The greenhouses are where lessons usually take place. But when there are no lessons being held, they are a place for students to come and get some grardening, researching or looking around done. This would actually make Professor Walton happy.
However, you will notice that there are seven greenhouses. In each one a different variety of plants is being kept. The ones that are easy to deal and work with are in the lower-numbered ones and as the number goes up the plants become more dangerous and would require more experience and credibility to handle. So you won't need permission to access greenhouses from one to four but you will need Professor Andrew's permission to access the greenhouses five, six and seven.
As you enter whichever of the greenhouses you will see rows and rows of plants neatly tidied and positioned in an accurate spot in regard of sunlight. A few of them will occasionally need to be turned around, trimmed and taken care of and that's what you will find Professor Andrew doing should you run into him. He also will be roaming around keeping an eye out on things and people.
You are not allowed to harm any plant in any way. You must always be prepared for anything and if you need the Professor's help all you have to do is call for him, he's either in his office or in one of the greenhouses. Also, you do not need to bring equipment with you because in each one of the greenhouses there is a cupboard that has everything you might need; gloves, robes, shovels, pots of all sizes, cultivators, fertilizers...etc.
OOC: -You do have to RP getting permission to access the greenhouses five, six and seven. And please be realistic, a firstie won't be allowed to be near dangerous plants without assistance.
-Please do not let your character damage anything because Andrew WILL deduct points. Still, this is a place to have fun besides learning, so enjoy it!
-If you need Andrew just title your post so that I will post for you.

"Yep, you're horrible" he said with a laugh that was a bit too loud and he quickly looked around for any sign of Walton or a student who would tell on them.
Turning back to face Zander, sighed loudly and patted his shoulder. "You are a thief now, don't deny it besides , maybe we'll be in prison cells together in azkaban one day!" he was joking by the way. Of course he would never want to get in there. Eeeeeeh....yeah a cloth would be pretty obvious since anyone would want to ask what was under it. He would. Thinking as well for a better solution, Kevin clapped his hands once and pointed with two fingers at his friend. "See! you're already learning" There was just one little problem.
"Sooo... you do that disillium something spell" he frowned. "Okay?" Yeah, he was not telling that he had no idea what that spell was. Had they learned that spell in class before? If so..he couldn't remember. "Is it to make things invisible?" ...............he just told him he had no clue what that spell was , didn't he? oops.
Stepping further in to the greenhouse, the Gryffindor took out his wand and pointed it at nothing in particular. "Accio wheelbarrow!" ..........."Accio wheelbarrow"....."Accio..OH COME ON!" He sighed aggressively and nearly threw his wand on the ground when the spell hadn't worked. Without saying anything, he walked to the end of the greenhouse to grab the wheelbarrow. "We can levitate the plants in here right?" he asked from the other side of the room.
The Gryffindor couldn't help, but laugh once Kevin started laughing too, but he quickly stopped when he realized they were on an undercover mission. Couldn't possibly compromise their plot for revenge by laughing too loudly. Apparently he was already bad enough at this whole smuggling thing. So... Yeah, anyways. He snuck a look around the greenhouse too, just incase.
Anyways, his head fell a little as Kevin called him a thief, twice now! But then he quickly straightened up at the sound of 'Azkaban'. "There's no way either of us are going to Azkaban!" He couldn't possibly do that. If either of them were being sent there-- which they wouldn't be-- it'd probably be Kevin, no offense. And Zander couldn't let his friend sit in one of those cells for the rest of his life! Kevin would go insane without space to breath!!! So he'd have to help break him out of course, sure that Kevin would do the same. And if not, he'd pretend like Kevin would do the same because the thought was kinda comforting, Azkaban bit aside of course. "Well, I am learning from the best!" he chuckled. The best being Kevin of course because if there was one resident trouble maker at Hogwarts, it was his best mate for sure.
Now, on to the logistics. "It's called the disillusionment charm," he explained with a tiny sigh. "They use it on Hippogriffs so that they're not seen??" Was any of this ringing a bell? Didn't Kevin take third year Care of Magical Creatures? They were bound to learn it there. "Yeah, well... Sorta... It's supposed to make it look invisible like see-through almost?" And that was the minicharms lesson for today ladies and gentleman. Also a bit of Magical Creatures in there too. How come, even when he was about to do something totally evil... There was still some good stuff sprinkled in? Merlin.
