Default Herbology Lesson 2

Just as the plants in her greenhouses had withered, so had June Flamsteed. Paler, and thinner - the brunette was waiting for the students at the entrance of the courtyard. Since Greenhouses were off limits - June had been resorted to taking her lesson away from it all, a thing she had mentioned on the noticeboard as well - so no one would wander off.

Eyes fixated on the vines wrapped around the stone eagle sculptures in the middle of the courtyard, June tried to make sense of it all - but the worry on her face was prominent. This was not normal. Not normal at all.

Maybe the students could enlighten her today.

Kinsay hadn't minded the vines at first. Sure, they were a little annoying, but maybe annoying wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. Maybe it just meant that they were resilient and didn't mind when people said mean things about them. Maybe it was- Well, it didn't really matter much. Because now they were making Professor Flamsteed sad and that was kinda crossing a line.

So yeah.

She didn't like these vines much anymore.

But as for how to get rid of them? Severing didn't seem to work and anytime they tried to get rid of them, they just grew back tenfold! It was impossible. Except maybe it wasn't. But it sure felt like it was. "Professor, are all these vines growing from the same root?" She wasn't going to ask questions anymore. Except. This one was relevant so it didn't count. "Because maybe we just need to find the root that started it all and attack it from the source." Maybe. Actually. Could she change her answer?

Validation.

That was what Atlas heard with each word that left his classmate's lips. Whether they were outright in their agreement like Evan or indirectly like Alice and then everyone else who had agreed with what she had said, it all aligned with what he had been thinking for months now as well as carried a bit of that 'told you so' energy with his questions and suggestions to professors. Even people mentioning fire felt like a sturdy pat on the back in a congratulatory manner.

ESPECIALLY when Kinsay James, the one who had MADE FUN OF HIM FOR FOCUSING SO MUCH ON VINES, asked the exact thing he had asked two other adults prior to reiterating it again at the start of this lesson.

SWEET SWEET VALIDATION!

While he did look pleased with himself, perhaps a bit too much so with his chest all puffed out and back straight, he was still quiet and listening as his aunt addressed each person (and offered even more validation to his words, yes, thank you please do come again). Even if she had to play the diplomat and not outright accuse the Board of sneaking something in...Atlas was reading between the lines since she HAD agreed with him.

Conspiracy theories were alive and well.

Though, he couldn't quite help himself and he pointed all exasperatedly at Kinsay after her answer. "That's what I've been saying!" Some more excited pointing towards Kinsay WHO HAD AGREED WITH HIM FOR ONCE. Maybe they could be friendly after all? "Can't we just...go back to where we planted things and see if there is anything? Chopping them or severing them without getting the roots just makes them grow back more, like the heads on a hydra. That's what the headmaster said anyway."

And if his aunt knew these vines and they were not behaving like they should...then they were FOR SURE something modified by witch or wizard hands. Dark magic, perhaps, like Claudine had said.

.... It was definitely noted that Professor Flamsteed said she knew what the plant was, but that she did not share with the class. He figured this was more of them needing to be able to figure it for themselves, but it was also noted she didn't say anything for or against Heathcliff's suggestion of Devil's Snare. Truthfully, it had been something Evan had thought as well but it was confusing considering the plant seemed fine with light. Although... was it growing more overnight while they were all asleep? Seemed like it, so perhaps it would have made sense and that was in part how it was acting so out of the ordinary?

He was brought out of his thoughts when Atlas exclaimed loudly after Kinsay spoke, and his head turned to look at the boy. Really, he seemed quite intelligent to the Ravenclaw - but it really was a shame on that habit of his of pointing at people.

Tuning back to the lesson, he considered everyone's suggestions but this time around maintained his silence. In truth, he didn't think it was a good idea at all to really try to dispose entirely of the plants until they knew the connection between the glowing, and the gases, AND the plant. Because what if they tried to burn it or something, as suggested, and instead they managed to just release more gases and actually cause more harm than good.

