| | |  Herbology/Care of Magical Creatures :: Lesson One
It is a beautiful day, the sun is shining brightly and a cool, fall breeze is lightly stirring through the first of the fallen leaves. All in all, it appears to be the perfect day for an outdoor lesson. As you make your way down the sloping lawn toward today's class, you see several wooden benches lined up in front of a large shade tree. Standing under the tree, Professors Morgan and Bunbury wait patiently for their students arrival. Take a seat and get comfortable. Class will begin shortly. | |

Tibi wandered back, seeing that others had finished, and sat down to figure out what he actually had.
He'd missed that abraxan hair - the brush had been picked clean - but had gotten the feathers from an abraxan and from an augurey. He had cherry, pine, maple, holly and... er, what was that other one. Tibi flipped through the book. He thought it was birch, but he just wasn't sure. He hadn't managed to convince the Whomping Willow to give up a leaf, and he hadn't dared go anywhere near the forest.
Stupid fear. He'd seen others coming out with lots of stuff. That's probably where everything else had been. Tibi scuffed his shoes in the dirt, annoyed that he hadn't done better, all because he was too scared to.
Bah.

"I think I know all the leaves. Definitely know more than half." He pointed to several similar looking leaves.

"I think I know all the leaves. Definitely know more than half." He pointed to several similar looking leaves. "Like the demiguise." Cel agreed and shoulder bumped Copernicus.
Celandine pointed at one of the leaves and then at the corresponding tree type on the list, then she tapped her nose.
"They smell different."

"Didn't even think to smell them," Copernicus picked up a few leaves and gave them a sniff. They smelled... different? Shouldn't they, though? What good did it do to him if he didn't know what they SHOULD smell like?

Iliana watched the scene with great interest. It was actually quite entertaining to see Jake harassing someone OTHER than her for change. What she needed now was POPCORN. Oh how she wanted to giggle! But of course that wouldn't be professional at all. Instead she gave Bunbury a concerned/I'm so sorry look and shook her head at Jake disappointingly. Poor Annie.
Professor Morgan caught Jake's wink and bit her lip to keep from laughing. Then she picked up Neo!Niffler's wittle paw and gave Jake a wittle wave. (When Bunbury wasn't looking, of course) She was sure HE appreciated Jake's little stunt even if she didn't. "No need, Professor," Jake smiled at the woman. "I'm all finished, found what I could and all that," he added, checking each different pocket, because they each held a seperate item.
And then, and this was bizarre, Professor Morgan first shook her head at him, all parent-like (psssshhhh, she wasn't his mother *brat*) and THEN she seemed like she was trying not to laugh, getting the niffler to wave at him.
Jake giggled again and sat up at the front of the class, waiting patiently.
Yes.
Jake.
Patient.
...
... I know.

Shooting a dirty glance at Iliana, who was NO HELP WHATSOEVER NO HELP AT ALL, Bunbury ignored the students trying to bother her and continued on with her pathetic hair-de...yuck-ifying.
It was a fail.
Grumbling inappropriate words and phrases under her breath, Anastasia summoned a giant hat from her office, jammed it on her head, and then marched back to her bench to pout wait for the rest of the scavengers to return.
"You should have all managed to collect a few measly samples by now," she barked out loudly. "Five minutes left."

Sara asked, heart broken at missing out on one of the 4 feathers in the Sanctuary...

"You should have all managed to collect a few measly samples by now," she barked out loudly. "Five minutes left." Smirking as he saw Bunbutt's hat, Jake tried hard not to burst into gales of laughter. Allowing himself a giggle, Jake said, "Professor, your hat is dead funny. Would you rather borrow mine?" he asked, whipping his hat from his head and approaching Bunbutt, about ready to switch the hats over (but not), his own hair now terribly mussed up... and apparently WET. "I only just put it on, so I don't think it's all that sweaty," he added, giving it a good sniff. Jake grinned and held the hat right in front of Bunbury's face.

Evelyn watched, amused, as a boy began to advance towards Professor Bunbury with his hat and holding it right in front of her face. 'Ooo she isn't going to like that.' Smiling, Evelyn waited eagerly for the outcome, looking down at her bag every now and then to make sure all her scavenger hunt items were still there. | |

Mina caught sight of one of the leaves on the ground. Kneeling down to grab one she smiled. "Oh thank you Maple tree for this," she smiled before running back off to the forest to see what else she could find.

