Evelyn turned to face Kay, who she'd seen around but had never spoken to. "Sure," she said with a nod, "I'm Evelyn Rochester, and this is my friend Ginny Weasley."

"Hi, Evelyn, Ginny. Thanks for letting me work with you." Kay said smiling at the two of them. "So, what would you like me to do?" She asked putting her things down and pushed up her sleeves.

Bunz took a step to the side of the front of the room and carelessly flicked her wand at the girls. Now that they were rather drenched, they would have to "sink or swim" and learn this spell quickly.

"The incantation is 'siccus aerous' - that's siiiigh-cus-air-rous. The wand motion is two little twirls with your wand in a circular motion followed by a long, drawn-out wand motion up and down the length of whatever you're drying out. For example, if I were to dry out my hair," not that Bunz would ever get her hair wet right now, "I would say 'siccus aerous' and then move my wand like this."

And thus she demonstrated up and down the length of her head as a steady stream of light, warm air whooshed out.

"You'll do this to your baby tea leaves, once our student leaders demonstrate properly, and you'll go slow so the leaves do not blow around every which way. Understand?"

They had to demonstrate the spell on each other? That was it? Pfft, that would be simple! She mastered spells rather quickly, so it would be easy enough. Though, glancing at Destiny, she gave her friend a 'No funny business' look...

But that definitely wasn't the worst part. It was the 'Now I'm soaked to the skin...again.' part that got to her. Standing quite still with a shocked face, she lifted her arms slightly, not really knowing what to do. This wasn't happening. This didn't just happen. But it did. She could hear the dripping water from her hair and clothes hitting the ground as she moved her arms in shock and confusion.

Wait...

HER WAND! ACK! Quickly fiddling with her robes before finally taking out her wand from her left sleeve, she stared at it in horror. It seemed like had gotten in the way of the spell as well and was now wet. Great...It better still work!! OR ELSE!! Watching the professor demonstrate the spell (perfectly she might add, so it was NOT necessary to have THEM demonstrate it!) with a murderous glare, she turned back to Destiny, a small smirk on her face.

Lifting her wand up, she pointed it at Destiny, well more towards her face, and said the spell with the circular little twirls. "Siccus Aerous." And, kept it there. It wasn't a ton of warm air like Bunz had demonstrated, but it was good enough! Ugh, you know what? Forget the prank that Marie pulled on them! If Destiny hadn't told Marie to see if the plant would bite her like she SAID she shouldn't, than they probably wouldn't be in this mess! Evelyn was going to make sure her friend's head was niiiiice and dry!

Torin turned his attention back to Bunbury as she started to speak again and made a mental note of both the incantation and the wand movement that went along with it. Seemed simple enough. He took his wand out and put it on the desk, ready to use it when the time was right.

"I'll be right back with a plant," she said, addressing her groupmates, and headed for what might have been one of the last few left.

Oh! Eyes widening with recognition, Wesley grinned. It was that one scary boy she'd sat next to on the train!

"Sure!" she greeted him brightly, admiring his hair and wishing hers was like it, instead of stringy from the heat and moisture.

The leaves looked delicate and pretty, and she could see that the ones they were supposed to pick were the tiniest and most delicate of them all. She did feel bad for having to tear at the leaves, but she knew that when the buds got plucked off, the plant would grow itself about twice that number to replace them with, soon enough.

She set the plant on the desk that they would be working at, and said, "O-ok, who goes first? Does anyone remember exactly what the professor said? I seem to recall delicate buds and the like,"

Kel smiled quickly at the girl that introduced herself and then went to get the plant. The other girl in his group seemed to be the quiet type. He was okay with that, though, because honestly he wasn't in a very talkative mood; classes did that to him.

He was actually really grateful when Aschere got back with the plant, because it gave him something to do. He looked from one girl to the other, and they didn't seem like they wanted to start. "Erm, I'll go first?" although it was incredibly rude for him to volunteer to go first when he was with two girls and he shoulda let them go first. But they didn't seem too eager, so whatever.

