As was probably obvious to anyone who looked at him, Kaiser had not slept.

This wasn't exactly new, he'd suffered with insomnia since he was thirteen years old, after all. Still, it never got any less frustrating. Kaiser had spent most of the night staring up at the canopy of his bed, tired from the long day but not even remotely close to sleep. In the end he'd given up on even trying, and spent the rest of the night reading by wandlight; luckly they still had curtains around their beds so he hadn't disturbed anyone else. Probably.

Sleep or no sleep, classes were a thing that he had to go to, and here he was, in a lesson that he was, uh... not great at. Finding the place hadn't been too difficult - the fact that they had Herbology strongly suggested that they would need to head out to the grounds, at least - but even Kaiser, who had an excellent sense of direction, did not instinctively know the way to a place he had never been before. After a bit of accidental exploring, he arrived at the greenhouse assigned to Hogwarts well before the lesson started. Searching for individual classrooms later would be an interesting experience; at least when he'd started at Hogwarts his dorm-mates had already been at school for two years, meaning he could just use them for guidance. No such luck here.

"Morning," Kaiser greeted Professor Beryl once he had entered the greenhouse, before going ahead and stowing away everything bar the items he needed for the lesson. Having labelled the, uh, 'cubby hole' with a quickly scrawled 'Kaiser', he went to take a seat with everyone else.

Also, the herbs? Just smelled like plants. Kaiser wasn't even close to adept at identifying herbs by scent OR sight, and really just defaulted to calling all of them 'plants' in his head. He wasn't about to go declaring that for the entire room, either, and so opted to stay silent.
