As you enter greenhouse two you find a peculiar scene. Instead of the regular long table with bags of dung and empty pots, you find that the long table is covered in a lovely purple tablecloth and the greenhouse is decorated with extravagant displays of flowers and creeping ivy. In addition to this new phenomenon there are platters of lovely floral cupcakes all along the table, each embellished with various edible flowers. Pots of tea with teacups are also positioned at intervals along the communal table.
Professor Bentley is found sitting on the corner of her desk at the front of the room munching on one of the sugary cupcakes. The black board beside her, displays the following instructions in neat cursive writing:

Note: Please be aware of different timelines. This lesson is not running at the same time as the Potions Final, and you should therefore not be coming to class as somebody else. Even if you could. Would you?
So please note that any posts- which indicate to me that you are 'polyjuiced'- will be deleted. Professor Bentley would be very disappointed if she found out you were deceiving her. Thank you.
OOC: The lesson will officially start in approximately 12 hours. In this time feel free to RP your charries arriving and what not. The lesson has OFFICIALLY STARTED, please do announce your tardiness from this point onwards- unless you want to lose house points. Thank you! If you haven't done so already then please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations and the SS Site Rules.
Also please do not chat excessively in this thread, there will be consequences if you do.
All SS Board Rules apply. IC rule breaking will result in IC punishment, OOC rule breaking will result in OOC punishment. Please behave appropriately and most importantly... have fun.

"What else?" mumbles Aiden partially groaning. The only idea she has is a barbaric way which is not a good idea after all. She realises that she is the youngest member of the group who does not act much of her age.
Arms crossed, the grey eyes wander around the greenhouse. Everyone else are discussing in their groups. Their voices overlap and makes some sort of noise. Aiden does not like noise which pretty much explains her behaviour today.
An idea just crossed her mind. However, Aiden is not confident with the effectiveness and decides to ask her teammates' opinions. "What do you think about observing what kind of creatures are attracted to the plants?" she suggests with a little confidence in her voice. That might not be a good idea after all.
"Definitely a good idea," Helena said with a grin, after she listened carefully to what Aiden had said. Even though... she'd never identify a plant by their ideas... but still. They could work for... professor Bentley maybe? Or anyone else who knew more beside telling which one is a rose and which one is a daisy.
Aaaand it also looked that the Gryffindor girl joined them as well. Yay. And her name was... Wisteria. According to Aiden's parchment. Hehe.
But the problem was that... Helena couldn't think of any other idea that might really work. Only stupid ideas like 'let's throw something at the plant and see what it does' ran through her mind at the moment.
Penny looked at William as he spoke and nodded.."no, I've no problem with Thea handing in the work", smiling at Thea... they all put in the work, it didn't much matter who handed it in.
As long as they had the required number of suggestions needed...
Me, neither" William told Penny. I enjoyed working with you, Ariella and Thea" William said to Penny.

* Read about them in books, look at pictures
*Smell
* The plant's stem: hairy, has it got thorns, warts, bark scales or other markings etc.
*Know what country the plant comes from & the surroundings they come from. E.g- a desert
*Universal Edibility Test
Writing the last thing down on the list, Thea stood up. 'Yep, no bother..' She smiled. Wandering to the front, Thea stood infront of the Professor. 'Here you go, Professor.' Thea placed down the parchment on her desk. 'This is from me, Arielle, Penny and William!'

Seren looked up from her teacup as Thea approached her with her groups work. "Ahh thank you dear," she said smiling taking the parchment and adding it to a pile of her stuff.. she'd have a look at it later when she was more focused. "If your all done you may be dismissed, though feel free to take another cupcake with you." Seren gave her a wink. Cupcakes always got her in a cheerful mood.
OOC: Please don't forget to PM me your groups work, as per the instructions from my earlier post:
Quote:
OOC: At the end of your group discussion/ end of the lesson, could 1 member from each group please PM me the character names, and user ID# of each member along with the links to everyone’s post. Failure to do this will result in you not receiving the points that you deserve. If you have any questions feel free to ask Bentley IC or myself OOC via PM. Thank you.
Also note that I will leave this thread open until some time on Wednesday.
"You've read Narnia?!" Kurumi chirped nearly flinging her quill across the room in surprise. She had had to sneak reading the book under the sheets of her bed with a flashlight in her hand late at night when everyone else was asleep due to her mother banning any talk or books on magic being in the home. Funnily enough, the book had been a gift from her father and had given it to her with the disclaimer of it being their little secret. "I love those books!" But now wasn't the time to discuss literature. Perhaps at a later date?
Shaking her head to try and remove the desire to discuss books, Kurumi focused more on what Simon had suggested. "That is assuming that all talking animals know everything there is to know about plants. We are witches and wizards, but we don't know about every single form of magic," she said gently. "Perhaps we could ask Professor MacFusty is Lady Rosamund would be able to help. She is brilliant."
Kurumi giggled and had to cover her mouth to soften the sounds when she heard his next suggestion. "Just make up our own names for flowers and create our on set of Herbology guidelines?" She wasn't even going to write that one down, but it was hilarious. "While I am not sure I like the idea of digging up a plant after it has already been planted, it might be a good idea to place a Permanent Sticking Charm on the seed or bulb or something else in the before planting. You could use Accio label when you were unsure of what you were planted and then banish it back into the ground after."

