Corinna filed into the greenhouse with other students who'd arrived early, like herself, and was immediately reminded of her mother's little garden and all the plants it contained, and the potting shed, where other plants lived as well. Her mother had some small knack for herbology, and kept magical plants as well as non-magical, like spearmint and vegetables. The smell of earth and green things was refreshing for Cori, who'd had a long but exciting week of classes.

She sat at one of the tables and put her bag in a chair next to her, to save a spot for Tiki. Corinna sized up the teacher, and decided he was rather animalistic by nature, gazing at the students like a hawk - no, something bigger and fiercer than that, like a wolf or a lion. Finally, the last of the students trickled in, and the doors snapped shut, audibly locking themselves as well. Cori made a mental note to never be late to this class, and the professor promptly explained the same.

When it came time for introductions, Cori waited for her turn and then stood, saying, "Corinna Williams, Ravenclaw." She sat back down, and idly listened to the rest of the introductions, not remembering many names. Next, the professor asked if anyone could name the things needed for herbology. Instantly, Cori's hand shot into the air. She may not know everything the teacher required for the ten house points, but she could certainly name a few things.

"You need, of course, water and some amount of light, a trowel or shovel to move dirt, good soil, gloves, and pots of appropriate sizes for each plant. Oh, and consistent effort. Some plants need a lot of upkeep. Corinna sat back down, blushing a bit, but happy she finally knew something at the start of a class.

Such a strong mind!
Inventive and a daydreamer,
Not to mention kind-hearted!
Better be....
Ravenclaw!

Gideon had rapidly learned that he had to leave several minutes before the other kids in his year to make it to classes on time, and that this usually constituted asking various hallway people. Today, that consisted of a weird painting-knight, whom Gid had dubbed "Sir Crazypants". Today, he'd had to wander across the grounds to some greenhouses. By the time he made it close, the other students were walking to class past him, and he cursed his speed, or lack thereof. After he finally made it into class, he chose a seat beside Rhys, then looked at the rather... intimidating teacher. Lord, where had they found this guy? He looked like he could murder everyone in the room, then be home for tea. Did evil, crazy people drink tea? Gid pondered, then heard other kids saying their names and houses, so he figured they were all to do so. Rhys signed something and sat, Gid could only assume it had been a name and house as well. With a bit of struggle, he stood himself up and looked at the teacher. "I'm Gideon Reid, Gryffindor, and the one signing is Rhys Hamilton of Ravenclaw." He gave a cheeky grin, then calmly plopped back down. It took a surprising amount of effort to stand and sit.

Location : Herbology - Friday @ 2:00pm

Entering the greenhouse the vibe Emma was getting was one of fear. She didn't know how she felt about her Professor as his look alone crept her out. Seeing Minnie she quickly went over and took a seat figuring it was safer among friends. Reading the board and listening very carefully Emma was trying her best to pay attention. The moment he talked it didn't sound like a good idea to get on his bad side. Professor Hill might be the worst professor she'd have all year. However she wasn't going to judge on the first day.

When Professor Hill asked for introductions and for what they needed to do Herbology, Emma debated about saying anything. When she heard Corinna from Ravenclaw speak up she figured it wouldn't hurt to add to it. At least she'd show she knew something about plants even if they were magic or not. Standing after Gideon she spoke. "Emma Bailey, Hufflepuff sir. To add on to Corinna you'd also need fertilizer and a book with information might not hurt if you're inexperienced." Taking her seat again Emma hoped that was proving something.

Status: Unsure about him...

The first thing Dante noticed as he walked into the greenhouse was a scary, hairy man whom he could only assume was their Professor. Unsure as to what to make of him, Dante chose to remain quiet, sitting amongst the first years as the lesson began. After a brief discussion of the expectations and something about living things and plants that could apparently not only harm you but also kick you out of class – Dante had only been half-listening as he’d been so transfixed on the Professor and the creepy scary vibes he was getting – the students were then expected to introduce themselves. With little else to contribute to the class apart from a burning desire to use ‘dragon dung’ in a proper sentence, Dante merely stood up, gaze averted as he mumbled his name and house before sitting back down. Maybe today wasn’t the best day to test the Professor’s patience.

Herbology, a class where they taught you about oversized grass that could eat you. Great. Taking a seat beside her brother, Esmée returned the Professor’s look with one of her own, as if to give off an ‘I’m not scared of you’ vibe as she waited for her turn to be introduced. ”Esmée Bianchi, accent on the second E. Slytherin house.” She said in a tone of indifference with a dash of boredom mixed in for good measure.

Annabelle walked into Herbology making sure she was on time. Her eldest sister had warned her about this professor and how strict he was. Belle found herself an open seat and made herself comfortable. When their Professor began his speech the youngest Davenport suddenly understood what her sister had really meant. This guy was intense. When her turn came to introduce herself she stood, "Annabelle Davenport, Hufflepuff." The puff in her house's name came out as more of a squeak than the actual word itself. The girl felt her cheeks flush and she quickly sat back down.

