Default Herbology Lesson I Color Changing Roses

On entering the greenhouse, the setup is quite unusual as opposed to previous lessons. While this is the first one of the year, anyone who had experienced a lesson with Paul before would know that he usually waited patiently for his students to arrive, greeting them cheerfully.

Today, however, was quite different.

Rosebushes were everywhere. Everywhere was actually an understatement, probably.

There is one single potted rosebush near the front of the room, and the tables are set up so that teacups were placed in front of each seat. Packets of sugar and little containers of cream were scattered casually on each table. Take note, if anyone were to touch any of the roses...they would turn white.

Professor Paul Myers is nowhere to be seen. There is a note written on the board for the students.

OOC: Hi guys! Welcome to the first Herbology lesson of term! I'll be moving on in about 20 hours or so! Familiarize yourself with not only our rules but also SS site rules, all of which apply.

Bella jumped when the greenhouse door slammed open and in came a woman dressed in red. Wait a second! That wasn't a woman, but Professor Myers dressed up in a costume. The way he was dressed reminded her of a story, but she couldn't remember what it was called because she was too worried about the painted flowers. Bella was indeed scared, well just a little bit, but more worried about losing her head. This had to be some kind of joke because that wouldn't really happen here at Hogwarts.

She relaxed when Professor Myers started laughing. So it was an act he had put on for the first class of the year, which was a relief. She for one didn’t want to lose her head. It took a moment before she came up with her opinion on why the roses changed color. “I believe you charmed them to change color to know when someone touched them or you’re secretly a super geneticist and figured out a way to alter the color in flowers.”

SPOILER!!: Professor Paul
Paul was running late, but for very good reason.

He was ....ah, getting ready. He glanced at his watch, GASPED, and fixed the wig atop his face without smearing ANY of the paint, and quickly ran to his first Herbology lesson of the term...in heels. What a feat! Milton would have been proud. Paul was PROUD OF HIMSELF, thank you very much.

Regardless of what the students were doing, Paul BURST into the greenhouse, slamming the door open QUITE dramatically.

"WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED? WHO has been panting MY ROSES RED?!" he cried, VERY much in character, GLARING at his students like he had never glared at them before. Did he look menacing? He was going for menacing. He grabbed a fistful of the red roses from a nearby bush and pulled them from the rest of the bush, internally wincing at the PLANT MURDERING he was doing, but this was all for character AND he could fix them in a moment. The roses turned white as soon as he touched them, and he throw them on the ground.

"Who dares to paint--the vulgar paint!--the royal flower bed?! For painting my roses red...SOMEONE WILL LOSE HIS HEAD!" Or her or unspecified. Ahem. Paul wanted to add.

And end scene. Paul smirked....began laughing...hysterically...and then took a bow because what a LOVELY performance that had been. He grabbed a cup of tea from one of the tables and moved to sit on the table in the front, crossing his feet at his ankles like he'd seen his mother do countless times while wearing a dress. He sipped his tea. "Everyone DRINK UP--" he said with a wink. "Now--if you noticed--" he gestured at the roses he had thrown. "The roses turned white when I touched them. Someone tell me why. Guess. Think. Make something up----GO--"

This was the first lesson of the year. Nothing too serious, eh? It was why he saw some MAJOR uniform violations and decided he wouldn't care about them...for now. HE was a walking uniform violation right now, wasn't he?



OOC: I got so excited I forgot to say...moving on sometime tomorrow for me. <3 Thanks to Kath for that manip that I asked for and she delivered A+ thanks for the lulz of posts so far, guys <3


Elsa wasn't paying much attention to the door so when the professor entered dressed up as the Queen os Spades from Alice in Wonderland, her heart leaped in her chest and dropped to her feet. Her lips started trembling. She did not want to laugh. Don't Laugh Elsa, DON'T LAUGH. She jumped and recoiled at the teacher's act, holding her laugh so hard it was becoming painful to her. She slapped her hand over her mouth muffling the giggles that were erupting. When the teacher's act was done and he bowed she couldn't handle it anymore.

She laugher, oh Merlin did she laugh. She folded over at the waist and laughed so loudly she was sure people inside the castle could hear her. Tears came to her eyes and she found herself struggling to breath. After a few minutes, she regained her composure - barely - cleaning the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry Professor but that was bloody brilliant!" she said, humor still in her voice as she gazed upon the teacher's dress. Nicely done!

Once he dropped his question Elsa got into full student mode, straightening up in her seat and raising her hand "The rose sucks some energy from us when we touch it, turning white? A spell?" she suggested. That could make sense if because of that they got dehydrated that that was the reason the professor insisted for them to drink.

Why was she noticing his lips? What was wrong with her these past few weeks? She turned her head down and started sketching some of the roses to keep her mind off of such details.

Her attention was caught when he took a sip from a a bottle of water. She didn't have liquids with her, but so far she felt OK. When the time came she would be perfectly fine having some tea.

The mystery of the red/white roses was intriguing her... but not as much as.. She took another peek at the boy. Maybe she could introduce herself?

"Hi..! I'm Elsa" she said with a small voice to him, waving her fingers as a hello.

As Dora plopped beside CHLOE NEWMAN she may have let out a small sigh, but was over it just as quickly. Heh. CHLOE. OMG. Giving her friend a quick side hug she asked, "How is term so far?" OH LOOK TEA! Dora immediately set about making her cuppa as she shot Carl a smile. Man he had a pretty face!

The boy would have been content with staring at the rosebushes until the lesson began, but heard a small voice calling out to him. Oh, the girl sitting next to him wanted to talk! That was really nice too. "Hi, Elsa! I am Carl." He said as he put down his water bottle and waved back. He shot a smile at Dora as well when he noticed her nearby.

The Second Year whipped his head around as somebody burst into the greenhouse. Was that - was that Professor Myers? He was impressed. At the question, he thought about how the rose turned white when he touched it. He could not think of any other reasons than the ones already stated, so he stayed silent and watched his classmates join in the performance.

Paul pushed his glasses onto the bridge of his nose. Merlin, why had he worn them today? “A spell? Well..not a bad guess, Abby!” he smiled in her direction.

SPOILER!!: Miranda

Randi was sure her attempt would be appreciated. Especially since she was a first year .


This one WAS not...completely wrong, no. “These roses are...well, no, they’re not ordinary, ha!” He chuckled. “They’re part magical, yes.” But he was looking for WHY EXACTLY or...WHAT CAUSED them to turn white.

SPOILER!!: Landon

His hand shot up in the air and as he was motioned too he quickly added, "Could it not be me to lose their head? I'm pretty fond of it actually..... and my mum would be very upset."he nodded and took a breath his hand still over his heart. "Could it be a color changing charm based on TEMPATURE!?" merlin he was WAY out of the box with that one but that'd be cool. "I mean... it did only change with a touch of the skin."... it made total logical sense to the 11 year old as he picked up his cup and slurped the tea a bit loudly. Oops.


OH HO HO! This one’s reaction had Paul laughing in STITCHES on the table. Wasn’t this one the Myers kid? His...distant cousin, Landon? Lando? Something of that sort. “.......” He stared at him. “HERBOLOGY MUST RUN IN THE FAMILY---” he hopped off the desk, forgetting he was donning heels, and sort of slipped but CAUGHT himself on the edge of the desk. “You’re CORRECT! DING DING DING! 3 points to Ravenclaw!” he clapped eagerly. “Temperature! TEMPERATURE!”

SPOILER!!: Haddie

Can a person choke on water? Because she was pretty sure she was choking on water right now. Consequence of holding in the spit take her body wanted to do. You can thank her later kid who seated right in front of her. When the choking had turned into laughter wasn't that clear. Maybe it was a combination of choking and laughing from the start, but Merlin, she was laughing hard.

It took her minutes to pull herself together, but one look at Myers again, and it all came apart. She burst into laughter again. She might have had a black thumb and found the subject of Herbology boring, but boy did Myers make his classes some of the most entertaining and fun at Hogwarts. Eventually, when she was able to, and between chuckles, Hadley managed an answer that was something like, "Because you wanted them to?" but not quite. It was hard to speak and try to keep yourself from bursting into laughter again.


PAHAHA! Paul glanced at Haddie. “Um...excuse me? Was that English, Miss Denaker?” It didn’t sound like it (;

SPOILER!!: Fiyero

He thought for a minute. Why did the roses change color?Maybe it was a charm, but somebody already suggested that. What else could it be? His mind went back to the note on the board when he walked in, and his hand shot up as an idea occurred to him. "Professor, the note you left on the board said hydration was important to the lesson," he said. "So maybe the changing colors has something to do with water... maybe the amount the roses get, or a special kind of water?"


Well, they needed to drink the tea for other reasons. But Paul would get to that shortly. And if they didn’t drink the tea…

Heh.

“Good guess, m’boy. Good guess.” But not exactly.

SPOILER!!: Azura

Azura hadnt even touched the roses! So could she kindly keep her head? She was.. Very attached to it..

Eh hem..

She put a hand to her heart as she took deep breaths as she tried to still the frantic pounding in her chest. Blazing Basiliks that has been scary! Her hands were shaking as she lowered them from her chest and moved them to her tea cup.

She didn't feel much like drinking them though.

Her Raven head tilted slightly as she listened to his question and her hand went into the air. " Because our touch sucked all the moisture out of them? Therefore turning them white?"

Welp.. She had guessed at least. That was what happened when the vampire bunny drank all the juice out of the vegetables in the book her Mom had read to her when she was little..

She shivered a little at her thoughts and turned back to the Professor.


That was a theory he hadn’t expected to hear, and was even more surprised to hear Azura make...for reasons.

“Eh..not exactly, m’dear, but GOOD GUESS.” Some of their guesses were kind of funny. Kept him amused.

SPOILER!!: Chloe

Now she was glad she hadn't drank whatever tea Professor Myers or the Queen of Hearts or whatever else he was going to claim to be made. This was a lot for a morning. Did he know that? Because he was getting unimpressed looks from a thirteen year old.

Why did they turn white? Because he made them do that so he could dress up because he was feeling unfilled in his personal life? She didn't know. Did it look like she knew? Chloe was thirteen. She didn't know why adults did HALF of the things they felt inclined to do.

So, like her mother taught, since she had nothing nice to say she would say nothing at all.

A quiet one. The quiet ones were sometimes dangerous. Take Daxton Prince, for example. Paul gave her an eyebrow wiggle before moving on.

