The beginning of term, new faces, old faces, new adventures... yeah Bentley was excited. As she stood in the entrance to Greenhouse Four, she rocked back and forth on the ball of her feet, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Good morning everyone! The lesson will begin shortly, in the meantime please take a seat." She motioned her hands to a few rows of benches that have been placed near the entrance to the greenhouse for the purpose of that lesson.
OOC: The lesson has officially started, DO NOT announce your character arriving from this point onward, as they will be late, and late = trouble. If you haven't done so already then please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations and the SS Site Rules. All SS Board Rules apply. IC rule breaking will result in IC punishment, OOC rule breaking will result in OOC punishment. Please behave appropriately and most importantly... have fun. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a PM.
Aspen wasn't bothered about being bumped into. That happened, no big deal. She WAS a little bothered at how pale her poor Slytherin partner appeared to be.
It was clearly fear.
She nodded at him without comment. Sure. Partners. And maybe she COULD do all the work and save this poor soul from fainting, or as she'd learned from her brother recently, wetting himself. It was ACTUALLY common among Slytherins.
Who knew?
Aspen cleared her throat and pushed up her sleeves as she approached their Toothy Project of the Day. "Do you know anything about surgery?" she asked, as if at random. Meanwhile, Aspen was bent WAY down to look UP at the open mouth of the Piranha. She checked out the gaps and spaces and was figuring out a plan of action.
Maybe João should get closer, since they were going to CLEAN its teeth. Maybe he shouldn't stay 2 metres away. Maybe that 2 metres wasn't a safe distance either. Maybe they could shoot deadly venoms or something. Who knew? And who knew that this amount of drugs was enough for this plant? Maybe it was a mutant plant and had different level of reaction? Maybe--
He jumped at the question obviously directed at him. WHATWASSHEDOING?! It could BITE--POISON--MURDER! IT WAS--
She was alright. Even her hand was still all healthy. The thing didn't bite. He blinked and took a few steps. Maybe, he could stand at 50 centimetres, until the drugs wore out.
"Yes, I watched some Muggle surgeries," he said after a good 30 seconds. He got closer. He was now practically next to her and to... it.
"We won't operate it, will we?" Yeah, he tried to keep his voice as steady as he could, but somethings were over even his strong self-control.

Good thing he had paired up with a Ravenclaw.
To Aspen's credit, she kept her amused smile mostly hidden from the older Slytherin. She could basically FEEL his fear reverberating off the walls of the Greenhouse. He DID come a little closer though.
"No, no, I don't think the Professor would let us operate," though the idea DID pique her interest. Plant Surgeon. Did those exist? That'd be awesome. "But you know, in surgery, the surgeon calls out what they need - and then someone hands them the object. It's a very important job because the surgeon doesn't have to break concentration by looking around."
Was he following?
Aspen spared him a small, scrutinizing glance then bent down again to the mouth of the Piranha. She held her hand out to the old boy, then clearly requested, "Toothbrush!"

The expression on his face looks disgusted. The plant surely has a nasty breath, whatever its name is.
As he begins brushing the second tooth, his curiousity overcomes him. Once again, Xing stops and turns to Jonathan who is still brushing the teeth. "Hey, Jonathan. Do you know what 'sedated' mean? I'm sorry, I don't understand many English," he asks shyly at the same time, he continues to brush the tooth.
Jonathan started brushing the tooth. He started on the tip of the gums and down to the tip of the tooth. Cleaning is fun, right? Not that it was his favorite hobby but at least, this is a lot better, they could be doing worse things right? Then he slowly brushed the tooth next to it. It was easier to divide it this way. "Tell me if you need any help" he told Xing. Yeah, it'd be better if Jonathan communicated more with his partner, plus, he's the new kid. All the more reason that they should talk.
Then he asked a question. Sedated... Jonathan thought of an exact and yet short definition of it. "Numb" was that exact enough for him? WAIT! Why was he asking about this. Come to think about it Xing spoke in an accent too. "From where are you again?" he asked him while he brushed almost half of the upper teeth already. They'll be finished in no time.
He scrubbed hard enough, just to get the awful particles that is stuck on the teeth. Some of them were hard to take off... disgusting. Jonathan though, tried his best to make sure that he cleans most of the parts.

