Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It was chilly, wasn't it?

Pulling his robes a little tighter around him, Grayson made his way down towards the greenhouses. He'd been here before, of course, thanks to his wandering around so it wasn't too hard to find the right location. That didn't mean that the boy wasn't going to take his sweet old time in getting here. Who wanted to be mega early for a lesson on plants? Exactly. Not him.

But then again, a big part of him wanted to learn about the dangerous plants; the plants that were dangerous and had a keen sense to devour things. THOSE were the plants he wanted to learn about. Not the namby pamby ones. The sign for this lesson had been a weird one. Common sense? Who'd forget to bring THAT?! Jeez.

Reaching the right greenhouse where there were a number of students and a blonde woman standing outside, Grayson came to a stop and looked over at the blonde woman in particular. "Hello Professor!" He didn't have to introduce himself, did he? Because that wasn't going to happen. He had brought the necessary items, though: dragon hide gloves, note-taking implements and a smile that was currently buried somewhere deep inside his soul.

Whoa!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, everyone kinda needed to MOVE because this had to be the most epic thing she'd seen all day. Lex ungraciously shoved her way to the front of the crowd gathering at the entrance to this particular greenshouse. It was all much too exciting for her to stand out here like this and she thought maybe they were all just being pansies standing around. Apparently not though. The Professor was blocking the entrance to the flesh eaters.

"G'morning Professor!!" Lex said BEAMING at the woman. WERE THEY GOING TO FEED THE FLESH EATERS??? She already had her list of victims, just give her a second to fish it from her back!!!!

The Gryffindor was practically bouncing on the balls of her feet, trying to sneak a peek inside every now and then.

"Are we doing snargaluffs today? Gonna see those dragon trees you mentioned? Am I gonna need a firstie sacrifice partner?" Yes? YES? YES? When could they go inside? The cold wasn't bothering her, nah, movement produced heat and right now she was doing a lot of that. It was the anticipation.

Herbology! This class was interesting to learn. I mean he would want to know about vicious plants. As he made his way to the classroom, he noticed there was a chill to the air. He moved his scarf closer to his neck. He didn't like the wind. Once inside the classroom, he saw other students made it here. He nodded to all of them. Then he saw the professor and he smiled and nodded. "Good morning Professor, i hope all things are well.."

He managed to find his seat near the front and started to warm up his hands a little bit. He breathed into them making them feel better. It was starting to get colder out that is for sure. He took out his notebook and quill getting prepared for what they were gonna learn.

STOMPSTOMP!

Kyroh stomped his way through the grounds as he made his way over to the greenhouses for his first Herbology lesson ever.

It was pretty apparent that the first year was super excited. It wasn't that he was good with plants or anything (although he did like cucumbers) but his papa had told him that the professor was really nice and that he had to behave in her class. So he was ready, ready to behave an everything, even if it was a bit chilly outside. He pushed his way to the front until he was beside that other girl from the boats!

"Hi Professor! It's a little cold out. But i'm still here. I'm Kyroh Scabior. What's your name?" Kyroh asked, words rushing out of his mouth. Hi. He was here, and he was ready to listen.

Why were there so many greenhouses?

Also, he turned to the Gryffindor girl from the boat. She just had on a sweater! "You look cold. You want a cloak? You can have mine if you want." Cause he wasn't that cold. Kyroh was used to the Scottish fall anyways.

Having already been out for a run earlier in the morning, Sophie knew better than to trudge down to the greenhouse in normal wear. There were multiple layers of warmth under her robes, and she already had her gloves on. Totally prepared today.

She was even more grateful for her preparedness when she saw that everyone was lining up outside and she could actually SEE people shivering as she neared the group. Poor kids. "Good morning, professor," Sophie greeted cheerfully, gravitating toward Benjy and standing beside him silently. What would they be doing today, hm? Something better than those topiaries?

Glad to see other students arriving, Cris kept his place in line even as he smiled first at Bay when he joined the line, followed closely by Jasmine and lastly, Lux. When Lux made a comment about the weather, Cris shivered involuntarily. He loved Fall just as much as he loved being out in the cold.....when he was moving around. Standing in line trying to be as stationary as possible was another matter.

"It does feel a little chilly. Maybe it's because we're not actively doing something," Cris leaned over to softly whisper in reply. He glanced over at Jasmine to see how she was doing, slowly mouthing "Are you warm enough?" to her. If need be, he would offer his warm jacket for her to wear.

Continuing to bounce on her feet, Lux nodded at what Cris was saying. "Totally. Hopefully working will warm me up a little. I was not meant for chilly weather." Winter was the worst time for her; she always had to bundle up so much just to stay warm. The only good thing about it was all the snow, which was pretty. Oh, and skating and skiing were fun too!

