See, Dante wasn't the patient type. If this toadstool wasn't going to shut up, he was going to find a way to silence it for good other than the spell! The snake took a deep breath in attempting to calm his thoughts and concentrate more on the task at hand. He was definitely capable of performing this spell, he'd performed harder.

The slytherin pointed his wand at the plant again and muttered the spell under his breath a couple of times. He glanced at the board to make sure he got it right, yup all good.

Now he just needed to extra focus and it'd be done.

"Silencio," He said with a jab of his wand. Paaause. Nothing. NOTHING! The annoying toadstool didn't repeat after him. Woot! He totes got the whole herbology thing.

Angel, started to practice the wand movement again, she had used this spell in a duel one's with her best friend, speaking of best friends she hadn't seen Leah around much, she decided after this lesson she was going to hunt her Hufflepuff friend down and see where about she was.

Angel grabbed her wand and looked at the toadstool, seriously who let this toadstool get this loud, why didn't they all work somewhere away from each other. "Silencio!" Angel did the wand movement and smiled as the toadstool went all silent on her, how amazing was that, she was still annoyed about the fact they made them better just to shut them up again, but if she wanted to work with plants later in her life which she did, she knew she had to get things right.

Now that the plant could no longer speak, Dante felt accomplished. And wasn't annoyed anymore. Man, the things some plants did.

Now it was time to finish up his task. The Slytherin retrieved a quill from his bag and scribbled his name on the sticker then stuck it on the pot. He took a step back to make sure it was clear and readable. Totes, good. Having finished with the pot, the sixth-year slipped his quill inside the bag then holstered his wand. Time to go to Greenhouse 2.

He picked up his pot and followed some other students there. Once he got there he placed it on the table and tilted it to make sure the name tag was visible.

Dante Malloy
Slytherin. Sixth-year

All done. Now it was time to return to class and see what the professor wanted of them other than that.

Now that the practice was over, Brooklyn was ready to actually silence her toadstool. Her toadstool who hadn’t flinched at the wand jabs, by the way, which had irritated her even more. It had just kept on squeakily repeating her every repetition of the incantation. Therefore, she was all too happy to be able to silence it. Hopefully. She didn’t want to be the only person to fail at casting the spell, not after she’d practiced like they were supposed to. Maybe not entirely as they were supposed to, as she doubted they were supposed to threaten their toadstools, but it had been too tempting.

Jabbing her wand at her toadstool yet again, she focused on it. “Silencio!” She knew the spell had hit, but she still had to wait a second or two before she knew if it had worked, since the toadstool hadn’t been trying to annoy her at the exact moment she’d cast. But, soon enough, she realized it would have copied her had her spell not worked. Much better, and the greenhouse was a lot quieter now too. Maybe it was still possible she could fix her headache by herself.

Archie was grinning madly when he saw students talking to their toadstools. Saying quite amusing things as well! He did want to clear something up when he heard other students apologizing to their toadstools, though. They weren't supposed to feel BAD. "You guys are doing GREAT. I can finally hear myself think again." He chuckled... EHEHehe. Jokes from Professor M. "For those that are feeling sorry for their toadstools for shutting them up so quickly... Don't!! Talking Toadstools do not enjoy the presence of each other. The best thing to do after restoring them, is to remove any further discomfort ready for me to place them all in separate places later on." He would make the kids do it but they were pushing it for time.

"I can see most of you have finished this final activity. In that case, thank you very much for your effort. Class is dismissed!" Archie beamed at all of the bright sparks of Hogwarts. First class milestone complete. This was emotional. He'd do that later, though. For now he couldn't stop smiling. "Anyone who is still silencing their toadstools..." Or even still restoring them, "I'll leave the greenhouse open for a while longer." AND he would stick around, of course. "Take as long as you need, and I'm here if you have any further questions." Nod, nod.