Zander watched as Kevin tried to summon the wheelbarrow, but he was kinda apprehensive not even gonna lie. Last time Kevin tried accio-ing something... Sparks flew at Beautiful Bentley and weird things happened. Not to mention that this time it wasn't for a chocolate frog card, it was for a whole entire WHEELBARROW!! And they would not want one of those flying at their faces!! So he was somewhat relieved when Kevin couldn't get the spell to work and watched as the third year went to go grab the object himself. All the mean while, Zander picked the boy's wand off the floor and looked back up just as Kevin started asking the next bit. "Right!" he confirmed, not even paying attention to the fact that they were practically screaming across the greenhouse to one another.
So much for undercover criminals.

"We've lost two Professors to man eating plants before, reckon losing a third wouldn't hurt...though I suspect it'd send the school into panic again." But not for them, because they'd know better. How good was Zeke at acting terrified after the fact? It might come in handy...but anywaaaay, fleshies!
"I think they might have already been fed for today." She considered as she steadily and cautiously made her way in the poor lighting. It was hardly possible to see more than a few feet in front of them and she didn't plan to make herself an easy target. "But a treat never hurt anyone and who knows, he might be as stingy with food as he is with permission." Poor things might actually have been starving if you'll believe it!
Now that the idea of feeding had come up, Alexa veered off to the left, grabbing Zeke and taking him with her for his own good. The food was this way. Raw meat wasn't the usual sent at this time of the morning given she was usually down in the kitchen where everything was cooked but it was fine. This in itself was thrilling.
Lex grabbed a bucket from the small shed and threw some smaller chunks of meat that wouldn't be missed into it. "You can hold this since your so keen on things--but if at any point you feel like you're being watched or something's looming up behind you, something probably is and you should hand me the bucket." Was that clear? These things had a tendency to follow the scent of meat. A bucket of meat and a First Year to boot would make for some VERY happy fleshies and an even more screwed Head Girl.
Come to think of it, she'd probably made him the next target giving him the bucket like she did....but Zeke was smart enough to know when he was being stalked...she hoped.
Wait. Hold up. WHAAAATTT? "For real?" he asked, cause HELLOO THAT WAS AWESOME... and sad, so sad. Ahem. "I didn't think it'd ever actually happen. It's like when grown ups say eating sugar rots your teeth, my teeth are fine." Perfectly fine, he was sure of it. And, go figure an eating plants ACTUALLY ate men... and women? And, if Professor's got eaten, what chance did THEY have of surviving? Zeke was perhaps a little more aware of his surroundings now, just a little... a tad.
He hoped they'd been fed, cause he didn't want to become a meal, treats were of course, reasonable. Small offerings to compensate for them keeping their fingers and toes perhaps? Although... it might be interesting to lose a finger or two to plant. Could wizards grow back fingers and toes? They could grow back bones!
He happily took the bucket Lex held out for him, and beaming he jingled the bucket on its hinges. Weeeeeeeeeee. Come and get 'em fleshies! "Deal," he added, confirming he agreed with her terms. Of course, he still couldn't help but wonder... "Lex? If a plant ate your finger, couldn't you just have it grown back?" Was that a thing? Please say yes! "Magic can do anything, can't it?"

"Yup. Totally happened, all the way back in my First Year. Yanked the Professors right out of the classroom and nearly got the then Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain." But that was Milton's fault. It was always Milton's fault because he was so stupid and made himself nearly die a lot. Maybe she missed him too. "And that's the dumbest thing adults say. I live on candy and all 32 are still perfectly functioning and hole free." She'd have shown him but they couldn't see anyway.
Lex was marginally relieved at the fact he so readily agreed to hand over the bucket if anything fishy were to come about. Least he wasn't the hard headed kind. Merlin, she was inclined to let that sort get eaten, even if she had to feed them to the plant herself.
She turned slightly at his question before facing forward again. "No...it doesn't quite work like that. See, bones are good on the regrowth scale but not appendages and such. It's like...losing a head...only on your hand." Don't ask her, she wasn't training to be a Healer or nothing. "Just don't get anything eaten--'cept the meat in the bucket."