And had he been able to READ MINDS, the answer to the cross dressing question would have been: YES.

SPOILER!!: Jaemin

As it were, the small boy sat frozen in his seat, eyes wide and fixed on... whatever Paul Myers was doing. A glass of water was clutched in his hands, still mostly full, and it was a very good thing it was sitting on the table and had not been at his mouth when the professor had come in, or he would have spit it everywhere.

Just everywhere. Water all over the place.

Absently detaching a hand from the glass, Jaemin scratched at his cheek, moving his eyes to the roses and keeping them there. Plants were never awkward.

"The oils and stuff on your skin can affect colours and how plants grow..." the twelve year old mumbled, tilting his head and staring at the one rose that he had accidentally turned white with the tip of his nose. "Magic might make that more... powerful and immediate?"

Maybe. Possibly. Who knew. Just like who knew why Professor Myers was in a dress and a wig.


It was obvious to Paul Jay was a Herbologist’s son. His answer was such...a Herbologist answer, to be honest. He smiled in the small boy’s direction. “They can, you’re right. But not exactly what I’m looking for this time!”

SPOILER!!: That Nicky Iver

Nicky vanished it quickly, not caring to focus enough to repair it. Not that she could have focused with.. that happening.

What in the name of Merlin pretending to be Morgana was happening right now? Painted Roses? Beheadings? Nicky narrowed her eyes at the spectacle, silently composing a letter to her parents about the travesty of an educational system they'd sent her to. Her thoughts were interrupted when the lunatic she assumed was her professor started to laugh and then posed a question to the class.

"Maybe because you're clearly mental," she muttered under her breath, sliding her feet off the desk and folding her arms on the table to put her head down.

What a disaster.


“WHAT WAS THAT, MISS IVER?” Paul YELLED out at her because..she looked a little sleepy, didn’t she? “I HOPE it was a well thought out ANSWER or at last a VERY CREATIVE guess, EHHHHH?”

Heh.

Teen angst.

SPOILER!!: Dalton

Somehow, Hogwarts got weirder ever year, he couldn't help but think, looking around to see how everyone else was taking the entrance, and snickering at the screams and yells let out by some people.

Alice in Wonderland wasn't something that had ever really interested him, but he'd grown up in the Muggle world, and therefore he knew about it. And he knew that in it Alice had tried to trick the Queen of Heart when her Knaves had planted the wrong type of roses. Or something like that. Maybe he was wrong. As for why the plants had changed colour when they were touched...

Well, it was safe to say he had as much clue about that as he did why Professor Myers would want to wear a dress: no clue whatsoever.


Another quiet one. Maybe his performance had left some of the in awe. Paul assumed that, yes.

SPOILER!!: Cornelius

But who cared about family jewels; there was a FREAKING RED QUEEN IN DA HOUSE! OMM!!!!

He held it in. The fan-boying. He held it in until...Someone will lose his head...

"Off with their head!!" GIGGLE!SNORT. HAHAHAHA. FANBOYING LEVEL AT 100%.

Still laughing into his hand, cheeks red from trying to control his laughter, Cornelius took a long chug of tea, finishing it up in one sip when Professor Red Queen Myers said so. Any man brave enough to wear such a gown earned Cornelius' respect.

At the question his hand shot up faster than lightning. "Oh, oh, oh!" ME ME ME ME. MYERS MEEEEE. "Because they are special roses and the changing colors is like, some sort of mechanism. Like...a defense mechanism and when they don't sense danger they go back to being red but if you touch them they turn white." He just made that up because it sounded cool and Myers did say to make something up, so he made something up.

The Slytherin boy raised his hand again and added, "Great outfit, by the way. 100% awesome." He gave Myers a BIG THUMBS UP and a dimply smile. He was writing his mum about this.

Dear Ma', my Herbology teacher (the one with the poncho) wore a gown today and threatened someone would lose their head. xx Cornelius.


Oh! Cornelius was CRACKING up and amusing Paul greatly, and he bowed his head. “I’ve had this outfit for years--” ahem. “I FINALLY had an excuse to wear it again.”

AHEM.

Anyways.

“Thank you, Mr. Baltazar. And that’s a VERY interesting theory you have.” Hmm. Gave him ideas for some cross-breeding experiments.

SPOILER!!: Maddie

At least that dress was a step up from the ponchos the man was usually sporting. He could have credit for that. Also, not drinking the tea. The brunette didn't quite trust consuming things that she had not witnessed being prepared. She would just pretend to sip every now and then.

"Perhaps something to do with transpiration," She offered after raising her hand.

It was very hard to take this class seriously when the man in charge looked like that but she was trying. For now.



Transpiration. Hmmm. Paul gave Miss Cooper a curious look. “Well…..that would make sense...alas, not the answer I’m looking for! But good thinking!” he smiled.

SPOILER!!: Brian

Nothing really surprised him anymore, about the strangeness of the magical community, but this? He did not sign up for a lesson in theatrics. And since he was really no authority on why magical plants did what they did - even if he was very sure roses were mundane - he shrugged. He'd wait for the answer given.

For now, he'd just sit in somewhat uncharacteristic silence. And sip his tea. Because he understood exactly zero of what was going on.


MORE QUIET STUDENTS.

Paul just flinged a rose at Brian, hoping to maybe jolt him out of his daydreaming daze. THIS WAS CLASS, BOY.

Plopped into it and continue to stare at the Professor.

Forgot to mention it, but there was probably very little blinking too. His tear ducts were gonna run as dry as his tongue if he didn't blink....but he couldn't Forget even answering the Question. THAT WAS AWESOME!


And….laughter was an acceptable response, of course, since Paul was dressed ridiculously.

SPOILER!!: Rula

Herbology wasn't her favorite subject, but they definitely made her curious about this lesson.

And then-

o_O


Professor Myers burst into the room, yelling and in a bright red costume and who had painted what and people were going to lose their heads?????

Rula just blinked a couple times, not sure how to feel about this kind of lesson introduction. On the one hand, O+ for the performance effort. On the other hand????

But anyway...time to start the lesson, right? She should answer this question? Yeah, she could do that, even though it might not technically be the correct answer. She managed a polite smile and raised her hand. "Maybe they turned white because they wanted to be part of your act."

Maybe they were magic flowers that liked to be used in dramatic performances and changed on their own. That would be pretty cool, actually. Rula would totally get a ton of those for herself if they existed.


Oh..HO HO! Paul laughed. “Very smart answer, Miss Botros. VERY smart--so funny--alas, I don’t think they have the thinking capabilities to WANT to be a part of my act, though I assure you, if they did, they wouldn’t pass up the chance!”

SPOILER!!: Dante

Which was not smething he really wanted to do. Dante just stared and stared and stared at the man until he stopped with the everything and told them a question. Well not really stopped but was serious for a brief moment.

Probably had something to do with skin contact.

Though he did not really want to enable him by actually answering.

So he was going to continue to stare.


He raised an eyebrow at Dante. “Have you never seen a grown man dressed as a WOMAN before, Dante?!” and he just chortled to himself and moved on to someone with their hand ACTUALLY up.

SPOILER!!: Matt

Matt was used to his cousin's mental performances and stuff, but those usually made sense - in his opinion - but he ad NO CLUE what the professor was going for with THAT.

WEEEEEEEEIRD.

So he stared. And continued to stare in shock. What did that MEAN? MATT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. Was the professor mental? No one was painting the roses red, they were turning WHITE! "Whaaaaa???"

What was HAPPENING?

Oh, and he'd have tea, yas. Tea was good.


Except this kid just went WHAAAAA and Paul decided to reply back with “WHAAAAAAA?” right back because WHAT A WASTE OF AN ANSWER you know?

SPOILER!!: Cal

Was the school absolutely sure this man wasn't completely mental? Above all that, the fourth year had no clue what the answer to question was. If anything, the flowers were probably as shocked as he was and the red was drained out of them. "They were s-sc-cared pale." He mumbled, setting his head down to rest on his arms.


The boy was making this into a metaphor, wasn’t he? The roses were a metaphor for the boy. Hmph. “Well, I’m sorry if I’ve frightened you--I promise, I won’t ACTUALLY be chopping off any heads. Unless it’s lettuce, because salad is very yummy, you know?”

Rooney wasn't sure what he expected from this lesson or from this Professor, but it cERTAINLY hadn't been what had happened. It certainly had been nothing like what was happening right now. And this wasn't even a dream. Recreations of anything Disney was his THING. And he had his co-star RIGHT beside him. This was fate.

Maybe Professor Myers wasn't as bad as he always had been.

Maybe he'd fallen and hit his head though, because Rooney was a little in awe of his face paint skills. It took TIME to get that eye look and the pasty face and the lips and...Roo really did appreciate the details before him. So much so that he knocked his tea over and stood on his chair with a foot on the table. "OH NO! Your majesty, please! It's all his fault!" He wasn't fluent in this, no..not at all.

Liv needed to join in.

LIV NEEDED TO GET IN ON THIS. UGH THIS WOULD BE SO AMAZING IF THEY WORKED TOGETHER SO WELL.

They needed costumes, honestly. But their talent was buckets and spades more than anyone in this room so they could cope without.

As for the answer to Professor Myers' question... Rooney gave nothing of an answer but thought about how white was the colour of innocence and clEARLY they were all innocent in here. CLEARLY. None of them had painted those darn roses.

But it served them right.. For planting white.. When roses should have been red..

Oh darn.. Off with their HEADS!


Oh my.

OH MY.

OOOOHHHH MYYYYY!

Paul clapped, proudly, at Roo’s little performance. What a ham, he was! He was quite delighted! “Oh such good acting! One point for you, m’boy!” he said. “You’re familiar with the movie, then?” Paul should explain to the class about his..recent obsession.

...IN A MOMENT, THOUGH.

She had almost fallen on her bum there. But yeah, she did recognise the character. That Queen from Alice in Wonderland. She knew that, but the general appearance of her Professor was frightening to a degree. Vivi finished up her glass of water before setting her full attention at his Royal Highness.

OHHHH first question! "EEEEHHHH! Your Majesty, pick me!!" the Slytherin wiggled on her seat and waved her hand frantically in front of the Professor. "Maybe the roses got scared!" Why else would it turn white then, right? She did listen to the other people respond. They were entitled to their point of view but she was gonna stick to what she believed him.

BOUNCEBOUNCEBOUNCE on her seat!