Oh. Thank goodness they wouldn't need to operate! João let out a relieved sigh. He was still suspicious of this plant. What if this one was broken? One could never be too sure. Instead, he decided to be on guard and keep his wand ready. One single movement--and the plant was burnt.
He nodded absent-mindedly as he observed the plant's mouth from close view. It was disgusting. He still couldn't understand why they were doing this. He wished all the herbology was theoretical. Or less dangerous. Piranhas. Really.
Wait, what?
That he would serve her?
"Yeah right." He wasn't going to be an assistant of anyone. If a Ravenclaw can do this, so could he. He was a Slytherin. At worst, he'd burn the plant.
Oh, watching that would be quite enjoyable.
He did get the toothbrush alright, only to start brushing it himself. And immediately his arm fell only after a few pushes and pulls. It was disgusting. He felt like vomiting.
Looking away as he held the toothbrush as far as his arm would go in her direction, he said "You do the half of it while I observe. I'll do the rest." Yeah... he'd still get points, right?

He didn't even LOOK at the awesome Piranha thing. It would suck him in and be too tempting with its awesomeness.
Yeah.

Aspen was entirely gaping at his sarcasm and apparent sudden bravery. Had he not been paling at the sight of their teeth just moments before? Aspen had thought she was doing him a favor.
Well then. Alrighty.