"Thanks for coming, everyone. I hope you've had fun, and I hope to see you for the next lesson. Uhhh," He was forgetting something. PAUSE TO THINK. "OH... homework will be posted on the noticeboard outside in the next few days!" Archie raised his arms for one final clap. That's a wrap!

ooc: THANKS FOR COMING, YOU GUYS. ;___; I was so nervous and you guys have been so kind and welcoming so thank you. <3 I'll leave class open till the very end of today (10-11 hours from now) just in case anyone wants to catch up still. Homework will be posted tomorrow-ish!!

Wait. People were done. The professor was dismissing students and her toadstool was still yipping away. She needed results and she needed them fast. The one good thing about the majority of everybody being done was that she could now hear her own toadstool better. "AJ's awesome." HAHA. That just didn't get old. As much as she would love to hear the toadstool mimic her wonderful qualities all day long, she had work to do.

Ahem. This was going to work this time. AJ could just feel it in her bones. "Silencio." Jab. Nope, nothing. This was okay. AJ was more of a "third time's a charm" kind of person.

"Silencio." AJ jabbed her wand with authority this time, and it worked. Maybe it was the fact that she could hear herself think now that the greenhouse had quieted down. Whatever the reason there wouldn't be any complaints from this lion because the toadstool was quiet. She had shut it up. HER!

Oh yeah. She was getting all the credit for that bad boy. She picked up her pot and took it to greenhouse two. Now, she could leave with the rest of the class.

"Bye, professor. Thanks for the awesome lesson. I can't wait to deal with a plant with teeth." Food for thought. She gathered up her belongings and headed out towards the castle.

Professor Groundskeeper had jokes in addition to a whole lot of energy even though the jokes wasn't that funny but Adi liked attempts as them anyway so he politely grinned. It was a little funny, okay? As for for his toadstool, he wasn't that sorry about silencing it. The noise was annoying, yo.

Were his Lion friends done? While he waited on them, the Puffer gathered his belongings back into his bag before heading over to the short man. "Fun lesson, Professor Groundskeeper!'' Nope, this time the Groundskeeper part didn't slip out. With another grin, Adi made his way outside. He'd be waiting on certain people. Yup.

The Slytherin knew this spell would come in handy especially when dealing with certain Ravenclaws and was happy that she managed to learn it.

"Silencio." Agatha said once again, not yet performing it on the toadstool. But now it was time to see if she had actually learned it. Making the jabbing motion towards the plant in front of her, the fifth year exclaimed "Silencio!" quite emphatically. That toadstool was already doing her head in and it was awesome to see it shut up completely after her PERFECT spell casting.

Did everyone see that? DID THEY? Agatha Hapgood was amazing.

So they were dismissed?

That was cool with him. With his toadstool silenced and put away, Benny didn't have anything else to handle. Well except cleaning up his work area which was easy enough to do. When he was done, he gathered his own belongings into his knapsack and slung it over his shoulder ready to go.

"Thank you , Professor," he said with a nod as he moved to follow Adi. He had done a pretty good job for his first lesson. And now it was time to leave the greenhouse for whatever else was happening today.

That was it. They were finished. And class was over. Already. It seemed so quick.

She had enjoyed this lesson and wasn't really ready to go but she had nothing else to do. So slowly Hady began to pack her things away and cleaned up her work space. Grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder she made way for the exit. "Thanks Professor, it was a cool lesson!" She offered a smile and a wave as she passed him on her way out.

Oohhhh... class dismissed? That was it? No biting plants? Nothing was going to try to kill them? As much as he could appreciate the simplicity in what they had done, he was a little disappointed they didn't get to see anything that was.. well.. COOL.

Removing his gloves and packing his things up, Zeke slung his bag strap over his shoulder and made to depart the greenhouse, but not before saying goodbye to Professor Millard. "Thank's for the lesson, Professorrrrrr!" he grinned, adding a nod simply because he felt like it. And with that, he was on his way back to the castle, away from the elements of being outdoors.

