She was about to lead them further in toward the back of the greenhouse when she suddenly remembered something.
"Make sure you have your gloves and wand with you." Becasue of course if she didn't tell them everything they would likely forget. Children were amazing in that sense.

Leading the students down the central corridor of the greenhouse, she took them to a slightly darker, slightly damper and slightly cooller section of the greenhouse. But everything was still visible. Esecially the stunning and fragrent toadstools.

The scent of peppermint hung thick in the air here, and it had a very soothing effect.

Rallying the students around the beds of toadstools, she gave the little red and white striped caps a smile, though their black stems weren't as easy to see.

Orchid followed the professor with gloves in hand and her wand in her pocket and a smile on her face that was due to her victory.

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?! Oh no! This is so not safe for first and second years, they don't even know how to stun yet! But the professor knows best. She thought to herself as she looked around her for any pixies, wand out and gloves on, as she headed towards the first toadstool and began twisting the cap off. Just as she succeeded in her task she heard wings fluttering above her. Oh no! Well, time to get to the real work. She thought as she looked above her, holding the cap in her left hand firmly, and her wand in her right. "Stupify!" She shouted as one lunged for her, she then proceeded to dodge another until it came back around for her and started pulling on her hair and messing up her ponytail. "Oh no they didn't! NOBODY TOUCHES THE HAIR!!" She screamed as she ran after the pixie, the stupid little pixie. This was so unlike Orchid, she loves animals and creatures, but once they start going for the hair - that's it. After about six minutes of chasing the blasted thing she finally froze it and laughed at it's shocked expression. "Ha!" She said walking away and back to the toadstools.
