Hmm..why indeed? Of course she caught that wink. But what exactly did it mean? Looking around once more, Beatrice reminded herself that the reason behind the darkness was the ivy all around the greenhouse. So...maybe...

"Oh!" She suddenly exclaimed, as if guessing what the Professor meant. Then she frowned a bit, surely those ivy aren't dangerous. Professor Seren would never cause harm to the students. "Err--Professor Seren, they don't bite, do they?" She asked, head gesturing the ivy tendrils that the Professor was seemingly playing with.
Bite?... "Oh heavens no, they just like to cuddle."

Merlin was that embarrassing. But she had made it to class.

Puffing slightly from the run she waltzed into the greenhouse. "Hi Professor," she said as she found a position to sit. Hopefully the professor wouldn't be mad at her for not being precisely on time.
"Morning Amelia," she replied smiling at the rushed Slytherin.

"Hello dear," she nodded at the Hufflepuff.

"Well...it's cute," Kurumi said with a surprisingly convincing smile on her face.
"It most certainly is... rather affectionate creepers they are." ... unless you were intruding, then their cuddles were more like a feeble attempt at strangulation.

Maybe she'd still be able to keep bilingual, beyond occasionally testing Matt's knowledge of the language.

"I did. My summer was very nice," she replied, even as it seemed the professor was anxious about the time. Certain things about her summer were better than others, namely what had happened during her birthday surprise once she was back in London, but she really couldn't complain. She wasn't about to say much more, though. Especially if class was going to begin soon.
"Brilliant, then I trust you're well rested for this lesson."
Resting... who needed resting when they had herbology?

Anyway she was going to screw something up with those plants.... Finally arriving in front of the Greenhouses, Gwen realized she wasn't late. Phew. After waiting a couple of minutes to regain her breath, the Ravenclaw finally came in.

'Hello Professor Bentley', she smiled and then joined the large group.
"Good morning Gwen," she greeted brightly.

Even the place was a bit gloomy, the dark haired little girl shrugged it away and took a position near other people with Gryffindor uniforms until she CAUGHT something MOVING from the corner of her eyes.

There was this long, green ivy thing moving!!!! Oooh...interesting!!! Unholstering his wand quickly she started to poke the moving thing with it. Also she had a question that she had been dying to ask about magical plants and flowers so she did while still poking the vine so. ''Professor, is it true that there are HUGE and VERY DANGEROUS plants and flowers that can eat flesh like animals and PEOPLE!!!! I wanna see how they attack and consume the flesh!!!''
All of a sudden Seren was confronted by some sort of assault on her ears. What in the name of.... ?
She eyed the dark haired girl that had entered. Well... at least she was enthusiastic, right? An a Lion no less.
"It most certainly is true... but we'll save the flesh-eaters for another lesson."

"Oh yes I did indeed, but it's good to be back."
She liked to keep herself busy... and the students most certainly kept her on her toes. Stealing a sidelong glance, Seren smiled. "Creeping Ivy dear.. it won't bite."

Saber was lying over her shoes, thus hiding them from plain sight. She was relieved when she saw others still arriving. She nodded to the Professor, "Good Day, Professor Bentley. I hope your day is going fabulously already." After she finished greeting the professor, she want and took a seat next to Alyssa, Minnie, Harvey, and Butterfly
"Morning dear, and thank you it's going quite well."

LuLu smiled ''Hello Proffeser Bently,''

"Morning LuLu dear,"
she replied brightly, flashing the Ravenclaw a bright smile.

"Morning Jezabel, and yes I did thank you,"
she greeted.

'Hello, Professor.' Ariadne greeted after catching her breath and joining the group. Were they going to do some kind of group activity? If so, she hoped to be paired with someone more skilled at Herbology than her. Which could be almost anyone.
Smiling at one of her Lions's Seren gave the girl a nod of her head. "Morning dear."

"Good morning,"
said Seren despite the lack of greeting.

"Morning Louisa," she greeted brightly.

Smiling at the professor as he passed her standing right next to the entrance, Lewis greeted her, "Good day, Professor Bentley." Yes, she was one of the few professors he actually knew the name of. Not that that would do him any good or help him get a decent grade or anything but still. He nodded at her instructions and went to stand with the other students already there, not looking at anybody in particular as he did so.