Class was dismissed? Well that hadn't been so bad. Actually, it had been kinda fun. Janelle walked over to the Professor to say goodbye. "Thanks Professor. I had a good time today. See you next class." She headed for he door, wondering if her little toadstool would be OK. Hopefully, they would get to see them again.

Wait, whaaaat? Class was dismissed?! Kate really needed to start working faster. It wasn't that she didn't understand the material. She understood just fine. She was starting to think she was just over-analyzing everything, though, and it was causing her to work too slowly. Okay, so now she needed to catch up. Quickly, too.

At least it shouldn't take too long to perform the spell. Kate had already practiced the incantation and wand movement separately. Now all she needed to do was put them together and cast on the toadstool. Speaking of her toadstool, she heard a very distinct "Bologna sandwich!" and figured it was time to hurry up.

Kate flicked her wand out her holster and gave a quick jab forward toward the toadstool. "Silencio!" she said. The sound coming from the toadstool softened until it was heard no more. Whew. Okay, now to get everything labeled and moved.

Cutty had performed charms intended to reward with quiet before. Oddly, though he'd never tried Silencio. Tongue twisters and lockers and gibberish inducing things but never just plain old Silencio. He took up his wand and placed the little toadstool down and gave it the following phrase to repeat, "Not all knarls know to neveh knock knotholes." A tongue twister from his days as a wee Mordaunt.


"Not all knarls..." Began the toadstool in it's super tiny voice.

"Silencio." He said jabbing his wand as he spoke the incantation.

"...Know to neveh knock knotholes." It said faintly.

Angel went and grabbed a piece of parchment and smiled as she wrote on it, what the Professor asked for.



Once she had done that, she looked around and smiled as she saw all the others taking there plants somewhere and she did the same with hers making sure to keep the things perfect and the name tag visible, she then heard the Professor say about class being dismissed. "Thanks for an amazing lesson Professor." Angel smiled.

Oh. Well, that wasn't too bad actually. This guy was definitely a step up from Wicked Walton of last term. Ugh. That man was a down right poo head. But anyways, Zander couldn't help but grin at the Professor as he made his way to the door. He wasn't Beautiful Bentley, but he wasn't too bad. He was alright. Huh. Maybe Herbology would be nice this year. "Bye, Professor," and now.... Next lesson?

"Not all knarls know to neveh knock knotholes." The slightly quieter toadstool repeated growing to it's normal volume as Cutty removed the spell. "Not all knarls know...". He watched the little thing for a moment or two concentrating on why his first cast only worked somewhat. The toadstool meanwhile carried on and on and on constantly repeating the phrase. It wasn't that bad. The first couple of times and in fact Cutty got something out of the fact that it was probably a great annoyance to his fellow students. He was even thinking about asking Professor Millard if he could keep on in his dorms to observe it, but then it uttered the phrase one last time and began to do his head in again.

"Silencio." He said casting once more.

Lo but it kept on grooving to the beat as if it were still uttering the tongue twister, though no sound came from it.

Lesson was over which meant food and then possibly a nap. Gathering her things she paused. What on earth was Cutty's toadstool saying? Eyeing him then the plant, she shrugged the strap of her bag on her shoulder.

"Slow poke," she said, smirking at her best mate and leaning against the table. "Let's go get something to eat afterwards." Because he's abandoned her lately and she wasn't having it anymore.

Well chuffed at that fact of having silenced the bothersome little shroom, Cutty patted it's... head patronizingly and moved over to the sticking labels. He wrote his name in large, bold hand along with his year and house and stu...The back sort of stuck to his fingers and interrupted an otherwise neat job of adhesing the label to the pot. Crookedly, his name tag label clung to the side of the pot but no matter, the job was done. Cutty took the silenced, well and potted toadstool over to the main desk where the other were kept in Greenhouse 2.

He gathered his belongings and gave the Professor man nod #34 which meant goodbye and thanks. "Alright, Wayne ladies first." He said with a slight snort at her slow poke remark.
