"Oh no, go right ahead Erica," Amy smiled, recognizing her Housemate. "And yes, I remember you."

Hello Professer my name is Elyshia.When is class going to start?*she says as she takes a seat next to kelly then says...*Hi Kelly how are you ?

"i really love herb"*telling his friends before entering then walked in and took a sit in the front*

Savanah walked in nervously and looked around."I just hope class starts soon."

Emil took a seat beside Hannah and said to her, "Hello! Finally, my first class! Hmm... this is Herbology, according to my class schedule. So... will we be working on herbs, or what?" He then took out a quill, ink bottle and parchment from his bag and placed it in front of him. He patiently waited for the professor to start as he glanced around the room.

*Selena walks in* Uhhh Selena Snape is here and present! *sitting down lookin at the rest of the class*

As Mithos enters the classroom he sees Meghan and smiles. "Hello Professor, its nice to meet you." says Mithos as he sits

Sarah walked into the classroom, blowing her long blonde hair out of her face. She walked down an aisle, and sat down at one of the tables. Sarah then took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of ink. She then let out a big sigh, looking around at everyone.

"Thanks, Amy."

::Erica takes a seat next to Amy, glad for the company, and pulls out some parchment and a quill. She waits for class to begin.::

Nadia watched the people settle herself and chart. If it had been any other moment, she would be shushing people up so she could hear the professor better. However, she was quite distracted this moment... besides, with any other professor, the students would be taken points off from unnecessary chatting, but with kind Professor Phoenix? Nadia would be surprised if she would ever sent a person to detention.

At this thoughts, Nadia's eyes travelled to the professor. My, she had been so caught up in her own pain to notice before, but Phoenix wasn't looking too good herself. A part of her wondered if it had something to do with her age or something...

Rushing into the greenhouse, Anamaria takes a small black hairband out of her robe pocket and ties her long black hair up into a neat ponytail, huffing rather loudly. She adjusts her rolled up sleeves, so they will not get in the way of fumbling with plants, as she was usually did at home when watering them. Moving her bag from one arm to the other, Anamaria sits down at an empty table, rubbing her hands over the texture, and finally pulls out a piece of parchment and an old weathered quill.

Francis enters the room and smiles as she sits down.

"The Aalart Peter Blaire Wizarding und Witchcraft-Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany," she replied, doing the same as Meghan in getting out her notebook and quill. "My father was promoted in his job, so we had to move to London because of it."

Xavier walks into the classroom looking around expectantly. "Oh I just love Herbology," he says. He finds an empty table and sits down.

Ivana walks inside the room and try to find a place in the front row. She smiles at everybody in the class,"Hello everyone!".and wait for someone who wants to talk with her.

When Professor Phoenix returned with several cages of what appeared to be dried leaves from the autumn, several students looked at her with raised eyebrows, whereas some others seemed to be perfectly aware of what was going on.



"Good morning, everybody," Professor Phoenix greeted the class, stacking the cages of rustling bundles of leaves on her desk up front. "Last term we got interrupted in the middle of this class, so I thought we'd pick it up again as it might be quite interesting. Now, without further ado, who can tell me what I have here in these cages?"

Francis shrugs. They look like ordinary leaves. "Are they maple leaves?" she says, as she squints to try and figure out their shape.

'Why are they caged?' Rosa asked curiously 'are they alive? can they bite my fingers off?' she looked a little more at the leaves. 'is it devil's snare?' she asked, as it was the only plant she'd read about that could be dangerous enough to get caged.

Meghan looks at the cage with a weird face... "Mmm I don't know what that is..."

"Are they Dransuls?" said Serena trying hard to remember. "I was thinking Acromantula for some reason, but that's a huge spider!"

Bailey stared at the cage in amazement. She was one of the students with the raised eyebrows, she had absolutely no idea what the plant could be. Picking up her quill, she listened to her fellow students' replies.

Jaren examined the caged plants with some interest, and from the corner of his eye saw Nadia, looking rather sick, not to mention the Professor herself did not look all that well. Then again, due to last term's events, he could hardly be surprised. His face showed no trace of emotion as he tapped the feathered end of his quill against his chin, evidently waiting for the lesson to continue.

Lee runs in late, and avoiding the look the professor gives her, sits in the back corner. She notices the cage and wonders what the things inside could be.

Nadia thought about raising her hand, but then again Serena Snape had already said what she was about to, it was no use. And she would be glad; for some reason she didn't feel like participating on the class at all. And if she remembered correctly, there was more than one reason why she wouldn't enjoy class. If they were to feed the Dransul with living rats, again, she thought she was going to pay a visit to the Slytherin Common toilets once again. Her weak stomach wasn't going to be able to take it...

'Think of something nice... something nice,' she commanded herself and she was reminded of that song, Straberry Fields Forever. But for some reason that only worstened her state rather than helped it. She unwardly groaned and bumper her head on the table. And by the noises her stomach was making, she knew, with some embarrassment, that she was making no good impression.

"Could those possibly be the leaves of grown mandrakes?" Xavier asks.
