Default The Greenhouses: Herbology Lesson One

Herbology Lesson One

Was it just her? Or was it a little chilly outside this morning? Seren stood outside the entrance to Greenhouse Eight waiting patiently for the students to assemble. Pulling down on the sleeve of her black work robes, Seren fixed it closer to her skin and held it in the already gloved palm of her hands. Her gaze fell to a patch of grass only feet away where its frost had not yet been disturbed by footprints. At least it would be nicer inside. Much, much nicer.

Lesson Progression:

Gloves on! Leave foodstuff outside! Hint hint hint
What be these bushes?
Weigela and ... ???
Brainstorm Care Requirements!
Feeding TIME!
Last feeding! Dung! Water! Immobilisation!
Flesh-Eating Fir!
Stupefy the Snargaluff on your way out!
OOC: The lesson has started. 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.

Another lesson, more points to earn, more homework to expect. JUST what Beverly has been looking forward to. It exercised her mind and kept her knowledge fresh. Not that she'd forget anything she learned. Nope. One she learned stuff they usually stuck. Well. There was last years incident with the aging situation, but she wasn't dwelling on that. No purposely anyway.

Upon entering the greenhouse, Beverly shuddered at the temperature change and rubbed her hands together. It was nicer in here. Proceeding onward, she shot the professor and shy grin. "Good day, Professor Bentley." More topiary projects? No? They've been fun.

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.
Were they going to inside the Greenhouse soon? Candice pulled her sweater a little tighter around. She was busy trying to get herself warm, when she saw the boy from the boat. Oh. He's a Ravenclaw? Good for him.

You look cold? She was. Cloak? He was offering her his cloak? "I...Yes, please." If he's not feeling cold and not really need it, she could really used a cloak.

The eleven year old saw Agatha walking toward her. "Hey, Agatha. how are you?" And did someone just say something about tea?

The moment he sighted Professor Bentley, he smiled and made his way down to her.

"Hello Professor Bentley. It's good to see you again," he smiled in greeting as he got closer to her. Looking around he realized he was the first student here. Not knowing what to do, he just stood there waiting with the Professor occasionally glancing over at her before glancing away.

Should he make small talk while they waited?
From their meeting in the student garden, Seren could tell he was an eager beaverbadger, so it came as no surprise to see he was among the first - and THE fist - to make it down for today's lesson. "Hello Cris, it's good to see you too," she grinned. The temptation to ask if he'd been attacked by any more plants since they'd last met was too great, but she refrained from doing so, not wanting to jinx the boy for today's lesson.

Was he early? Again?

Maybe he should try to be late…just to make things interesting.

Ethan shook his head and smiled again as he took his position behind the older boy. “Good day, Professor Bentley! I’m EthanTylerMordaunt. New kid.” Haaaaaai! The young Slytherin turned his attention to the older boy. “Hola!” Waaaves for you, young sir!
The exuberant and muchly appreciated greeting from a Slytherin boy was all that was needed to set her off beaming again, and now she didn't have to trouble herself with making general chit chat with the Hufflepuff. With other students arriving such conversations would die quickly, which would only amount to awkwardness in the end.

"Good morning," she replied, flashing her pearly whites and bouncing on the spot. Positive energy was contagious, did he know? "It's an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance Ethan..." the rest of the name escaped her in the quick fashion the boy had enunciated it.

"Hello Professor Bentley" he said as he held out the container "I brought you some hot tea" giving her a smile he was glad that he had brought himself a sweater it was indeed a bit chilly, he put his hands in his pockets to warm them up a little bit.
Seeing Bay cross the grounds, Seren waited for him to near before returning the greeting. "Morning Bay!" and what was that?... Aaaaaawwwwwww. "Thank youuuuu, that's very sweet of you," she replied accepting the container and twisting off the cap. Her hands were still cold despite the gloves, and she could never say no to tea, especially where waiting fo students was concerned. "Would you like some too?" she asked, she was more than happy to duplicate the cup if that was the case, they could all share in the joy of warm tea on a chilly morning.

"Good morning, Angel," Seren greeted one of her first year Lions. She was still concerned for the girl, and would be keeping an eye on her this lesson. Yep.

Although, certain aspects of it were gaining improvement in spite of, or actually DUE to these misconceptions of his.

He resumed a seat like normal, feeling at peace but not at all looking it. In fact, he looked almost stern. His leave me 'lone face.
"G'morning Cutty," Seren replied to the somewhat reserved Slytherin as they waited for the others to arrive.

I'm new to Hogwarts and I'm looking forward to my first class with you.".

Seeing that Cris and Bay had already arrived, Jasmine gave them both a wave. She was feeling especially cheerful this morning and hoped that her good mood would last throughout the day. She wondered what kind of activity the Professor had planned for them today.
Seeing new and unfamiliar faces was always exciting, and it was even more exciting when these faces introduced themselves without her having to find out by other means. "Good morning dear," she returned the greeting, before bowing her head slightly as introductions were given. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jasmine, I hope today's lesson is to your liking." It was most certainly to her liking, but that much was a given.

Aaaaawww, such a sweet little Lion. Seren beamed with pride. Of course, naturally, she knew the young girls name, had it already committed to memory from the sorting ceremony. "Good morning, and welcome to herbology," she greeted, offering the girl a small wink.

It was almost like having another pet and Conrad couldn't pay it much mind by being jealous.

Making his way down to the greenhouses, it was a little chilly. It seemed autumn was starting to cool and move further away from its warmer predecessor. Boo. Brushing it aside for now, needing to focus on the class, he acknowledged the woman standing there at the entrance outside. "Good morning, Professor Bentley."
And more of her Lions were gracing her with their presence, and in a timely manner too. Excellent. "Good morning Benjamin," Seren returned the greeting, smiling brightly at the Gryffindor.

