Jumping a foot in the air was looking like the norm for this lesson because that's exactly what Lucas ended up doing when Rainwater spoke directly to him. Having a Professor talk to him wasn't........ weird, but it was enough to take him by surprise when he didn't know the man was standing there in the first place.

Besides, 'believe in yourself' was something he was not new to hearing. At all.

And his response? "Uh, yeah, sure. Thanks, Professor." Could he continue practising? Because that's all he wanted to do right now. They still had plenty of time left for the practice, right?

Wrong.

With his wand still held in mid-air, Lucas' green eyes looked up and found Rainwater, who was calling for their attention to explain their next activity. The floor is lava?! Oh merlin. Oh merlin oh merlin. Eyes wide, he immediately glanced over at Shivvy, silently wondering if she was making the same mental connections that he was. Connections that had a little something to do with Zoryn Spinnet. Did Rainwater know? This couldn't be a coincidence, right? Right??

But that was the least of his worries right now. As much as Rainwater was trying to convince them that they were going to be fine, the Gryffindor still didn’t like the idea of trying to make his way across a room of poisonous plants. And if it was up to him, he would choose to stay in here for the remainder of the lesson instead of choosing to take part in The Floor is Poison.

But if he chose to only wait until he felt confident enough, he would be waiting a very long time.

With this thought in mind, Lucas let out a small sigh and gave Shivvy a small shrug before walking to the other room. The extension. One that was filled with a number of plants and plant pots on wheels? Was that safe?! Whatever. When one stopped in front of him, he carefully stepped up on it. Was it sturdy? Uh. Well, no was the answer, which was what caused him to grip onto the plant on the pot he was standing on for dear life.

Breathe, Dakest, breathe.

He didn’t know how long it took for the wheeled pot to stop in front of a plant but eventually, it did. This was it, this was it. His grip on his wand tightened but he tried to look as, uh, ~confident~ as he could. "Venenum Hortus!" he called, doing his best to draw the outline of a tree for the wand movement.

Please let this be safe, please let this be safe.