Your majesty. That had a niiiiiice ring to it. Paul could get used to it, heh. Queen Professor Paul Myers. HIS ROYAL MAJESTY.

HAHA. “MAYBE so, Vivian. Maybe so.” Now wasn’t she precious.

It was something that she really liked about the man.

Shaking her head, she raised her hand. "Judging by the fact that hydration is important for this lesson, I agree with those who think it relates to the moisture from your hands."


Another one misled by his directions on the board. “Well, you’ll see about the tea, Miss Darcy!”

Now the Professor was looking like something out of his little sister's story books...and yelling about painted roses and WHY they were changing colour and "Professor I don't think responsible Prefects should be standing on tables, acting disruptive and causing commotions. It doesn't represent them very well and is in poor taste and makes it hard for me to learn." If any other Prefect had done it, it would have been funny (except stupid Penelope), but this was Rooney and nothing he did was funny because the guy was absolutely mean and rotten.

As for the question the man had asked, it only garnered a scowl from the boy because of what it potentially implied.

"Is it because stupid magic was used on them?" That was typically why anything did what it did around here. Blaise flicked at a rose petal and watched it change colour.

Yup, pretty much looked like magic to him. Blaise picked up his cup one more and took a long sip. Consider him unamused.


Well. Someone had clearly rolled off on the wrong side of the BREAD this morning. Paul merely eyed the boy curiously before answering. “I think it’s okay for Rooney to get excited, Blaise. He knows what I’m referencing and ...his display was QUITE good, too. I assure you, I wouldn’t like it if EVERY lesson he jumped on the table--” he just didn’t know how else to explain to Blaise that HE, the PROFESSOR wasn’t mad at Rooney or anything.

“And...yes, a bit, Mr. Bellaire.”

DON’T BE SUCH A FUN SUCKER, BLAISE.

Just nope. So much nope.

Dora sat staring with her bug like wide eyes and crossed her arms. Until they all piped down she wasn't participating in this class. HMPH!


Another Gryffindor being a sourpuss. He could see the look on her face. Paul offered Dora a rose...COME ON CHILDREN BE HAPPY.

Olivia Lynn Phillips swooned.

Professor Myers had just earned himself a very smol, very BLONDE fangirl. Thank you, and goodnight.

....BUT THE EXCITEMENT HADN'T STOPPED THERE. THERE WAS DIALOGUE HAPPENING. Actual quotes from her absolute favorite Disney film of ALL TIME were being spoken in her presence!!!!! With a clatter, her tea cup, which had been poised at her lips when the show had began, fell noisily to the table....soaking their table cloth and chipping the cup. The irony that she'd just unknowingly recreated a Beauty and the Beast character was lost on her at the moment.

....and Rooney. HER Rooney! Wasn't he just BRILLIANT?! Wasn't he just EVERYTHING wonderful in the entire world?! WHY, YES, BRONWYN. Challenge accepted....Though, in a rare show of decorum, Liv kept both of her feet planted firmly on the ground....because 1) there wasn't enough space on their table for the both of them....and 2) she didn't want to be on a separate table. Hmph.

...and Blaise was receiving the most disappointed look right now. Her gaze lingered on him for a few moments, crestfallen...before she cut right across him and joined her #TheaterBestie in the performance. YES. SHE KNEW ALL THESE WORDS. Did Chloe have her liquid eyeliner in her bag?! Would she let Liv borrow is so she could draw some Clubs on hers and Roo's faces?! No, no, Liv supposed that'd be too much. Their performance would simply have to be a standalone. Alas. *DRAMATIC*

"Not me, Your Grace....The Ace! The Ace!!!"

Though, she'd decided to forego a table top, Liv made big, sweeping gestures with her arms, extending and acting through the parts of the scene that she both loved and knew by heart.



Nah, but seriously, Liv didn't have an answer for you, Professor Your Grace. She was only just now taking this all seriously.....if she could get on the level with you all. BUT YES, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WAY TO GET HER FULL, UNDIVIDED ATTENTION.

D I S N E Y!


OH ME OH MY, Olivia! Paul was doubly impressed now! WOW. He clapped again. “And another point to you, to Gryffindor!” he chuckled and swept across the room.

This just delighted him entirely too much. MERLIN. He pulled an ace card from his sleeve and placed it on Olivia’s desk, winking as he walked by her desk. Adorable, really. Adorable.

Noelle giggle snorted when Professor Myers walked into the classroom...... Dressed as the Red Queen. Her vision was playing out in her head!!! Only, she had thought of Professor Myers as the Mad Hatter. Of course, now she had to make some adjustments. Sabbie could be the Mad Hatter, and Professor Myers... The Red Queen. Though, Professor Myers did make a good Red Queen. Noelle clapped. She couldn't help it. "BRAVO BRAVO!"

She loved Disney.

But now her attention was brought back to the roses. ..... And the responses of others. Most looked appalled but Professor Myers costume and dramatics but Noelle was quite pleased.

Raising her hand, she called out. Does it have anything to do with how like mood rings change colors?" Magbe the heat of your touch? It was a guess, because Noelle had noooo idea.

But she did want to change into an Alice costume.


And he took a GRAND bow at Noelle Summers because she seemed quite IMPRESSED with his performance. Hehe. “Thank you, Miss Summers--you flatter me!” Mood rings? “Ha! Are you suggesting that rosebushes have MOODS?” He found THAT adorable as well.

He knew that movie coming from the muggle world and everything. He was kind of impressed.

He eyed him carefully and he knew he wasn't going to drink the tea. The professor might have put something in it. He continued to drink his water and now the crazy professor wanted to know why the roses changed color? How would he know? "Maybe you got the magic touch?" Yup the only comment he got. Might as well use it. Seemed appropriate for this situation.


HA! Paul laughed. “That I do, m’boy, that I do!” Pffffft. Magic touch. Cheeky.

What even? Now he was glad he didn't touch the tea, if that's what the Professor was drinking, he didn't want to think about the state of mind his peers would be in... eventually.

Zeke sat where he was, his expression neutral as he watched Myers carry on like a maniac with the whole dress thing, and the hair thing, and the roses and taking peoples' heads thing.

Of course, he KNEW what the man was going for, but it didn't make it any less weird.

In an effort to bring some normalcy back to the classroom, Zeke rised his hand and offered his response. "Chemistry, Professor... the chemical reaction between the your touch, a human touch, any touch? and the roses petals..." which would obviously have some amazing genetic makeup for the reaction to occur. Right?


The boy was close. “Chemistry has something to do with it..and touch, yes, right…” GO ON? Paul purses his painted lips.

she was totally thinking about of the box, and most defiantly wanting some more tea. "would it be okay if i had another cup Sir?" she asked politely, anything thats going to distract her and get her away from the dirt. that would work.

Flipping her hair from out of her face she listened to the other students give their guesses, spotting a few friends while they spoke. Echo waved at Colt "haiii" she said quietly.


Oh...well that was a very creative response! Paul smiled at Echo. “I think that’s interesting--and certainly a smart thought, Echo!” And of course she could have some more tea! He nodded at her question.

“Or Professor Myers has lost it” she offered with a shrug of her shoulder…Colt’s answer made her snort. “Nah…it’d turn gold if he had the magic in him.” Mel grinned. Midus.


What was that? Paul couldn’t quite hear Melbourne. “You’re mumbling, m’dear--what’d you SAY?” he asked curiously, because maybe it was well thought out and interesting!

Though it seemed that his dislike of Olly won out, something for which Olly was extremely grateful. He opened his mouth to greet his Gryffindor friend when the commotion began.

What was that? Or rather, who? It seemed to be a queen. Also something that was probably from Alice in Wonderland. That wasn't something Olly was too familiar with, but he did understand the concept and this was definitely very Alice in Wonderland-like. Was that...professor Myers? How had he done that to his face? That was very impressive. It must have taken him hours. Olly squinted, trying to memorize it so he could attempt to recreate it. Because it would indeed be very impressive if he could do it. Olly was too distracted to pour himself some tea but maybe that would be happening later. Answering the question, though, that should happen presently.

"Well they're magic, probably." That probably wasn't a very good answer, was it? Of course they were magic. Olly thought for just a moment and then elaborated. "Could it maybe have anything to do with heat from out touch? I know there are toys and cups and things that change colors if you hold them or make them a different temperature."


DING DING DING! Another one! “You are CORRRRECT!” he clapped a bit. “And they ARE magic, yes but--YES, M’BOY!” he was so PROUD of his smart students! UGH. Paul wanted to hug them all! Only not right now because his facepaint would probably get messed up, and that had taken HOURS.

And plenty of other students were volunteering to guess why the roses changed colors.

It was pretty cool, though, having flowers that could change color. Isabella wondered if it was a charm or if the flowers had been bred that way. Venus flytraps could sense touch, she wondered if these roses had sensitive hairs or something like that.


Aaaaaand Paul smiled encouragingly at THIS quiet one because she was a first year AND Isabella just seemed so sweet. His badgers <3

He just listened to the other students speak. Gendry was still flustered about the tea.


Paul hadn’t noticed when Cornelius spilled his tea, but he DID see Gendry spill his. So...he waved his wand and cleared up the spilled tea from the boy’s lap. “There there, ALL BETTER!”

The fourth year looked around as everyone started throwing out answers and stayed quiet. Philipe was always quiet in class it seemed. He didn't like talking, and it seemed the others had a perfectly fine time talking, so there was not a need for him to do the same right? The fourteen year old nodded as if to agree with his own thought and took of his tea, just waiting for class to continue.


His badgers were so quiet, so innocent. So sweet. He just smiled and hoped the boy was at least PAYING ATTENTION you know?

WHERE WAS THE PROFESSOR?!

Louise frantically looked around, keeping one eye on the Queen and the swinging roses, and another on the crazy student standing on the table... the crazy student... meaning her House Prefect? Was she supposed to stand on the table too? She heard what her prefect was saying and realized that he should have been in Gryffindor. Standing up to the Queen of Hearts like that? Didn't he know what would happen to him?

Louise tried to warn him but gave a frightened little squeak before she slipped beneath the table to wait for the professor to come and rescue the class. Consequently, she didn't hear Professor Myers' question, especially over the commotion.


...WAS SHE LEGITIMATELY SCARED OF HIM? Paul clicked his tongue. “M’dear--I AM Professor Myers---I promise no real heads will roll today!” Was his getup THAT believable? HIs acting SKILLZ were that good, eh?