A grin spread across the blonde lions face as she found other students already there and seemingly as excited as she was about this lesson. She didn't see anyone yet that she knew but she would wait who knew maybe she could make a friend this term.
And no greeting from Mackenzie? Seren was mildly disappointed, but figured the energy of the assembled group was a sufficient enough distraction, so she didn't take it personally, instead she continued to sip the tea Bay had gotten for her.

But Jun just grabbed the closest shirt he could find in his trunk and headed out the door. And good thing his bag wasn't too heavy today either. It would just keep rising his sweater up from his hip and make him colder. Reaching the greenhouses, the boy noticed that there weren't many students here yet. Good, he'll probably get a good spot.

Even if he was taller than most of them anyway

"Hello Professor," He greeted his herbology prof and joined the other students. Let's hope they were working inside today.
Oooohhhhhhh, it was Jun. Heheee. Seren had gotten hold of the Apparecium article, and it was rather amusing if she could say so herself. As a result, the grin she wore was in part due to that, as well as the general cheer she felt at the beginning of this lesson.

"Good morning, Jun," she returned the greeting.

"Hello, professor. My name's Bryant." Pleasantries aside now, he stood off to the side of the main group, watching and waiting.

Herbology... one of two classes where it was socially acceptable to be around dung... definitely not his favorite class.
Wonderful! More greetings with names she wouldn't have to guess at or tiptoe around. "Lovely to meet you Bryant, welcome to herbology!" aka, the best class ever in the world... though she was probably most definitely biased. No matter.

Joining the group forming outside the greenhouse, Benjy shoved his hands in his pockets. They'd better all be standing out here for a reason, and not just being sheep behind some firstie too nervous to go inside.
Seeing more students arrive, Seren assessed the features of the Ravenclaw that tagged onto the back of the line. He didn't look too pleased as yet, but she was confident that would all change soon. Good moods were infectious, and there was plenty of that around.

She caught sight of Professor Bentley and made her way a little closer, offering a quick wave and a "Mornin' Professor." By way of greeting...
The waving is what first caught her attention, even as she sipped the tea she'd received. Lowering her cup, Seren gave a smaller wave so as not to spill anything and replied with a cheerful, "and good morning to you too."

... ... ....

Was the girl sick? Seren was by no means a germophobe, but she wasn't particularly keen on receiving whatever bug the girl had. "Perhaps a trip to the infirmary might be in order," she noted, eyes on the tissues... yep.

Seeing the Professor and the rest of his classmates in front of the building, he ignored his fellow students. Didn't even made eye contact with then. The Professor though did get a greeting. She is his Head of House after all and after last year he knew he should play it safe around her. "Hello..." now, could they get inside? It was cold!
.... Great mother of Circe.

"Kevin," she started, eyes on the Gryffindor. "You have... something on your forehead, did you know?" she asked, curiously. She was still in a spirited mood, and though she was amused, Kevin didn't seem to share that feeling. Best not push him for details.

Maddie didn't get what the big WHOOP was about plants but she WAS sort of interested in the more dangerous ones. She'd read that some even had FANGS and THAT was WICKED. And so after making sure that she had everything she needed for the lesson, Maddie made her way down to the greenhouses.

Noting that a group was forming, the small brunette navigated her way around students until she could see the professor properly. Short person here, yeah? She deserved a good spot. "Hello Professor." The blonde woman got a small smile and then Maddie spotted the Toad Guy from the common room and she sidled over to him. Sticking her hand under her chin, she wiggled her fingers in greeting and smiled. YO.
The little people, first years, were absolutely adorable. And as a result of this, Seren was having a difficult time preventing herself from hugging them all. This one though, was not one of hers... and nor did she know the girls name, so she could hardly greet her properly. Shame. "Welcome to herbology, dear," she settled with. Bright smiles and all.

Herbology was always a lesson that Toby looked forward to.
She'd been wondering where her top students were, when finally Toby showed his face. Seren returned his cheerful wave with one of her own, she was rather excited for this lesson to get started.

A quick inspection of her watch - whilst sipping tea - indicated to her that they still had some time for the stragglers to come.

Its freeeeeeeeezing. She already wore thick sweater and all that but she still feeling a bit chilly. Candice saw her Head of House was standing outside the Greenhouse. They're not going inside the greenhouse? "G..Goo..od..Morrrr...ning, Professor." Please excuse her shivered.
Noticing little Candice arrive, Seren offered her a small but apologetic smile. It was early, and it was cold... the poor girl. "Morning dear," she greeted, refilling her cup with the tea from the container. "Here, have this to warm you up," she offered, holding it out for her to take.

Bay had been generous to bring it for her, but she'd had her fill of tea, some of the other students would benefit from it more than her, and Candice was a prime example of that.

She spotted who she assumed was the professor and waved cheerfully before retreating to where the crowd of students was gathered.
And more new faces! This was trully exciting, and they all looked so bright eyed and eager to get started... aaaahhhhhhhhh ... this was simply delightul.

Opting to return the girls wave instead of yelling a greeting over the top of other students, Seren offered the girl a bright smile too. Welcome!

"Hello Professor Bentley." Gwen waved slightly before folding her arms back together. They were going to go inside, weren't they? This was Gwen's second worst class. She was terrible with plants. Having lived two places in her life, both of which were cities, she didn't know much about them. Only that her mother kept flowers sometimes inside, and none of them lived very long. But, she was determined to figure it out. She had six more years to do it.
Of course, the familiar faces were just as nice to see as those that were new, and this Ravenclaw's was no exception. "Good morning Gwen, enjoyed your summer break?" she asked idly, smiling pleasantly while they waited for the last to arrive.

Spotting the Professor, she gave her a big smile because she always had liked Herbology and Professor Bentley. "Hello, Professor. How are you today?" Hopefully good besides the chilliness in the air.

Cris, Bay, Angel, and Jasmine were here already, which made her smile. "Hey, guys! Is it just me, or is it cold today?" Where was the nice weather? Rubbing her arms, she bounced on her feet and tried to get warmer.
Lux was always such a delight, with her bright personality and cheerful demeanour. A welcome addition to the group. "Hello, dear," she replied brightly, "I'm excellent, excited to get back into the swing of things... and yourself?" she asked.

