Louisa was staring in disbelief. Were they actually studying toadstools? As in…frogs' seats? She kept her face blank as she listened and scribbled down on her parchment some notes. And when it was time to identify a toadstool, Louisa sat back on her seat, uninterested. She kept an eye on the plant or seat to show that she was paying attention - no interest doesn't mean to be careless about knowledge. Not for her, anyway.

Biting...? O__o Okay, she was going to stay away from that thing, thank you.

Fangs? Gulp.

Why was the Professor acting so happy about it? It was a good thing the Bentley was a great professional teacher with nice skin, Louisa would've had a whole different opinion on the lady.

Oh and guess what... they had to HARVEST the fangs. Louisa blinked. Several times until she made sure that her dragon hiding gloves were not asked for the sake of herbologist-like uniform.

..wait what? They were going to numb 'the frogs seats' out? What about the students fingers? Didn't those need to be numbed as well? What if some of them did have delicate fingers? Louisa, absently, looked down at her gloved hands and moved them a little. Maybe when the biting toadstools wouldn't bite when they were numb... please?

Louisa wrote down the spell and started muttering it, "Vir- Viro Torpo...Viro Torpeo...Viro Torpeo...Viro Torpeo..." Yep, that pretty much covered it. Wow, she was getting better at repeating spells. Her fourth year did start with an optimistic week - her social life aside, of course. Then came the movement part, she started doing the easy jabbing movement while her mind wondered what'd happen to the frogs' seats if jabbed.

And it was action time; Louisa pointed her wand at a toadstool, "Viro Torpeo." Very clearly and rather too loudly. The creature went limp. Louisa squinted her eyes at it, bringing her face so down to the plant and nudged it lightly. Nope. Nothing. Not that she knew what it would've don had it not been numbed, but it was the typical test to numbness...no?

Moving on, she took a grip on the cap, carefully placing two fingers on one tooth and YANK! the cap was squeezed tightly involuntarily but the tooth was out. The girl, with a VERY smug face, put the first one down and took out the next one the same way, squeezing the cap once more which made it rather... askew. Proudly, Louisa brought the teeth and dropped them in the jar. There, she was good with fanged plants.

Aaand they were going..somewhere. Louisa had her gloves still on but she got her wand and off with the rest of them to the back of the greenhouse. Looking down at the toadstools the Professor was talking about she almost sighed. MORE toadstools or whatever they were. Meh, she thought they were going to trim a big beautiful tree but noo, they had to harvest three of those... and expect a pixie attack. Brilliant.

Louisa looked around, in case a pixie was spying on them, and moved to one of the beds, crouched in front of it and took a grab of the first Peppermint Striped Parasol she saw. Taking a grab was the keyword since a pixie was flying its way toward Louisa... the girl jumped on her feet and shouted a "STUPIFY!" At it but it didn't come out well since she was.. you know, starting her fourth year. The pixie started landing on Louisa's head, poke it and then fly further as the fourth year flailed her arms over her head. "Geerrooff!" She yelled at the creature. Pointing her wand at it quickly she shouted another spell, "Glacius!!" And it worked. The pixie was frozen.

Panting and cursing this class Louisa crouched back down, got hold of the plant's cap and twisted it. There. First down, two more to go.
