Echo was just so happy to be big again, please anything to get her away from all this dirt.

"yes please professor"

squeaking she threw her hands out from her sides and closed her eyes and pointed her face to the sky! waiting for the big dramatic normal size going up thing.

Not to mention that she was now super excited that they were going to be let go early! she could possibly take a nap now before her other class.

Having helped to scatter the salt - the boring way with her hands - she moved from food to foot to feel the mud trying to suck at her boots and stick her in the dubs. Giggling softly to herself, she almost missed the clue before she began to pay attention. Nodding along she looked up at the dead leaves that needed to be discarded so that they wouldn’t poison and ruin the rest of the healthy flower.

Okay… that was easier said than done… hooooow did you do that when you freaking tiny? Even tinier than even normal… which was awful and she really just wanted to be tall - heh, taller - again. It was hard to imagine a time when she missed being the grand height of 4’ 10” … but right now, the size of an ant - she REALLY did miss all of those inches that she had never quiet understood or appreciated. Now however, now she would… Well, she would once the Professor made them bigger again.

Her inner monolgue meant that she didn’t quite do the job that she had meant to do… .that, and she still couldn’t remember how she was supposed to do it. So she hoped that the professor didn’t start to gvie her dirty looks for dragging the cut leaves away from the root of the bush, towards the outside so that it was easier for him to tidy them up later… when they were all big again.

Right, big-ness. When… uh when was that happening again?

Looking around at her friends, she raised an eyebrow as the Professor said he had to…. Find?? …. Mr Song… What on earth had happened this time?..... HAHAHAHAHA. What on EARTH. Giggling to herself, Marsha moved over to where the Professor said to go if they wanted to be big.

Well, Marsha did. Any chance it could make her taller than she was to start with? Maybe a nice 5’ even?

.... Zeke was very quickly losing interest.

Why?

Because chaos was ensuing and the riddles were ... boring? The answers were your standard response for caring for plant things - minus the salt, that one was odd, but he was more interested in the whole colour changing thing than trimming rose bushes.

When the drama of things that was Jaemin caught hold, he became MORE disengaged than he already was.

Yes. Please Sir, could they go early? He'd like that VERY much - as eagerly demonstrated by his rigorous nodding. He had homework to do, a girlfriend to snog and make happy, training and curse breaking prep. Like, he was BUSY, he didn't have time to be doing a fat lot of nothing with a giant rose bush.

Well, Cornelius Baltazar needing to use the LOO was just the icing on Paul's RUHS RUSH RUSH TO BE BIG AGAIN cake. He held his wand aloft. "All right. All right kids! Let's get BIG BIG BIG--" and he waved his wand and undid the affects of the shrinking solution/shrinking charm. And they all....rose to their normal sizes once more.

Paul had left his shoes on the plant -________- Crud.

SO the red queen was BAREFOOT but that was okay because he had to RUN TO go find little---VERY LITTLE---Blaise Bellaire!

"OKAY EVERYONE--thank you for the cooperation! I really need to go find Mr. Bellaire--everyone take a small potted rosebush from the back!" he gestured at the back of the room where he had set all the baby!roses out. "I was going to make a list of the USE of roses but alas--I must cut it short!" he said, and without further ado.....

Paul ran out of the greenhouse, barefooted, wigged and STILL dressed very much like the Queen of Hearts.



OOC: Lololol I hadn't planned on ending my lesson so prematurely BUT...things happen. *lets it play its course* It was a lot of fun for me! thanks for entertaining me so much, guys! I'll leave this thread open for another few hours! <3

What no TIMBER? "But you saaaaaiiidd--" and the Curly Top started when he began to looked around. Ok so apparently the Professor meant to prune the Rose Bush-Trees and not actually fell them.

Eh pruning aint much fun. Its like half-hearted timbering while hiding under a blanket.

Snip snip snip-- hey look at that kid he's flying or something....

But the Professor sounded panicky and said they had to leave. Awww he's gonna stop being Antman now.