As Bay took off his sweater and offered it to her, she gladly took it. He was such a good boyfriend. "Are you sure you aren't cold?" Even though he had a long-sleeved shirt, that didn't mean he wasn't feeling the temperature. Lux did not want Bay to turn into an ice cube.

Putting the sweater on, she instantly started to feel warmer.

Was he late? Adi had lost track of time because he had been reading an interesting book on hippogriffs. But now he arrived at the Greenhouse, breathing slightly heavier than usual as he had jogged all the way out here. And why was it cold? Hmmm...

"Hi, Professor!'' Adi said to the woman. "Hope all's well with you.'' He turned to look for Benny who was no doubt already there but he caught sight of Ethan. "Hey, Mr. Smithereens!'' Grinning, he stuck out his hand. Fist bump, Mr. Cool dude?

Adi turned to Benny. "Hey, old dragon.'' Grin.

She wasn't late? Good, that was a relief. AJ had managed to get a free pass from the Astronomy professor, but she decided that she didn't need to press her luck. Who knew how her head of house would handle the situation. It was freezing, and she was ready to get inside as quick as she could.

As she made her way inside her eyes landed on the professor. "Hello head of house professor ma'am." Was her sisters already here? Abby had an excuse not to wait on her, but it seemed like even though AJ and Angel were in the same house they were never making it to the lessons together. Oh well, she spotted the two older boys that she got along well with and made her way over to them. "Hey guys!" The first year couldn't wait to see what magical plant they were going to be working with. Personally she hoped it had teeth.

Snoooooooooooooooooooore. Herbology. SnOOOOOOORE.

It was enough to get Theodore in a mood on its own, but the fact that it was so cold out made it even more unbearable. He had a thick coat on and his arms folded during his whole journey down to the greenhouses. Was he allowed to apparate to classes? Theo hadn't ever tried that... huh... that was an experiment for another day, though, because he was finally here.

"Hi, Professor." Theo's voice droned a bit.

Gareth didn't like being bothered to get out of his bed when there was such a chill outside so he was not in best of his moods as he walked to this greenhouse place. He marched there ignoring everyone around and stood at the end of the line. Nope. No greetings for anyone and the professor was included.

Hands in pockets, the Slytherin boy was just eyeing the people around as usually with his unimpressed expression yet hearing this "Professor, i brought you some hot tea" made him look up towards that direction. What? How ridiculous. Gareth snorted at the Gryffindor boy rather loudly and spoke with a high enough tone. "Oh...what a brown noser."

Zander shivered a little as he made his way to Herbology. Off in the distance he could see his professor standing right outside of the greenhouse entrance and by the looks of it she was a little cold too. Definitely not the only one. As he got closer to the greenhouse he put on a small smile because Herbology wasn't half bad. In fact, it was more like half good. Maybe even more than just half good. It was good. Herbology was nice. There were no intense spells involved, you didn't have to clean everything every five seconds, no lint rollers at the door, and you weren't forced to make up random predictions. Yeah, Herbology was actually pretty great. Not to mention the fact that the professor was head of Gryffindor house. Yes, that helped. Zander's shy smile matched his soft eyes as he walked pass his professor. "Hi Professor, kind of chilly this morning isn't it? I hope you're doing well." He lingered around long enough for a response, and then headed towards the collection of other students.

Herbology. The one class you got to stick your hands in mud and around deadly plants. What's not to like?

Maybe that it was outside. And it was fairly cold, even though it was only October. But that was okay. He probably should have brought a scarf, but the thought hadn't occurred to Aidan until he left the Common Room fire's side and was already three floors down. He might've been late if he'd turn around. Then he wouldn't have gotten a prime seat near his friends.

...Or prime standing spot so they could sit together. Hi Lex.

Mo was a big fan of Herbology, and he was a pretty big fan of the no nonsense teaching style of Professor Bentley, so he was happy to be approaching the greenhouse for his first Herbology lesson of his last term. Lots of professors could be strict, but Bentley managed to keep them all contained without bullying them. That was impressive.

"Hey, Professor. Bit brisk this morning, isn't it?" He nodded politely at the professor when he found her waiting for them outside the greenhouse.

Agatha walked towards Greenhouse eight with her beeeeeeeeautiful hair waving behind her. "Hello, professor." She greeted the older witch when she arrived, making sure her hair still looked alright.

"Hi, Candice." She gave her little friend a wave as she stood near her. She also spotted some other people she knew. Mostly Slytherins oh hello Head Boy, but didn't directly talk to them. As she waited for class to start, Agatha wondered if she was going to like the subject or not. She really had no idea what to think of it.