Hey wait a minute...in the dim light the moon provided through the glass walls she was almost sure...she saw...."A snargaluff. Look." She pointed to the stump that looked hardly menacing. "It'll swallow you whole if you let it." Could crawl inside too so long as you got someone to pull you out after.

He had been making his final rounds in the Astronomy Tower, making sure that the doors to the planetarium and classroom were locked respectively, when he had noticed a sort of bouncing light make its way towards the greenhouses. Dismissing it at first as Andy Pandy making his own rounds, the astronomer had quickly changed out of his suit with the simple tap of his wand to perform a switching spell. He had twirled his wand between his fingers with every intention to put it back in his holster and take himself and his suitjamas to bed...when the light suddenly went out at the entrance to the greenhouse.
Finding this odd, suitjamas and all, he had hurried down from his tower to the greenhouse with his own wand in hand. His silk suitjamas glistened in the light of the moon, and by the light of his wand, almost giving him a ghostly appearance. Although, if one were to ask him his preference, he would have preferred to have been compared to a silvery aurora. Or perhaps a patronus.
Pulling open the door with a drawn out CREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAK, the professor stepped inside....and it didn't take long to hear the voice of Miss Cambridge. Oh sweet solstice...what in Merlin's name had she gotten herself into now?
"Miss Cambridge? I hope to Orion you have a good reason to be in here at this hour," he called out as he continued to walk forward with his illuminated wand.

Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good
ِAndrew had been in the DANGEROUS greenhouses but only stepped out to his office to grab one of his notebooks which he needed to log the changes concerning one of the flesh eaters under supervision. What he did not know though, that HOOLIGANS were waiting for him to leave the door for a tiny bit a bit longer since he got occupied with something else to BREAK into his greenhouses.
It took him a while but he was finally making his way back to continue what he was working on. Once he got at the door and was about to push it open he froze. There were voices. His lips formed a very thin line as he barged in. Whoever it was, they were supposed to knock or wait outside before they allowed themselves inside.
First thing his eyes landed on was Flamsteed... in his pjs? It took Andy a sec to register that and he felt a a little bit at ease knowing that it was only his colleague. Well, that until the Herbologist's eyes found the other two culprits.
The Head Girl, OF COURSE! That lioness must have been planning to do so for a long time. And to think that he was considering allowing her access after he got the chance to evaluate her qualifications. But she was not alone. There was Zeke, too, also a Gryffindor. Shocking. NOT. The kid would have not had a problem getting permission to enter this part of the greenhouses with Andrew but then again when did Gryffindors think!
Before making any haste assumptions, he cast a general look around to make sure no major harm had been done, though he knew he'd need a thorough inspection. "Anyone would like to explain to me what in merlin's beard is going on in here?" His gaze turned to the two kids and he squinted at them. "You two are not allowed in here," Which they knew very well yet chose to ignore.

All noises were dismissed as the sounds of a greenhouse still awake. That was most likely their fault, waking up the fleshies with promises of more food than what they were already used to. Kinda cute weren't they? Even the limited lighting and all. She made a move toward the snargaluff before suddenly freezing at the sound of her name.
...
.....
Turning, Lex spotted Professor Aire--hfvjafvysdfuysefUA!!! The bloody hell did he need to be shining his light for??????? dfhsgvfsaiwsd!!!! Lex drew her wand and put out the light in Airey's with one frantic motion before giving an exasperated "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" What in Merlin's soggy gray beard was the Astronut thinking???? "Keep it quiet Sir, you're gonna get us caught!" She continued in a whisper. We're beyond thinking Alexa ever has a 'good reason' to be in restricted places at late hours, don't you think Professor? It's been six years.
She was about to explain the whole thing when....crud. Walton. "Do exactly what I say and agree with me." Lex whispered, suddenly pulling Zeke a little closer in the dull light to whisper something only he could hear. Once more she straightened. "Professor Walton, brilliant to see you." Except NOT REALLY. "I can imagine how....awkward this might look right about now but I could have sworn I saw something down in the Greenhouse, see, and after all the weird stuff like trolls in the dungeons and sink holes on the grounds, I had to be sure nothing funny was happening to your precious plants--cause I care, I care a lot more than you give me credit for," pause, "People say I don't take my Head Girl responsibilities seriously but that's clearly not the case 'cause here I am. It got worse when I got here and saw the Greenhouse OPEN, thought it might have been a break in and with you presumably sleeping at such an hour I didn't wanna risk leaving them alone in here." And another pause as she looked to Zeke. "I forced him along, see, because he wouldn't go to bed when I told him and we were arguing about it, yeah? Then I saw the funny stuff and I didn't have time to finish arguing so I dragged him along." DONE and some perfectly solemn nods and serious looks while she spoke.