He felt smug.

SPOILER!!: Daxton

Not that he had ever truly forgotten.

Mostly, it was loud. The chatter had started to build and the volume of the class had crept up, making it wholly uncomfortable. Daxton had already put on his stolen-from-Paul-Myers earmuffs to block the worst of it out, including the sounds of those slurping on their probably-poisoned beverages. Also, there was a lot of moving around, and one kid had managed to get tangled in the rose bushes after somehow crashing into them, and roses were turning white left, right, and centre. It was altogether too overwhelming, and even as Blaise came to sit beside him, Daxton was wondering whether he could make a swift exit before Myers could show up and notice. As it happened, Daxton's signature move in class was the Swift Exit.

Turning his attention to Blaise, Daxton was momentarily distracted by the Gryffindor's actions with the teacup. He watched him curiously, wondering if Blaise would drink, but not advising him against it, preferring to see what would happen if he drank. The moment's distraction, however, cost him dearly, and suddenly a great dramatic movement out of the corner of his eye had Daxton spinning in his chair to find the culprit.

He could not hear quite so well, because of the earmuffs, but oh could he see Myers, in all his strange attire. Daxton blinked, then stared, then frowned in confusion, tracking Myers' progress through the classroom and watching his expression change quite drastically, until it was obvious that he was laughing.

The theme of the lesson was now abundantly clear: Alice in Wonderland. Daxton's thoughts were on that, and not on finding out whatever Myers had asked the class. Looking between the professor and the teacup Daxton had nudged away earlier, his suspicion spiked. He reached out, and shoved the teacup even further away, then avoided even looking at it, as though it might get him that was. Instead he looked at Myers, noting that red really was not his colour.

.......... But then kids were yelling dramatically - Daxton did not need to be able to hear them to know that, though the earmuffs could only do so much - and Rooney Bronwyn was up on a table. The entire lesson was already too much too much to much, and it had only just begun. More unsettled than usual, Daxton shot a glance at Blaise, then at the door. He did not know what his Gryffindor associate would do, but Daxton was planning to leave the second he was sure he could do so discreetly, and was already prepared for a Swift Exit.


Paul usually tried to make sure Mr. Prince was okay--but right now, he saw the boy merely being calm and quiet (which really he USUALLY was) but..sometimes calm and quiet was unnerving, like with Daxton.

But moving on, moving on, here.

Sure, he’s seen a kabuki countless times when he was younger, but that didn’t stop him from having his heart in his throat.

He winced when his own prefect joined in on the fun. Jace looked at the older boy from head to foot, wondering if he had consumed the tea. Slowly, with his other hand, he politely pushed away the teacup before him, and had the glass of water sit beside it. Contamination is the worst.

Averting his attention back to the professor, he tried his best to come up with an answer without wincing at the sight.

Merlin, he looked like Jace’s living nightmare.

Finally closing his mouth, the Ravenclaw slowly raised his hand and waited for his turn to answer, “Could it be…the sudden change of temperature? Erm…it’s to…signify someone’s presence perhaps?”

Eye twitch.

Seriously, Professor Myers can wipe the gunk off of his face now, thank you.


“The temperature part is right, m’boy--very good!” he smiled at young Jacen. “But not for...someone’s presence, no. We’ll get into that, though!”

Woah, professor dressed as a fairytale character and yelling something about painting roses. She had not been expecting that. Then there was Rooney acting out more of the scene. Penelope clapped for the performance, wondering what this had do do with herbology. Okay, on to serious business. Why did the roses turn white when touched. "Are the roses charmed to change color when something contacts the petals?" She had heard of flowers changing color by absorbing colored water, but had never seen anything quite like this. Why was it especially important for them to be hydrated today?


“Well, not just ANY something, Miss Wright, but good guess!” and she was, obviously, on the right track!

The sugar quill was now steadily melting, left behind as she watched the playacting speculatively. She wasn’t about to join in. She didn’t act. She danced, and she played violin, but both her pointe shoes and her violin were back in her dorm so therefore she wasn’t going to join in.

Nor did she suggest a reason for the color changing roses. Besides, nobody had painted them red anyhow. They’d turned white, and once again she wasn’t joining in when it came to Alice in Wonderland dramatics.


Paul was used to Brooklyn’s lack of...well, effort, in his lessons, but it didn’t bother him. She was just one of those students who was a big more uptight than he was! He sent her a tiny grin.

Apparently tea made you pee more?! Where had he gotten that information from, Selina had no idea if that was even close to true, and she didn't care anyway. She loved tea. She took a seat at one of the rose covered benches while Tenacious went off to get his water.
It was just as Selina was raising her cup or freshly made tea to her mouth that the HoH made his entrance. Selina dropped her cup of tea in surprise, shattering yet her second piece of china in just as many days and drenching both herself and the roses around her in hot tea.

The HoH's entrance just made her feel ashamed to be in Hufflepuff yet again, he seemed to be entirely undignified, and she carefully re-adjusted her 'found' Slytherin scarf to cover up her yellow badge and tie. She did however think she may have an idea about the answer of his question.



"Has it perhaps got something to do with water absorption? Do the roses absorb the water from our skin, and turn white when fully hydrated?"
It was her best guess, and she thought it was a pretty good one. It wasn't like she'd seen anything about these roses in her Herbology book, and it was only her first ever lesson.


Again, misled by his inscription on the board. Paul just smirked a little. “Ah...very good guess, Selina--but no no, I am looking for something else!” Was she wearing a Slytherin scarf?! He gave her a puzzled look before moving on.

But, TORN. Because on the other hand? She was ALMOST FOURTEEN so probably should be too GROWN for all this right?

She looked down at the tea, which she hadn't yet sipped, and wondered if maybe it was going to make them all shrink or grow or anything like that. That could be fun!

She put her hand up, the teaspoon still in it. A drip of tea rolled off the spoon and down her forearm.

"Professor, are the flowers weight sensitive? So that gardeners could maybe tell its been pollinated?"


WEIGHT sensitive? Paul stared at Char for a second. “Well, that’s not the answer. But you’ve given me an idea, yes--” he smiled and made a mental note to send a few owls out after class.

WEIGHT SENSITIVE.

It would have been over, had the students not jumped in. Glad for the temporary distraction, Janelle took this opportunity to get some tea. She figured that all was well now.

When Janelle sat back down with her cup of tea, the first question was posed. Why had the roses turned white after being touched? Her classmates presented some pretty interesting theories. They thought of possibilities that hadn't occurred to Janelle. After giving the question some thought, she raised her hand. "Is it possible that the body heat from a person could make the roses changes.......or perhaps coming into contact with body oils?" Or maybe they were just charmed to change. Who knew? Janelle couldn't wait to hear the real answer though.


BODY HEAT! Paul BEAMED at Janelle. “YES YES! Body HEAT! You’re quite right--and more specifically about the BODY HEAT, Janelle! Take three points!” he grinned and went back to the front of the room...they were just about ready to move on a bit, eh?

The commotion from just this alone was enough to have slightly startled her calm atmosphere causing the tea to slosh over the sides of her cup and onto her hands. "Ouch.." she muttered quietly quickly putting her cup down on the table before she ended up burning herself again. Thankfully it wasn't to bad, her hands being a little red from where the hot liquid had touched.

Grabbing for a napkin she wiped up some of the mess that had dripped down onto her table. At least it hadn't been worse then that. This was normal for Hogwarts but usually not for this lesson. Anyhow a question was being asked about the color changing roses and like most of the time the same answers were being given. Really she wasn't sure but chances were they were just some special type of magical rose that changed color when pulled from the bush which it grew on. Not everything had to be complicated.


Alas, he did not see Hadleigh spill her tea, but he sent her a cheerful smile and a nod in her direction as he glazed over the class...did anyone had anything else to add or guess about, eh?

Bella was indeed scared, well just a little bit, but more worried about losing her head. This had to be some kind of joke because that wouldn't really happen here at Hogwarts.

She relaxed when Professor Myers started laughing. So it was an act he had put on for the first class of the year, which was a relief. She for one didn’t want to lose her head. It took a moment before she came up with her opinion on why the roses changed color. “I believe you charmed them to change color to know when someone touched them or you’re secretly a super geneticist and figured out a way to alter the color in flowers.”


A secret super geneticist. “Ah...m’dear, I am no geneticist. I have friends--alas, not me,” he put a hand on his chest and chuckled. He wished he were, though. Making his own crossbreeds would be nice…

If not a little reckless.

She slapped her hand over her mouth muffling the giggles that were erupting. When the teacher's act was done and he bowed she couldn't handle it anymore.

She laugher, oh Merlin did she laugh. She folded over at the waist and laughed so loudly she was sure people inside the castle could hear her. Tears came to her eyes and she found herself struggling to breath. After a few minutes, she regained her composure - barely - cleaning the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry Professor but that was bloody brilliant!" she said, humor still in her voice as she gazed upon the teacher's dress. Nicely done!

Once he dropped his question Elsa got into full student mode, straightening up in her seat and raising her hand "The rose sucks some energy from us when we touch it, turning white? A spell?" she suggested. That could make sense if because of that they got dehydrated that that was the reason the professor insisted for them to drink.


SUCKING ENERGY. “Well, you know, that’s a good guess, Elsa! But no no--” he smiled.

That was really nice too. "Hi, Elsa! I am Carl." He said as he put down his water bottle and waved back. He shot a smile at Dora as well when he noticed her nearby.

The Second Year whipped his head around as somebody burst into the greenhouse. Was that - was that Professor Myers? He was impressed. At the question, he thought about how the rose turned white when he touched it. He could not think of any other reasons than the ones already stated, so he stayed silent and watched his classmates join in the performance.


Paul waved his hand at Carl dramatically, basically his way of telling the boy HELLLLLLO!



He sat atop the table in the front once more. “As Landon, Oliver both mentioned---TEMPERATURE is what changes the color, exactly. And even more specifically, our BODY heat is what does it for the roses, as Janelle said, but I must show you--” he waved his wand, and an ENORMOUS blast of HOT AIR shot out, enveloping the entire room and...changing all of the roses white. Paul waved his wand again to get rid of it. “They are VERY sensitive to temperature change, actually, and they turn WHITE to actually show they are too warm. It’s mostly helpful if they’ve been kept in the sun too long and need some shade for a few hours or day or so.”

WASN’T THAT COOL?