"Pretty cold out today." Please tell her that they were going inside. Because if they had to work outside, her fingers were going to freeze. And the freckled faced girl kind of liked her fingers. They were useful for playing with her shoulder length hair and grabbing stuff. And for hitting people --mainly Spencer-- and for turning the pages of books. Yes, fingers were important.

"Hello... Professor." She was shivering. Small people got cold faster. Common fact. And the reason that the thin girl was obsessed with sweaters. The twelve year old huddled with the others outside of the greenhouse, trying to breathe warm breath into her small hands.
The little ones, were not handling the fall cold very well.... funny that. But considering it was their first year here, it was understandable. "Hello dear, we'll be going in soon..." she promised, yep... she wasn't going to let them freeze to death.

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.
This Slytherin wasn't sour per se.... but he could do with some lightening up, this much was evident. It was also a tad disappointing that he hadn't introduced himself as some of the others had done, so he would be known as Snake Boy for the time being. "Good morning, welcome to herbology," she greeted with a small smile.

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.
AHA! SEEE!... this was the level of excitement she was feeling on the inside, and that was slowly but surely creeping to the outside with the arrival of Lex. Her excitement was all that was needed to have her bouncing on the balls of her feet too. "Morning!" she was quick to reply to the Prefect, bright eyed and grinning. "All in good time, all in good time," she acknowledged. Snargaluffs were delightful, yes, but they'd done them not too long ago. So now it was time to explore some of the other varieties of flesh eaters. Weeeeee. "Looking after the first years is always a given," naturally, "so please do keep an eye out for them." Especially the tiny frail looking ones. Some of the trees liked crunching bones... and the bushes weren't averse to having a crack at it either.

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.
Still feeling the excitement that Lex and the others brought with them, Seren rocked on her feet, "Morning!" she trilled, bright smiles for the Hufflepuff. "Very well, very very well," she mused.

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.
And whoa whoa whoa .. this one had energy! Seren was thoroughly pleased, and perhaps a little amused that it was Dash's offspring with all the energy. The man himself was fairly reserved in that respect. "I know who you are," she mused with a wink. Having watched the sorting ceremony and all she knew he was here, but the fact that he'd been around the school when his father was here hadn't escaped her memory either. "I'm Professor Bentley," he supplied, though she'd have thought he knew that much already.

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?
And more delightful Ravenclaw's to join their little family huddled outside. Seren grinned brightly, "And to you Miss Brown," she replied fondly.

"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.
"Good morning Adi," Seren replied, offering the Hufflepuff a small wave as well. His enthusiastic greeting only made her feel warmer on the inside.

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.
It was perhaps a good thing she'd spent some time in Angel's company already, because it made telling the sisters apart somewhat easier. This one was most definitely not homesick and mopey... "Good morning Aubrey," she chuckled in reply to the girl's greeting. Head of House Professor ma'am? Okay.

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.
Ooohhhh.... ewww... negative energy! Seren smiled nonetheless, though it was more reseved than the others she had given. "Mister Kinsley," she greeted the Slytherin. She hoped everyone elses positive energy would rub off on the Snake, otherwise why he chose to sit through the subject was beyond her, it was no longer compulsory for him after all.

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.
But things were soon made better with the arrival of another valued Gryffindor. "Morning Zander," she replied warmly, "it most certainly is, the frost is already setting in... before we know it, winter will be upon us." Because time seemed to fly when one was at Hogwarts.

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.
No greeting from Mister Stone? That was a shame... but he didn't ooze negativity like some of the others, so Seren could overlook this. Yep.

"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.
As was habit when being caught slightly of guard, Seren found herself returning the greeting that was given to her. "Heeeeyy..." she replied, drawing it out some. "It most certainly is, but at least it makes for a good wake up call, don't you think?" And it was best they all be alert when they finally enter the greenhouse. Her favourite greenhouse -- not that she had favourites amongst her babies, except that she did.

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.
And my my my, someone was having a good hair day. "Good morning dear," Seren replied, perhaps taking a moment to admire the girl's shiny locks. What did she use? Flobberworm mucus? tea tree oil? a special blend of tea for rinsing?

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."
And another new face, one that was polite enough to introduce herself. Given the courtesy, it only made sense to return it. "Morning dear, welcome to herbology," she started, offering bright smiles, "I'm Professor Bentley."

Marisol... the name would be committed to memory now, for sure. Such a beautiful name for such a delightful young lady.

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."

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.

No... NO... NEGATIVE ENERGY WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING HERE!

"Ahem," she cleared her throat. "I'm inclined to agree with Lux on this one, unless you have somthing nice to say then you'd best keep your words to yourself young man," Seren mused, unimpressed by the boys negativity. Bay was simply being nice. She knew this, because he was HER Lion.... and because tea wasn't going to get anyone anything other than a friendly smile, a thank you, and the gesture returned.

"Two points from Slytherin for bringing negative energy to class and for being rude to your peers..." not to mention implicating her own character in the process.

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.
Miss Newell's presence was appreciated. She recieved a warm smile and a quick, "Hello dear," before her attention was drawn elsewhere... and it was nearly time to get started.

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.
"G'morning Michael," Seren replied to the young Lion.


And... they were ready now, yes?

...

...

But no, there were more on the horizon, so they could afford to wait a moment more.

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.
Noticing Schuyler arrive, Seren smiled to herself... it seemed as though she too had caught onto the drama that had been caused by the rude Slytherin.

...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.
There was something about Ascanius that was a little off today, even his usual greeting lacked zest. "Ascanius, always good to see you," she replied, wondering what had the boy so.... down.

Hopefully he would perk up as the lesson went on.

"Good morning Mister Newell," Seren replied kindly to the Slytherin. Good lad he was.