Back to tooth by tooth Geranium brushing!
While her oh-so-bold older partner cleaned teeth, Aspen happily surrendered her gloves to West. She managed to give his hair a little sweep out of his eyes, and a QUICK "Be careful" before he was off again. She LOVED him. And really wanted to be HIS partner, but alas.
--
When West was gone, Aspen turned back to her partner, who was apparently done and requesting she do the rest.
Ahem.
Aspen reached for his outstretched hand for the brush... but... well.... she might have GRAAAAAAAAAABBED HIS HAND, using her nails just a LITTLE, like the PLANT had suddenly GOBBLED HIS ARM UP.
Maybe he'd wet himself and prove that Slytherin bladder problem thing.
Ahem.
....she did take the brush though and start polishing a tooth.
Pffffffft, he was such a whiny boy. Louisa just stayed still and rolled her eyes as he struggled, squirmed and whatnot. It wasn't as if Bentley was going to let something happen to her students. The Ravenclaw's reasons for not doing this was totally logical, on the other hand. she didn't want to die young
When he finally got the guts to move forward, Louisa's hands on the brush tightened and she stopped breathing for a second. THEBOYWASGOINGTODIE! her heart screamed...
... siiiigh. He didn't. He was actually alive and standing a moment later. Louisa nodded vigorously and strode toward him with the brush in both of her hands.
"Okay.. uhh... oh merlin it looks so scary from over here..." Her voice trembled just a liiittle bit before she swallowed and raised the brush with its brushing side toward the ugly big teeth. The girl made sure not to stand too close to it, not even as close as Lewis had to. She merely stretched her arms aaaallll the way so the brush touched the teeth. Louisa instantly shuddered, "ew ew ew ew ew ew..." this never stopped as she started moving the brush up and down making a disgusted face, too.
The girl made sure her fingers were in a safe place on the brush, not even her fingernails were allowed to get close to the repulsive big teeth. When she had to move the brush slightly to the top of the teeth, her eyes bore into Lewis', "Push the lips a bit... I need to get to the teeth's roots." Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew...
What if he did something wrong? What if his hands slipped and he accidentally hurt the plant? What if it woke up then? It was going to eat them! Him first and then Louisa! Or maybe the other way round. Since she was right in front of it now.
Closing his eyes for a moment to take yet another deep breath, Lewis tried not to think too much about what he was doing and where his hands were. Okay, he could do this. This was going to be fine. They were both going to be perfectly fine.
His eyes fluttered open again and focused on her when she muttered something about the plant looking scary. "Try holding its mouth open..." Now THAT was scary. And he wasn't even allowed to shudder like she was doing now. Because then he might just hurt the plant and wake it up. If that was possible.
Couldn't they just work on those other plants too? On those that didn't look THAT scary.
Lewis stared right back when she met his gaze, not wanting to look down at what he was holding or else he was pretty sure the panic that was slowly rising inside of him might just...make him run out of the class. The lips? He wrinkled his nose and glanced down for a second so he could shift his hands a little to do as Louisa had asked him to.
"Brilliant," Kurumi said with a cheerful smile, trying to just ooze the Gryffindor courage that people from her house were supposed to have. Just ignore that the sixth year had been feeling anything but confident over the past few days. It had taken everything out of her to get out of bed and into her robes. If it hadn't been for Selina, well, chances were the Kurumi wouldn't even have been eating.
NOT that any of this was important right now, and Kurumi turned her attention back to the toothbrush in her hands. Alright, so she would be brushing. This shouldn't be too bad, especially since the plant appeared to be rather docile at the moment.
Or maybe it could be. Merlin that was AWFUL. "I-I-I guess he hasn't had his teeth brushed in a-a-a-awhile..." Or...he just had terrible morning breath. Plugging her nose with one hand, Kurumi began to run the brush over its fangs, making sure to be a little extra gentle around the gums.
Penny tried not to giggle at the two of them but it didn't work out too well. The smell was awful and the look on Kurumi's face was priceless. She had only just met the Prefect but she had a calm confidence that wasn't lost on Penny. Not to mention that she could only imagine what her own face looked like.
Carefully she adjusted her grip so that she could get the mouth open wider and turned up so that Kurumi could get to the teeth easier. She felt a little resistance from the plant, like it was trying to shake off her hands but the attempt was feeble. Resolutely the Ravvie held on until the resistance passed.
Phew!
To sooth her nerves she latched onto Kurumi's last spoke words, talking always seemed to help her in tense situations. "Even if it's teeth had been brushed yesterday his breath would still stink. He's a carnivore who eats meat and slowly digests it's food. That smell is his food rotting in his stomach." Okay, so she probably knew that but it was how she got a hold of her rampant nerves. She was a Ravenclaw after all and spouting useless information calmed her.

West wasn't at all bothered by any smells. Smells weren't anything to stress about, they just were. Even acknowledging them was a bit pointless if it was just to say ew or to say it was nice or something. Smells had their USES too, see? Like you could tell if there was something WRONG by a smell. And the Fanged Geranium didn't smell... wrong. Not NICE but not WRONG, and therefore nothing to stress over.
He had picked up the toothbrush again, a big smile on his face since he was proud and happy that he got to help his sister and also a bit happy that she'd fussed over him, even if he wouldn't say so and often got impatient with it.
THIS WAS A GOOD DAY.
Soon enough, West had done the front teeth and was ready to start on the ones around the sides, still carefully, and he had to angle his wrist a bit differently, which made it even more obvious that it was a good thing he'd got his gloves softened. Made it easier to grip the toothbrush TOO.
Stan just stayed catatonic.
Or whatever it was the little guy was doing.

"It--is--NOT--FUNNY!" he yelled, face flushed. All his body was shaking. "I nearly had a heart-attack!" How would she feel if he had DIED here because of her SILLY joke, huh? Would she still clean that bloody plant?!
Getting up while he fixed himself, he growled at the girl. If looks could kill, she was dead.
Stupid Ravenclaw! Good thing he had been too perplexed to use his wand!

