She noticed that the Slytherin opted to help a classmate. That was rather nice of her.
"Two points... for helping a peer." Yep it deserved some recognition. "Thank you."
Though she didn't look directly at the professor, a small smile played on Sierra's lips. Now
that had been exactly what she'd hoped would happen. Hey, Ravenclaw, Slytherin thanks you for donating to the cause. You know. Getting us out of the negatives.
Sierra turned her gaze to the Ravenclaw she'd helped.
"Not a problem at all, Professor Bentley," she said, abandoning her toadstool and returning to her seat. Once there, she looked toward Bentley.
"...and thank you." Text Cut: Hera

"Now a few of you have mentioned pixies, and in case you wondering, yes we have pixies in this greenhouse. Now... they're not going to be happy with what we're about to do, so I need you all on high alert, and I would greatly appreciate it if some of the more experienced students could help out the first and second years." Otherwise this would be just too chaotic.
"This is the last activity we'll be doing today, but its also the most dangerous. Pixies can be... a bit of a handful, so be careful and look out for one another." It would be fun, and certainly interesting to watch.
"Herbology is not only about plants and how to care for them, it also involves identifying cautions and knowing how to deal with them in a safe and conscientious manner."
Instructions time. Seren turned her head briefly to glance at the 'stools and their protectors. This would be interesting.
"For this activity we will be harvesting the caps... this lot have already released their spores, so in time a new lot will grow to replace the ones we harvest today." Otherwise she wouldn't dare harvest them. No no no.
"You wont need to numb these ones as they don't feel pain like the Biting Toadstool do, but you will need your wand to stun or freeze the pixies."
"When you're harvesting the caps, simply hold it by the top and twist it off, then you'll need to deposit them into this box." Seren indicated a cardboard box not far from where they were standing.
"You need to harvest three caps each. And good luck."
"Remember to help each other out, and don't be afraid to ask for help."

Pixies in the greenhouse? Help out the first and second years?! Psh. It was every man...er, student...for themselves as far as Sierra was concerned. She'd done her good deed for the year. Again, she eyed Bentley, though. Blah. She guessed she'd help one or two if they absolutely needed her, and if they were a Puffer or Gryffindor, well they might just be on their own. Not only that, if a Pixie happened to be after
her, she'd save herself before someone else.
Of course.
With her wand at the ready in case one of those blasted Pixies decided to pay her a visit, she approached a toadstool. She gripped the top of the cap, gave the toadstool and 'evil, I'm gonna get you' type smile, then twisted it toward the right.
Snap! Sierra smiled as she held the harvested cap in her hand. She headed to the box and dropped the cap inside then headed back to her work area.

All in slowmotion, because he was epic. The pixies seemed to be moving fast for slow motion though. "stuuuupeeeeehfyyyyy" Alright slowmotion spells didn't work. Back to normal speed. "Stupefy!" A pixie dropped unconcious on the cap of the toadstool. With just his finger he pushed it off the cap. Then he took ahold of the cap, twisted it and it came off. YEAHH!! He held it in the air like a person who had won a trophee... In slowmotion. But then got slapped back to reality when a couple pixies were trying to make him fall down. They were undermining his legs. Stupid pixiiiies. He tried to kick them off. But no use. He couldn't do anything because he was afraid of hitting himself. So he ran towards the cardboard box and dropped the cap in. DUN DUN DUN. YEAH. Now to get rid of these pixies clinging to his legs. "Little help, anybody?" he asked.
Heh. Oh, look. A Ravenclaw in need. Sierra was getting pretty good at benefiting from helping the Claws. As she made her way toward the boy, wand still at the ready, she smirked at the way he was holding the Pixie up like some trophy. Now that's what she was talking about! Treat it like a house elf, kid!
"Stupefy!" she called out, raising her wand toward a few Pixies. One or two flew by and pulled her hair, so she turned toward them with a glare in her eyes.
"Get away from me, you idiotic creatures!" ...
"Stupefy!"
