Cedric glanced around, wondering if many students had entered the greenhouse already and then his eyes flickered as he turned to look at Professor Bunbury, she seemed not alright, he wondered what was wrong. Was it the weather? well, the weather was nice that people could really play Quidditch nicely at the pitch.. or was there something that bothering her? Before he could got left out of seats, he occupied the seat in the front and smiled meekly at their professor as he reclined in the chair lamely and rested his elbow on the desk.

Walking into the greenhouse for Herbology, her boots carefully Imperviused against just about anything she could think of, Adrienne looked around as she let herself adjust to the abrupt change in temperature and humidity. It was a good thing her usually messy waves didn't seem to get affected too much, not that she could do anything about it if they did. Inwardly sighing as she didn't see Phoebus, since she knew this was probably one of the other subjects he was way better at than she was, her blue eyes then landed on Fia. At least there was someone here she could maybe talk to, even though she'd also seen Cela and Allison. And the professor. "Hi Professor Bunbury," she greeted the woman with a smile, tentatively nervous at the expression on the professor's face. back to looking for allies.

Heading over to the younger Hufflepuff, she slid into a seat by her before glancing over at her. "Hey Fia," she said in a low voice, trying not to interrupt if class was going to start soon. "I'm surprised Miles isn't here yet, or is he not coming?" In her mind, it was a logical jump, considering pretty much every time she'd seen the Ravenclaw or Fia, they'd been together.

Achoo!!!

Gladly, that was just a sneeze of recovery. Annie headed down towards the Herbology class, to the greenhouses to have her first Herbology lesson. Whee!!

And Yes, she had to greet the professor, though her expression and frizzy hair. It must be the autumn weather, so warm-cold though windy, and being around the humid area that were the greenhouses, it must make it a bit worse, right?

"Good day, Professor Bunbury..." Annie greeted her with a long stretchy smile. She was happy to be at this class, though the warning that she was to be surrounded by pink all the way through the class. Eek...but that didn't matter much, anymore.

Ginny found the Herbology Greenhouses so nice and green. It was beautiful of where she was sitting. She just had to pay attention to Professor Bunbury since Ginny found Herbology so interesting.

Evelyn hung about timidly at the back of the Herbology greenhouse. She was trying to observe Professor Bunbury from a ditance. She didn't look nearly as scary as Wesley had made her out to be, but her frizzy red hair did make her seem a bit wild.

All in all, Evelyn was feeling very excited about her first Herbology lesson. Her sister-in-law, Mia, had a particular interest in plants and had shown her lots of interesting plants she had found in India.

Evelyn stepped further into the room. "Good day, Professor Bunbury," she said cheerfully and politely, "I don't believe we've met. I'm Evelyn Rochester."

Evelyn glanced to the side and caught sight of Ginny. She gave her a big grin and a quick wave.

Ginny glanced at Evelyn and gave her a small wave back to her.

After meeting the professor, Evelyn skipped sideways over to Ginny. "Hey, Weasley. Excited about Herbology? I've never been in the greenhouses before. I like them."

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!" Neptune could be heard before she ever entered the Greenhouse. Strange as it may sound, she was thoroughly enjoying the thick air and the dirty smell. Smelled like home. Or, at leas the Greenhouses at home.

She pranced in, literally, and fluttered about like she owned the place. No regard for anyone but herself. And her Giggles!

Unnnnntil she came across the Professor. Who had slightly frizzy hair today. How dreadful for her! A little aloe vera would fix her right up! Neptune gawked a little, wondering if it was acceptable to offer to find her some. Hmmmm....

Lucille skipped into class, grinning and chewing on a finger nail. She had a spikey bit of nail, and it DID NOT WANT to be chewed off!!

Well, it would have to just be chewed and LIKE it.

She gnawed at it, concentrating on that nail entirely.

Vida could see the woman standing right in the entrance of the Greenhouse with frizzy hair and glum face. So this must be Professor Bunburry, the most popular Herbology Professor. "Hello, Professor!" she smiled, not really satisfied with her fashion knowledge though. May be she can talk to her after the class. Mmm...

When she walked inside the greenhouse more, his spring like curly hair came to her vision very first. Cedric! Rushing towards him, without bothering about hitting one or two students accidentally, "Heey lover boy! Thinking of a rose plant for me?" she giggled and tickled on his side quickly as slipping next to him on the seat.

If there was one thing Tiberius hated, it was going outside in winter when he'd rather stay wrapped up in blankets in the dorm. And if there was one thing Tiberius REALLY hated, it was layering and layering and layering to survive the cold and then walking into a sauna of a room and beginning to sweat under all those layers.

And so Tiberius? He was cranky. Walking into the greenhouse, he began to pull off layer after layer; mittens and then his dragonhide gloves, a scarf and then another scarf, two hats, his winter coat and a muggle sweatshirt.

There. Now he was down to just his uniform, a pile of clothes next to him. "Hello, professor," he said plainly as he took a seat, kicking his clothes beneath it.

"Nay, you seem fine to me" he said, disregarding her apology. "Nice to meet you Sappyre. I'm Nymphy Smith. How do you do?" he asked.

It turned out that Kiri's cold had just got started in Care of Magical Creatures. By the time she was due in Herbology, she was sniffling constantly and trying to see through increasingly puffy eyes. She considered quickly returning to the castle and not attending, instead getting a potion or something from the Hospital Wing and curl up in front of the common room fire, but then she remembered that today's Herbology lesson was supposed to be an important one, and with a heavy sigh (which turned into an even more weighty cough), she stalked off in the direction of the greenhouses.

