Placing her bag down on the ground near her feet, she held onto the strap before taking out her wand and twirling it. Hmm? What did the professor say to do? Eh, she couldn't remember.

Mostly because her other favorite Gryffindor was sitting next to her. Raising a brow, the twirling of her wand finally slowed down to a stop. He was talking to her? "...Hello lemur boy." she said, cracking a smile even.

Hehe. Hmm, lemur boy who was a great chef and amazing Gryffindor guy.

Evelyn was soooo tempted to just, help Destiny's head get stuck in there. She ruined the Slytherin's mood! Somehow. How? Evelyn didn't know, but she just did.

Now she was all irritated.

*grumble*

Taking away her conversation with Patroclus. Pssh.

Things had started off great. That lasted all of about ten minutes though. Now he was miffed at the Slytherin boy who didn't know who the heck he was.. and BRIELLE was here.

Why hadn't she gone home already!?

His adam's apple quivered nervously as he gulped and he tried his hardest to avoid eye contact with the girl. He did NOT like her tone of voice. Not one little bit. Shudder.

"Let's get started then, shall we?" He asked, glancing at Lexi to make sure she was ready before closing the greenhouse door behind Mia.

"So! Herbology and Charms," he started, clapping his hands together and looking around the room. The comments from the Denver boy threw off his train of thought and Sage felt his ears burn red. Okay. He was ignoring that..

"In many ways, two completely different subjects," he quickly carried on, willing his ears to cool off. "Like most subjects though, they can be integrated.. they can work together. Who has any ideas of how Charms and Herbology can be related? Be creative!"

Fletcher strolled into Herbology, not as wary of the plants as he had been after the first task, but still a little cautious. "'Lo, Professor," he greeted Dodson with a nod, before noticing Miz Pink Highlights standing there too and adding, "sss. Professorssss. Yeah."

Well that was weird. He was definitely not aware Charms and Herbology were combined now. Or maybe Professor Carlton was in training to take over for Professor Dodson? Yeah he'd probably be checking into St. Mungo's any day now to get his twitchy nervous disorder checked out. Never mind that the guy looked perfectly fine today; Fletcher was not convinced.

"So you're both teaching Herbology today?" the Hufflepuff asked conversationally, looking between the professors as he picked out a work station near the front. He was about to add on to that when that Slytherin kid said something with rather... uh.... inappropriate connotations. Fletcher's mouth went wide into a comical O shape before he quickly shut it and started chuckling instead.

Heheheheheheh. He had to hand it to Dylan Denver. The boy had courage. Or stupidity. Either way, it was hilarious. But never mind that, class was starting! AHH!

"You can... charm a plant to grow bigger or smaller," Fletcher answered loudly to cover up his snickering a moment earlier. "And you could like, use aguamenti to water 'em."

Duh.


GAH GEMMA you just had to post at the same time as me. =P Please don't count me late.

Ok so the cold of a wintery day in February was enough to make a trip to the greenhouses for another herbology class uncomfortable. But certainly not one to be missed especially with charms class added into the mix. They both by far had been two of his better classes even if only charms was a plus for his future endeavours.

Bet Professor Lafay nearly had an appoplectic fit when she heard about that news, Simon mused to himself with a shake of the head as he headed into class.

"Hello Professor Carlton....Professor Dodson," he greeted with a friendly smile before following instructions and moving beside a potted plant. His bag of supplies laid down at his feet to be ready if and when needed.

Patroclus smiled as Evelyn made mention of her nickname for him, it had been ages since he had heard it.

"Hey Ev-" Stopping short as he heard what Destiny had said......
Bahahahahahhahah!

Patroclus had missed the craziness that was Destiny!

"Do it!" Patroclus smiled gleefully, "If you get stuck, we can just smash the pot......it will be like a bird break out of an egg!"

Do it Do it!

Being back with his favourite snakes just felt right!