She didn't know what the proper Plant Dental procedure was, so she decided to brush first, then floss. That's what she did at home, followed by a good mouth wash. She took a loooooooong piece of the minty twine and made sure Sid's mouth stayed open. She didn't want to have to keep pausing to open it up, but she also didn't want to have it come down on her hands.
She threaded the floss between his big teeth and made sure she got all the ick that was there. There wasn't much but she didn't want Sid's teeth to rot. She did it for all of his teeth and looked at the end result. Not bad.

Messer' eyes still glued to the plant. They teeth. Man! That's pretty scary. Not that he's afraid. No. He's not afraid. Right?
Okay Messer Professor said its sedated. So its save. Slowly the Hufflepuff walked toward where the Professor put the fanged geraniums. "Nice plants." he grabbed one and walked back to his work table.
Toothbrush? Check. And the Professor said they don;t need any toothpaste only dry toothbrush. Okie dokie. Get to work Messer. He took a few steps closer to the fanged geraniums and began to brush the teeth gently.

Looking around frantically as more people paired up, Cass frowned as she bit her lip while trying to see if there were still any other students that didn't have a partner.
Oh please, please, pleaseee. Let there be at least one!
"Who else needs a partner?" She called out as she glanced around the busy room worriedly.
THEY WERE WHAT? WORKING WITH PIRANHA PLANTS?
O___O
That was just pure madness. Nessie almost screamed when she heard the professor calling out the instructions. She'd have to clean a plants teeth and according to her it was just a tad gross. At least she wasn't doing it alone. It was times like these she was greatful she was now her fourth year and not any younger.
The little puff waited a few moments wondering if anyone would come to partner with her but no one did. So having no choice she shyly looked around the classroom trying to find someone anyone. It was then that she saw a familiar blonde looking girl that called out for a partner. Good. She had found someone,
A little hesitantly, the red head walked up to the taller Slytherin. She found it a little intimidating as she wasn't fond of the snakes but she needed a partner and it was her only choice. "I..I do?" she said in almost a whisper.
What if he did something wrong? What if his hands slipped and he accidentally hurt the plant? What if it woke up then? It was going to eat them! Him first and then Louisa! Or maybe the other way round. Since she was right in front of it now.
Closing his eyes for a moment to take yet another deep breath, Lewis tried not to think too much about what he was doing and where his hands were. Okay, he could do this. This was going to be fine. They were both going to be perfectly fine.
His eyes fluttered open again and focused on her when she muttered something about the plant looking scary. "Try holding its mouth open..." Now THAT was scary. And he wasn't even allowed to shudder like she was doing now. Because then he might just hurt the plant and wake it up. If that was possible.
Couldn't they just work on those other plants too? On those that didn't look THAT scary.
Lewis stared right back when she met his gaze, not wanting to look down at what he was holding or else he was pretty sure the panic that was slowly rising inside of him might just...make him run out of the class. The lips? He wrinkled his nose and glanced down for a second so he could shift his hands a little to do as Louisa had asked him to.
UGH! Couldn't she just hurry?!
Louisa narrowed her eyes seriously as Lewis' hands pushed the lips out of her way. Wow, this boy was obedient and had no chance of arguing with her. He was a first in her long sixteen years of productively argumentative life. Without hesitation she moved the brush upward as she ordered just a minute ago and started brushing, a bit nervously too. Diagonal motion seemed to get a bit smoother than a minute ago so she started the horizontal mot-
"EEEWWWWW!" The brush was flying above in the air and Louisa was flailing her arms, jumping away from the plant too. "I touched the lip! I touched the lip!!! EWWWW" FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL. D: The brush made a CLANK! nearby and it brought Louisa back to earth a bit. She eyed the plant disgustedly.
It wasn't awake yet, was it?
Moving on to grab the brush again, she gulped and held it tightly in her hands again. "Sorry." Her cheeks slightly flushed at her silly cowardy reaction, "I'm ready again..." She had only one side left to attend to anyways... maybe they could just ignore the flossing part?