“Now, mundane roses do turn whiter in color in the summer. So, some of you suggesting this is a magical hybrid are correct--they ARE a hybrid, created by Herbologist Theodore Wimbleton in 2065. So they’re relatively NEW to the field, as you can see. BUT with care...and love...they’re pretty similar to regular roses, as you all..will see.Oh he smirked a bit evilly there.

“First lesson of the year! So...we’re doing some easier things today, kids! Tell me the parts of the rose plant--which did you all know was a SHRUB, actually?” How funny. He slipped off the table and grabbed a piece of chalk, for once using his hand and not his wand to draw on the board. He drew a pretty simple flower. “Don’t worry about writing this stuff down. Just..let’s go over it before we get into our activity. BUT--what ARE the parts of the rose and what is their function? Tell me everything you know!”



ooc: WHOOO hi again, guys! Wonderful jobs, really, I'm having an enormous amount of fun and UGH *pinches all your cheeks in love and adoration* I'll be moving on in 15 or so hours! I would like to put the points in for those of you Paul just gave points to, but I'm jetting off to class and will do that when I get out! So...HAPPY POSTING <3

Thankfully no one seemed to have noticed her little mishap with the tea. Good good. It was embarrassing enough to her that she had spilled the drink but it would've been worse had anyone noticed. The small mess was already cleaned up and her hands were still a little red but slowly fading, no trip to the healer needed.

Hadleigh returned the smile from Professor Myers sitting back in her chair as she listened to the man explain how the roses were sensitive to temperature. Much like the flowers and butterflies of her tattoo, temperature and touch made them move, not change colors but it was close. "Torns. Roses typically have torns," she answered lifting a hand into the air. Painful little things torns were. As she knew fairly well being as she tended to prick herself on them often enough.

This one WAS not...completely wrong, no. “These roses are...well, no, they’re not ordinary, ha!” He chuckled. “They’re part magical, yes.” But he was looking for WHY EXACTLY or...WHAT CAUSED them to turn white.



OH HO HO! This one’s reaction had Paul laughing in STITCHES on the table. Wasn’t this one the Myers kid? His...distant cousin, Landon? Lando? Something of that sort. “.......” He stared at him. “HERBOLOGY MUST RUN IN THE FAMILY---” he hopped off the desk, forgetting he was donning heels, and sort of slipped but CAUGHT himself on the edge of the desk. “You’re CORRECT! DING DING DING! 3 points to Ravenclaw!” he clapped eagerly. “Temperature! TEMPERATURE!”



PAHAHA! Paul glanced at Haddie. “Um...excuse me? Was that English, Miss Denaker?” It didn’t sound like it (;



Well, they needed to drink the tea for other reasons. But Paul would get to that shortly. And if they didn’t drink the tea…

Heh.

“Good guess, m’boy. Good guess.” But not exactly.



That was a theory he hadn’t expected to hear, and was even more surprised to hear Azura make...for reasons.

“Eh..not exactly, m’dear, but GOOD GUESS.” Some of their guesses were kind of funny. Kept him amused.


A quiet one. The quiet ones were sometimes dangerous. Take Daxton Prince, for example. Paul gave her an eyebrow wiggle before moving on.

And had he been able to READ MINDS, the answer to the cross dressing question would have been: YES.



It was obvious to Paul Jay was a Herbologist’s son. His answer was such...a Herbologist answer, to be honest. He smiled in the small boy’s direction. “They can, you’re right. But not exactly what I’m looking for this time!”



“WHAT WAS THAT, MISS IVER?” Paul YELLED out at her because..she looked a little sleepy, didn’t she? “I HOPE it was a well thought out ANSWER or at last a VERY CREATIVE guess, EHHHHH?”

Heh.

Teen angst.



Another quiet one. Maybe his performance had left some of the in awe. Paul assumed that, yes.



Oh! Cornelius was CRACKING up and amusing Paul greatly, and he bowed his head. “I’ve had this outfit for years--” ahem. “I FINALLY had an excuse to wear it again.”

AHEM.

Anyways.

“Thank you, Mr. Baltazar. And that’s a VERY interesting theory you have.” Hmm. Gave him ideas for some cross-breeding experiments.



Transpiration. Hmmm. Paul gave Miss Cooper a curious look. “Well…..that would make sense...alas, not the answer I’m looking for! But good thinking!” he smiled.



MORE QUIET STUDENTS.

Paul just flinged a rose at Brian, hoping to maybe jolt him out of his daydreaming daze. THIS WAS CLASS, BOY.



And….laughter was an acceptable response, of course, since Paul was dressed ridiculously.



Oh..HO HO! Paul laughed. “Very smart answer, Miss Botros. VERY smart--so funny--alas, I don’t think they have the thinking capabilities to WANT to be a part of my act, though I assure you, if they did, they wouldn’t pass up the chance!”



He raised an eyebrow at Dante. “Have you never seen a grown man dressed as a WOMAN before, Dante?!” and he just chortled to himself and moved on to someone with their hand ACTUALLY up.



Except this kid just went WHAAAAA and Paul decided to reply back with “WHAAAAAAA?” right back because WHAT A WASTE OF AN ANSWER you know?



The boy was making this into a metaphor, wasn’t he? The roses were a metaphor for the boy. Hmph. “Well, I’m sorry if I’ve frightened you--I promise, I won’t ACTUALLY be chopping off any heads. Unless it’s lettuce, because salad is very yummy, you know?”



Oh my.

OH MY.

OOOOHHHH MYYYYY!

Paul clapped, proudly, at Roo’s little performance. What a ham, he was! He was quite delighted! “Oh such good acting! One point for you, m’boy!” he said. “You’re familiar with the movie, then?” Paul should explain to the class about his..recent obsession.

...IN A MOMENT, THOUGH.



Your majesty. That had a niiiiiice ring to it. Paul could get used to it, heh. Queen Professor Paul Myers. HIS ROYAL MAJESTY.

HAHA. “MAYBE so, Vivian. Maybe so.” Now wasn’t she precious.



Another one misled by his directions on the board. “Well, you’ll see about the tea, Miss Darcy!”



Well. Someone had clearly rolled off on the wrong side of the BREAD this morning. Paul merely eyed the boy curiously before answering. “I think it’s okay for Rooney to get excited, Blaise. He knows what I’m referencing and ...his display was QUITE good, too. I assure you, I wouldn’t like it if EVERY lesson he jumped on the table--” he just didn’t know how else to explain to Blaise that HE, the PROFESSOR wasn’t mad at Rooney or anything.

“And...yes, a bit, Mr. Bellaire.”

DON’T BE SUCH A FUN SUCKER, BLAISE.



Another Gryffindor being a sourpuss. He could see the look on her face. Paul offered Dora a rose...COME ON CHILDREN BE HAPPY.



OH ME OH MY, Olivia! Paul was doubly impressed now! WOW. He clapped again. “And another point to you, to Gryffindor!” he chuckled and swept across the room.

This just delighted him entirely too much. MERLIN. He pulled an ace card from his sleeve and placed it on Olivia’s desk, winking as he walked by her desk. Adorable, really. Adorable.



And he took a GRAND bow at Noelle Summers because she seemed quite IMPRESSED with his performance. Hehe. “Thank you, Miss Summers--you flatter me!” Mood rings? “Ha! Are you suggesting that rosebushes have MOODS?” He found THAT adorable as well.



HA! Paul laughed. “That I do, m’boy, that I do!” Pffffft. Magic touch. Cheeky.



The boy was close. “Chemistry has something to do with it..and touch, yes, right…” GO ON? Paul purses his painted lips.



Oh...well that was a very creative response! Paul smiled at Echo. “I think that’s interesting--and certainly a smart thought, Echo!”



What was that? Paul couldn’t quite hear Melbourne. “You’re mumbling, m’dear--what’d you SAY?” he asked curiously, because maybe it was well thought out and interesting!



DING DING DING! Another one! “You are CORRRRECT!” he clapped a bit. “And they ARE magic, yes but--YES, M’BOY!” he was so PROUD of his smart students! UGH. Paul wanted to hug them all! Only not right now because his facepaint would probably get messed up, and that had taken HOURS.

“Three points to Slytherin!”



Aaaaaand Paul smiled encouragingly at THIS quiet one because she was a first year AND Isabella just seemed so sweet. His badgers <3



Paul hadn’t noticed when Cornelius spilled his tea, but he DID see Gendry spill his. So...he waved his wand and cleared up the spilled tea from the boy’s lap. “There there, ALL BETTER!”



His badgers were so quiet, so innocent. So sweet. He just smiled and hoped the boy was at least PAYING ATTENTION you know?



...WAS SHE LEGITIMATELY SCARED OF HIM? Paul clicked his tongue. “M’dear--I AM Professor Myers---I promise no real heads will roll today!” Was his getup THAT believable? HIs acting SKILLZ were that good, eh?

He felt smug.



Paul usually tried to make sure Mr. Prince was okay--but right now, he saw the boy merely being calm and quiet (which really he USUALLY was) but..sometimes calm and quiet was unnerving, like with Daxton.

But moving on, moving on, here.



“The temperature part is right, m’boy--very good!” he smiled at young Jacen. “But not for...someone’s presence, no. We’ll get into that, though!”



“Well, not just ANY something, Miss Wright, but good guess!” and she was, obviously, on the right track!



Paul was used to Brooklyn’s lack of...well, effort, in his lessons, but it didn’t bother him. She was just one of those students who was a big more uptight than he was! He sent her a tiny grin.



Again, misled by his inscription on the board. Paul just smirked a little. “Ah...very good guess, Selina--but no no, I am looking for something else!” Was she wearing a Slytherin scarf?! He gave her a puzzled look before moving on.



WEIGHT sensitive? Paul stared at Char for a second. “Well, that’s not the answer. But you’ve given me an idea, yes--” he smiled and made a mental note to send a few owls out after class.

WEIGHT SENSITIVE.



BODY HEAT! Paul BEAMED at Janelle. “YES YES! Body HEAT! You’re quite right--and more specifically about the BODY HEAT, Janelle! Take three points!” he grinned and went back to the front of the room...they were just about ready to move on a bit, eh?



Alas, he did not see Hadleigh spill her tea, but he sent her a cheerful smile and a nod in her direction as he glazed over the class...did anyone had anything else to add or guess about, eh?



A secret super geneticist. “Ah...m’dear, I am no geneticist. I have friends--alas, not me,” he put a hand on his chest and chuckled. He wished he were, though. Making his own crossbreeds would be nice…

If not a little reckless.