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.
It seemed as though enthusiasm wasn't a trait adopted by most Slytherin's which was a shame. But it mattered not, there were others she could share her enthusiasm with.

"Good morning, Layla," she replied politely, still smiling.

No purposely anyway.

Upon entering the greenhouse, Beverly shuddered at the temperature change and rubbed her hands together. It was nicer in here. Proceeding onward, she shot the professor and shy grin. "Good day, Professor Bentley." More topiary projects? No? They've been fun.
This Snake though, this one was one of those few exceptions... such a delightful young girl. "Hello Beverly," she greeted warmly, offering the girl a small wink.


And that was it. That was all the time they could afford to delay the beginning of the lesson. If anyone was late from here on in, then they would be held accountable.

"Gooooood morning everyone! Welcome to the first Herbology lesson of the term," she greeted, arms out as she addressed the masses. "For those of you knew to the school, my name's Professor Bentley, and for those of you who are returning, welcome back." For the time being she kept the door to the greenhouses closed and locked, very well secured, as they had a couple of things to discuss before getting their gloves dirty.

"Before we enter, could you all please put your gloves on if you haven't done so already, and leave any foodstuffs you have on your person outside. The only consumables you may bring into this greenhouse is water."

So... do those now kiddies... "Unless you feel like being eaten?" Perhaps a hint as to what they might be looking at today.

OOC: The lesson has officially started, no late arrivals please. The lesson will continue in approx 14 hours.

Marisol didn't like her gloves. They were old and had holes, which was probably dangerous. Especially if they were dealing with something that required absence of food. The eleven year-old didn't have food, so that wasn't an issue. This fact reminded her that she was extremely hungry.

This Herbology stuff was hit-the-ground-running material. Even though Mari was new to the country and its language, she understood the verb "eat". And no, it was not in her best interest to be eaten. She would not like to go to the hospital wing on her first official day of school!

Smiling at the Professor, Lux was so happy to be back at Hogwarts and in Herbology class. Professor Bentley was one of her favourite Professors because she was so nice, and this subject was cool too. "I am doing well, thank you." It was a shame that the mood had to be killed by that mean boy who couldn't tell that Bay was only being nice. Honestly.

She did not understand some people.

Drama dealt with, Lux was happy to jump right into the lesson. Rolling the sleeves of Bay's sweater up, she reached into her bag and took out her gloves. On her hands they went.

Wait. What?

THEY COULD BE EATEN?!

Nervously she raised her hand. "We won't REALLY be eaten will we, Professor?" An uncertain glance was sent towards the greenhouse.

"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.


"Sup, yo!" Ethan beamed at Adi and returned the fist bump. So cool, that kid was. And yes, yes. The Skateboarding stuff will happen soon. Soon!

From their meeting in the student garden, Seren could tell he was an eager beaverbadger, so it came as no surprise to see he was among the first - and THE fist - to make it down for today's lesson. "Hello Cris, it's good to see you too," she grinned. The temptation to ask if he'd been attacked by any more plants since they'd last met was too great, but she refrained from doing so, not wanting to jinx the boy for today's lesson.



The exuberant and muchly appreciated greeting from a Slytherin boy was all that was needed to set her off beaming again, and now she didn't have to trouble herself with making general chit chat with the Hufflepuff. With other students arriving such conversations would die quickly, which would only amount to awkwardness in the end.

"Good morning," she replied, flashing her pearly whites and bouncing on the spot. Positive energy was contagious, did he know? "It's an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance Ethan..." the rest of the name escaped her in the quick fashion the boy had enunciated it.



Seeing Bay cross the grounds, Seren waited for him to near before returning the greeting. "Morning Bay!" and what was that?... Aaaaaawwwwwww. "Thank youuuuu, that's very sweet of you," she replied accepting the container and twisting off the cap. Her hands were still cold despite the gloves, and she could never say no to tea, especially where waiting fo students was concerned. "Would you like some too?" she asked, she was more than happy to duplicate the cup if that was the case, they could all share in the joy of warm tea on a chilly morning.



"Good morning, Angel," Seren greeted one of her first year Lions. She was still concerned for the girl, and would be keeping an eye on her this lesson. Yep.



"G'morning Cutty," Seren replied to the somewhat reserved Slytherin as they waited for the others to arrive.



Seeing new and unfamiliar faces was always exciting, and it was even more exciting when these faces introduced themselves without her having to find out by other means. "Good morning dear," she returned the greeting, before bowing her head slightly as introductions were given. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jasmine, I hope today's lesson is to your liking." It was most certainly to her liking, but that much was a given.



Aaaaawww, such a sweet little Lion. Seren beamed with pride. Of course, naturally, she knew the young girls name, had it already committed to memory from the sorting ceremony. "Good morning, and welcome to herbology," she greeted, offering the girl a small wink.



And more of her Lions were gracing her with their presence, and in a timely manner too. Excellent. "Good morning Benjamin," Seren returned the greeting, smiling brightly at the Gryffindor.



And no greeting from Mackenzie? Seren was mildly disappointed, but figured the energy of the assembled group was a sufficient enough distraction, so she didn't take it personally, instead she continued to sip the tea Bay had gotten for her.



Oooohhhhhhh, it was Jun. Heheee. Seren had gotten hold of the Apparecium article, and it was rather amusing if she could say so herself. As a result, the grin she wore was in part due to that, as well as the general cheer she felt at the beginning of this lesson.

"Good morning, Jun," she returned the greeting.



Wonderful! More greetings with names she wouldn't have to guess at or tiptoe around. "Lovely to meet you Bryant, welcome to herbology!" aka, the best class ever in the world... though she was probably most definitely biased. No matter.



Seeing more students arrive, Seren assessed the features of the Ravenclaw that tagged onto the back of the line. He didn't look too pleased as yet, but she was confident that would all change soon. Good moods were infectious, and there was plenty of that around.



