Theodore was looking for any large concentration of students to remind them of the HIT when he came upon the Herbology class trying to tackle and heal the Whomping Willow. To get their attention he decided a dramatic entry might do, so he appeared through the trunk of the Willow and, as the branches slashed and swung right through him he addressed them briefly. "Professor I beg your indulgence," he nodded politely, "the Headmaster has kindly asked me to remind those of you who haven't sent in your submissions for the upcoming HIT Tournament, that today is the deadline. Please send them to your appropriate Head of House and your name will be included in your House's Goblet of Fire. The four Champions of each House will then be selected and the Tournament will begin.

This event is of course open to all students and as usual, certain precatuions will be in place to make sure that each of you are kept as safe as can be expected.....so please, remember to submit your form and if you need any further information, consult you Common Room Bulliten boards."

With a second curtious nod to Professor Phoenix, Theodore faded back into the trunk of the willow and dissappeared.

"We're really making progress here, voldemortsucks"

*She points her wand at a frozen branch and yells*

"Enervate!"

*As the Branches untangle, she quickly cast a spell*

"Stupefy!"

"Now!"

Jill runs back after what she needed to do. "Stupefy." The branches freeze and Jill climbs on. "Enervate." The branches become untangled. "Stupefy," Becca says as one almost hit Jill. Jill does what she needs to do and slowly comes back down. "Lets do another one," Jill says. "All right," Becca replies. "Stupefy." Jill climbs on the branch. "Enervate." The branches move and become untangled. "Stupefy." The branches freeze. Jill does her thing she needs to do. Jill comes back. "Enverate." "Lets do another one," Jill says. "Ok," Becca replies. "Stupefy." Jill runs up and gets on the branch. "Enervate." One of the branches hits Jill. "Stupefy. Are you all right?" Becca asks as she moves a little bit closer. "Yeah," Jill replies, "It hit my arm though." Becca turns her back and starts to walk back a little bit. One of the tree branches hit her; an other group was suppose to take care of it. Becca falls to the ground. "Ouch."

"STUPEFY!" Jill shouted rather loudly, giving the distracted group a small glare before quickly bending down to tend to Becca. "Becca! You ok?!" The Willow had hit her in the back.
"Ow.. Yeah, I think so. My back's a little sore though," Becca let out a tiny meow, and in quick realization covered her mouth, semi-blushing sheepishly. Jill giggled, then inspected her arm. There was a pink lined welt opposite her bicep, but she'd live. She rubbed at it to flatten out the dull pain.
"OK." Jill wrapped Becca's arm accross the back of her neck, resting it on her shoulder. She helped Becca stand up. "I'm taking you to the Hospital Wing anyway. The branch looked like it bashed you down the back," Jill walked Becca over to Professor Phoenix. "Professor? I'm taking Becca to the Hospital Wing - she got hit in the back by the Willow," Jill bit her tongue to keep from explaining further - she might say something rude.

Apple has been standing at the back of the class room for the longest time..now she comes for ward and introduces herself to the teacher....hello, im Apple...stephanie's twin.

"I am fine but thank you," Becca said. She pulled her arm off of Jill; she rubbed her back and neck a little bit. Becca took a couple of breathes and winced with pain each time. "We better get back to doing what we are suppose to do," Becca said after a couple of minutes.

"Ok," Jill got back into position and climbed up the stunned tree, looking to Becca.

* Runs at the branch Ferlua. * " Next. "

*She Continues using Enervate to awaken the branch and then Stunning it with the Stupefy spell after the branches were untangled*

"Now!"

* Runs at the next branch and heals it. * " Alright were on a roll. "

"Rasa-frashin' branches. Ah'll show you a thing or two. Let's have a little stun over here."


*Holds back branch as another slaps face.*

*Takes out her wand from her robes and yells*

"Enervate!"

*Stares at the Branch as it Untangles and shouts*

"Stupefy!"

"Okay ready... Now!"

" Hey Mickey - you need help there?" Aschere offers, laughing.

* runs at the branch untangles it and bandages it and jumps off * " alright next. "

"Enervate!"

*She Hollars quickly and as the branches untangle she yells*

"Stupefy!"

"And... Go!"

* Untangles the branch. * " Ferula. alright. " * jumps off. * " Wow next. "

"Enervate!"

*Branches Untangle*

"Stupefy!"

*Turns to her Partner*

"Go!"

ooc: Mmh, might be wrong but I always followed that definition. BTW, my companion seems to have dissapeared, and I must as well... for a week, I'm going away. So, Lily, if you are there, use my character as you desire to finish the assigment, if not... well, people, just make as if we were there =P


After Lily finished with the first branch, Nadia Stupefied it again and Enervated the second. Once finished (the third, of course, was untangled now) and the second being stupefied again, Nadia directed her attention to an spare pair of entangles branches. "There's one, shall we?" Nadia asked Lily pointing that same direction. The both approached and started with this new old-predicament (=P).

"Enervate!" Nadia said and one of the branches started whringling as if having a life of its own. Lily got to untangle it but not after the same had made its own apport at damaging the other branch - Nadia Stupefied it.

"By the look of it, the Whomping Willow is feeling quite better. It looks to have more energy," Nadia commented, and then looked at the damaged branch. "This is your job, to cast Ferula, as the Healer. Mmh..."

Raise hand.

"Professor, when casting Ferula, what's the recommended steps: Do we cast Enervate on the branch before aiding it, or it would be better if we leave it uncouncious? ... the second surely looks more simple..."

"It depends on how that part of the tree is behaving at that particular moment, Nadia," Professor Phoenix said. "If you feel the need to stun it, please do so."

"Enervate." Becca whinched in pain when she said that. The tree branches became untangled "Stupefy." The tree branches froze. Jill healed the branches and climbed down. "Enervate." Becca pointed her wand at some higher branches. "Stupefy." Jill climbed up there and held on. "Enervate." The branches began to move; they got untangled. "Stupefy," Becca said as one branch almost hit Jill. Jill fixed that group of branches and climbed down. "Enervate." The branches began to move again.

"Very good, everyone! I think we're done," Professor Phoenix smiled. "When you have finished your section, come back here carefully. Make sure the last person gets away from the Whomping Willow while it is still frozen.

"I have a salve here for anybody that has been hit. It will mends cuts and bruises quickly, so feel free to rub it on.

O good, we're done! It was nice working with you Ashlie!

*puts her wand in her pocket and slowly walks back, tired after a rough Herbology class*

Becca smiled at Jill and slowly walked back to Professor Pheniox. Becca knew the stuff wouldn't help her back. Becca took deep breathes and winched with pain each time. She smiled at the professor.

* walks to the pot full of the stuff and rubs it on the cut on his face and unwraps the bandages on his arm and rubs it there also. * " That feels better. "
