Maybe if we all show each other a little more forgiveness every now and then, it would spread...I always tell my partner, I do--" he was rambling on, now, but he didn't seem to notice--"There is so much in this life to be grateful for, to love and cherish--I would hate to spend any minute of it consumed with hatred or anger--it would only blacken my being." And Paul didn't want that, at all.

"Oh but m'boy! That's what the Greenhouses are THERE for! I want you all to barge in whenever it suits your fancy! You can stop by tomorrow, if you want, when you're done with classes. I can show you around...it can be a relaxing thing, though. Nothing high pressure. You'll have enough of that later on in the term, I swear it! But don't let it get to you--" Paul seemed to want to give out a LOT of advice today....he touched Ethan's shoulder. "Don't let it get to you! Stress is such a negative addition to the mind and the body--to conquer your NEWTs, you must remain relaaaaaaxed."

Relaxed. Like Paul.

"I hope so too! I do. And I hope that even people who don't much like plants or Herbology will enjoy my class--somewhat. Even if not EVERY class if their cup of tea."


"Exactly. And I think we're more susceptible to it because we have magic inside us." he said tilting his head WONDERING how in Hades' Hell did he become so Philosophical nowadays. Maybe he's reading too much face reading books, that his brain was sloooowly becoming one like that of a revered monk. Anyhow, he was happy that Professor Myers share the same sentiment. Now he knew he's a good man...albeit the small hiccup moments ago. Not that it was his fault or something.

Ethan looked beside him, thoroughly amused by the enthusiasm Paul has got. Maybe...maybe Herbology really isn't so bad...and maybe he just needs more patience and confidence to overcome the subject. But...will it really get so bad by the end of the term? The seventh year flinched at the thought and averted his gaze from the professor and back to the scene before them. Ethan nodded when he felt the hand on his shoulder. It was very reassuring. "I promise to try my very best, sir." Ethan grinned as a way of saying thank you. "I hope you don't mind me asking...what was it like when you took your NEWTs? I'm sure you aced Herbology...but...how did you get over your weaker subjects?" Well, the Slytherin was sure that the man beside him has a weakness, yeah? And probably he wasn't any different to him now, correct?

"I think it's best to stay positive, professor. I mean...you can't please everyone, but there's no harm in trying." Like in Divination? He had reservations about the subject before, but since he realized he could use it to his advantage, he began to appreciate it more as each term passed. It did help too that they've got a very positive professor who helms it.