The waving is what first caught her attention, even as she sipped the tea she'd received. Lowering her cup, Seren gave a smaller wave so as not to spill anything and replied with a cheerful, "and good morning to you too."



... ... ....

Was the girl sick? Seren was by no means a germophobe, but she wasn't particularly keen on receiving whatever bug the girl had. "Perhaps a trip to the infirmary might be in order," she noted, eyes on the tissues... yep.



.... Great mother of Circe.

"Kevin," she started, eyes on the Gryffindor. "You have... something on your forehead, did you know?" she asked, curiously. She was still in a spirited mood, and though she was amused, Kevin didn't seem to share that feeling. Best not push him for details.



The little people, first years, were absolutely adorable. And as a result of this, Seren was having a difficult time preventing herself from hugging them all. This one though, was not one of hers... and nor did she know the girls name, so she could hardly greet her properly. Shame. "Welcome to herbology, dear," she settled with. Bright smiles and all.



She'd been wondering where her top students were, when finally Toby showed his face. Seren returned his cheerful wave with one of her own, she was rather excited for this lesson to get started.

A quick inspection of her watch - whilst sipping tea - indicated to her that they still had some time for the stragglers to come.



Noticing little Candice arrive, Seren offered her a small but apologetic smile. It was early, and it was cold... the poor girl. "Morning dear," she greeted, refilling her cup with the tea from the container. "Here, have this to warm you up," she offered, holding it out for her to take.

Bay had been generous to bring it for her, but she'd had her fill of tea, some of the other students would benefit from it more than her, and Candice was a prime example of that.



And more new faces! This was trully exciting, and they all looked so bright eyed and eager to get started... aaaahhhhhhhhh ... this was simply delightul.

Opting to return the girls wave instead of yelling a greeting over the top of other students, Seren offered the girl a bright smile too. Welcome!



Of course, the familiar faces were just as nice to see as those that were new, and this Ravenclaw's was no exception. "Good morning Gwen, enjoyed your summer break?" she asked idly, smiling pleasantly while they waited for the last to arrive.



Lux was always such a delight, with her bright personality and cheerful demeanour. A welcome addition to the group. "Hello, dear," she replied brightly, "I'm excellent, excited to get back into the swing of things... and yourself?" she asked.



The little ones, were not handling the fall cold very well.... funny that. But considering it was their first year here, it was understandable. "Hello dear, we'll be going in soon..." she promised, yep... she wasn't going to let them freeze to death.



This Slytherin wasn't sour per se.... but he could do with some lightening up, this much was evident. It was also a tad disappointing that he hadn't introduced himself as some of the others had done, so he would be known as Snake Boy for the time being. "Good morning, welcome to herbology," she greeted with a small smile.



AHA! SEEE!... this was the level of excitement she was feeling on the inside, and that was slowly but surely creeping to the outside with the arrival of Lex. Her excitement was all that was needed to have her bouncing on the balls of her feet too. "Morning!" she was quick to reply to the Prefect, bright eyed and grinning. "All in good time, all in good time," she acknowledged. Snargaluffs were delightful, yes, but they'd done them not too long ago. So now it was time to explore some of the other varieties of flesh eaters. Weeeeee. "Looking after the first years is always a given," naturally, "so please do keep an eye out for them." Especially the tiny frail looking ones. Some of the trees liked crunching bones... and the bushes weren't averse to having a crack at it either.



Still feeling the excitement that Lex and the others brought with them, Seren rocked on her feet, "Morning!" she trilled, bright smiles for the Hufflepuff. "Very well, very very well," she mused.



And whoa whoa whoa .. this one had energy! Seren was thoroughly pleased, and perhaps a little amused that it was Dash's offspring with all the energy. The man himself was fairly reserved in that respect. "I know who you are," she mused with a wink. Having watched the sorting ceremony and all she knew he was here, but the fact that he'd been around the school when his father was here hadn't escaped her memory either. "I'm Professor Bentley," he supplied, though she'd have thought he knew that much already.



And more delightful Ravenclaw's to join their little family huddled outside. Seren grinned brightly, "And to you Miss Brown," she replied fondly.



"Good morning Adi," Seren replied, offering the Hufflepuff a small wave as well. His enthusiastic greeting only made her feel warmer on the inside.



It was perhaps a good thing she'd spent some time in Angel's company already, because it made telling the sisters apart somewhat easier. This one was most definitely not homesick and mopey... "Good morning Aubrey," she chuckled in reply to the girl's greeting. Head of House Professor ma'am? Okay.



Ooohhhh.... ewww... negative energy! Seren smiled nonetheless, though it was more reseved than the others she had given. "Mister Kinsley," she greeted the Slytherin. She hoped everyone elses positive energy would rub off on the Snake, otherwise why he chose to sit through the subject was beyond her, it was no longer compulsory for him after all.



But things were soon made better with the arrival of another valued Gryffindor. "Morning Zander," she replied warmly, "it most certainly is, the frost is already setting in... before we know it, winter will be upon us." Because time seemed to fly when one was at Hogwarts.



No greeting from Mister Stone? That was a shame... but he didn't ooze negativity like some of the others, so Seren could overlook this. Yep.



As was habit when being caught slightly of guard, Seren found herself returning the greeting that was given to her. "Heeeeyy..." she replied, drawing it out some. "It most certainly is, but at least it makes for a good wake up call, don't you think?" And it was best they all be alert when they finally enter the greenhouse. Her favourite greenhouse -- not that she had favourites amongst her babies, except that she did.



And my my my, someone was having a good hair day. "Good morning dear," Seren replied, perhaps taking a moment to admire the girl's shiny locks. What did she use? Flobberworm mucus? tea tree oil? a special blend of tea for rinsing?



And another new face, one that was polite enough to introduce herself. Given the courtesy, it only made sense to return it. "Morning dear, welcome to herbology," she started, offering bright smiles, "I'm Professor Bentley."

Marisol... the name would be committed to memory now, for sure. Such a beautiful name for such a delightful young lady.