Herbology III - Identifying Plants (pair activity) Kurumi Hollingberry // Gryffindor // & Simon Leonarder De Simpson III // Hufflepuff //
What do we look at when we identify plants?
Leaf shape
Size – height, width etc.
Spikes, thorns, fangs etc.
Colour – plant, petals etc.
Movement
Reproductive structure
Flower shape – bell, plate, cup etc.
Plant properties
Nuts/berries – shape, size, colour etc.
Bark – colour, shape, texture etc.
Root System – size, colour, level of exposure etc.
Cautions
Biochemical secretions – oil, pus, sap, spores etc.
Stings
Poisons
Animals/insects
Bites – fangs and teeth
Grabby – vines, pincers etc.
Flammable
Explosive
Jumpy
Omnivorous
How to identify a plant without looking at its physical characteristics
taste the plant (only in tiny amounts)
feel the plant for its shape and texture
play music to the plant and see how it reacts
smell it
listen to the plant - how the wind blows through its leaves and what not
find someone who can identify it for you
check soil surrounding the plant
hire someone from the Department of Environmental Protection
team of Gardners to tell us what the plants are before planting them
seek the help of Lady Rosamund!
Permanent Sticking Charm on a label to be placed in the ground under the plant or perhaps at the base of the plant
Simon looked at the Parchment and smiled. "I can't think of anything else Kurumi." And then she asked a Question. "Yes I do, I read a lot I've got a big Library at hom." Simon was speaking truthfully there. "I have some very old books."
Simon stared at Kurumi. "Want to talk about books after class?" Simon didn't know if she would but he might as well ask. "And if you can't think of anything else I think we have finished so what do we do then." Simon hadn't really paid attention to Professor Bentley.

Kurumi got one of those sparkly looks in her eyes. It was the sort of look one might imagine a young child getting when they woke up on Christmas morning to see a mountain of presents left for them from Santa Claus. In this case, that was finding someone else who shared an interest in books. She was always happy to find that she wasn't the only one who shared an interest in literature.
"Well, I think we have done all the brainstorming we can then," she said nodding approvingly at the parchment. "We just need to turn our parchment in to Professor Bentley and then I think we are set to leave."
Kurumi jumped to her feet and walked over towards Professor Bentley and set the parchment down on her desk. "Simon and mine's work," she said with a triumphant smile. "And I kept him on task," she added in a low whisper and a wink. Which had ended up being easier than she thought it was going to be.
Kurumi then returned to where Simon was waiting for her and she placed her Herbology book back in her bag and sipped on her tea that had grown cold during their discussion.
"And I would love to discuss books sometime."