As she reached the path, Kiri noticed a figure trudging along a few metres in front of her. Most students were dressed appropriately for the season, but this one was wrapped up in so much clothing that he looked like a caricature. Kiri couldn't even tell who the person was until they entered the greenhouse. At which point, off came a hat... and another one... two scarves... two pair of gloves...

It was Tiberius? Closing the door behind her so that none of the humid warmth of the greenhouse could escape, Kiri wondered briefly if Tiberius was wearing two items of everything.
She wandered over and sat down next to him. "Hello, Professor," she called out to Professor Bunbury who stood at the other end of the greenhouse, her normally immaculate hair looking slightly ruffled. "Hi," she greeted Tiberius next, removing her own scarf before immediately taking out another tissue. She was running dangerously low already. "Winter's terrible, isn't it..."

Herbology. This was going to be bad. Veeeerrrry bad. Guh!

Trudging through the snow towards the Greenhouses in her red winter boots Nancy's face was torn into a huge frown. Who would help her in Herbology this term? Certain people she had somehow forgotten the name of had decided not to show up this year after all. Hmpf. Now she would so fail this term without anybody to help her. Hmpf times 1234343

As soon as the almost 17 year old reached the door which lead into the Greenhouse she let out a sigh before pushing it open....and almost closing it again in shock. EW! That smell was almost unbearable! What the-?! Taking a deep breath of fresh outside air Nancy's frown deepened as she finally took a step into the Greenhouse. This lesson was going to be so much worse...she just knew it.

"Good day, Professor Bunbury." Nancy muttered as a greeting towards the redhead as she passed her on her way to a seat in the waaaaaay back of the classroom. With yet another exasperated sigh the blonde sat down after unwrapping the scarf around her neck.

This was going to be horrible. Totally.

"GOOD DAY, CHILDREN," Bunz announced loudly, striding across the greenhouse in her loud shoes, click-clacking this way and that to get their attention.

She came to the front of the classroom by her desk and stared primarily at the Slytherin who had wanted a hug.

"No."

That was final. "And I will be deducting three points from each House for excessive chatter and unruly behavior before the lesson could begin."

Now that mean!Bunz was out of the way, teacher!Bunz could speak.

"The topic of today's lesson will be....."

She paused and uncovered a table with a single tea-cup in the center.

"Tea. Everyone, please tell me one thing you each know about tea."

Tea? Wizard tea, or Muggle tea? As the professor didn't specify it, Evan raised his hand to talk about Muggle tea. (Were there wizard tea, in the first place?) "It likes a lot of rain and it needs a quicklime-free solid. At least the ones in Turkiye do..." Well, surely tea were the same in all over the world, no?

Sidney looks at Professor Bunbury's shoes. They look like pink skyscrapers. The child is amazed that the professor can walk in them and stay upright. Bunbury is an amazing woman... "Professor, different kind of leaves and other fruits and herbs are used to make different varieties of tea."

Nicoletta raised her hand cautiosly. Tea!?!? "errrm, it grows and then they dry it out and it's put into water." There's no way that's right. she thought.

What!?This professor was crazy, three points just for talking before class...she wasn't even there! Taking a deep sigh, Arya sat down. She could tell this was gonna be a long class. She raised her hand to awnser the question,"You can drink tea."

The sound of the Click Clack of high heels drew Nancy's gaze towards Bunbunz's shoes...which looked COLD regarding the weather outside. Did she have those on when walking outside too?! Strange woman...very strange...

Nancy's expression of annoyance was replaced by one of utter surprise as Bunbunz revealed what today's lesson would be about. TEA?! Seriously?! "Uh...I think it originally comes from China, right?" She replied after raising her hand.

Well...that wasn't too bad. Not until now anyways. Cough

Points? She was going to take points? Hopefully not from Hufflepuff. 'Ok, tea. What do I know about tea' Kay thought. "Well I know that there are different types of tea, Professor. After it is grows, it gets dried and some is used as leaves and others are put in tea bags." She said think that wasn't what the Professor really wanted. "Oh, And its used in Potions too." She added

Gold hadn't talked. Did that mean she got points for being good? Well, apparently not. She decided she did not like this professor, then raised a hand and said,

"Tea is... the agricultural product of the Camellia sinensis plant, professor. It is also, after water, the most widely-consumed beverage in the world." She lowered her hand.

Sarah gave Chris a wink and gestured to the space next to her as he came across.Wiggling herself over a bit she gave him some room, before her attention shot to the front as Professor Bunbury started speaking.Points off for talking.From each house?! Had Huffies been chatting? Really? Huh.

OK the subject was....tea?
What did she know about tea?
Her father drunk nothing else, for a start.But that didn't give her intimate knowledge of the stuff.Raising her hand, Sarah gave her best answer. "Ummm, I know there are a few varieties, Professor.Can't remember the exact number, but I think it's like 5 or 6...." She put her hand back down and racked her brain trying to think on whether that was true.

'She's taking points, that stinks,' Marie thought as she looked around at everyone that had been talking. Somepeople just need to learn to sit quietly she thought as she glared at Kay who had been doinga lot of talking herself.

Oh, they were going to talk about tea. Marie loved to drink tea. Raising her had she said "When the tea leaves are dried they can be added to water to drink. Most people drink hot tea but there are also others who like to drink it iced. There are also different types of tea leaves which all taste different when you drink them."

OOH! QUESTION! Candy raised her hand and looked all HAPPY. "I know that people of the Han Dynasty used tea as medicine, professah!" She said. She had so tried to get rid of her accent. But she COULDN'T!!
