Deciding to set her bag down for the time being, Kurumi rolled her shoulders as Professor Bentley officially began the lesson. Her expression brightened a bit when the woman said that the theme of the term would be herbs because Kurumi knew a thing or two about those. Mostly from baking really. She had recently begun experimenting with savory cupcake and cookie recipes, so herbs like parsley and basil were in her stock pile now. Before she had only used what she considered soft flavors - lavender and mint sort of things.

...there weren't any flesh eating herbs in the wizarding world, were there?!

After a moment, Kurumi raised her hand. "A herb, at least how I have always thought about them, is a plant that is grown for use in cooking, medicine, or even spiritual rituals. In cooking, herbs are not used primarily for substance, but more for flavor. They are plants where typically the leafy or flowery part is used...but I think you can use the seeds too. My grandmother used to use lavender seeds when making perfume."