SUCKING ENERGY. “Well, you know, that’s a good guess, Elsa! But no no--” he smiled.



Paul waved his hand at Carl dramatically, basically his way of telling the boy HELLLLLLO!



He sat atop the table in the front once more. “As Landon, Oliver both mentioned---TEMPERATURE is what changes the color, exactly. And even more specifically, our BODY heat is what does it for the roses, as Janelle said, but I must show you--” he waved his wand, and an ENORMOUS blast of HOT AIR shot out, enveloping the entire room and...changing all of the roses white. Paul waved his wand again to get rid of it. “They are VERY sensitive to temperature change, actually, and they turn WHITE to actually show they are too warm. It’s mostly helpful if they’ve been kept in the sun too long and need some shade for a few hours or day or so.”

WASN’T THAT COOL?

“Now, mundane roses do turn whiter in color in the summer. So, some of you suggesting this is a magical hybrid are correct--they ARE a hybrid, created by Herbologist Theodore Wimbleton in 2065. So they’re relatively NEW to the field, as you can see. BUT with care...and love...they’re pretty similar to regular roses, as you all..will see.Oh he smirked a bit evilly there.

He slipped off the table and grabbed a piece of chalk, for once using his hand and not his wand to draw on the board. He drew a pretty simple flower. “Don’t worry about writing this stuff down. Just..let’s go over it before we get into our activity. BUT--what ARE the parts of the rose and what is their function? Tell me everything you know!”

I would like to put the points in for those of you Paul just gave points to, but I'm jetting off to class and will do that when I get out! So...HAPPY POSTING <3


For once Miranda hadn't a thing to say... To be honest she had never much thought of what the different parts of a rose were or what their functions were either... Oh well.... Time to pay attention and learn something new.

Sam had been FAR too shocked by the whole performance to respond to the last question, even though she had some theories of how the colour changing might work. Detecting pressure, maybe, or maybe a chemical Myers had on his hands. Instead, she'd shot a completely and utterly bewildered look to Dora.

Why was Myers dressed up like a pantomime dame? What did it have to do with roses? ...and what in Merlin's Beard was their prefect doing on the table?

It was BIZARRE. And, well, lost on her.

She awkwardly sipped her tea by way of a distraction from it all, and hoped that the lesson would return to normality shortly. Which thankfully, it did, if she looked past the outfit the Professor was wearing.

"The petals 'elp attract pollinators," Sam replied. "Both the colour of 'em, and the scent."

Partly right, he was only partly right. HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BE FULLY RIGHT IF HE'D NEVER SEEN THE PLANT BEFORE?! And he was STILL wondering ow he managed an 'O' for the subject. Nevertheless, he WAS right... even if he didn't say the whole temperature thing. Tiny detail, really. The whole hot air thing was appreciated though. Toasty!

But before he knew it they were being swept up into a frenzied conversation about the various parts of the rose shrubs. Well... this he could do.

Stating the obvious was something he did well at. Hand raised, he contributed his thoughts. "Roots sir, it has roots... and more specifically it has anchor roots and the other spready roots." See? He was ELABORATING now.

Jeez, was it getting hot in here? Cornelius fanned his face with his hand, green eyes following the man in heels wherever he moved. They appeared to be currently glued on Myers. The warmth came from some warm air...from Myers' WAND...not like..........gas..........IMAGINE THAT. OMM NO WAY. He would DIE.

At Myers' evil smirk, Cornelius couldn't help but flash one of his own. It was CONTAGIOUS, okay? The man was becoming a walking legend in heels in Cornelius' mind, therefore the child was going to pick up things from the man.

The boy's hand shot up in the air, again. If someone was sitting them to him, well, BE CAREFUL. "There's that middle part of the flower that has pollen." He made a circular motion with his finger and thumb and pointed at it with his other index finger. Besides kicking serious butt, his mum also dabbled in gardening and told him bits of it when he was listening. "And it's function is for the reproduction of flowers." BOW CHIKA WOW WOW.

Oh, oh, oh! He was on a ROLL today! Look at that. 3 POINTS TO RAVENCLAW! you're welcome guys, you're welcome.
Talking about the parts of a rose his hand shot up again on instinct. This was literally his favorite subject of all times, ROSES!

"There's the Hip of the Rose, which is..... like the center part of it.. it holds the seeds that will produce more roses!... yup.. the hip." that's what it was. And his favorite part because from one rose you always got SEVERAL thanks to the hip seeds. He liked to plant roses with his mum, did he mention he loved her?

Professor Myers received all the BEAMS at the moment. BIG WIDE BEAMS FROM VIVIAN.

So they were starting with the basics first. Vivi didn't mind. It was a good idea to take the lesson one at a time. The eleven year old jotted more notes on her notebook. She did take note about that detail, the rose plant shrub thingy. She never really thought of it. Mostly just thought roses were pretty flowers that her daddy would give her mummy during Valentines' Day or their anniversary. Cheesy parents, really.

Vivi raised her hand up. "I know it's been mentioned before, and pretty obvious too, but the rose petals are one of its parts!" She grinned at Professor Myers and wiggled on her seat. "They're really pretty... just like YOU in your Red Queen costume, Professor!" Truth be told, he was really pulling that outfit off.

It was 2089.

It was not that Chloe cared that he cross dressed-- whatever he did in his spare time was his business-- but she thought it was a little inappropriate that he was trying out his new routine in class. Could he just wear his dress without being so darn dramatic about it?

Speaking of drama, her hair did NOT appreciate the sudden gust of warm air. She could feel it grow in size.

Chloe was starting to loathe this class, could he tell?

His question about roses had her thinking: flower petals, roots, pollen, stem and thorns. That was all she knew and her classmates seemed to have it covered. She wouldn't add anything productive to the conversation. So, again, she didn't speak.

Philipe blinked to the question. He'd helped his nanny Mary with the garden at their house so he knew all about roses... But to name their parts and their purposes? That could take a while because there were over 50 parts to the shrub and all of them did something different... He glanced around hearing the others answers and kinda figured he might be the only one who knew that much about the plants. So he'd name just a few at least.

"Professor there's quite a lot to a rose actually... But some of the basic parts are the rootstock, which cultivate the roots of a rose which will implant with a bud from another variety." He nodded trying to think of another people might not know, "The sepal which is a part of the calyx. They're the green coverings that fall back to reveal the petals of the rose... Usually a rose will have 5 of them." Two was probably enough, but he figured one more wouldn't hurt, "Oh, and one that not many know, a rose does have bark, it's just the outer layer of the stem."

He smiled, pretty proud of himself for the three answers, not that he couldn't name more, but he figured he'd give others the chance... Hopefully he wasn't the only one who knew there was more to roses than just leafs, stems, petals and thorns.

Olly was shocked. He had gotten it right? And gotten three points? Olly beamed, very proud of himself. He had not been expecting to get a question right in Herbology. This day was going pretty well so far.

Bring on the next question. He could do it. He was feeling pumped up. Like he could answer anything. Not that he could. Actually, far from it. But when he did hear the next question his good mood stayed. That was a fairly easy question. Even he knew the answer. Olly's hand shot into the air. "Petals! Roses have petals. They're colorful." Did petals have a greater purpose? Olly didn't know.

SPOILER!!: Red Queen
Paul was running late, but for very good reason.

He was ....ah, getting ready. He glanced at his watch, GASPED, and fixed the wig atop his face without smearing ANY of the paint, and quickly ran to his first Herbology lesson of the term...in heels. What a feat! Milton would have been proud. Paul was PROUD OF HIMSELF, thank you very much.

Regardless of what the students were doing, Paul BURST into the greenhouse, slamming the door open QUITE dramatically.

"WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED? WHO has been panting MY ROSES RED?!" he cried, VERY much in character, GLARING at his students like he had never glared at them before. Did he look menacing? He was going for menacing. He grabbed a fistful of the red roses from a nearby bush and pulled them from the rest of the bush, internally wincing at the PLANT MURDERING he was doing, but this was all for character AND he could fix them in a moment. The roses turned white as soon as he touched them, and he throw them on the ground.

"Who dares to paint--the vulgar paint!--the royal flower bed?! For painting my roses red...SOMEONE WILL LOSE HIS HEAD!" Or her or unspecified. Ahem. Paul wanted to add.

And end scene. Paul smirked....began laughing...hysterically...and then took a bow because what a LOVELY performance that had been. He grabbed a cup of tea from one of the tables and moved to sit on the table in the front, crossing his feet at his ankles like he'd seen his mother do countless times while wearing a dress. He sipped his tea. "Everyone DRINK UP--" he said with a wink. "Now--if you noticed--" he gestured at the roses he had thrown. "The roses turned white when I touched them. Someone tell me why. Guess. Think. Make something up----GO--"

This was the first lesson of the year. Nothing too serious, eh? It was why he saw some MAJOR uniform violations and decided he wouldn't care about them...for now. HE was a walking uniform violation right now, wasn't he?



OOC: I got so excited I forgot to say...moving on sometime tomorrow for me. <3 Thanks to Kath for that manip that I asked for and she delivered A+ thanks for the lulz of posts so far, guys <3


Mason smiled at Kitty when the older girl came up to her, with tea as well, at least. "Hey, Kitty. How was the re- Oh sweet baby Merlin!"

O____O

Were her eyes broken? Was this some sort of creepy boggart? WHY THE HELL WAS THEIR PROFESSOR DRESSED LIKE A MUGGLE DRAG-QUEEN??!!!!

Mason stared at him, dumbfounded, tea forgotten. What was he going on about? People painting his roses? OHHHHHHHHHHH, DUH. Mason you idiot! He was dressed as the Red Queen from Alice. For someone who had loved the book as a child, it had taken her quite a while to finally realize what he was aiming for. . . And apparantely someone was losing their head, which made Mason VERY grateful for the fact that she had ignored the roses completely and had gone straight for the tea. See? Tea was a life-saver.

Mason drained the last of said wonderful-tea and placed the cup back onto the table. She gave the professor an applause for that beautiful performance. Maybe he had studied at WADA when he was younger? He seemed to have the talent. . .