No... NO... NEGATIVE ENERGY WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING HERE!

"I'm inclined to agree with Lux on this one, unless you have somthing nice to say then you'd best keep your words to yourself young man," Seren mused, unimpressed by the boys negativity.

Noticing Schuyler arrive, Seren smiled to herself... it seemed as though she too had caught onto the drama that had been caused by the rude Slytherin.



There was something about Ascanius that was a little off today, even his usual greeting lacked zest. "Ascanius, always good to see you," she replied, wondering what had the boy so.... down.

Hopefully he would perk up as the lesson went on.



"Good morning Mister Newell," Seren replied kindly to the Slytherin. Good lad he was.



It seemed as though enthusiasm wasn't a trait adopted by most Slytherin's which was a shame. But it mattered not, there were others she could share her enthusiasm with.

"Good morning, Layla," she replied politely, still smiling.

Ethan beamed at the professor and bowed to her. That's what a gentleman should do right? "Likewise, Professor Bentley!" he said as he tucked his hands behind him. It was always a good thing to put a face to a name. All he had back in their common room were names of teachers and the subjects they taught.

So yes, gloves! Ethan got his pair from his back pocket and donned them. He wiggled his gloved fingers in front of him to show the professor that he was ready.

Foodstuff? Nope. He doesn't have any food with him...even water. Wasn't even a hot day, so bringing water to this class wasn't logical.

Yep! "Ready, professor!"

Whoa. Wait. "Eaten?" Ethan looked at the door to Greenhouse Eight suspiciously. "I spoke too soon..."

Being eaten? The plants they were going to look at ate people, didn't they? After a year at Hogwarts, this kind of stuff shouldn't have surprised Gwen anymore, but it totally did. No doubt Bentley would keep them all safe, but the idea of walking into a greenhouse filled with Audrey 2's offspring didn't really seem like a bright idea to the twelve year old.

Regardless, she pulled her gloves out of her bag and slipped them on. Good thing too, because at least they were warm. She screwed up her courage, she was probably going to need it. She hadn't brought food with her, anticipating not being able to eat it in class anyway, so all that she had to do was pull her hair out of her face with the band around her wrist, and she was ready to go meet the Venus Humantrap.

Gloves on?

Kate pulled her gloves out and stuffed her hands into them. Meh. They were a little big. She wiggled her fingers. They would work. No thorns were going to prick her hands!

No foodstuff? That was easy. Kate hadn't brought a snack. She gave Professor Bentley two gloved thumbs up and even smiled, not at all processing the fact that Bentley suggested they might get eaten and not just their food.

Jasmine waved at Lux when she arrived. The gang's all here, she thought. When Cris asked if she was warm enough, Jasmine whispered back. "I'm fine". Shortly thereafter, the Professor indicated that it was time to begin the lesson.

Jasmine reached into her backpack and grabbed her gloves. Following Professor Bentley's instructions, Jasmine put on the gloves and prepared to enter the greenhouse. She didn't have any food with her so she would not have to dispose of anything. Jasmine wondered what they would be working with today. The "Do you feel like being eaten?" comment did not escape her.

Cris mouthed "okay" when Jasmine replied to his question and then his attention was drawn to Professor Bentley announcing that class had started. When she instructed them to put on their gloves, Cris reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his dragon hide gloves, quickly slipping them on.

Then he checked his pockets to make sure that he had not left any nice tasting goodies in it...which he had a tendency to do. Ascertaining that all food bits had indeed been already eaten, Cris gave the okay sign and waited to be allowed into the greenhouse.

No foodstuffs unless they wanted to be eaten comment only peaked Cris' interest. Why did they need to worry about getting eaten...unless....they were going to be working with plants that exactly that!.

Heart pounding...not from fear, but the knowledge that he might be coming face to face with a flesh eating plant made him wary but excited at the same time.

The eleven year old saw Agatha walking toward her. "Hey, Agatha. how are you?" And did someone just say something about tea?


"My name is Kyroh by the way." So yes, there was that. Shrugging off his cloak the ravenclaw handed it over to the girl. Because it wasn't a good thing if she was too cold. She'd catch a cold and be sick and what if there were man-eating plants and she sneezed on one of them and they got mad and ate her? It wouldn't be fair at all if she got eaten just cause she had been cold.

Bouncing on the balls of his feet he turned back to the professor.

He did not need another Professor wanting to send owls home to his parents. Especially not one his papa had said to be nice to.

BENTLEY! Yes that was her name. Kyroh almost slapped himself on the head for forgetting. He had to pay attention! He had known that too. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a pair of dragon-hide gloves and quickly pulled them on.

...Eaten....? SEE HE WAS RIGHT! The girl had a chance of being eaten!!!

She got a wink from a professor, and not just any professor, but Bentley, the one Kennedy got all starry-eyed over when he talked about her during his time at Hogwarts. She might have been young, but Beverly understood. The Slytherin had to contain her amusement and remember to go tell her brother about his former crush professor. Merlin. Having her brother here to make fun of him was a new favorite of hers.

But that was for later, right now she had to put her gloves on. Good thing she hadn't brought snacks in her bag this time. Most of it had been shared with special people and the rest eaten, so nothing to worry about. Not that she was worrying. The thought of meeting risky plants peaked her interest.

Cutty had to consider on the subject of food stuffs and he froze for a brief second trying to remember if he'd packed anything from his inventory. Normally, he liked to carry a little on his person at all times, as one never knew just when the opportunity for a sale would occur. Not to mention the opportunities for upping a tea blend of your own invention or saving the dangerously low blood sugar levels of a prefect. In this case, though the third year hadn't replaced the jelly slugs he was thinking about taking with him when he packed his bag for Herbology. They were sitting under the bed and he felt a twinge of panic upon realizing this. What if Angeal found them and just helped himself leaving Cutty out of sickles worth of profit?