After another hesitant look at both of the girls, Kel spotted a leaf that looked like the kind they were supposed to take off. He pulled up his sleeves as he eyed the plant, then decided he had stalled long enough. He put his fingers carefully around the leaf, then plucked it. Tada.

Just then Bunbury started speaking. Kel turned around to listen to her, his eyebrow scrunching together as he watched the professor do the wand movement. It looked complicated. When Bunbury was done, Kel turned back to his group's plant, repeating the incantation a few times to make sure he had it down.

Still smiling, Destiny waited for the hug that never came. Blinking rapidly a few times, she looked down at herself. She was soaked! What was Bunbury saying? Oh, right. She couldn't hear because there was water in her ears! Tilting her head right and left, the water flowed out and she was able to catch the last bit of the Professors speech thing. Destiny didn't like being all wet, it was rather cold in the greenhouse, and the water made it worse. Bunz hated her too.

Shivering now, Destiny pulled out her wand and practiced the very snazzy wand movement. It seemed easy enough, and Evelyn was sure going to get a face full of hot air now.

Why was Evelyn smirking? She looked creepy when she did that. Destiny smirked back at her friend, but the smirk turned into a look of shock when Evelyn had already pointed her wand, right in her face. 'Gahhh!' Destiny scrunched up her face since she did not like the feeling of hot air on it. It burnnnnned! Not really, but Destiny likes to exaggerate. Evelyn cheated anyway, for Destiny was not ready. That was wrong.

Was she dry yet? No. Only her face was. Didn't Bunbury demonstrate moving your wand up and down so their whole body could dry? Yes she did, and Evelyn had only pointed it at her face. No wonder Destiny was still shivering.

Lowering Evelyn's hand out of her face, Destiny smirked again. It was easier to smirk since no hot air was blowing. She pointed her wand at Evelyn's hair and did the snazzy wand movements, 'Siccus aerous!'

Evelyn was going to have nice, frizzy hair, that's for sure.

Aschere looked over her shoulder to watch the demonstration of the spell they'd be using to dry their tea leaves. "Siiiiigh-cus-aerous" she muttered. Wand needs to twirl, she thought, twirling her finger in practice. She turned back to the shrub, and seeing that the boy had started, she began working on her end of the plant, carefully plucking away the tender leaf buds. She wondered how they'd be able to dry the leaves quickly enough to make tea in the one class, but then - they were using magic to do it.

Yes, she enjoyed the fact that Destiny was not liking the hot air being blown in her face. It was her fault anyways! And she was still going to win this bet!

Just about to turn around towards Bunz, she was stopped when Destiny pushed her hand away, surprising Evelyn to the point where she dropped her wand. Her wand!! On the dirty floor! NOO! But she couldn't do anything about that when there was suddenly a wave of hot air in her own face...

"Destiny!" she called out trying to cover her face and stepping backwards. Wow, the air was really...really hot on her skin. It felt as if it was burning. Was it supposed to do that? Or maybe since her skin was so cold, it just felt like it was burning. She needed to get her wand. And quick!

Dropping to all fours so she could actually see, she spotted her wand and crawled over to it, dodging any of the hot air Destiny was blowing at her. "Gotcha." she mumbled happily, staring at her dark ash wand in her hand. Good good. It wasn't that dirty. Poor thing. Being on the cold hard diseased ground. Standing up, she turned and glared at Destiny, raising her wand to point at her face again. "Siccus aerous!"

HA! Take THAT!!

When she felt she had gotten all of them she had a a pretty good sized pile which she suspected they would use to make tea. FUN

Gold gave Herminny a thumbs-up. "Good job," she said, with a cheerful nod at her housemate's work. She plucked out one or two more leaves, and added them to the heap. Which meant, of course, that they had a nice enough pile, now.

Gold raised an eyebrow. The more time she spent near Professor Bunbury, the less she liked her. Not to mention, she really didn't think it was right for a professor to drench a student, like that. What if you were a little sick, or had a chest pain or something?