And then he could feel himself growing-- or the roses started shrinking-- its real trippy watching it all happen. And the next thing he knew he was all back to normal-- well as far as normal goes. He has just seen his Professor go off off with--out his shoes.

"See yah Professor Myers!" he called out after the man. He wasn’t that much interested in baby roses unless it means he can go back to being Antman again. He will take a cuppa tea though, now that classes is over he dun have to worry about peeing yeah?

Tea in hand, feet on his cruiser, bag on his shoulder and off he zooms. Peace out.

Bigger. Yes.

That was what she wanted to be. Like now. Please?

Letting out a soft exhale, Marsha shook out her arms and legs as she grew and grew and grew …. Unfortunately, all of her clothes seemed to fit her perfectly which meant that the potion hadn’t made her grow any taller. SIGHHH. Second disappointment of the day. Oh well, at least she wasn’t TINY TINY TINNNNNY any more.

Looking around the greenhouse, the Welsh girl picked up her bag before waving a goodbye to the Professor. It was a lovely day and she wasn’t about to let all of that sunshine go to waste.

Janelle had gotten into a kind of groove with her low leaf pruning. Find a brown leaf, aim and "Flipnsnipwitit", followed by a giggle. Repeat. The low growing leaves in her little area were looking much better, much greener. Janelle was just about to try for another group of dead and dying leaves when the professor revealed his plan. He was going to make them big again. Already, but........she still had work to do. At least they had been given a warning. She had time for a few more snips. Janelle trimmed two more leaves and joined the circle of classmates. "Okay Professor, I'm ready."

Apparently they couldn't have a class without some drama and Herbology was no exception. That was probably why they were ending the class so soon. Alas, it was time. Janelle secured her wand because she had no intention of leaving that behind. Besides, a miniature wand would be of no use to her. Before she knew it, Janelle began to grow and grow. Finally, she was back to her normal size. Thank Merlin. Being small had been........interesting, but she much preferred being big.......normal sized.

Oh! They got to have a rose bush for there very own. This was great because Janelle loved roses. She went to the back of the room and picked out a very lovely bush. Janelle headed toward the door, but detoured past the professor first. "Thanks for the rose bush Professor. It's beautiful. I'll be sure to take good care of it." She'd have to ask Jasmine for some tips on keeping her roses healthy. Had to keep them looking nice and pretty. Janelle left the greenhouse with her new project in tow.

This little blonde wouldn't be getting hurt. Hady would make sure of it. Her beaming smile was met with the brunettes usual grin that everyone knew by now. At least she was polite and attentive. No messing about for this little one which was nice being as they didn't have time for any of that right then.

Hady watched as Hattie gave the movements for the charm a go. It seemed as if she were doing it properly. "Good job! I think you got it," she encouraged lightly. The real test would be once she was up in the air and trimming those leaves and twigs off the rose bush. All of the sixth years focus was on keeping the smaller girl up in the air with the use of the levitation charm. And so far so good. "Great job! Keep at it Hattie!" Nothing at all wrong in cheering on your partner and letting them know how well they're doing.

When Hattie shouted down that she was finished Hady slowly began to lower her back down being very careful. Only did she let out the breath she had been holding when the girls feet touched upon the soil once more with perfect timing being as Professor Myers was calling them all together. "You did an awesome job, how was it floating up in the air?," she asked quietly walking with her over to their Professor.

Aaawww, they were finishing early? Boooo! She was having fun being tiny! Hady sighed glancing around a moment before she began to grow back to her normal height alongside all her classmates. Feet touching down on the floor of the greenhouse once more. They were being told to grab a rose bush and then they could leave. Nice!

Grabbing her things she slung the strap of her bag over her shoulder and made way for the front of the room collecting herself a small pot of rose bush. Cute little thing it was. "Thanks for the lesson Professor!," she called out watching the man dash off to find an itty bitty still shrunken student.