"Happy to report everything seems safe, Sir!" GRIN. Right Zeke? This would be a brilliant time for some nodding and scared looks and such. Ahem.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA....... yanked up Professors? Almost ate a Captain tooooo?! That was beyond cool and awesome, while also being super sad and yeah... just... AWful. Zeke was still mesmerised by these thoughts and the whole flesh eating thing actually eating flesh and devouring people when Lex answered his question regarding fingers. Magic didn't work that way????...... But, he thought magic could do ANYTHING. Like, okay, bringing people back from the dead and stuff was dark magic, and they weren't the same as they were when living... but it WAS possible. So, what, regrowing his finger would make it grisly and kill-happy? Naahhhhhh.. it HAD to be possible to grow limbs and appendages back. Lizards did it all the time - he saw it with his very own eyes!
Mentions of a snarga-whatnow? and eating him whole roused him from his thoughts once more, and he slipped a free hand into the bucket for some meat scraps. He came baring gifts!!!!! And he wanted to see the plants teeth!!! "Neaaaat," he said, keeping close to Lex.
...
...
Uh oh.
Professor Flamsteed was here?! HERE?! WHYYYY?! Zeke gulped nervously, looking between him and Lex. Lex didn't seem fazed though, which was... a good thing? Would he let them go without detention??? PLEASE? He'd stayed quiet, not knowing what to say or add to 'conversation', but then, he didn't have a great deal of time to contribute before Professor Walton turned up too.
Merlin. Why was EVERYONE in THIS greenhouse?!?!?!
He'd vaguely heard what Lex had whispered, but his mind was understandably elsewhere, considering their audience. Hehe, HI.
Zeke stood quietly while Lex spoke, and though her story was well put together, even he didn't believe it, and he believed most anything.
"Mmmmmmmm... nope," he interjected as Lex finally stopped with the not-so-good excuses. He had this in the bag. IN THE BAG. "Lex is just being nice, Professors," he said, shuffling his feet a little, still with the bucket and chunk of meat in his hands. "See, I was bored and wasn't sleepy, and I really wanted to go exploring... so when Lex was busy I snuck out." Yeah, yeah, seeeee... it was all him, all his fault. "I figured she'd catch up to me in the castle, or that Peeves would wake everyone up... so I came straight out here and the door was open... but Lex found me anyway. She was about to drag me back to the dorms when you found us." Or something to that effect. See... irresponsible first year and responsible seventh year head girl. FAR more believable than odd lights and co-adventures.
His eyes were averted. He was unable to look either of them in the face, not even Lex. He was just going to stand here and be guilty and accept the consequences for his crimes, and his non-crimes, like a true Gryffindor. "Sorry...."
Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good
Yeah, he didn't want to believe a word the Head Girl said. But the problem was that he didn't have a reason not to. There was nothing to prove that what she was saying was a lie. Though, nothing to prove that it was true. So he just watched her waiting for her to slip but she did not. Something told him the seventh year had been in similar occasions were she was caught in a suspicious situation and managed to talk her way out of it.
He opened his mouth to respond to her but the younger lion started talking.
Well, well, well. They should have at least decided on a lie BEFORE breaking into his greenhouses. Yup. Now that he heard two stories he lost complete trust in both of them. He already had trust issues and now he needed no further proof.
"Either ways," He started, "Both of you broke rules . And you, Miss Cambridge should have known better than to enter this part of the Greenhouses especially with a first year." He fixed her with a look. Oh, she so have been planning for this.
And since his colleague offered no input, Andrew was going to leave it him out of it although the man was THEIR head of house. But he'd talk about it in private. He was a professional man and wasn't going to discuss anything in front of the kids.
"Now, I'll ask all of you to leave immediately," He said stepping to the side and motioning to the door.He trusted that Flammy would be responsible for walking the two to their Common room. Walton certainly wasn't going to. As far as he was concerned he had plants to tend to.