Cutty knew where he slept. He dug out his slowly-starting-to-fit dragonhide gloves and pulled them onto his hands. His eagerness at the class piqued, because maybe Bentley was going to commit murder again with her plants. He recalled what Caleb had mentioned about the ghost accusing Bentley of murder, HER murder, last year.


They were all going to die.


Or some of them were. Cutty was going to attach himself to someone weak and use that person as Orpheus used biscuits on Cerberus in order to save his own life. Disaster avoided!

Norah smiled at the professors return of her wave. She rummaged around her bag for her gloves, extracting a broken quill or two in her effort. She slid them over hands and admired how worn out they were. They had belonged to her mum when she was younger, and even though their original color was indistinguishable from the dirt and mysterious blotches, she loved them all the same. She listened intently to the professors words, glancing down at her bag at the mention of food. Nope, she had finished her last cookie when she had been trying to find the greenhouses. Speaking of which, her shivers were slowly becoming interspersed with the occasional rumble of her stomach.
Eaten? COOL! There was really nothing like a few crazy plants, if you asked her.

Bentley was so nice. Soph loved her to death, so she gave her a beamy face at her greeting. Totally the nicest. Reminded her a lot of her mother in all the best ways. She was easily her favorite female professor in the whole school.

With her gloves already on, Sophie felt all sorts of smug and prepared - untiiiiiiiiil Bentley told them they couldn't take any food into the greenhouse.

Oops.

Soph knew not to consume anything in the greenhouse, of course, but... she almost always had a stash of sweets on her. Usually at least a chocolate frog or a box of crystallised pineapple for emergencies, whether it be for her or an impulsive gift for someone else. It was just habit. Reluctantly peeking into her bag, the Ravenclaw had to dig around a little before pulling out two packages of chocolate frogs. Shame. When she discovered no other edible items in there, she looked around at her friends, wondering if they'd help her out and eat the two chocolate frogs quickly before they went inside, buuuut... she ended up tossing them away from the group, letting them land in the frost-covered grass. She'd come back for them later. Or someone could find them as a nice surprise. Whatever. It was probably more important to not get eaten.

Angel nodded as the Professor said good morning to her, she still wasn't sure what she thought of this place or what it would be like just leaving her mother to keep an eye on her lovely plants, they were hers she had cared for them since she could remember, ever since she was like 5 she had been in the garden doing gardening it made her relax and now she was away from all the roses, and daisy and daffodil.

Angel put on her gloves and checked her pockets to make sure there wasn't any food stuff on her, when she was satisfied she just looked at the Professor and waited to be let into the greenhouse because it was a bit cold out here and she didn't like it.

Leah walked closer to the crowd, she could not hear what the professor was saying. Being short stopped her from seeing the professor too. What was she saying?

The second year gave up trying to listen and decided to copy what the others were doing. She pulled her gloves on, and watched cluelessly as some started throwing food away. Oh well, Leah only had a bottle of water in her bag, and she knew that water was permitted. Then she heard something that sent chill up her spine. Being eaten? What? Leah concluded that she had heard something wrong.

For once, he was at the back of the group and not the front. Dima could barely see the professor, not having even managed to get close enough to greet her before she began speaking, but at least he could still hear the lady.

He already HAD his gloves on, not because they were required but because it was cold. And Dima hadn't brought any food to class anyway, because wasn't that against the rules? There were supposed to be MAN-EATING PLANTS at this school, he'd heard. They'd probably go for the kids with chocolate on their person first.

Which, once again, was NOT him.

...Gloves on? No food?

What on earth were they studying today?

...

Nope, Derry had no idea. There were a bunch of carnivorous plants, but they usually wanted to eat the students rather than the food they were carrying around.

Derry made sure her gloves were on properly - she was already wearing them, thanks to the cold weather, and got ready to follow them inside. She didn't have any food on her for once... She should probably start carrying it around again. It was becoming an issue in certain situations.

"What?" he asked after his Head of House called his name. WHAT HAD HE DONE NOW? But it turned out that she was only curious about the writing on his forehead. "I had nooo idea" he answered in a sarcastic voice.

Finally, the Professor was done greeting everyone and started the lesson. Which meant they could finally get inside of the greenhouse and finally get some warmth. Kevin turned his gaze towards the woman but then sighed softly as he heard that they weren't going to enter just yet.

Yes, yes he did have his own gloves. He didn't want to walk around with another pair of pink and glittery ones that they had to wear in Care of Magical Creatures. So he took out his own pair of black gloves and put them on.

What she said next made him look up again and this time he groaned. Leave their food?! WHY?! he wanted to snack every now and then during classes! The Gryffindor pushed his hands in to his pockets very reluctantly and took out... bubblegum, bertie botts every flavour beans, some crumbled cauldron cakes rest overs. Out from the other pocket came an Acid Pop, a few ice mice and THEN he moved to his school bag.

Which surprisingly only had a Liquorice Wand in it. "I can have these back right?!" he asked.

Adi grinned as AJ arrived. "Hey!'' was all he could say for Professor Bentley started addressing the gathered students. Gloves, right! He had brought those. He quickly pulled them on.

And as for foodstuffs... O_o Why did they have to leave them behind? Unless they felt like being eaten? O_o Er...he'd rather leave his sweets outside, thank you very much. From his pocket came two chocolate frogs and a Sugar Quill. He'd be getting these back, right? Kevin had asked an important question.

And it had worked! She had their attention. Of course there was the very real risk that one of them might get gnawed on, but fingers crossed they'd be smart enough not to ignore her instructions. So long as they all listened, didn't wander, and didn't touch things without otherwise being told to, then they'd be fine.

She did not understand some people.

Drama dealt with, Lux was happy to jump right into the lesson. Rolling the sleeves of Bay's sweater up, she reached into her bag and took out her gloves. On her hands they went.

Wait. What?

THEY COULD BE EATEN?!

Nervously she raised her hand. "We won't REALLY be eaten will we, Professor?" An uncertain glance was sent towards the greenhouse.
And really? .........

