| Term 20: September - December 2008 Term Twenty: Treasure Hunt! (Sept. 2066 - June 2067) |

10-04-2008, 07:47 PM
| | Herbology Lesson One: Room for a New Arrival Once again the room is filled with empty pots, soil, and replanting supplies. In addition are some over-crowded planters. In fact, much of the greenhouse seems to be crowded this time around, some pots holding fairly new plants. In the back of the room is a large empty bin marked "Compost."
Professor Carracio made his way around the room, checking the plants and somewhat looking like he was apologizing to them. Though all it was only the barest flicker in his eyes as he looked at each one. By the time he came back to the front of the classroom his expression was blank, and not a hint of emotion could be seen behind the midnight eyes. |

| Jack was stuck by himself. He did all that was needed, and since none of them seemed like they were dying, he waited. |

"So is this your top subject?" She inquired as she continued with her work. "So far", she said, 'I'm in my first year"
Lillianna continued. She was doing really well.
"I'm from forks all the way in america"

''Ah!'' she shrieked ''there's a big spider on the table!'' Miranda hurriedly backed away getting a big space inbetween her and the table

"I'm from forks all the way in america" "It's my first year as well. I'm from England though." Isabella said as she looked over the work they had done. "I don't believe I've ever heard of Forks. Where is it located?" She asked out of curiosity.

'Please get that disgusting thing away from me.' she said as she backed off.' She had shivers running up and dosn her spine...how she hated spiders...
Deep Breath...
'Yes, the reservation is cool...figuratively.....Literally, it's very hot in the summer, but if I can't be at Hogwarts, that's where I want to be....'

''ooh um...'' Miranda looked around for something to poke the spider away. She looked behind her and saw a pair of ear muffs. Reaching out and taking one she concentrated and aimed for the spider. With a shriek she threw it and looked frantically if the spider scurried away ''Is it gone?'' she asked hoping she hadnt gotten it angry making it come after the two of them

Her mother had recently bought her that book. "I actually have that book in my trunk. My mother bought it for me before I left. She knows I'm an avid reader and thought I would enjoy it. So how are you liking England than?"

"It feels strange", Liolianna said. "If the plant is okay just take away the bad leaves and throw them in the compost pile"
"Ive read them all"

Qaz chuckled as she rebuked the younster. 'As much as I dislike spiders, the idea is to move them outside....not bombard them.'
Seeing the panic in the girls eyes, she patted her on the shoulder and sais, 'It'a okay...there'll be many more where they came from... '

Pulling gently on the rest of the twisted part of the drooping plant that wrapped itself around another, she finally frees it. Tossing that one to the side. She looks for any more yellowed leaves.
"Do you see any more Barry?" Liz asks. "I'm not really seeing much more..."

Anna did as she was told and started with the smallest, undergrown plants. She made sure to find the plants with that were drooping and had yellowed leaves. She started to pull them from the soil, taking care yo not disrupt the other plants.

"Ive read them all" Isabella nodded and did as Lillianna instructed. "Did you get a chance to see any sites before coming to school?" She asked as she trimmed a few bad leaves. "I read the summary of Twilight. I'll have to start reading tonight."

"This is actually quite fun." she said aloud. "I didn't think it would be!" Gwen shrugged, dumping the dead plant on the compost heap. "I'd much prefer to have gloves on. This isn't the most fun part of Herbology. I guess it's really the necessary part."

''well i didnt really want to kill it'' Miranda smiled apologetically Quote:

"Well hopefully you'll get a chance to see more of it at some point. Have you met many people?" She inquired as she plucked leaves and surveyed her work. "Looks like we've gotten almost all of it. Don't you think?"

| ♫ ♥ Where are my garters?! / hyphens-are-cool / THE NORTH GATE ♥ ♫ Helena looked up from her notebook, which was now brimming with notes. She looked at the professor and shuddered involuntarily. She gulped, keeping her mouth closed as she looked around the room. There weren't too many familiar faces. Helena's bright blue eyes glanced back to the professor before staring back down at her work. |

Miranda noticed the girl scribbling down in her book, she got a little closer and noticed, even though she couldnt read what it said, that it was full of notes.
''oh, were we supposed to write this down?'' she asked her worried '' i forgot to do that...'' a mixture of a grimace and a smile on her face