But she knew she couldn't just walk out of this lesson, either. She was here for a reason, and that was to learn. Not to mention, she needed good herbology grades, to become a healer.

She stood up straighter, and waited for the two Slytherins to 'demonstrate.' Which they weren't actually bad at. Take that, evil Bunz woman! You SO take that!

When he could take his eyes off the Slytherin girls standing beside the Pinky Red Professor, he looked down at the dark green tea leaves and it was when a respond for his calling of someone to work with came. He looked at the girl who called him a 'meestah', oh she was a house-mate, and grinned widely ''Yeah, sure. Candy, what a sweet name!'' he laughed ''And i am Joshua''

"Thank YOUU!" Candy said, all brightly. "My mum said I was always a hyper baby so she named me THAT." Candy thought her name wuz all WONDERFUL!

But now to get the plant and stuff. Candy skipped off, got a tea plant and showed it to Joshua. Waittttttttttttt........ did he alreadehhh have a tea plant?!! "I'll call you JOSH," she told him, as she worked to pluck little leaves off. OOOH! Such TINY leaves!

This was SUCH FUN!

Mrs. Weasley 02-13-2010 05:40 AM

Sidney picks a couple more buds before Bunbury starts lecturing again. She then starts taking notes at a feverish pace again. Siccus Aerous.... siiiigh-cus-air... sounds easy enough to say. Sidney looks down at her notes. The incantation may be simple, but the wand movement is something else. Sidney picks up her wand and tries to immitate the wand movement. Two little twirls with your wand. Sidney points her wand at the desk and twirls it two times. "Ooops!" She drops her wand and grabs the tea plant she has just knocked over. Definitely harder than it looks. Now after that I do a long, drawn-out wand motion up and down the the length of the tea buds. That shouldn't be too difficult. The tea buds aren't very long. I wonder is I have to do this to each individual leaf bud. Sidney does the wand movement from beginning to end two more times before putting the incantation and wand movents together. She takes out a couple of tea buds to practice on. Professor Bunbury said to go slow with the leaves. She doesn't want them blowing off the table. Got it. Sidney points her wand at the three buds from her pile. She says, "Siccus Aerous!" Sidney continues with the wand movement until the buds start to change color and texture.

HA! Take THAT!!

Destiny almost laughed evilly as Evelyn dropped her wand. She had to contain herself, for it wasn't even funny. Actually, it was quite sad to see the dark wand roll all over the place. Poor wood. What was even sadder though, was the fact that Evelyn kept dodging her hot air! 'Stay still!' Gahhh, she was fast! 'I only want to dryyyyy youuuuu!' No she didn't. She wanted to frizz her hair!

Ehhhh! The face again! This time the air was even hotter than last, and Destiny had to close her eyes. The hot air was seeping in through her glasses, and it really did burn her eyes. She tried to block the air with her hand but it didn't work out too good. It did give her a chance to open her eyes and take notice of how foggy her glasses were. She could still see where Evelyn's hair started, so once again she pointed her wand there, 'SICCUS AEROUS!'

Frizz my pretty, frizzzzz! Muhaha!

Smirking at how Destiny's glasses seemed to be fogging up, but it was cut short when another blast of hot air came unexpectedly in her face. JEEZ it was hot! Seriously! Was that air supposed to burn you!? Probably not since the demonstration Bunz did, she didn't look like she was in pain.

"Aaaarrrgh!" Burning her skin! ACK! And she could really feel her hair being dried. That...wasn't good. It was drying too fast! It was going to frizz! Evelyn Flores, does NOT have frizzy hair! But if she was, than Destiny was going down with her!

"Siccus aerous!!" she said, still pointing her wand at Destiny's face, though she turned her own so she didn't have a swarm of hot air melting her eyes.

Surrender!! To the mighty power of hot air!!