Pure nervousness. That is the only acceptable explanation for Marine's emotions in this class right now. Being one of the first to enter the room, she got the full view of her professor. Entirely intimidating and he gave off the ruling vibe of the teachers back home. She knew this would become a silent class for her, even if Dante was there to joke with her, she wouldn't dare. She needed to be on this guys good side. Especially considering her lack of knowledge in this world. When he instructed to recite everyone's name and house, she waited a good while before she felt comfortable enough to say it with at least mild confidence. "Hello! My name is Marine Wellis, and I am of Gryffindor." She chose to just leave it at that. He follow up question about the proper tools to learning Herbology were probably common sense, but not her kinda of common she grew up with. She left that to the Pure and Halfbloods.

Herbology was the class she had been looking forward to the entire week. Being outside, and near plant life, was what she had been craving. Sure, the castle was gorgeous and new, and brimming with interesting objects... But Pippa loved working with plants. Her mother had taught her how to tend their small garden of tomatoes, carrots, beans, potatoes, strawberries, and squash when she was around three. Pippa had picked up on it very quickly. Granted, Pip knew these types of plants would be quite different to what she was used to, but she didn't doubt her abilities in the least.

Upon entering the greenhouse with her peers, Pip listened to the professor keenly. He, too, was a bit on the strict side, but that didn't bother the tenacious girl. She had never been one to cause waves. When it was her turn to introduce herself, Pippa stood up with a nod to the professor.

"Pippa Clarkson, Hufflepuff." She sat back down, removing the essentials from her somewhat worn leatherbound bag. By the looks of it, she'd need a new one by the start of next year! As more students introduced themselves, Pip took in a deep breath, and smiled. It smelled of earth, damp, cool, and natural - just as a greenhouse ought to smell. Upon hearing her classmates' responses to the first question posed, Pippa thought to herself, And respect. Although, that was just something her parents had instilled in her. Plants were indeed alive, and a lot of them temperamental.

Kyson huffed as he entered the greenhouse for his Herbology lesson. It smelled just like he expected it to, of dirt and manure and other such substances. Disgusting. He may not be a germaphobe like his sister, but he wasn't looking forward to shoving his hands into dragon dung fertilizer and playing with plants that could potentially kill him. He took a seat next to a girl from his house, Esmée 'accent on the second E' Bianchi. If he had a galleon for every time he heard that phrase... Regardless, he didn't exactly plan on having a conversation with her. He just didn't want to sit next to the other students that might try to talk to him, and especially not the redhaired know-it-all from Ravenclaw. It was like she studied the textbook beforehand, with everything she listed off. However, both her and Emma missed a few specifics that he knew. "Kyson Macclellan of Slytherin house, sir, and to add to the ladies' comments, dragon-hide gloves are needed, dragon dung compost and fertilizer specifically, and a pair of earmuffs will be necessary for a future lesson. Keeping our wands at least on our person might do us well too, in case your plants try to eat us, or something." Having a mother who thoroughly enjoyed Herbology wasn't such a bad thing after all. It was certainly helping him in this case.

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name. 'Cause I was only born inside my dreams.
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light, my shadow's over you. 'Cause I am the opposite of amnesia.
And you're a cherry blossom, you're about to bloom. You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon.
Some legends are told. Some turn to dust or to gold. But you will remember me, remember me for centuries.
And just one mistake is all it will take. We'll go down in history, remember me for centuries.

Annie was excited about Herbology, mainly because before she was killed her mother liked to take outside and garden or even visit the community plots where they lived. It was this large amount of land where the people in the community planted different fruits, vegetables, and flowers for everyone to share and care for. It was one of hers and the neighborhood kids favorite place to play and entertain themselves. She knew that the greenhouses were probably nothing like what she'd experience, she was pretty sure half of what was in here could kill her if she wasn't too careful. The Gryffindor girl took a random stool as she came in just seconds before he locked the doors, whew!, and sat through his rather soul crushing and terrifying spiel about the class. When he asked for introductions, like most classes before him, she waited until it was her turn before standing and offering a smile, but nervous, grin. "Anna-Marie Curts, Gryffindor..sir!" she added as an afterthought. It was probably a good thing she didn't do her usual annoying thing about her various nicknames from the way he immediately went after two different students about their own. Anna had thought that maybe the Slytherin girl just liked another last name but that Mambo girl she was really curious about. She was rather hard to miss with those long rainbow dreadlocks of hers which actually reminded her of a friend of her Grandma's that she saw when she was in Scotland. Holy crap, she was in Scotland now! Maybe she could ask Auntie Jarai if she could send her some of that Haitian monkey bread...