But considering others had already been chastised on staying on task and the question was what should they DO, nothing except research seemed an inappropriate answer. Maybe the roots would be safe enough.

Bella didn't know how to react when Professor June chuckled at her idea about Healer Poppy being responsible for the vines should she feel offended or pleased? She didn't know. It was probably best to just not dwell on it and be glad that she could make her professor laugh in these dark times.

Listening to everyone elses answers Bella tried to come up with something else they could do to stop the vines once and for all. Fire had already been mentioned as well potions. Raising her hand she wondered/suggested. "Is there any place where there is significantly more vines then anywhere else in the castle or grounds? If so then maybe that is where like Kinsay said the vines originated and where we should attack most? After several seconds she asked "Has anyone tried to experiment and see if these mutant vines retract when faced with fire, water or being stun? Maybe that's the next step since it might help with how we should attack the vines."

Feeling a little stung by Professor Flamsteed's rebuke, Violet hoped that at least someone somewhere was discussing who might have done this, because after the events of the past few years, it was pretty clear to her that there was usually someone with ill intentions behind most of these things, and it was just stupid to ignore that possibility. But she didn't have to be told to back off twice--she could already tell the Professor was possibly regarding her as some kind of crank. At least maybe she'd planted a small seed of doubt and the professors would investigate things further behind closed doors.

Secretly, in her inmost heart, Violet agreed with Ashley and thought they should just blast the entire infestation with a good fire spell. But Violet also had a bad feeling that her tendency to jump immediately to fire might be influenced by her experience in possession a while back, so she tried not to jump to conclusions with such things. But she thought Bella had brought up a number of good points.

"Bella has a good idea about experimenting with them. Maybe we should try a variety of things--fire, water, stunning, potions, maybe freezing? lots of sunlight, lack of sunlight--try them on just small sample of vines and test what happens. Before we go trying something on the whole infestation and maybe make it worse."

Valentina listened to her classmates offer their answers - Atlas sounding overly excited and the enthusiastic pointing only made her want to laugh. She didn't have anything new to say so she simply stayed quiet, humming a tune under her breath. Besides, she felt pretty sure that the professor already knew what it was - and they were going to find out soon anyway. SO.

"I was also thinking about whether we could use a potion or some chemical to put an end to them," Cece admitted quietly, glancing up at Professor Flamsteed. She'd been quiet up until now, but the seventh year did have some experience in this area. Ending things. Having things end. You could also end things by saying the wrong thing. Or feel ended by a broken heart. She imagined the vine didn't have one of those. Maybe it was lucky.

Ending things was easy, really. Far too easy for her liking.

follow me; everything is all right.

Just out of the corner of your eye, they move so quickly, so swiftly.. you nearly miss it. The vines weren’t so eager, so restless before....

Curious, so very curious...

What was that?

And then - was that a scream you hear not so far away???

WHO WAS THAT?

Violet hurled around at the sound of a scream and out of her peripheral vision noticed that the vines seemed to be...moving, even more than before. "Listen!!" she shouted. "These things have gotten someone! We need to stop standing around discussing it and do something about them, NOW!"

Was everyone going to think she was a crank again? So be it, she didn't care anymore, not if it would motivate them to some kind of action. As for her, if a single one of those vines so much as touched her, she was so keyed up that she was likely to set the whole bunch on fire without even thinking about it.

Um… what was that?

Claudine turned her face pretty quickly but still saw nothing out of the ordinary. She was sure that she saw something move. Hmmm.... Her head then jerked, her hand automatically making a dash for her wand. Clearly she hadn’t imagined that for there was Violet shouting.

But unlike her excited Housemate, the seventh year remained calm and alert, her eyes darting around. Were there any threats close by? But Violet was right: they needed to act now, and this is where Flamsteed needed to focus because if they didn’t form a plan of some kind, everyone would go rushing off. That would lead to absolute chaos.