Fiyero shook his head in a daze, crawling out from under the leaf he'd managed to trim. A concerned Professor Myers was there to greet him. "Yeah," he replied, getting back to his feet. No cuts, no bruised, nothing broken. "I think I'm fine, Professor.;

The same could not be said for his camera, however. The strap had been torn in hslf, and the lense was cracked. Fiyero sighed. Grandma wasn't going to be happy when she found out he'd already wrecked his new camera...

Oh, well...he supposed it could be worse. At least he'd managed to stop that leaf from crushing his classmates.

Text Cut: Time to get big

Well, Cornelius Baltazar needing to use the LOO was just the icing on Paul's RUHS RUSH RUSH TO BE BIG AGAIN cake. He held his wand aloft. "All right. All right kids! Let's get BIG BIG BIG--" and he waved his wand and undid the affects of the shrinking solution/shrinking charm. And they all....rose to their normal sizes once more.

Paul had left his shoes on the plant -________- Crud.

SO the red queen was BAREFOOT but that was okay because he had to RUN TO go find little---VERY LITTLE---Blaise Bellaire!

"OKAY EVERYONE--thank you for the cooperation! I really need to go find Mr. Bellaire--everyone take a small potted rosebush from the back!" he gestured at the back of the room where he had set all the baby!roses out. "I was going to make a list of the USE of roses but alas--I must cut it short!" he said, and without further ado.....

Paul ran out of the greenhouse, barefooted, wigged and STILL dressed very much like the Queen of Hearts.



OOC: Lololol I hadn't planned on ending my lesson so prematurely BUT...things happen. *lets it play its course* It was a lot of fun for me! thanks for entertaining me so much, guys! I'll leave this thread open for another few hours! <3

Pouting slightly, Fiyero went to stand in the middle of the rosebush with the rest if his classmates. Aww, just when he was starting to have fun! He had only just returned to his normal size when Professor Myers frantically dashed out of the greenhouse. "Bye, Professor!" he called, staring after him. Well, that was weird...

They got to take a rose with them? Cool! He had an idea Bec was going to be happy about that. He selected a rose from the back of the roim He'd never really tried his hand at gardening before, but he'd learned a lot today. Maybe he could manage to not kill it in the first week. He thought about sending it to his grandma -maybe the rose would make up for the ruined camera - but he decided against it. He was going to keep it as a reminder of a fun Herbology lesson!

Wait what? Kitty was totally confused about what going on. Today was definitely not her best performance. She felt a little guilty for not trying harder and made a determined effort in her mind to do better next time. But at least now she was big again and didn't have to worry about insects or getting stepped on.

She wasn't too worried about the student who left because she had faith in the professor's abilities to get everything back to normal. The Professor had already ran out of the room before she could thank for the lesson, so she quietly gathered her stuff and left the room.

Oooohh... Epsom salt. Bella couldn't believe she didn't think of that first. Now she remembered that was the white stuff her granny had sprinkled on her roses. Salt! Salt! Where was the salt? It had to be in one of the many buckets scattered around. Bella walked over to the closest one and grabbed a handful and began sprinkling it around the roses.

The next part of the riddle was an easy one to. The 'You can use your wand, snip snip snip!', gave it away. She was sure it had to be a spell, but which one? One that could be used to trim the roses. Bella went over some spells in her head, but before she was able to think of the right spell others had already shouted it out. Flipnsnipwitit! She looked up and wondered how she was going to trim the roses. There was no way she would climb the rose bush and she couldn't levitate herself and do the trimming spell at the same time, so she opted for trimming whatever she could reach.




Bella was ready for the next riddle, but when Professor Myers said that he would be making them big again she pouted a little. She was really enjoying this lesson, but it would soon be coming to an early end. Bella felt the shrinking solution wear off as her body grew bigger and bigger, back to its normal size. So Blaise Bellaire was responsible for the sudden ending of the class. Sighs! She watched as Professor Myers ran out of the greenhouse, before walking to the back to grab one of the potted rosebushes as instructed. Hmm… Which one? She took a moment before she picked the right one and left the greenhouse.