Lexi simply shook her head in disgust as her brother spoke again. Burying her head in her hands she aimed a kick at his legs under the workstation. What. An. Idiot. Gah.

Then raising her hand she first smiled at Fletcher and directing her attention back to the professors she said, "Well... when dealing with Devil's Snare you must use charms if they wish to make it out alive. Right? Like the Blue Bell Flame, or Lumos."

Pleasepleaseplease let Dyl keep his freakin mouth shut now.

Dylan raised his hand, "You can hover the watering can." Yeah that was using charms. Then he felt a kick under the table. "OWWWWW!" Damn that hurt. He gave Lexi a slight punch to the leg under that table.

Mmkay. Awkward moment, for the win!

No, no the comment. The fact that she and the Denver kid were pretty much looking right at each other when neither really knew exactly what to say. Erm, right... Something needed to be said. "Erm, right. Soil. Dirt. Fertilizer," she said, nodding once as she commented.

How Denver expected Sage to plant crops without getting dirty was beyond her...

"Now listen up, children. Sage has asked a question. Mister Dodson. Professor Dodson," she said, flailing for a moment before quietening down and just turning in the opposite direction.

After a few moments thought, Simon raised his hand to answer as an idea came to mind. "Couldn't a repelling charm be useful to keep insects and other pests away from plants?" he suggested lowering his hand.

Oh yeah. He could feel the want coming off of her. She was still looking into his deep blue eyes. He gave her a wink, and a small smile. Maybe he could send her a note asking to see her later. "Riiiiiiight, dirt." That was exactly what he meant.

Haha she was floundering on her words. That meant that she was embarassed like a little school girl. She had a crush on Dylan, he could sense it. Maybe he should send that note now. They could meet after class in her office. Drink mead and talk about Charms.

Amber raised her hand. She was average in these two classes, but at least they were two of her best classes. Unlike Muggle Studies and Arithmancy, her two worst. "Professor, you could use charms and spells to have certain affects on a plant. Like, to make it bigger or smaller or to have it change color." That was the best she could come up with as her brain was still fuzzy from the cold outside. She looked at the seat next to her which she had thought to be empty, but it was now filled by... Fletcher? When did he get here? Oh well, she just hoped that they didn't have partner work or something. Hufflepuffs weren't called "House of the Dull" for nothing. Not that she'd ever say that, it's just what she overheard.

*snigger*

Mia raised her hand, "You could use charms to prune your plants. Or you could even immobolise them so that it makes it easier to prune them." Something she already mastered but without actually knowing how she had done it.

Poor little flutterby bush.

*headdesk*

Lexi had had about enough of Dylan acting like an IDIOT. Gah... people were going to think she condonded that behavior since they were siblings and all. Gah. Then he punched her back. Frowning slightly she rubbed her leg and then he did it again... He WINKED at Professor Carlton. No way.

Getting up she quickly moved away from Dylan and plopped down a few seats fromt he Glitter!Puff. Not sure that was a good idea either...

Raising her hand she said, "Oooh! Instead of having to touch the nasty fertilizer you could levitate it and making it sprinkle on the plants." Seee... she was NOT like her brother.

Good point. The pot was only a pot and if her head did get stuck, it would be easy to break! A thumbs up in Patroclus' direction, she leaned further over the pot, and..

..her head didn't even fit! Either her head was too big or the pot was too small.

The latter, definitely.

Creative!

That was Destiny's middle name!

Destiny Creative Shepard. Okay, so it didn't sound all that good, but it was much better than her real middle name. Having the same name as the Potion's Professor..not cool at all. "So, eh.." she started, hand waving wildly in the air, "Say someone got their head stuck in a pot, right? And say this person is your enemy. You could totally use a permanent sticking charm on it so it would never come off."

AND NO ONE BETTER GET ANY IDEAS!

Destiny glaaaared at everyone..her eyes resting on Dodson a little longer than the rest.