SPOILER!!: Wimbleton

He sat atop the table in the front once more. “As Landon, Oliver both mentioned---TEMPERATURE is what changes the color, exactly. And even more specifically, our BODY heat is what does it for the roses, as Janelle said, but I must show you--” he waved his wand, and an ENORMOUS blast of HOT AIR shot out, enveloping the entire room and...changing all of the roses white. Paul waved his wand again to get rid of it. “They are VERY sensitive to temperature change, actually, and they turn WHITE to actually show they are too warm. It’s mostly helpful if they’ve been kept in the sun too long and need some shade for a few hours or day or so.”

WASN’T THAT COOL?

“Now, mundane roses do turn whiter in color in the summer. So, some of you suggesting this is a magical hybrid are correct--they ARE a hybrid, created by Herbologist Theodore Wimbleton in 2065. So they’re relatively NEW to the field, as you can see. BUT with care...and love...they’re pretty similar to regular roses, as you all..will see.” Oh he smirked a bit evilly there.

“First lesson of the year! So...we’re doing some easier things today, kids! Tell me the parts of the rose plant--which did you all know was a SHRUB, actually?” How funny. He slipped off the table and grabbed a piece of chalk, for once using his hand and not his wand to draw on the board. He drew a pretty simple flower. “Don’t worry about writing this stuff down. Just..let’s go over it before we get into our activity. BUT--what ARE the parts of the rose and what is their function? Tell me everything you know!”



Anyhoooooooo. She grabbed her bag from the floor and made her way towards one of the empty desks. She was getting away from there as soon as possible, since Myers might actually complete his threat of beheading. Mason stroked some of the roses on her way there, watching them change color, since they were actually pretty cool aaaanddd HEAATTTTTT. Thank you, Professor for those few seconds of bliss.

. . . Theodore Wimbleton?

Insert subtle snort here. Wizards had the weirdest names. . . not that her real one was any better, but eh.

Oh Merlin, were they actually supposed to KNOW what the parts of a rose was? Uuuhhhmmmm. What? How did some of these peasant just KNOW this? Did they spend their free time looking for diagrams of roses? PPfffttt. . . no thank you.

Abby thought and said "Well it has already been mentioned but the Thorns are a part of the rose and it is quite easy to prick one's finger on a thorn as they are sharp" Abby knew that it was already said but she wanted to add to some of her classmates answers

This one WAS not...completely wrong, no. “These roses are...well, no, they’re not ordinary, ha!” He chuckled. “They’re part magical, yes.” But he was looking for WHY EXACTLY or...WHAT CAUSED them to turn white.



OH HO HO! This one’s reaction had Paul laughing in STITCHES on the table. Wasn’t this one the Myers kid? His...distant cousin, Landon? Lando? Something of that sort. “.......” He stared at him. “HERBOLOGY MUST RUN IN THE FAMILY---” he hopped off the desk, forgetting he was donning heels, and sort of slipped but CAUGHT himself on the edge of the desk. “You’re CORRECT! DING DING DING! 3 points to Ravenclaw!” he clapped eagerly. “Temperature! TEMPERATURE!”



PAHAHA! Paul glanced at Haddie. “Um...excuse me? Was that English, Miss Denaker?” It didn’t sound like it (;



Well, they needed to drink the tea for other reasons. But Paul would get to that shortly. And if they didn’t drink the tea…

Heh.

“Good guess, m’boy. Good guess.” But not exactly.



That was a theory he hadn’t expected to hear, and was even more surprised to hear Azura make...for reasons.

“Eh..not exactly, m’dear, but GOOD GUESS.” Some of their guesses were kind of funny. Kept him amused.


A quiet one. The quiet ones were sometimes dangerous. Take Daxton Prince, for example. Paul gave her an eyebrow wiggle before moving on.

And had he been able to READ MINDS, the answer to the cross dressing question would have been: YES.



It was obvious to Paul Jay was a Herbologist’s son. His answer was such...a Herbologist answer, to be honest. He smiled in the small boy’s direction. “They can, you’re right. But not exactly what I’m looking for this time!”



“WHAT WAS THAT, MISS IVER?” Paul YELLED out at her because..she looked a little sleepy, didn’t she? “I HOPE it was a well thought out ANSWER or at last a VERY CREATIVE guess, EHHHHH?”

Heh.

Teen angst.



Another quiet one. Maybe his performance had left some of the in awe. Paul assumed that, yes.



Oh! Cornelius was CRACKING up and amusing Paul greatly, and he bowed his head. “I’ve had this outfit for years--” ahem. “I FINALLY had an excuse to wear it again.”

AHEM.

Anyways.

“Thank you, Mr. Baltazar. And that’s a VERY interesting theory you have.” Hmm. Gave him ideas for some cross-breeding experiments.



Transpiration. Hmmm. Paul gave Miss Cooper a curious look. “Well…..that would make sense...alas, not the answer I’m looking for! But good thinking!” he smiled.



MORE QUIET STUDENTS.

Paul just flinged a rose at Brian, hoping to maybe jolt him out of his daydreaming daze. THIS WAS CLASS, BOY.



And….laughter was an acceptable response, of course, since Paul was dressed ridiculously.



Oh..HO HO! Paul laughed. “Very smart answer, Miss Botros. VERY smart--so funny--alas, I don’t think they have the thinking capabilities to WANT to be a part of my act, though I assure you, if they did, they wouldn’t pass up the chance!”



He raised an eyebrow at Dante. “Have you never seen a grown man dressed as a WOMAN before, Dante?!” and he just chortled to himself and moved on to someone with their hand ACTUALLY up.



Except this kid just went WHAAAAA and Paul decided to reply back with “WHAAAAAAA?” right back because WHAT A WASTE OF AN ANSWER you know?



The boy was making this into a metaphor, wasn’t he? The roses were a metaphor for the boy. Hmph. “Well, I’m sorry if I’ve frightened you--I promise, I won’t ACTUALLY be chopping off any heads. Unless it’s lettuce, because salad is very yummy, you know?”



Oh my.

OH MY.

OOOOHHHH MYYYYY!

Paul clapped, proudly, at Roo’s little performance. What a ham, he was! He was quite delighted! “Oh such good acting! One point for you, m’boy!” he said. “You’re familiar with the movie, then?” Paul should explain to the class about his..recent obsession.

...IN A MOMENT, THOUGH.



Your majesty. That had a niiiiiice ring to it. Paul could get used to it, heh. Queen Professor Paul Myers. HIS ROYAL MAJESTY.

HAHA. “MAYBE so, Vivian. Maybe so.” Now wasn’t she precious.



Another one misled by his directions on the board. “Well, you’ll see about the tea, Miss Darcy!”



Well. Someone had clearly rolled off on the wrong side of the BREAD this morning. Paul merely eyed the boy curiously before answering. “I think it’s okay for Rooney to get excited, Blaise. He knows what I’m referencing and ...his display was QUITE good, too. I assure you, I wouldn’t like it if EVERY lesson he jumped on the table--” he just didn’t know how else to explain to Blaise that HE, the PROFESSOR wasn’t mad at Rooney or anything.

“And...yes, a bit, Mr. Bellaire.”

DON’T BE SUCH A FUN SUCKER, BLAISE.



Another Gryffindor being a sourpuss. He could see the look on her face. Paul offered Dora a rose...COME ON CHILDREN BE HAPPY.



OH ME OH MY, Olivia! Paul was doubly impressed now! WOW. He clapped again. “And another point to you, to Gryffindor!” he chuckled and swept across the room.

This just delighted him entirely too much. MERLIN. He pulled an ace card from his sleeve and placed it on Olivia’s desk, winking as he walked by her desk. Adorable, really. Adorable.



And he took a GRAND bow at Noelle Summers because she seemed quite IMPRESSED with his performance. Hehe. “Thank you, Miss Summers--you flatter me!” Mood rings? “Ha! Are you suggesting that rosebushes have MOODS?” He found THAT adorable as well.



HA! Paul laughed. “That I do, m’boy, that I do!” Pffffft. Magic touch. Cheeky.



The boy was close. “Chemistry has something to do with it..and touch, yes, right…” GO ON? Paul purses his painted lips.



Oh...well that was a very creative response! Paul smiled at Echo. “I think that’s interesting--and certainly a smart thought, Echo!”



What was that? Paul couldn’t quite hear Melbourne. “You’re mumbling, m’dear--what’d you SAY?” he asked curiously, because maybe it was well thought out and interesting!



DING DING DING! Another one! “You are CORRRRECT!” he clapped a bit. “And they ARE magic, yes but--YES, M’BOY!” he was so PROUD of his smart students! UGH. Paul wanted to hug them all! Only not right now because his facepaint would probably get messed up, and that had taken HOURS.

“Three points to Slytherin!”



Aaaaaand Paul smiled encouragingly at THIS quiet one because she was a first year AND Isabella just seemed so sweet. His badgers <3



Paul hadn’t noticed when Cornelius spilled his tea, but he DID see Gendry spill his. So...he waved his wand and cleared up the spilled tea from the boy’s lap. “There there, ALL BETTER!”



His badgers were so quiet, so innocent. So sweet. He just smiled and hoped the boy was at least PAYING ATTENTION you know?



...WAS SHE LEGITIMATELY SCARED OF HIM? Paul clicked his tongue. “M’dear--I AM Professor Myers---I promise no real heads will roll today!” Was his getup THAT believable? HIs acting SKILLZ were that good, eh?

He felt smug.



Paul usually tried to make sure Mr. Prince was okay--but right now, he saw the boy merely being calm and quiet (which really he USUALLY was) but..sometimes calm and quiet was unnerving, like with Daxton.

But moving on, moving on, here.



“The temperature part is right, m’boy--very good!” he smiled at young Jacen. “But not for...someone’s presence, no. We’ll get into that, though!”



“Well, not just ANY something, Miss Wright, but good guess!” and she was, obviously, on the right track!



Paul was used to Brooklyn’s lack of...well, effort, in his lessons, but it didn’t bother him. She was just one of those students who was a big more uptight than he was! He sent her a tiny grin.



Again, misled by his inscription on the board. Paul just smirked a little. “Ah...very good guess, Selina--but no no, I am looking for something else!” Was she wearing a Slytherin scarf?! He gave her a puzzled look before moving on.



WEIGHT sensitive? Paul stared at Char for a second. “Well, that’s not the answer. But you’ve given me an idea, yes--” he smiled and made a mental note to send a few owls out after class.

WEIGHT SENSITIVE.



BODY HEAT! Paul BEAMED at Janelle. “YES YES! Body HEAT! You’re quite right--and more specifically about the BODY HEAT, Janelle! Take three points!” he grinned and went back to the front of the room...they were just about ready to move on a bit, eh?



