the front of the classroom read "Herbology Lesson One: Vines and their Raw Use"
He checked over everything twice before opening up the classroom and waiting for the students to trickle in. His hands itched for something to hold, and his left wrist felt unbearably bare. He swore to himself that eventually, when time permitted, he would obtain a new wand.
ooc: Sorry everyone! I thought I'd had this posted at 12:45 and apparently didn't! | |

Jose entered the classroom and saw the professor "are you okay" he asked as he saw the professor go to hold something.

Apedemak nodded to Professor Erickson as his slow measured strides carried him into the Herbology classroom. The Sudanese boy's first instinct was still to look for Prefect Trelwaney; but, as always this semester she would not be in attendance. The forlorn look passed quickly and he took a seat near the front of the class.

Erikson nodded to Apedemak and looked at Jose. "Fine, why?" His tone was a little more sharp than he'd intended. He resolved that the moment had passed however, and there was nothing to be done about it now.

Will entered the herbology classroom and read the sign. Ooooooh... Devil's snare... vines and their use! He had a brief vision of a class in which they could swing from vine to vine, high above Hogwarts... Grinning, he went and found a seat.

Finally a subject he could do. Ignatius strolled into the Herbology lesson. He took a seat and pulled out his text book, a quill and some parchment. He was ready to take oodles amounts of notes.

Will smiled and nodded in greeting at Iggy. He hadn't seen him in an age, it seemed.

Iggy smiled an nodded back at Billium. He hadn't been around school much since he had gotten sent out of Borr's lesson.

"My hair is still intact, so I am fine. The man is all bark and no bite. Though I still will not chance petting him, lest that change with my touch." He walked around the classroom as he waited, touching the plants lightly, and even letting his fingertips trail into the darkness surrounding the Devil's Snare as he passed it by.

Herbology wasn't one of Clifford's strongest subjects. Professor Erikson scared him. Alot. And he used really long, confusing words. Plus, plants smelled funny. But still, he was here and ready to bet confuddled. Eeh.

Liam sauntered into the Herbology classroom. He wasn't exactly the green fingered type was Liam. He examined his fingers, they maybe green literally, but not in the caring for plants sense. Good job Lord Borr wasn't around here anywhere.
He took a seat next to his old chum, Clifford who was looking much better today. “Alright, mate?” he nodded at him. Hopefully this lesson wouldn't involve acorns or Liam would be making a swift move away from Vom Boy.

He looked about at the boys that littered his class and found he wished some of his other students were available. Or at the very least, hadn't graduated. At least they could then visit Hogsmeade and let the girls in on some matters. "To begin... I am not going to teach you some mindless drivel. Whether I work for the Ministry or not, they can be--" he caught his tongue. Rebellion was one matter, swearing in front of children was something else entirely. "I can only hope that you will all find something quite useful out of this class. You will have to pardon how I run things currently. Due to some... matters... I am currently wandless. This will leave some of the magics you see in this room as being somewhat unstable. This shouldn't be a problem by our next class."
"Now!" He returned to the front of the class and looked each of them over. "Today we will be studying vines and their raw use. Can anyone guess what I may mean by 'raw use'?"

Niall sat in his seat near the front on the class, casting a glance over at Ignatius. He hadn't seen him in ages. "Would their raw use be for how dangerous they can get, when tampered with?" He wondered. | |

Will raised his hand. "Like, before they are cooked in a potion, maybe? Or... " he hesitated. "...swinging from them or something?" he added hopefully.

Clifford was already confused, this had to be a record. He nodded at Liam, who had chosen the seat beside him before looking back at Erikson. Still confused.
Raw use?
What in Merlin's name..?
"Erm - Does it mean what you use them for when they're just plain old vines? Like, when they haven't been chopped up and stuff?" He guessed completely hand raised.

Erikson eyed Liam, as he'd just repeated another student word-for-word, and placed his name on a list in his mind. He smirked at the lot of them. "We will be learning of their dangers, yes, but raw use is far more generic than that. Billium and Clifford are rather correct: It is how they may be used in their most raw form. Three points to each of you."
He walked over to something that was rather fern-like, and cordoned off like the Devil's Snare. "Some plants, like this one, have a raw physical use. This is the Snapper Vine. It has a high tensile strength, and can hold well onto itself. For example..." He pulled back the robes covering his left arm and grazed it by the ends of one of its branches.
The end suddenly made an odd snapping sound and wrapped itself around his arm, nearly digging into the skin. It was already evident that it was cutting off the circulation to his hand. He tugged it to show that the plant would not be relinquishing any time soon. He moved his robes aside near his ankle, revealing ankle-high boots which also had a sheath. He pulled a dagger from it and used it to cut the plant at its end. He shoved the cut end into the dirt and it released its grip at last. Red marks covered his forearm where the plant had gripped him.
"Any questions thus far?"

Sean had no questions, so he stayed quiet, waiting for the professor to continue. He was a little surpised that the professor let the plant grab him, but he knew teachers did some crazy things for thier students.

He'd won three points for having a complete and utter guess? Resuuult. Clifford wasn't really aware of what it was the Professor was going on about, he was more interested in the demonstration he was giving. That plant was cool. Not like any of those wimpy daisies.
He shook his head at the Professor's last question. He didn't have any questions, he just wanted to play with the cool plants!

"Good." He whipped out the plant so that it was straight again, then brushed off the dirt from the end. He took up a handful of the dirt and looked around. "Would someone like to volunteer for a little... demonstration?"