This was SO COOL!!!
As she followed the rest of the class to the plants with teeth, Lea had a wide smirk on her face. Plants were awesome, plants with teeth were the awesomest!!! She could not wait for the time when she was going to care for one. Maybe Professor Bentley would let her have her own plant with teeth.
''Oh la la la la!!!''
Yes, she was in a good mood. She was in a better mood when she saw the fanged geranium that she was supposed to tend to. Smirking, she wore her gloves and gently petted the geranium. ''Hello cute thing!!! Now i am going to brush your pretty teeth!!!''
Hehehe...
But first she had to make a preparation for perfect results. So, she looked for her own toothbrush for the plant and minty flossing twine. Once she got them both, she started to examine the teeth carefully, trying to decide where to begin.
Oichi sat at her work station and caught her breath for a moment. She had smelled it now, she knew what to expect. She went for another go. I've got this, it's just brushing teeth, brushing gross teeth that really need it er tooth Oichi lunged foward with her tooth brush in hand and then reapplied some tooth paste and the put the brush to a fang and started to scrub. There was icky tooth gook all over her tooth brush in less then a minute.Ewe, gross, now I gotta wash the tooth brush of this stuff. Oichi backed away from the plant and as she did this time she noticed it was sleeping. Wow, thats cool, a living, breathing, sleeping, plant.

Right, sooo... Flesh eating plants. Brilliant. One of those things actually could come in handy...
Ahem.
But why did he need a partner? Partners were overrated. And annoying. And just... a dumb idea. Milton was independent and wanted to work on his own. Ugh. He wouldn't be so bothered if there were more attractive girls in this class, but at the moment, he couldn't find anyone that was free.
SIGH. Life was SO difficult.
"I need a partner!" he announced loudly. So, offer yourselves up, slaves.

Once she was done observing the teeth, Lea started to get to work having chosen to start with the upper teeth of the pretty and cool plant. Smiling to herself and to the plant, she happily picked up the plant toothbrush.
''Let's clean you.''
And she was going to do it well. Ignoring everyone around her, Lea focused only on the upper teeth of the fanged geranium and started to brush the upper teeth with the toothbrush carefully and gently.
''How does that feel, Gera?''
Yes that was what she was going to call her fanged geranium. But then she got an idea. Stopping the brushing, she looked up at the professor. ''Professor Bentley! I named my fanged geranium. It's Gera but i am not sure if it is a he or she. Could you please tell me?''
"I'm Nora," she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you."
When Aurora mentioned something about the holding and the brushing, Nora knew the answer even before the older girl finished her question. "I'll hold it, if you don't mind." Yes, she knew they were sedated, but she was still freaking out. "Maybe then we can switch places and I'll do the flossing?" That seemed reasonable enough, right?
Nora, right. Aurora nodded and committed the name to memory.
AWESOME! This meant Aurora got to BRUSH! She grinned and held the toothbrush tightly. "Ready when you are."
And... GO! Aurora began gently, brushing the front teeth and whispering nice things to the plant as she did so. Well, they had to be reassured, right?

Hearing Lea's loud and of course, enthusiastic voice, Seren turned to see what mischief the little Lion was getting up to. She grinned upon hearing Lea had named her geranium.. so sweet. "Well... it's actually both."