"Do you honestly think I'd let any of you die?" she asked, her tone soft with disappointment. "No, so long as you all listen, you'll all live."

Ethan beamed at the professor and bowed to her. That's what a gentleman should do right? "Likewise, Professor Bentley!" he said as he tucked his hands behind him. It was always a good thing to put a face to a name. All he had back in their common room were names of teachers and the subjects they taught.

So yes, gloves! Ethan got his pair from his back pocket and donned them. He wiggled his gloved fingers in front of him to show the professor that he was ready.

Foodstuff? Nope. He doesn't have any food with him...even water. Wasn't even a hot day, so bringing water to this class wasn't logical.

Yep! "Ready, professor!"

Whoa. Wait. "Eaten?" Ethan looked at the door to Greenhouse Eight suspiciously. "I spoke too soon..."
And look at that, they were all preparing themselves, and Ethan too seemed enthusiastic... until the words had the opportunity to sink in. Whoops?

"Yes, eaten... but don't worry, I rather like keeping my job." So nobody would die on her watch.

...

...

Never mind what happened to Marion Burbage. That wasn't her fault.

No foodstuff? That was easy. Kate hadn't brought a snack. She gave Professor Bentley two gloved thumbs up and even smiled, not at all processing the fact that Bentley suggested they might get eaten and not just their food.
Seren returned the thumbs up to the eager Ravenclaw, at least she didn't seem perturbed by the idea of flesh eaters. This was good news.

Trouble? Was he in trouble. "Not yet," she replied, "and I would hope not ever..." Did the boy have plans? Shifty plans? ... Surely not, because if that was the case his father would be hearing from her. Perhaps for her own amusement if nothing else. But Kyroh appeared too cute and sweet to be a threat, she wouldn't worry about him.

Still, she watched as he prepared himself for their entrance.

SPOILER!!: Kevin and Adi

Finally, the Professor was done greeting everyone and started the lesson. Which meant they could finally get inside of the greenhouse and finally get some warmth. Kevin turned his gaze towards the woman but then sighed softly as he heard that they weren't going to enter just yet.

Yes, yes he did have his own gloves. He didn't want to walk around with another pair of pink and glittery ones that they had to wear in Care of Magical Creatures. So he took out his own pair of black gloves and put them on.

What she said next made him look up again and this time he groaned. Leave their food?! WHY?! he wanted to snack every now and then during classes! The Gryffindor pushed his hands in to his pockets very reluctantly and took out... bubblegum, bertie botts every flavour beans, some crumbled cauldron cakes rest overs. Out from the other pocket came an Acid Pop, a few ice mice and THEN he moved to his school bag.

Which surprisingly only had a Liquorice Wand in it. "I can have these back right?!" he asked.

From his pocket came two chocolate frogs and a Sugar Quill. He'd be getting these back, right? Kevin had asked an important question.


And whooops... he knew about it, well that was something. Seren bit back a giggle. It really was rather amusing, all things considered. But she wouldn't laugh at the boys expense, that would be rude. "My apologies."

..

...

And what was with all the food? Kevin seemed to be hoarding a miniature shop in his pocket, and some of the others too had a stash on their person. Were her lessons the equivalent of a picnic? Never mind the tea party they had a couple of terms ago, but this.. this was something else. "Of course you can, I have no use for them." Except to maybe bribe her prefect, but that was hardly necessary.

OOC: Reminder, lesson continues in approx 3-4 hours.

Benny wrinkled his nose a little at the nickname but it was clear he wasn't totally bothered by it. Maybe just the old part his friend insisted on keeping. Adi was the elder of the two of them by a few months he believed. Before he could dwell or respond further however, Professor Bentley called for their attention to begin class.

Gloves on...check, the boy slipping them out from his supplies and onto each of his hands. Not having any foodstuffs he was fine, but he absently nudged his bestie as the Hufflepuff had to turn over some things. He did have a sweet tooth.

SPOILER!!: Kyroh

It wouldn't be fair at all if she got eaten just cause she had been cold.

Bouncing on the balls of his feet he turned back to the professor.


"Nice to meet you, Kyroh." People said that when they meet new people, right? "I'm Candice." Now that they already know each other could she has that cloak? Please? Candice accepted the cloak when Kyroh handed to her and put it on. Much better. She should remembered to wear a cloak next lesson. "Thanks. I'll return it to you after class." So maybe she should stay close to the Ravenclaw.

SPOILER!!: Bentley

Bay had been generous to bring it for her, but she'd had her fill of tea, some of the other students would benefit from it more than her, and Candice was a prime example of that.

And that was it. That was all the time they could afford to delay the beginning of the lesson. If anyone was late from here on in, then they would be held accountable.

"Gooooood morning everyone! Welcome to the first Herbology lesson of the term," she greeted, arms out as she addressed the masses. "For those of you knew to the school, my name's Professor Bentley, and for those of you who are returning, welcome back." For the time being she kept the door to the greenhouses closed and locked, very well secured, as they had a couple of things to discuss before getting their gloves dirty.

"Before we enter, could you all please put your gloves on if you haven't done so already, and leave any foodstuffs you have on your person outside. The only consumables you may bring into this greenhouse is water."

So... do those now kiddies... "Unless you feel like being eaten?" Perhaps a hint as to what they might be looking at today.


Teeeaaa. Kyroh's cloak already help her with this cold but she didn't mind a cup of hot tea. "Thank you, Professor." She took the cup from Professor Bentley. She hold the cup in her hands for a while to warm up her hands before she drink it. Aaaah. Tea was the best. Aftershe was done with her tea, she gave the cup back to Professor Bentley.

She noticed a lot of students already gathered around outside the greenhouse waiting for Bentley to start the lesson. Finally after all of them were there, the Professor started the lesson. Candice took out her gloves from her backpack and put it on.

Leave their foods behind? She didn't bring any foods with her so she's good. Eaten? By the plants? Was that mean they're going to study man-eating plants today? COOL!