"Good morning dear,"
she replied to the young Hufflepuff.. so many new faces.

"Hi Professor," he said with a cheery wave, joining the growing crowd. What excitement would they be doing today? More bitey things, yes?
"Good morning Spike," she greeted with a small wink.

Tiffany was quite anxious about that since it was good to meet Professor Bentley again. Remembering the fun she had last year, especially with the puffapods, she was totally looking forward to it though she may get herself filled with soil and dirt during lesson.

Waving at the professor who stood at the entrance, waiting for students to come, Tiffany greeted her with a splendid smile,"Good day, professor," Then off she went, finding a place to get settled till she heard the professor saying that they had to form themselves into groups. Well...Tiffany had no idea whom she was going to work with so she decided to wait till her friends came.

"Hello Tiffany,"
greeted Seren, a bright smile for another one of her Gryffindors.

"Good morning," she greeted with a nod.

He walked to the area where everyone gathered. He noticed the professor standing and waiting, he looked up and smiled at her "Good Morning, Professor" he said and stood to the boy who looked older than him.



He walked closer to the boy so that he could see his face properly. The boy was taller than him. Zack looked up and said "Hey, I'm Zack. I'm in the first year." he said and stood next to him.

Zack didn't want to lose points in the class for his mischievousness as he did in the Muggle School. He didn't want his parents to come and talk to the principal here in Hogwarts, who knows what they did to student who misbehaved. He didn't want to get in anymore trouble.
"Good morning Zack," she replied warmly.

Sure, she'd have preferred for Professor Bentley to have become the Ravenclaw Head of House, but what happened happened. Herbology'd always be her favourite subject.

"Hi Professor Bentley!"
Elise grinned, bounting on the balls of her feet. "Isn't it a little dark?" A little? Elise squinted as her eyes adjusted to the lack of light.

Was that Ivy? And was it moving?

"Hello dear,"
she started before smirking slightly. "Depends how you mean a little dark. A little dark as in good... or a little dark as in bad?"

As Violet walked past the teacher, she saw her friend Elise and waved to her. "Hello Elise, it's good to see you." Violet hoped that it wouldn't scare the girl that she had already knew her name from somewhere, but kept on smiling at the girl.

Violet had to do a double take just then because hadn't she seen the professor stroking something? That it was actually moving? Yes, the professor was stroking some bizarre plant. Did it look like Ivy? As in poison ivy. Now that got Violet scared and quickly joined the others in the group in front of the professor beside Elise.

"Morning dear, thank you and it's good to see you too... glad you could make it."

"Morning Pam dear," she replied.

But when he saw his classmates standing there and the Professor also he sighed and stepped further. "Hello Professor~!" he greeted with a cheerful voice and waved his hand a little. "Had a good summer?" he questioned as he brought a hand through his now short blonde hair when his head started to itch and then out of habit to his ears to check if the earrings were still in. Yup check.
"Good morning Daichi, I had a splendid summer, thanks for asking."
She would have struck up a short conversation... but it was about time to start the lesson.



Right... well that was about all of them yes? Good.

After closing the door to the greenhouse, Seren turned on her heel to face the students. "Welcome everyone to the first herbology lesson of the term, for those of you who are returning, it's good to see you... for those of you who are new, welcome I hope you enjoy your time here."

"Now before we start I hope you have all familiarised yourselves with the class rules and I hope you all have your gloves with you. If not, please take this time to grab a pair from the stores cupboard,"
she said indicated the cupboard near the door opposite her.

She paused briefly to allow time for those students to get settled. "Now a few of you have asked about this ivy that is growing on the window panes... and for the record, they won't harm you, though they may attempt to wrap themselves around your ankles or your fingers should you allow them to." She gave a few of the leaves another gentle stroke as they reached out to her.

"Now before we move deeper into the greenhouse, does anybody have any idea as to why there is little light in here?"

OOC: The lesson has OFFICIALLY started, do not post your character arriving late unless you want to lose house points-- just pretend you were here the whole time, also no more chatting please, and DO NOT edit your posts/answers. Feel free to be as creative as you like with your response and I shall continue this lesson in approximately 12 hours.