Everything was normal.. until she heard a scream. She hadn't noticed anything out of the corner of her eyes- she wasn't the most attentive. But, WHO was that?? What happened? Did someone get hurt? Or was it part of an activity? But, she really doubted it because it had sounded very real and serious. Now, what? The professor had to do something about it, right?? She felt a little scared. Okay, a LOT scared.

Default O_____O Professor down!!!
Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll

SPOILER!!: putting Heath here to avoid confusion!
After hearing Professor Flamsteed’s words to Violet and Ash, Heath was glad he’d ended his sentence there and changed the subject before he, too, got a reprimand. His eyes darted from Professor Flamsteed to the vines as he considered the next question. The first thing that came to mind was setting the vines on fire, but Ash said that pretty early on. As he racked his brains for something else to add, Kinsay’s answer gave him an idea.

These vines had to have a weakness somewhere. If they could find that weak spot and hit it with everything they had, maybe it would take the entire plant down… just like the Death Star. Before he could raise his hand to volunteer that information (minus the Star Wars reference, of course), a loud noise caused his dark head to whip around. Was that… a scream? His heart raced, though no panic showed on his face. If that was the vines attacking someone, any of them could be the next target. If it was anything else - which he doubted, but you never knew with this school - it could be headed this way! Either way, Violet was right; they had to act!

Drawing his wand, he looked to Professor Flamsteed with a sympathetic, yet resolute expression. “What’s the plan, Professor?” he asked.


In another part of the courtyard not far away from the ongoing herbology lesson, Norman was in trouble. The transfiguration professor, having some time to spare, wandered into the courtyard with the intent to take a quick stroll about the grounds before his next class. Unfortunately, the vines had other plans. He hadn’t gotten far when a vine wrapped itself around one leg, then the other.

He instinctively reached for his wand, but another vine wound around his wrist before he could touch it. Fine then. If he couldn’t sever these infernal vines magically, he’d do it manually! He struggled and yanked, trying to wrench his arm out of the vines’ clutches long enough to draw his wand, but it was useless. The more he fought, the more stuck he became.

“LET ME GO, YOU OVERGROWN WEED!!!” came the scream, a scream of rage and frustration, not fear.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Yeah…

No.

Hanging around and waiting for instructions definitely was not a good idea when someone was in dire need of help. “Isn’t that Professor Carton’s voice?” Claudine asked no one in particular, her heart beginning to thump. Naturally she didn’t hang around for an answer. Already the seventh year was racing towards the direction of the voice which happened to be another part of the Courtyard.

Claudine didn’t have the time to even bother pausing in shock at the sight before her. Confident that at least some of her classmates were behind her and ready to help, she aimed her wand at the bit of vine wrapped around Carton’s leg. “Diffindo. Diffindo.”

Goodness, if only they had come up with that solution in that lesson before all this excitement happened.

As more students became alert to the cries, Violet suddenly saw her housemate Claudine run off in the direction of the voice, which did indeed sound like Professor Carton's. Typical--the seventh year was always telling everyone to stay calm and come up with a plan, but then was the first one to go running off alone. But it was good that someone was responding, because it certainly did sound like Carton (or whoever it was) was in trouble. Violet broke into a run and followed behind Claudine in case she needed backup (and also because she wanted to see what was going on--she was quite convinced it would turn out to have something to do with vines).

When she got to the scene of the situation, she found Professor Carton entangled in vines and Claudine casting the severing charm at them. Violet raised her wand, but paused a minute to look around at the vines and see how they were responding to this. No use all of them getting tangled up at once.

Wild and in mood for fun, the vines grabbed Professor Carton from here and then there. An ankle, an arm and round the waist they were about to go when a spell (Blaze) severed it’s winding reach.

They were all coming out to play?

Reaching over to grab another girl (Blackthorne) by the leg, it pulled her up and UP IN THE AIR, while another one tried to knock the wand away from the spell casting girl (Blaze).

*sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!

Look at their brains working so perfectly. June was as impressed as ever, and maybe a little hopeful? Even if -- a lot of the ideas revolved around annihilation. Not that she couldn't really blame them. It seemed like the easiest way to go.

