Herbology I (1/4) *New Class 2/10*

[Deviled Dregs]

They're selling postcards of the hanging,
When they're painting the passports brown,
Yeah, the beauty parlor's filled with sailors,
The circus is in town,

First year ║ Gryffindor ║ Muggleborn

Levi made his way out to the greenhouse for Herbology, which he wasn't very excited for. He wasn't exactly passionate about planting, even though he had a garden back home. It was just boring to him. He took a seat near the back, taking note of how freaky and serious the professor was compared to his others. He didn't scare Levi, but it was certainly a change. He listened to the other answers. Again, he wasn't sure what to say, as he honestly didn't know.

They need somewhere to go,
As Lady and I look out tonight,

Sera walked into the greenhouse and decided right away she liked Professor Hill. Sure he looked like he needed cleaned up some-a lot-but he was no nonsense, direct. She could respect the authority the man wielded and handled and he held it firm. It was far better than some laid back professor you had no clue of the expectations. She took a seat near the center of the greenhouse and when it came to her she said, "Sera Avery from Slytherin, sir, as for your question, the Gryffindor is right in a way, but you also should have earmuffs and definitely be utilizing your senses when working with plants. You shouldn't blindly go trimming a plant after all." She gave a small shrug, brushed off her stool of any possible dirt and sat back down.

Alice hadn't been particularly nervous for Herbology, or she wasn't until she entered the greenhouse. The professor was intimidating. He looked like the sort of person who would be a villain in a story book. She ducked quickly to a seat near the back near some Slytherin boy who seemed to be tucking his head and fairly intimidated by the professor as well. Or maybe she was projecting her feelings to the boy? Either way, Professor Hill was a bit scary... couldn't he try to be a bit friendlier or something? Or what if he was trying and was really worse! Alice resisted burying her face in her hands in horror at that thought.

Ambition and cleverness,
Usually such a dark connotation.

Ravenclaw │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Halfblood

The little Ravenclaw walked into the greenhouse tentatively. Herbology wasn’t one of her most anticipated classes, but she wasn’t directly opposed to it, as some obscure herb might save her life at some point. She felt inclined to emphasize the word “might” as it really wasn’t extremely likely that she’d have to rely on a plant for assistance in her endeavors. But, she figured she’d give it a fair shot, and see if its practicality surprised her.
It didn’t seem promising. The first thing Indie noticed upon entry was the mildly ominous attitude of the professor. His appearance was frightening enough, but the stern way he spoke along with the consequences he proposed made him all the more intimidating. She made a mental note to do everything in her power to stay on his good side, if, of course, he had one. Right now it did not appear likely. After he spoke, Indie waited for her turn and then stood. Her hands were involuntarily shaking, and her voice matched their unsteadiness when she opened her mouth to speak. "Indiana Quake," she barely got out, sounding like a mouse who’d been stepped on. It felt appropriate to give her full first name rather than the shortened version. This didn’t seem like a man who bothered with nicknames. “Ravenclaw.” The girl sat back down as fast as she could, and listened to her classmates’ responses to his question about materials. She didn’t really know anything about magical plants, but she assumed it would take more than muggle gardening equipment to deal with them. On one hand, she was mortified to speak, but on the other, she felt like offering another piece of equipment would be a risk worth taking. Maybe it would earn her an ounce of approval.
After the brazen Slytherin had sat, Indie cleared her throat nervously. "Um, they’re right, probably, but wouldn’t you also need your wand?" She prayed she was right, for she couldn’t stand the scrutiny that would result if she was wrong. Having this professor know her as an idiot would be downright awful.

With his belongings strewn about on his desk at last, and a few other students had gone ahead with their introductions, Tristan figured he ought to follow their lead. This professor obviously wouldn't stand for any of the cheeky remarks or boorish comments the young beast of a boy had rolled up his sleeves. He hoped to seem as inconspicuous as possible as he stood up and declared, ”Tristan Hastings, Slytherin,” then dropped back down into his seat to let the other dozen students introduce themselves. Impatience had left him restlessly thumping his shoe against the ground with attempts at peering through the greenhouse panes out into the school grounds.

It was finally the last day of the week, at the last class of the week as well. Herbology. Naturally the class took place at a greenhouse rather than a normal classroom. It was filled with plants, but left space for stools and a little room on the tables to write on. She had found enough room to set her Herbology book down with a paper and pen on top of it, but kept her wand in her pocket for now.

She jumped a little when the Professor flicked his wand, causing the doors to close and lock. That was the first clue that this was a very no-nonsense kind of teacher. The next was pretty much his entire introduction speech. As soon as Sophie noticed the rules on the board, she set to copying them down on paper so she wouldn't forget them, as well as the Professor's name. At the end of his explanation of the rules, he asked if any of what he said was unclear and she along with a few others, simply shook her head to signify 'no'.

Once he was sure that everyone understood his rules, Professor Hill continued on and said that their first lesson would consist of understanding the subject and how to work with living things as he wouldn't tolerate any undue harm coming to them. He must really like plants... she mused. Then noticing that they were supposed to stand and introduce themselves by name and House, she took her turn. "Sophia Knols of House Ravenclaw."

Professor Hill's question was quickly answered by three different students, each adding to the list of things you would need for Herbology. They were all good answers and knowing of none to add, Sophie kept quiet and simply wrote down what was asked and said, wondering if they were right or if it was more complicated than that.

Avian entered the greenhouse, he felt uncomfortable about the dirt and the misty atmosphere, especially the weather. He never liked plants, and he definitely never had a green thumb. The professor even made it worse, now he had to take nature seriously to avoid being hexed or kicked out. Great.

