"A surprise!" she said grinning more broadly now. She was having difficulty with controling her excitement now. "A very very special treat," she added, as if this would make the girl feel better.

And she wasn't fibbing... or exaggerating. It was incredibly special.. more so than the Stuby Purple Coral.

Time to stop the students, she thought.

Moving to the front of the class she began her concluding speech... because with Seren it was always going to be a speech. Partially nerves but mostly excitement led her to ramble ecessively.
"Ok class, I'm afraid we've come to the end of the lesson, so for those of you that have completed the task, well done and thank you... for those that havn't, you have one minute to quickly finish up anything."

She paused briefly to catch her breath- and give the students enough time to process what she had said.

"Please make sure you have your tanks- labelled and your attendence cards sitting on top of your desks."
This was very important.

"Now you may be dismissed, however I have one last thing to show you before you go," she said taking a few calculated steps towards the larger tubular tank- still covered.
"First of all, know that you are all safe... the specimen I have here is deceased and is enclosed in unbreakable glass.. it is completely secure... it cannot harm you."
She made eye contact with a few students... offering them a small smile. No matter what she brought into the classroom she would always make sure the students safety came first.

Gripping the sheet covering the tank Seren gave it a hearty tug, letting the fabric fall away, unveiling one of the most glorious plants she had ever seen... and one of the most deadly. This specimen was submerged in a preserving liquid of light amber... and unlike the other specimens it was just floating lifelessly in the tank, its roots exposed.
The lacey fragile leaves almost appeared to be fluttering lightly in the liquid, bobbing up and down, all the while staying transfixed in the same place. A magical sight. The two foot tall specimen with three stalks and brilliant lacey flowers- not unlike the hybiscus glowed with an errie mix of vibrant colours. Shades of gold and silver flecked the leaves and stalks, tones of red and blue and green painted this stunning plant. Indeed all the colours of the rainbow reflected from its surface.
"May I introduce to you... one of the deadliest plants known to wizardkind," she began as if introducing an old friend, ".. the Prayer Flower."

"Feel free to come up and have a look. If you have any questions regarding the lesson, now would be the time to ask."

Oh and on a side note.
"Please keep your eyes out for the homework announcement on your commonroom notice boards, and also the herbology noticeboard....
Thank you... and I hope you all ejoyed todays lesson"
, she noticed that some of the students weren't shivering anymore.. that was a good sign.
"We'll be indoors for the next lesson", she added with a smile.

OOC: If you haven't finished RPing the activity you may finish doing so but only in one post, so instead of breaking up the activity into 5 posts you will need to finish it in 1 regardless of how many you have left- hope this makes sense. Also if you have any questions or want to go up and see the Prayer flower you may do so. Otherwise if you wish to leave you may also do so.

Homework will be up tomorrow.


'One of the deadliest plants known to wizardkind,' Zara repeated in her head. Wow. Cool. Zara wanted to come up front, but she was afraid she's gonna fall over and knock down the tank, if that was possible. She remained in her seat and squinted her eyes to see it clearly. Nearsighted, she was. A little. "Prayer Flower." Zara whispered to herself.

And class was nearly over since there were student coming up front to see the Prayer Flower so Zara couldn't see anymore from her seat. And the others were ready to go out of the ship and back on land--which was a good idea because she was almost on the verge of vomiting in the ship. Others were still asking questions, some were finishing their work as quick as possible, and the others were going to professor to say goodbye or maybe have a conversation or two.

Zara sleepily put her stuff back in her bag. Inks, quills, notes, and all that. She took one last look at what she has done. Her tank was with its label, including Zara's name and the attendance card on top of her desk. She was good to go. Before leaving, she went over to Professor, who was answering the questions, "Thanks for the lesson, professor," she smiled weakly. "Goodbye." She nodded and was about to turn and go safely back to land.