Although she nodded along with everyone while considering each response, she was quick to point out the con of it all, since that is why this was more of a discussion and no idea was wrong. "...setting the plants on fire might not be that easy, considering how quickly the fire will spread and may catch on to other things"

"Similarly while I think getting to the root of these vines is clearly a way that might work for us, these vines are way too entangled and spread out to make it easy for us, you know? And we planted them at numerous places - the greenhouses mostly, and there is a growing unsafe fog around it - unless we know more about it - I don't think we can risk going in there"

This was the loop, wasn't it? And WHY this entire ordeal was so frustrating.

Before she could speak some more though, June's head turned immediately at the sudden sound of a scream.

...

Following the students, the brunette watched in absolute dread as the vines got Carton. "Oh dear, Norman!" Eyes wide, the woman reached for her wand and very much like miss Blaze cast the severing around the tightening, relentless vines around him.

"Be careful everyone!"



OOC: Let's fight off these vines!!

Bella was scribbling on her notes when she was shocked still by the scream that came from somewhere close by. Was someone hurt? Sitting still her eyes darted around anxiously just like her peers, reaching to pull out her wand when Violet shouted that they needed to act. Bella was waiting for instructions from Professor June when they heard a voice again, seeming to be in peril. When Claudine identified it as Professor Carton's Bella knew that they had little time to waste. With her wand in hand she sprinted after Violet and Claudine dissappearing figures to the other side of the courtyard.

When she came upon the scene Bella was momentarily paralyzed by the sight of violet hanging in the air by vines, Claudine was getting attacked by her own vines and Professor Carton was still struggling too. Blinking she aimed her wand at the vines that held Violet in the air and then at the ones reaching for Claudine's wand casting in quick succession. "Diffindo! Diffindo! Let go of my housemates, you awful vines!"

While most people seemed to hear the scream and want to move in the direction it had come from, Atlas had the complete opposite and wanted to book it as far as he could in the opposite direction. The professor, assuming Claudine's identification was correct, was a grown man and surely could handle whatever it was on his own...right? Besides, his inexperienced wand and nerves were not the best combination for accuracy in stressful situations. Not unless there was a large surface area and he just needed to blow something up.

See the wall in the space office during the showdown with the Neo-Alliance for reference.

He also wanted to yell at everyone for using a Severing Charm because...had that not already been established as something that DID NOT WORK?! Hydra! Remember?! Chop a vine and three more come back! Headmaster's own words!

So...uh...well...while everyone seemed to vacate the area to follow the screaming...Atlas ducked around elsewhere to stay out of the fray. Professor Carton could thank him later for not accidentally blowing him up.

Well, it was certainly good they had chosen this moment to have the conversation about how to properly deal with the vines - given the fact apparently the greenery was forcing their hand into action. Evan still didn't think they were ready, based on the fact they did not know much about the fog surrounding the greenhouses which had to have been correlated - which Professor Flamsteed also pointed out - but given the fact Professor Carton was yelling...

Well, fogs would just have to be avoided for now. And considering they still didn't know what spells to use, diffindo seemed the best for a pinch since it could at least help with immediate danger and getting the Professor (and now students) away from the vines.

Not one able to be inactive not again he followed along after his peers to fight off the vines, noticing Claudine and Violet both protecting Carton and then Violet protecting them when the vines reached out. He still found himself calling out, "Claudine, watch out!" Just in case she was so focused she did not notice the vines reaching or Bella was only able to get to one. From there, he considered trying diffindo but... well, it also seemed like there was no time like the present to try anything else they could think of. Would the shrinking charm help? Only one way to find out. Pointing his wand at a cluster, he shouted, "Reducio!"

He could only hope that would do something before he needed to book it further away from the vines himself.

Her spell hit. Great. But if they wanted to win then they needed to more than just fight the vines; they needed to destroy them. And it was hard for Claudine to think of a way to do this when Violet was being grabbed. “Relashio. Immobulus.” Those were aimed at the vine holding her Housemate.