He raised his hand when Professor Hill asked about what they need in class but Sera, Indie and Aster went first, they beat him to it. He lowered his hand and shrugged, "Yep, what they said, since obviously we all both know that we do not want to risk being injured and all. Avian Lovette from Ravenclaw, by the way" He put it in a polite tone because who knows, he had to give some professors some good impressions, even if he knew he was going to be terrible at this subject.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLionel Santiago Lira
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHufflepuff First Year

"There are big ships and small ships."

Lionel walked into class, a smile on his face...that is, until he saw the look on the professor's face. The man himself, Lionel could only think of as that evil second in command guy in movies; you know, the one's who were ruthless. Like Darth Vader. And judging by the way the man had the doors shut and locked with merely the flick of his wand, he meant business. 'You can do that?! he thought to himself, obviously not voicing that, because you know, the way the man had done it seemed rather aggressive. And that aggressive vibe continued through the man's opening speech. Even Lionel, who wasn't always the amazing with authority, knew that this was not a man to be reckoned with. It was only common sense. Nor did Lionel ever really have authority problems with elders either...so he felt that he would do fine. Besides...he had a particular affinity for plants, speaking that his mother gardened and worked in a greenhouse; so Lionel knew how exactly careful one had to be with them.

As the man had gone into their first lesson, he listened intently on the answers of the others...then said one of his own. "I would say goggles because there are plants that could irritate the eyes. Just to be on the safe side. Oh yeah...Lionel Lira, Hufflepuff," he said aloud, sitting down and waiting. He didn't know if he was right, but did he care...no, because the answer was a 'safe' answer, one in which has to be a tool used at some point. He couldn't imagine wizards being able to put a barrier over their eyes or something.

"But the best ship of all is friendship. "

Sybil was both terrified and excited for Herbology. She was at least a bit excited because she knew she was at least going to like to, Sybil adored tending to plants and she had been tending to both their garden and her mother's wizard plants for years. Now, her reservations were towards the teacher... Professor Hill was talked about among other students, and it was obvious that no one liked him. He was a hard teacher, and that was obvious just by looking at him. Sybil tried her best not to sit near the professor in any way. As soon as the lesson started, Sybil was completely silent. She already couldn't stand that she thought the teacher was quite the a**, but it wasn't like she was going to say anything about it. They were starting off their year with the basic tools in Herbology. A simple question, most of which the class had already answered, a Gryffindor girl she believed as named Aster, and the prissy Slytherin she only remembered from History of Magic. There were a few other things that Sybil could've mentioned, but she decided it was best to keep her mouth shut around this teacher, she just didn't trust even speaking around him. His face just made her think he was going to hit one of them if they were wrong...

spacePamela sat next to Aster, as she had in all their lessons, grinning widely. She didn't really know if she was going to enjoy this class very much, but she was at least going to give it a shot. Her Mum liked gardening, they even had a little window box above the shop. Maman was rubbish at it, but she was hoping she took more after Mum. It'd be pretty bad if she killed the plants in class, after all. Anyway, she bet that this'd be like history was; magical history was more interesting than normal history. Magical plants were probably more interesting than boring normal ones, too, right? She took out her things to take notes, smiling when Aster answered the professor's question. Another student added to her response, a Slytherin girl, and her words peaked Pam's interest. She stood then, waving as she did so, other hand moving hair from her face (she was forever getting her hair in her face). "I'm Pamela Gautreaux, Hufflepuff house!" she declared cheerily, and then, her gaze moved to the brunette Slytherin, and back to the professor. "So, um, pardon me, but, why would you need earmuffs for gardening?" she asked, unbearably curious. That didn't seem like a 'duh' sort of thing to her, but Sera had made it sound like she'd thought the inclusion was obvious. Why was that? Sera obviously came from a magical family, since she knew something that Pam didn't. Or, well. She could have simply read the textbook, she supposed. Maybe Pam should've read the textbook... oops!

spaceLorelei had been quite surprised by the rather intimidating demeanor of this particular professor; all their other instructors thus far had seemed fairly laid back. But, Professor Hill had locked the door at almost exactly 2 o'clock so that there was no chance for anyone running late to make it to class. He didn't seem the sort to put up with nonsense. She appreciated that, she supposed, but it was sort of odd to have an instructor who was so off-puttingly strict after the rather lax professors they'd met throughout the rest of the week. Oh, well. She supposed one of them had to be a hard-a**. Hopefully she would do well enough in this lesson so as to not disappoint him. She would hate to be looked upon in a negative light by one of her professors. When her turn came, she stood. "I am Lorelei Townsend of Slytherin House, Professor Hill," she replied. The Hufflepuff who had gone before her had asked a question, and she found herself wishing that she had the answer, if for no other reason than to contribute to the class and get off on the right foot. Then again, the question had been directed at the professor, so perhaps answering for him would make one look like a brown-noser or a know it all? She didn't want to be either of those things. She just wanted to do well.

I had a dream so big and loud
I jumped so high I touched the clouds
I stretched my hands out to the sky
We danced with monsters through the night

Mattie loved this class! Her mumma loved Herbology and her Grandpapa was a Herbologist. And Mattie wanted to be a Florist! She sat excitedly, despite the Professor's apparent displeasure. When it came time to introduce themselves, Mattie spoke out. "I'm Matilda Collins, but you can call me Mattie! I'm a Hufflepuff!" Turning towards her follow housemate, Pam, she answered the girl's question. "There are these plants called Mandrakes and they scream. They can paralyze you. Or worse..." She shivered, then smiled and turned towards the Professor.

I'm never gonna look back
Whoa, I'm never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