Making tea. Haha..she knows how to make tea, right? Vida beamed inwardly. But now all you need is grouping. Guh.

She had Cedric and needed one more person minimum. She looked around the classroom for giving a chance to anyone to taste her tea in just few minutes.

Cedric wondered why Vida's grim tightened a little bit than usual but he acted like he didn't noticed and just watched their professor as she demonstrates the wand movement and incantation of the spell they were gonna be using to dry the leaves they had plucked. Now, all they needed to do was to watch the picked students to do the spell and show how it was being done. He then turned to Vida with a broad smile and then muttered, "Ready? I think that spell's gonna be easy."

I'll wait now :D

This time, Destiny did laugh evilly. Some like it hot, and Evelyn was obviously not one of them. Her glasses were still fogging up and it was no help. She lifted them off her face, and sat them on top of her head. Now she could see! but now her eyes would surely burn faster. Oh well, she was going to be a Healer, and she might be able to replace her retina's.

Was it hot in here or what!? It felt like her face was just about to melt away and she knew no one that could replace a face. She liked the face she had now, and did not want a new one. So Evelyn didn't like her hair to frizz huh? Now what was she going to do?

Oh..she knew something now. Smirking, Destiny lowered her wand to the floor, 'Hey Evelyn. Are your shoes made of rubber?' Before she had a chance to answer, Destiny did the snazzy wand movement and pointed it right at her shoes, 'SICCUS AEROUS!'

Her shoes were melting, meltingggggg!!!!
Muhahahahaha!

Vida's eyes widened when the crazy professor did something odd, drenched the girls. She is weird. Vida shook her head, and looked back at Cedric. Now her focuss was on both the leaves that they had picked, before settled on him. "Yes, ofcourse. Who's first?" she asked, smiling as twirling her wand in between her fingers playfully.

Cela twirled her wand idly between her fingers and made a mental note to oil it some more tonight. She took a lot of care of her wand and pretty much treated it like it was a part of her. It kind of was when she was doing music.

She was about to comment on that to Arya when Professor Bunbury spoke.

Bunz took a step to the side of the front of the room and carelessly flicked her wand at the girls. Now that they were rather drenched, they would have to "sink or swim" and learn this spell quickly.

"The incantation is 'siccus aerous' - that's siiiigh-cus-air-rous. The wand motion is two little twirls with your wand in a circular motion followed by a long, drawn-out wand motion up and down the length of whatever you're drying out. For example, if I were to dry out my hair," not that Bunz would ever get her hair wet right now, "I would say 'siccus aerous' and then move my wand like this."

And thus she demonstrated up and down the length of her head as a steady stream of light, warm air whooshed out.

"You'll do this to your baby tea leaves, once our student leaders demonstrate properly, and you'll go slow so the leaves do not blow around every which way. Understand?"

Cela blinked as she watched Professor Bunbury drench a couple of Slytherins, but as the professor explained the wand movement to those who didn't know it she echoed her words with the actions. two twirls, long swoop.

After Evelyn and Destiny demonstrated, Cela'd help out her little group mates getting it right. For now though, she just repeated the wand movement over and over without saying the incantation or thinking it. She eyed Arya, Allison and Ivory, waiting for them to practice it too.

Arya watched the professor demonstrate the wand motions to the new spell they were supose to learn. While she did so, Arya kept repeating the incantation, atempting to pronounce it correctly. "sighhhh-ccus-air-roussses...siiiigh-crus-aiiiir-rous...siiiigh-cuees-aaair-rous..." Seriously, why couldn't she choose a easier spell. All the other classes were easy, and one worded. But nooooo, she had to choose a spell with two words.


Giving up on saying the incantation Arya atempted the wand movements which also proved to be imposible. Because she was concentrating on saying the spell she didn't pay attention when the professor showed them the wand movements.

Taking a deep defeated sigh, Arya stoped atempting anything that had to do with the spell. She turned to the older 'claw knowing she could help her. "Cela, can you help me with the spell?