Then one was trying to dis-wand her. She heard Evan’s warning too. “Diffindo.’’ Claudine also dodged just in case the Severing Charm did not hit its mark. She wished she could use fire, for some reason that idea kept resonating with her. But in this fray, that wouldn’t be a good idea.

Ugh.

Frustrating.

That SCREAM?

Hearing something like that at Hogwarts after the war just hit different and Cece's eyes went big and wide with fear, her head whipping around to face the direction it came from. Honestly? Her first instinct was to run in the opposite direction because she was pretty sure her brain couldn't handle whatever she might see on top of all the other things it was trying to process lately. Still, somehow her feet managed to move and she found herself following the crowd.

Looking from the vines to Professor Flamsteed, the blonde raised her own wand and tried to find her target. The problem was that these things seemed to be indestructible, so anything they cast was just going to call attention to themselves, right?

Instead of a severing charm, Cece tried to stun the vine nearest to her, remembering someone had suggested that earlier.

Violet found it curious that she felt so clear headed while hanging upside down in the air. Diffindo was definitely not fast enough to get all the vines at once, and setting them on fire was definitely not a good idea--she didn't need to hear Professor Flamsteed warn them about fire spreading, she'd seen enough of that in the forest a few years ago and didn't want to see an out of control fire again. Particularly not on vegetation which she was in the middle of.

I wonder if freezing would do any good against them, she wondered to herself. She'd had some good practice with that spell lately, so, wondering in the back of her head if she could cast a spell upside down, she pointed her wand, which she still was gripping tightly, at the vines around her and shouted, "GLACIUS!" The thought came to her too late that if it did work, she would probably wind up landing on her head.

SUMMER FOREVER

O_____O

Valentina watched in horror when she watched a vine grab hold of a classmate and dangle her up in the air. WHAT!! She noticed people casting severing charms, suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed. She paused for a few moments, taking in what was happening around her before taking a few steps forward and casted a diffindo at a vine close by. She was going to help out in whatever way she could.

follow me; everything is all right.

The vines were nothing if not tenacious, and unwilling to give up their prizes so easily. But, though their regenerative powers were all but unparalleled, the vines were still vulnerable to any destructive magic which kept them at bay. For a short while.

The severed tendrils retreated from the professor, effectively loosening their grip on him, even as others snaked out towards their new targets. But now the poor defenceless vines were being so callously attacked from all angles.

Severing charms (Connolly) made sporadic contact, maiming and lopping off pieces of vine which had joined the taunting of the Slytherins. The vine holding the girl (Blackthorne) ducked and dodged around spells, until at last her own freezing spell in tandem with her classmate's (Blaze) freezing charm hit one after the other... and the vine went still.

A spell (Nam) hit a cluster of vines en masse, shrinking the lot into tiny, and yet no less persistent assailants. Lacking reach, they stretched in vain to gather purchase of an arm or leg. Meanwhile, a stunning spell from an older student (Summers) caused a vine reaching for Professor Flamsteed to suddenly droop lifelessly, before it retreated as though someone were reeling it back in.

The hiding boy (Flamsteed) was moments from being wrapped up in a vine suit of his own, but yet another severing charm (Nichols) which thwarted a vine elsewhere in the courtyard was evidently the last straw. Perhaps sensing that this was a fight they would not win just yet, the vines apparently opted for a tactical retreat, laying down the girl (Blackthorne) in their grasp before growing calm and mostly still.

But they would not behave for long.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine always knew that the Freezing Charm was her strongest. Still, seeing the vine froze with her and Violet’s spell left her slightly surprised. Perhaps it was because everything that they had tried so far had failed. A balloon of hope inflated within her chest.

With the onslaught of spells being thrown, what the seventh year was not surprised to see was the vines retreating. Clearly the vines could handle no more. She hurried over to her friend.Violet, are you hurt?” Then she was looking randomly at the faces about her. “Those vines might not be away for long. We should get out of here if we have no idea how to stop them for good.” Because Claudine didn’t fancy dying today, thanks.
