Wait, the professor was showing her a picture, Sarah remembered seeing something similar in her Aunt's tea cupboard (her aunt was such a Brit... Sarah wondered if her aunt knew how to make tea herself as the housekeeper always brought her aunt her tea. Green Tea... tasted gross yet her Aunt said that she needed it to keep thin). Sarah raised her hand again, "maybe a sort of tea leaf?"

Done with the note taking for now, he looked back at the plant and raised his hand. Adi was going to give this a shot anyway. "I don't know what it's called but maybe it's used for cooking?''

Lex caught the look the Professor gave her but kept her expression pleasant. Being accidentally eaten by a plant? That's just your fault right there.

Alexa looked over the plant. "That's...a leaf Professor." Call her obvious but that was just about ALL she was seeing. "A very plain one at that, making the whole plant look plain so I'll say it's a plain plant until you say otherwise or someone comes up with a better idea."

In the meantime, the plant wouldn't mean much to her because she doubted it could do much of anything. No fangs, see.

If it really was a tea leaf like Sarah had said then Lottie would really be missing out on this lesson. This was more her kind of thing. Lex just added chocolate to whatever tea Lottie made. It worked.

That seemed like a rather broad answer, but she was pretty sure that she had gotten her point across anyways.




Hmm... there were so many things that we could use as far as Herbology was concerned. It seemed like everybody had already said everything that had come to the sixth years mind. Of course they would use plants in potions and healing remedies. You could cook plants. Oh! An idea just came to her. Her hand was in the air. "Professor, you could use plants to use in a posion." Sure, that was most likely not a good idea in the professor's eyes, but it could still be done. You never knew when you would need a good posion lying around.



She stared at the plant thinking that she should most likely know what kind it was. Hannah was not very good at identifying the different plants because a lot of them looked the exact same to her and it seemed like tedious work to the slytherin. Still she could give it a stab in the dark right? She raised her hand. "Professor is it a Camellia sinensis?" She really didn't think that she was right but she gave it a guess and that counted for something right?

Instead of guessing, the blonde sketched a quick picture of the plant and eyed it again thoughtfully. Hmm. "Hellebore, Professor?" She was pretty sure Hellebore leaves could be serrated.

"Professor, I don't know what it is, but it does appear to be healthy. I don't see any wilting or brown spots." Nope, not what she asked, but it was the best answer he could come up with.

Sophie stared at the plant before her. How was she supposed to know what it was? It didn't look like it was trying to eat anybody, so it couldn't be too dangerous. But...what made it different from any other plant out there? She had no idea.

Uhhhhh.....

"It's a green, leafy-type plant," she finally said, raising her hand. Yeah. That about summed up her prior knowledge of whatever that plant was.

He didn't think it looked like a magical plant, though there were a LOT of those and Tobias still had yet to read through all his Herbology books. It DID look like a muggle plant though, because he'd done his reading on those too, because they were relevant.

When Professor Bentley asked them to try and identify it, Tobias raised his hand. "I think it's a tea plant, Professor. I don't remember the latin name."

Hopefully his extra studying was starting to pay off.

Hmmm...what could it be? That is a good question. Kace had one idea though. "Professor that isn't poison ivy is it?" It kind of look similar and he had a similar experience with that plant this summer. It was NOT fun.

"It looks mundane to me, Professor... like non-magical. Maybe an herb with properties that can be used by Muggles and wizarding kind alike."

"Professor, could it be the plant from which the floo powder is extracted?"

When she asked about the plant Minerva was afraid to even look. Don't have vine, don't have vine, don't be a flesh eater, don't be a flesh eater. She looked just enough to notice it didn't seem like a flesh eater and she put her hand up, "Professor it seems to be an herb of some kind. Possibly used for cooking." They had done herbs a few terms ago and she felt like she recognized it, but wasn't completely sure of the name.