Marisol walked into the greenhouse. It sure was a refreshing change of the weather she'd experienced while walking to class. When exactly did it get cold out? The first year tugged on her cap to cover her more and stretched her robes as to not expose her skin.

It was really much colder inside. Maybe it had to do with the Greenhouse Effect. Mari wasn't a scientist, but she'd heard about climate change and such. Today she was glad for it.

This young blonde must be the professor and the Gryffindor Head, if Marisol wasn't mistaken. The brunette had seen this lady at the staff table. It seemed as if most of the instructors at Hogwarts were still quite young and good-looking, with the exception of that Ancient Runes guy. No offense intended to him, of course.

"Good morning," Mari greeted her teacher. "I'm Marisol Cruz."

While he was standing with his friends he heard someone call someone a brown noser and because so far he was the only person to offer their Professor a hot beverage he looked over at the boy.. pffttttt typical, he was a Slytherin student. "you want to keep staring mate?" why was this kid looking at him with such loathing. geeeezz… Bay didn't do anything to him.

He wasn't going to comment back on the brown nosier thing because it would just make things worse. Turning his back to him he tried his best to ignore the kid and talk with his friends and girlfriend instead. yeah he was mr.highroad, he should feel proud. He started to beam.

Excuse me?

Frown on her face, Lux glared at the boy who was being rude to Bay. And who did he think he was? "He isn't a suck up, he is a nice person. You are being rude." They were in class, so she needed to be nice, but she was not happy that this guy was being rude to her boyfriend.

Herbologyyyy!

Sophie actually enjoyed Herbology, because the subject had a nice link to all the other subjects. Plus, she knew a lot about plants, since her mother was a Potions Mistress and brewed with plants all the time.

Walking up to the classroom area, Sophie saw the professor and gave her a smile. "Hello, Professor," she said. Then she joined the other students standing around in waiting for things to get underway.

Michael didn't think it was that cold. It wasn't even winter yet and already most of the students were bouncing around as though their fingers and toes were about to fall off.

It was rather funny. He threw the Professor a quick smile. "Morning Professor." He moved over to the other students and stood beside a young Slytherin. "You appear to be shrinking Newell." He gave her a little nudge with his elbow.

Oh look, it was Olly's favorite class.

So, where was she, hmm? Maybe if Schuyler started plucking up some blades of grass or a stray wildflower, Olly would come out of the woodwork to scold her. She actually was contemplating doing this when she heard some Slytherin boy call one of her fellow Lions a brown-noser.

And.... well, Schuyler couldn't help but let a short laugh escape her throat.

Only because it was kind of the truth, you know. Warm tea for the prof. That diiiid look like some major sucking up right there. Sorry, Bay.

Slightly disappointed that the other Lion hadn't taken the bait on the brown-nosing dig, Schuyler shrugged her robes closer and was about to look elsewhere when some Hufflepuff took said bait FOR the Gryffindor. Really? Letting someone else do the fighting for him? Sigh.

This was entertaining, though. Good, entertaining start to Herbology this morning. So Schuyler stood back and watched.

They were hardly into the term and Ascanius was already over it. Was this how the entire term was going to be? Seventh year boredom about every single subject? At least in previous years he could get excited about Herbology 'cause Bentley was fit and a treat to eye up all class.

...he just wasn't as into as it usual.

He had been sort of distracted lately, which didn't help.

Walking into the Greenhouse, he lazily smirked without any enthusiasm and said, "Hello Professor. You look lovely." Ugh. His heart just wasn't in it.

Caleb had to admit, Herbology wasn't THAT bad. It was usually easy for him, and it was nice to deal with nature and stuff for a while. But he couldn't do it as a CAREER or anything.

Still, he showed up with a smile on his face. "Hello Professor," he said to Bentley politely as he took his seat.

Cris frowned when someone made a comment calling Bay a brown noser just because he had brought Bentley some tea. If only that person had known, he, Cris had offered to make the Professor a whole pot!! But that was because he felt bad for making her have to come to his rescue.

Seeing that Lux had told off the kid, Cris decided to remain silent choosing to give the offender a disapproving look before turning his attention back to the Professor.

Herbology. Eh, not her favorite class. But, she figured that she might as well go. Learn something. Get ready for NEWTS at the end of the year.

Joining the rest of the class, Layla had to wonder why they were meeting outside the greenhouse. It would be warmer inside, wouldn't it? Unless this was the greenhouse with the more dangerous plants. Then she didn't want to be anywhere near it.

"Hello, professor." Could they get inside now, please.