"Of course." Celandine agreed in a matter-of-fact tone. She twirled her wand obligingly and then moved it along the length of her arm as if her arm was the thing that needed drying.

"If you change your grip on your wand just a little, it makes the twirling motion more natural and easier to control." Cela added helpfully, pointing out the difference in the placement of her fingers compared to Arya's, along with the pressure of her grip. "And bend your arm just a little more." Cela demonstrated slowly, watching Arya intently.

Now that the two 'student leaders' had done their job, Gold picked up her own wand, and gave it a little wave. She was warming up to perform the spell, hehe.

"Siigh-cus-air-rous," she said out loud. Then she practiced the wand movement a bit, two little twirls followed by a long, drawn-out motion up and down an imaginary bit of something. "Siigh-cus-air-rous." There. She was sure she had the hang of the thing, now.

"Let's get to work, guys?" she asked, looking round at her little group. That said, she very gently picked up a baby tea leaf, placed it to one side, pointed her wand at it, and then twirled it twice.

Her wand, not the baby leaf.

"Siccus aerous," she said clearly, as she executed the precise wand movement. A steady stream of warm air whooshed out of the tip of her wand, blowing the leaf a little and, slowly but firmly, Gold directed her wand up and down the length of the little thing.

Now, that hadn't been too hard!

Hehe.

She started pulling them off and before she knew it she had several of them laying in front of her. The original one she pulled off the plant was off to the side. Maybe she would save that one and give to Destiny, sort of a souvinier of the prank she pulled on her.

Now to wait...again...on the professor. It sure did seem like this class was moving slow today. Then again maybe it was just becuase she was sitll wondering what Bunz was going to say or do to Destiny and Evelyn. Not wanting to think about it anymore she turned her attention back to Evan. "Do you know how to do the drying spell?" If he did maybe he would show her and she could practice it while she waited.....without her wand of course, wouldn't want to accidently blow something up if she used the wrong wand movements.

Oh, finally, the professor was giong to show them what to do.
Oh no, Destiny and Evelyn were all wet, she had a feeling they would not find this funny.

Drying spell? They were going to use spells even in this class? Wow, Evan could actually like these classes -herbology and CoMC- if they used spells. He shook his head at Marie's question. He didn't know, and even if he knew, he'd still wait for Bunz. Although the woman was so beautiful and looked cute to outside, he was afraid of her, and she was totally some sort of female Kazi. And that punishment given to Destiny and Evelyn corrected his judgment. He took a mental note not to cross her way.

Anyways, they had a job to do and watching Evelyn and Destiny wouldn't finish it. "Shall we?" he offered as he took his wand out, and pointed it at his pile. "Siccus aerous." he said while doing the wand motion on a very small part of the pile to avoid burning them all if it went wrong. Wow. It was working! He got encouraged and applied it on a bigger amount. This wasn't so hard...

Marie had a feeling things weren't going to turn out very good as she watched Destiny and Evelyn blow hot air at each other. She also knew she had a job of her own she needed to get done.

She turned her attention back to Evan and the job they needed to do when she heard his voice. "We shall" she said with a giggle. She practiced the wand movement a couple of times before giving the spell a try. This didn't seem so hard, she could totally do this and not mess it up. Pointing her wand at the pile of leaves in front of her she said "SICCUS AEROUS". Oh nooo, the leaves were starting to blow away, that wasn't good. "Ooops, maybe I shouldn't have said the incantation so loud." She gathered all the leaves back up laying them out side by side and tried once more, this time not as loud, "Siccus aerous". Yay, it was working, the leaves were staying where she put them. She continued to move the wand up and down the line of leaves letting them slowly dry out. Before she knew it, the leaves were dry.

She put her wand on the table and looked to see if Evan was done. Seeing that all of his leaves weren't dry yet she said, "It works faster if you line the leaves up instead of leaving them in a pile." Oh Merlin, did she just sound like a know-it-all because well, she wasn't, she only wanted to help.