While she was on the floor resting a few seconds she saw leaves falling on professor's head. Finally the leafs fell to the ground and Ana ran to catch one. Now she has 12 and one that she lost so that means that she has to find 5 more items. Ana left the "class" to keep looking.

Lyddia was just about to walk away and look for the things on her list when she saw the redheaded professor freak out over a boy trying to flatten her hair. There were many leaves in the professors hair which Lyddia saw fall from the tree she was sitting under. Hmm. Maybe that was on her list. She looked at some of the leaves that had fallen on the ground beneath the teacher, even though she had already ran away. Lyddia picked one up and inspected it. Then she put the leave in her pocket and walked away to find more things.

Looking around, it seemed like most of the students had finally returned with their items. Standing from her comfy chair, Professor Morgan cleared her throat and said, "Alright class, time's up. Please return to your seats for the homework. You have all done exceptionally well." With a quick swish of her wand, Iliana conjured a small, ordinary blackboard beside her.
"For your homework, Professor Bunbury and I have decided to give you two options. Please chose only one," she explained. "They are posted on the board." And with another small swish... they appeared. Quote: Homework: CHOOSE ONE and 'send' it to both Professors Bunbury (BanaBatGirl) and Morgan (Liisa).
Option 1: Take all that you have learned about wand cores and woods and use that information to write a detailed essay about how YOUR wand relates to you. Why you believe that particular wand core/wood combination "chose" you and what you think that says about your personality. Also, how do you think your wand will help you to achieve your goals now and in the future.
Option 2: Using the "ingredients" you gathered during the scavenger hunt, create your own wand and describe the properties it would have and how the Celtic calender could factor into who would be chosen by this wand."
Due: October 18th
(by midnight GMT)
Worth: 20 points

"First of all, it is not MY phoenix," Bunbury grumbled at the girl, holding up one finger and then raising another. "And second, the scavenger hunt is OVER. OVERRRRR. If you don't have all the items you need then OH WELL."
Yeah somebody was being just a little rude.

Because of BRATTY CHILDREN like Jacob Upstead.
"NO NO NO AND NO," Bunbury shouted, getting louder with each word. "NO. I do NOT want your hat because I do NOT give a hippogriff's hindquarters IF MY HAT IS FUNNY."
She whipped out her wand and blasted the sweaty hat right out of Jake's hand and into a million little fabric shards. "You're done, boy, DONE. Go to the greenhouses. NOW." She would be MARCHING RIGHT BEHIND HIM all the way.

"If you participated in class and collected all the items - or however many you collected - you may identify them and describe where you found them. Include that with your homework for points. And class is dismissed."
Whirling back to Upstead, Bunbury pointed with her wand to the greenhouses and waited for him to get a move on. OOC: Those of you who participated in the scavenging and actually went out and followed (any or all!) the Narrator's posts will receive points IF you PM both Liisa and BanaBatGirl with links to your 'collecting' correctly labeled by item on the list. What I mean is: go to where you found the maple leaf, yew, snidget feathers, etc, click on the post number in the upper right corner of the post, and then PM that link to us named by whatever item you found. It sounds more complicated than it is, but I've made a link example here to this post so yeah. It will be worth it if you identify and link them all correctly.

BLASTED HIS HAT! "Hey!" Jake yelled out, jumping back in surprise. "You better pay for that! That's my only one..."
Like that, anyway.
Glowering at Bunbury properly now (she'd DAMAGED his personal PROPERTY) Jake scowled and folded his chest. "Fine," he muttered sullenly. "Later Professor Morgan," Jake said to the other teacher, before turrrrrrrrrrrrning and heading off for the Greenhouses.

Carter walked back in to class and wrote down the assignment. It seems that he and Mina were having so much fun they lost track of time and missed the end of the lesson. "Oh well, he thought." He smiled and waited for Mina to finish so that they could go get some ice cream together.

You just had to love his speed. "I knew there was a reason I left that window open," she said, kissing his tiny head. Then she reached up and pulled a stray feather from her hair. "There you go, Celandine," she said, handing it over. "And if I know Vincent, there'll be plenty more where that came from." She laughed and gave her a wink. She could already see little specks of yellow around the front row of benches. Ana was back from the scavenger hunt with 1 possible item left, she was about to say that she finished when she saw professor Iliana with a snidget on her shoulder and feathers from the bird. She walk to the professor and the feathers. Ana grabbed one feather, put it on her bag and then smiled to the professor and the bird "Thanks!".