Bahaha! Perhaps Destiny SHOULD try to get her head stuck...

Then she could knock some sense into the girl! Evelyn still didn't know why she was being all like this suddenly though.

Hmmm.

Best distract herself.

She was just, being silly. Is all. Right? "You could use the severing charm on a plant." KILL IT!

MWAHAHAHA! "You know, to trim branches, or something."

Riigght.

Emmaleigh raised her hand, "um, well, if its a mean plant, you could stun it or something right?" Stuning spells were charms right? she was still having trouble with what clacified as a charm, but she thought she was correct

Picking his nail-bed free of wayward dirt in the back of the greenhouse (next to some curious looking flowers that totally brought out the colour of his eyes) Salmandrius Beaugustus Malfoy was not impressed with this joint lesson at all. It was a poor effort.

They were probably trying to pass it off as increasing efficiency but he knew the truth: teachers were lazy, they wanted to go sit in their staff room and gossip about the foreigners. Or possibly make eyes at each other.

He cast the two up front a disdainful look. Definitely the latter.

Sage? Like the Herb? Erb?.... whatever "Well Professor like last time, when we were harvesting bubotuber pus and need to collect them, I engorgio'd the vials and slipped them over each pustule, then cast reverto to shrink the vial back to normal size, squeezing the pus out of the pustules and collecting them into the vials in one simple action." the lad replied, angling his head like its the most obvious thing to do.

And it would be, if you were high on bubotuber scent.

Wowwww. "Way to completely copy my answer," Fletcher grumbled at the Gryffindor who had, apparently, chosen to sit by him. He knew he was a chick magnet all right, but this girl? Wasn't she the one who blew up her cauldron in potions?! He certainly hoped she was better at potions because he would NOT stand to be covered in fertilizer as a result of an 'accident.'

Hmmph. Girls. Now he had to add on to his earlier answer.


"Charms can also be used to like, modify the plants you're working with," Fletcher offered with a raised hand. "Besides changing the color of the fanged geraniums you're working with, for example, you could make them do funky things? Flash colors? Sing? Tapdance around the room? Explode into little pieces? That would be cool, if you made bouncing bulb confetti...."

Much better answer. Repeat that one, Amber!!!

Kurumi scratched her head for a moment. The more obvious connection to her was how Herbology and Potions went together, but she couldn't blame the somewhat quiet professor for not wanting to do a joint class with Dragon Lady. "As was already mentioned, some plants have charms that are used to protect yourself...another example is Venomous Tentacula. You have to use Diffindo to stun it and sever its arms..." They weren't going to have to deal with this plant today...were they?

Cass had never taken Herbology before.She and dirt don't usually go together....but hey, charms was involved, so maybe it would be a lot cleaner.

"Well, you can use Aguamenti to water your plants." heh. That was a good answer right? Cass didn't know.

After last herbology lesson, Emily was slightly hesitant about this...but, no bubotubers this time. She hoped. Speaking of plants, "I guess you could silencio on a mandrake, and you can use fire spells on devil snare"

Freya was hoping this time she wouldn't have to deal with disgusting pustule like the first Herbology lesson. Just thinking about it already made her sick. Hmm..how Charms and Herbology can be related? "Umm..You could use the Growth Charm on the plant to make it bigger." so the plant will growth on their own without getting herself dirty right?Yup that was definitely it.

Fee sat there listening to the two professors, this eas the second joint lesson they had.Seemed teacher liked them.Well Fee didnt care, she would try to do her best.

"You could use charms to harvest,to crop and to grow plants",she said raising he head.

She wouldnt do any of this in her free time but hey, just be nice.

Louisa watched the Professors trying to cooporate together and she thought if they rehearsed this class before or something because... never mind that now, a question was asked.

"There might be a plant that could strengthen our magical skills." She answered after raising her hand. It was totally a make-up answer but she liked it.. liked to believe it actually, "... and casting spells is a magical skill." There. A nice simple answer.