Alas, he did not see Hadleigh spill her tea, but he sent her a cheerful smile and a nod in her direction as he glazed over the class...did anyone had anything else to add or guess about, eh?



A secret super geneticist. “Ah...m’dear, I am no geneticist. I have friends--alas, not me,” he put a hand on his chest and chuckled. He wished he were, though. Making his own crossbreeds would be nice…

If not a little reckless.



SUCKING ENERGY. “Well, you know, that’s a good guess, Elsa! But no no--” he smiled.



Paul waved his hand at Carl dramatically, basically his way of telling the boy HELLLLLLO!



He sat atop the table in the front once more. “As Landon, Oliver both mentioned---TEMPERATURE is what changes the color, exactly. And even more specifically, our BODY heat is what does it for the roses, as Janelle said, but I must show you--” he waved his wand, and an ENORMOUS blast of HOT AIR shot out, enveloping the entire room and...changing all of the roses white. Paul waved his wand again to get rid of it. “They are VERY sensitive to temperature change, actually, and they turn WHITE to actually show they are too warm. It’s mostly helpful if they’ve been kept in the sun too long and need some shade for a few hours or day or so.”

WASN’T THAT COOL?

“Now, mundane roses do turn whiter in color in the summer. So, some of you suggesting this is a magical hybrid are correct--they ARE a hybrid, created by Herbologist Theodore Wimbleton in 2065. So they’re relatively NEW to the field, as you can see. BUT with care...and love...they’re pretty similar to regular roses, as you all..will see.Oh he smirked a bit evilly there.

“First lesson of the year! So...we’re doing some easier things today, kids! Tell me the parts of the rose plant--which did you all know was a SHRUB, actually?” How funny. He slipped off the table and grabbed a piece of chalk, for once using his hand and not his wand to draw on the board. He drew a pretty simple flower. “Don’t worry about writing this stuff down. Just..let’s go over it before we get into our activity. BUT--what ARE the parts of the rose and what is their function? Tell me everything you know!”



ooc: WHOOO hi again, guys! Wonderful jobs, really, I'm having an enormous amount of fun and UGH *pinches all your cheeks in love and adoration* I'll be moving on in 15 or so hours! I would like to put the points in for those of you Paul just gave points to, but I'm jetting off to class and will do that when I get out! So...HAPPY POSTING <3


Dora was ADHD and this was NOT GOOD for her. All of this shouting and jumping and being silly. (Perfectly acceptable OUTSIDE of class, though... in fact it was encouraged even.) This happened to be one of the most important subjects to HER and she wanted to do well and MEH. But the rose helped. Some. Dora took it from Professor Meyers and smiled EVER SO SLIGHTLY. In fact when she looked down she smiled wider as the rose petals all began to turn white under her touch.

SEE! This was fascinating and she was READY TO LEARN. But what did he mean specifically by PARTS of the shrub?

AH okay. AS she listened to her classmates she had a better understanding. "Leaves. The shrub has leaves on it." AND IT DID! Even Rosie, the fanged Rose, had leaves on her. MHM.

ACK!!!! PROFESSOR "YOUR GRACE" HAS PRESENTED OLIVIA WITH AN ACE CARD!!!!!! OLIVIA IS FREEEEEEEE.

BUT...BUT...R O O N E Y, DID YOU SEE?!?!?! Retaking her seat, which had been subsequently doused with tea, Liv ignored the liquid soaking into her school robes and just beamed at the card she now held within her grasp. This was DEFINITELY going into their Disney scrapbook for the term. Ahem! Because it was perfectly normal that she and Rooney were making that their special tradition. OOOOH, and maybe they could get a swatch from the Professor's costume! Yes, yes, that would be perfect and then, they'd take some selfies with the Professor (after Liv got the chance to draw some Clubs ♣ on their faces) and she'd write out a brilliant caption (with Roo's help, of course!). OH, OOOOH, and they could dress the page up with glitter, her gel pens, and some of that fancy smancy ribbon she'd bought in Florida!

....and she'd gotten.....sidetracked. Oops.

Bending down to scoop up her cup....Liv stared at it for a few moments before noticing the chip. OH, HEY!.......CHIP.....A CHIP in a tea cup....LIKE C H I P.....GET IT!? "Pardon me, Professor Your Grace, I seem to have unknowingly created another Disney character by accident!.......Can I keep this cup?!" She held it up for Professor Myers to see. Ahem, either way, she'd planned to continue drinking from it. Belle had drank from Chip. So, logic stated that this was perfectly safe.

^^

AND SHE HAD AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION! YAY for contributing! "The stem, Professor. It's like the legs of the rose, right? I mean....I've heard people call human legs stems." The blonde paused to frown. She wasn't sure she'd appreciate someone calling HER legs stems. "I guess the comparison would make sense, since our legs help to hold us up, much like a stem does." There was another short pause. "What do you think?" She reached for Rooney, trying to beckon him to sit beside her again.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

FINALLY!

Torrance was able to close shut every face hole he had that needed closing before it would become like a desert on his face. This unfortunately prevented him from getting to answer the question as now he was trying to just let it all soak up once more.

How dare Mister Professor Myer's do that to his face.

He blinked a few more times and ran his tongue over the roof of his mouth for a bit. This was getting better.

He reached into his Robe's pocket and took out Three Sugar packets. Ripped them open and just let the sugar dissolve in his mouth as he kept focused in class.

Azura practically wilted in her chair as Professor Meyers spoke.. Of course she hadn't gotten it right. Her idea was stupid.. She just had that idea in her head.. Cause of.. Reasons.

Horrible awful reasons.

Not to mention she had heard the temperature answer given before her and she didn't want to look like a copycat. She sighed softly as she slunk down in her desk.. Quiet as she listened to everyone else give answers about the parts of roses. Everyone had already said what she wanted to say.

Though.. The more she heard about Thorns.. She perked up a bit And her hand went into the air. " Roses don't have thorns per se. They are called "prickles" And they protect the Rose from creatures eating them."

Because who would want to eat something that prickled them in the mouth? She wouldn't!

Janelle got it right! She did a yessssss inside her head when the professor said her answer was correct. The points she got for her right answer was icing on the cake. The temperature changing roses were pretty cool and Janelle couldn't wait to see what they would be doing with them.

No time for thinking about that though because it was time for another question. Parts of a rose? Janelle only knew a few and most of them had been mentioned already. You'd think that having a Herbology nerd in the family would have helped her out in class, but......no. Janelle went through the list of parts in her mind and there were only two left that she could think of. Raising her hand, she said, "The stamen is one part of a rose." "That's where the pollen is made." Answer given, Janelle sat back and continued taking notes. She was hearing things that she had never heard before.

Echo giggled, she knew a response but hopefully she wouldnt get into trouble for saying it. raising her hand "Professor, Roses have Stigmas and Ovaries. and what a stigma is a tunnel per say that helps the pollen get into the roses center where the ovaries are. they are like these hair strands that are responsible for the egg production in the flowers."

Her mother loved roses and always told Echo to help her with gardening, so this was kind of a bonus that she knew something about todays lesson, even though she hated to get dirty.

Jessica could already tell that she was going to love this professor. The way he came in and just gave his class had her leaving amused and when the question arose about the part of rose and what it was for, she just smiled. Even though a few of her classmates already said it, she just wanted to give the best answer she could give.

"Well we have the petals of the rose which can be eaten. They are usually modified to have certain colours which is a way to attract birds and bees, so that there can be pollination.
We have the rose hips that have a outer layer that contain the seeds of the rose. Rose hips can be eaten, I believe. The thorns are on the rose stem, and the are made so that they can easily overgrow other plants and things.
And then you have the stigma. They are in the bloom. The style of the rose flower is attached to stigma so they create a path for pollen to travel. The pollen travel to the ovaries which are located in the rose hips. And in those there are the ovules and they do the egg production for the rose pollination."


She took a breath after all she said, slumping down embarrassed in her seat once she realised how much she was speaking.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

SPOILER!!: before class / fiyero
Bec thought as she looked at the roses. She really wanted to have one. But what if the moment she cut one the rose stopped having its magical powers of changing color? That be a shame right? And she wanted one BECAUSE it could change color at touch.

With a soft sigh, she turned her head towards Fiyero when he mentioned having taken a photograph of a rose in mid-transformation. "Can you make the photograph move?!" she asked curiously. She had no idea how that was done. It was just ...normal to her , moving photographs. She never thought about how they were made. "Oh i'd love to have one, you're not giving out more copies of the photo to other girls right? riiii...." she suddenly squealed and jumped in her seat when the door SWUNG open and the cup of tea in her hands fell on her.


"MERLIN'S FROG LEGGED PANTS!" She hadn't taken notice of the costume the Professor was wearing, nor had she paid attention to his 'threat'. She was too occupied with dealing with her tea stained uniform. With no idea how to clean it and the hot water already cooling down, Rebecca decided to sit back down and ask someone after class to help her out.

Really? Body heat was what changed the colors of the roses? Well that was ...highly dissapointing. She would have thought that MAGIC would be at play at a MAGICAL school. But then she wondered if muggles had flowers that could change color at touch as well. She grew blank as she tried to think of one.

The sudden blast of hot air around the room caused the wet tea stain on her shirt to dry up but she hadn't taken notice of it since she was too busy looking at all the roses changing color.

"A rose can also be a symbol of looooove" she said , clapping her hands together and giggled. "Oh and they have ...petals in all kinds of colors i suppose" She didn't know anything else except for that they were pretty.

And that she still wanted one...

Fiyero was glad Bec likes the idea of a photo of the rose in mid-transformation. "Yep, sure can," he replied to her question.about making it move. "There's a shop in Diagon Alley that develops moving photos. I can have my mom take the film there and send the photos back to me." Hehad no idea how long that would take, though.

He blushed when Bec asked if he planned to give photos to any other girls. Luckily Professor Myers burst in with his dramatic Queen of Hearts portrayal before he had to answer.
When Bec said roses were a symbol of love, he nearly choked on a sip of water, trying to stifle a laugh. Who else but Bec would think to say that?!


Fiyero was a little disappointed that he'd guessed wrong, but he wasn't giving up just yet. He wanted to earn some points fir Gryffindor!

He bit his lip, wracking his brain for an answer someone hadn't already given. Finally something came to him. "Roses have leaves, sir," he said. "They make food for the plant.Photosynthesis, right?"