Now that the mouth was open it was time to brush it's teeth. Minerva picked up the tooth brush the plants teeth. She looked around like she had lost something. Well she had the tooth brush, but didn't they need toothpaste. Minerva looked around "Hey Harvs, where's the toothpaste?" They had to have toothpaste, right? How would the plants get the clean fresh feel in their mouth if they didn't use toothpaste. She picked up the tooth brush and examined it, maybe it already had the paste on it. She put it up to her nose and sniffed. NOPE no toothpaste. Minerva was at a loss that maybe she missed a step or something, but her concentration was taken from the toothpaste when she heard a snap and looked down at her plant. "Umm Mr. Fang I don't think you should be waking up, yet.."
"Professor... Professor Bentley, my plant seems to be waking up.. If you wouldn't mind could you put my Mr. Fangs, I mean my plant back to sleep, I would rather not be a meal today." she then looked at Harvey again, "I can't believe it just woke up like that." she giggled a bit, of course it would happen to her.
One thing was for certain: Silvia was not letting one of these plants into her house, not even into the far corner of the yard; they were a little creepy. She would stick with normal, muggle plants if she wanted a little green to decorate with.
She made her way over to the workbench with the fanged geraniums, gloves already on, and took a good look at the plant. Just to be extra safe, she stood as far back from the plant as possible while still keeping it within arms reach. Carefully, she reached forward and opened its mouth wide. The smell wasn't too pleasant and she didn't want to know just whose flesh the plant had been eating. At least she didn't have to work with those other, even larger flesh-eating plants. She reached for the toothbrush to begin her work.

But see, the thing is, it was funny. Though Aspen didn't LAUGH out loud, in fact, she let her hair fall in front of her face to hide her amusement.
But it was amusing.
And funny.
And, let's face it, deserving. See Slytherin? You get TWO lessons today.
You're welcome, Love Ravenclaw.
She remained entirely obtuse and stoic to his yelling and continued on with shiny-ing up the plants chompers. It was almost time to floss.
"I'm not laughing," she finally answered, as if he was making an irrelevant comment. Aspen turned to offer her Slytherin counterpart the brush, but couldn't help notice a Ravenclaw boy needing a partner. Aspen would take him if no one else did. She tried to catch his eyes while she unrolled a bit of flossy rope.

She put it up to her nose and sniffed. NOPE no toothpaste. Minerva was at a loss that maybe she missed a step or something, but her concentration was taken from the toothpaste when she heard a snap and looked down at her plant. "Umm Mr. Fang I don't think you should be waking up, yet.."
"Professor... Professor Bentley, my plant seems to be waking up.. If you wouldn't mind could you put my Mr. Fangs, I mean my plant back to sleep, I would rather not be a meal today." she then looked at Harvey again, "I can't believe it just woke up like that." she giggled a bit, of course it would happen to her.
Naaww, it was just a fanged geranium, all they could do was nibble you a little at worst, but no matter... little Puff would have her piece of mind. "Of course," she replied diligently, pulling a small vial out of her robes.
Removing it's cap, she used to attached dropper to drip a single drop of the sedative formula to the base of the plant. "There, all done."
It appeared as though some students still hadn't paired up, or were having difficulty spotting each other in the crowd perhaps. "If you don't have a partner yet, then either come and see me, or alternatively form a group of three."
Seeing also that some students were nearing completion of their task she added, "Once you have finished the task, and have tidied your workspace, cleaned and placed the equipment in the stores cupboard... you may be dismissed."

Harvey was still cleaning the teeth of his geranium.. still alternating between being a bit forceful and being soft depending on how clean the teeth were getting.. just then Minnie asked him a question.. and he stopped brushing instantly as he realised that she had a valid question.. he then looked at his brush blankly.. how could he have not thought of that!! It was like the most obvious thing in the world!
He then looked at Minnie "Er.. well I think that since we havent been provided with it I guess we dont need it.. cause I guess the mint flossing twine takes the place of the toothpaste." he answered her smiling.. he was about to ask for Professor Bentley to ask that question when he heard a snap and looked at her geranium.. it seemed to be waking up.. she too thought that it shouldnt and told the geranium that.. but Harvey doubted that the geranium would instantly go back to sleep just cause Minnie said so. She then asked for Professor Bentley to put her plant back to sleep
"Well I guess that he wanted to meet you properly.. you know when he is not sleeping.. so that he could thank you later for looking after his teeth so well" he chuckled as he heard her giggle.. and watched Professor Bentley put her geranium back to sleep thus allowing her to carry on looking after the geranium's teeth

She grinned and held the toothbrush tightly. "Ready when you are."
