What other ones were there? "Well that's a very broad question, we have a whole host of various species. We how bulbs, plants, shrubs, trees, vines, aquatic plants, lichens, toadstools... the list goes on."
Perhaps she should consider writing up an inventory of sorts.. maybe..

"Flutterby's and shrivelfigs are always rather popular, as are the puffapods and honking daffodils. The more dangerous plants and flesh-eaters are kept in a secure greenhouse, so you don't need to worry about being eaten alive... just maybe nibbled on." She hoped this would be reassuring. It wasn't as if anybodies died studying herbology at Hogwarts.



Seren was slightly taken aback by the Ravenclaws abrupt question, all she could manage were a few mm's and uuhhh's..
"Well.. no I'm not," she finally said uncertainly. Truth be told she could have been and still could be, easily... all she had to do was say yes during the summer break. But instead, what did she do? .. she ran. "I'm not really in a hurry to get settled down," she added, conscious of her age. Heck her mother told her to hurry up often enough. "Plants are all I need."



Hawaii... sounded blissful. "Sounds like you had an amazing time," she said smiling and nodding as she listened to the young Lion.
"Oh I had a lovely summer, spent some time in Italy, then made a short stop over to Wales before going to Australia." t had been a rather eventful summer to say the least, and one she wouldn't forget for some time.

As the topic shifted to classes, Seren sat a little straighter in her seat. "Oh I have some wonderful things in store for you, I promise," she said with a wink. "We'll be looking at puffapods again this term.. and then a different but another very special and unique type of flower later on."



"Oh good, I'm glad." It was always nice to know the first years were settling in well... and not getting a hard time form the older students.

Seren raised her eyebrows curiously, listening to Nate's question. This rather excited her, though she wasn't pleased to hear that one of the school books have been disrespected. "Ahh the biting banyan..." she started dreamily. She loved them, and had seen many in her time. "It's one of the most vicious flesh-eating trees known to wizard kind. They're very dangerous and highly intimidating. They resemble completely dead trees, and nothing will grow on it, not even a the smallest bit of lichen. Their branches are razor sharp owing to the fact that they sharpen them on their bark..." Seren paused briefly, eyeing the boy. She wasn't scaring him off herbology was she? "The one defining factor about their appearance, is the boned hanging from their branches.. sort of like trophies, a warning to passersby."



"Oh it's amazing, I definitely suggest you check it out some time. They have the most amazing wild life..." and of course that's what she cared about most.. that and Aron. But he was considered wildlife yes?... Men were a different species after all. Snapping out of her thoughts Seren smiled inwardly. "Perugia, it's such a beautiful place, very... cultured."



"Sounds brilliant, I' aspiring for the same results... for the time being, I suppose you could just keep your eye out on the newer students make sure they're keeping their noses clean." The last thing she wanted was to hear they disrespected another professor and cost them precious house points. "... and maybe see if Kurumi has anything planned that you could help her with." There would no doubt be something in the works.

Seren followed Selina's gaze. Yes... she certainly seemed to be in high demand, no doubt she would have some explaining of sorts to do. "Mmm yes, that would be appreciated," she said, not really looking forward to the awkward conversations. "Keep me posted with the try outs and good luck," she said giving her Captain a nod.



Seren simply smiled brightly at Gideon's kind words, even if they did sound a little awkward escaping his lips. It was nice to know he was in her corner, after all the lions were a team, and so they would find a way to get the job done. "That'd be very much appreciated Gideon, I'm sure the girls and Adam would greatly appreciate your assistance... and a little extra guidance for the young ones can't hurt."

"Looking forward to classes starting up again?"
