Josie hadn't realized it but had watched Ethan scribble down his name on his name tag & continued to watch him place it on his robes. She was a bit startled when he looked at her to flash her a smile, almost seeming as if he were seeking approval of his name tag. Taking a moment to eye his name tag & check to see he'd spelled his name properly, her eyes met his before returning that same smile which was then followed by a nod of approval.

Once turning her attention away from Ethan & back towards the Professor, she still couldn't help but give a side glance every now & then to Sophie who was still shockingly beside her. This was really unexpected honestly, she hadn't anticipated this at all, NOT THAT SHE WAS THINKING IT WAS A BAD THING! IT WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE!!! But aside from that, it was actually really comforting that she was beside her, because it made the third year think back to her first term when she & Miss Brown had played together on the BEST team ever! Merlin, she really missed it.

But hush now, the lesson had begun..

And the first question was anything that they wanted to share about plants. Josie's brain picked at an interesting myth she'd read about when she was once catching up on some ways to care for her little garden back home. Her hand soon raised waiting to be picked on & she would only speak just as she'd been chosen. "I-I'd read once about the Holly p-plant..That n-not only was i-it used by the Romans & i-is a very n-nice decoration for the holidays..B-But I h-heard that t-the Holly plant is believed to house fairies and elves who come indoors to enjoy the holiday with witches & w-wizards...O-Oh, I also heard that i-in certain areas it's used t-to repel evil.."

..Was that too much talking?