"Oh very good, thank you Miss Hollingberry," smiled Seren, she returned the wink. It was good to know Simon hadn't caused much of a disruption. As pleasant as the boy was, he had his moments. He made for interesting lessons though.
Enya glared at Louisa. Ministry labs? What was she on about? That was just stupid! Very much stupid. She scoffed and looked down at her sheet of parchment. Enya took her quill in her fingers and roughly turned her parchment, she put quill to parchment and began to draw. Draw what she didn't know but she was bored. Very bored. She placed her chin in her hand as she drew more.
"You idea's stupid Louisa, Ministry Labs. Ha, dream on..." She said crawly not looking up from what looked liked a portrait of someone. She didn't care if she was hurting her friends feelings, she could deal with it. She'd dealt with worse from her, but she peeked nevertheless. Just in case. But Louisa was ignoring her. Oh mature. Real Mature.
Enya pulled back from the desk and glared at her BEST FRIENDS back, her quill sitting on her drying half finished drawing. "Oh ignore me, that's helpful!" She scoffed. Turning her page back over she jottered down the next ideas before going back to her drawing...
Ideas
Ask someone who knows (Herbologist or expert)
Test the plant on a creature
Research (books)
Observation (Which animals eat it? How does it react to other things in nature?)
Analyze in Ministry's labs. Yeah Right
Louisa heard THAT! Her head snapped toward Enya and squeezed her eyes at her, "I'm not going to argue with you in class... and generally I don't want to drag Sierra into this stupid argument so.. I'LL FORGIVE YOU." She didn't say that she wouldn't shout though..
"Anyways, I think we're done with ideas." Nope she didn't think so, she just wanted to get away from Enya before they lose all the points Louisa had been collecting this term, "Let's go to Professor Bentley and give her the parchments," She said bossily and rather annoyed at ending this class this way. She was NEVER going to join Enya in a study group ever again.
Especially with new students around.
Her head raised too high, her parchment hugged to her chest, Louisa went to the Professor expecting the two other girls to follow. "We're done, Professor." She didn't put a smile on because SOMEONE INSULTED HER IDEA. Ahem. Louisa handed her parchment to the woman, "We had difficulties convincing someone that classes are for serious scientific discussion rather than silly personal opinions," Her tongue just couldn't stay still... not after what happened.
SPOILER!!: Louisa's Parchment
Ideas:
1. Ask an expert.
2. Testing on creatures.
3. Research. BAAAH!Enya
4. Observation.
5. Analyze in Ministry's labs.
Eyes still scanning the parchment as there are invisible notes written on it, Aiden calmly speaks. "You can join us if you like. We still haven't reach the limit of group members yet," it could be tell easily that she is concentrating... Or that she is in no mood of socialising. Aiden has never payed so much attention before. Not even in Potions.
Staightening her back, Aiden stretches her neck and lets her muscles relax. Then, she slides the parchment to the middle of the table so every members of the teams sees it.
"What else?" mumbles Aiden partially groaning. The only idea she has is a barbaric way which is not a good idea after all. She realises that she is the youngest member of the group who does not act much of her age.
Arms crossed, the grey eyes wander around the greenhouse. Everyone else are discussing in their groups. Their voices overlap and makes some sort of noise. Aiden does not like noise which pretty much explains her behaviour today.

"What do you think about observing what kind of creatures are attracted to the plants?" she suggests with a little confidence in her voice. That might not be a good idea after all.
Wisteria gave a curtsied nod in appreciition for letting her join her group. She noticed the parchment and read it as she took her seat to the side of Aiden. She remained quiet studying the other students around her. What else could we add, she thought. Aiden seemed to be annoyed, not at me, she could have said no, was it the lack of ideas? she questioned herself. She looked at the parchment again, and spoke, "Your idea has a lot to say you can tell a lot by what plants are around depending on the creatures in the habitat. I think that goes hand-in-hand with climate as a separate ides..." she tapped her quill, movement makes helps her thinking.

Besides, some creatures are only good for experimentation. If it wasn't for this method, you'll be still using dirty mud for your skin to smooth it!" Hinting at the facial care products... don't ask. "We're not here to talk about animals' cruelty. We're here for a scientific reason. You want sympathy, go pet your owl." HAHAHAHA! A smirk was put on her face.
On the other hand, their suggestions made sense to her. As if nothing had just happened, Louisa wrote down their idea withOUT removing her brilliant one.
"Let's see.." She pondered a minute before Enya would explode at her or whatever, ".. we can analyze it. Cut something out and take it to the lab..?" Very mugglish but she enjoyed this part in biology.. so..

To take her mind off the fact she really did want to just snap at her friend she turned back to her parchment and copy'd what the other girl; Sierra? had written.

She was glad that her suggestion had been put on the list, she'd only been sarcastic about it to cover up her outburst a moment ago. She meant, why hadn't any one thought of it before!? Sigh. Twiddling her quill between her fingers she sat through both her partners giving yet more suggestions. "Wouldn't that be boring?" She asked lazily looking at Sierra, who would want to observe a plant for god knows how long?
But then Louisa was going on about science yet again, "Do you ever shut up about science? this isn't the muggle world you know.." She shot at her friend, dropping her quill and turning to face her. Hello fight number...what number was it?

"Observation is boring only for those who don't have reasons to observe." Louisa replied quietly without turning to look at Enya, she kept playing with her quill, "I'm going to write down the analyzing part. Although I'm not sure if magical plants do have different substances from each other that can be found in labs." She paused, "Maybe there are labs in the ministry." Shrugging, she added this one to the list and looked at Sierra ignoring her BEST FRIEND. Again. "Any other ideas?"

Sierra rolled her eyes but otherwise ignored the two Ravenclaws she'd been working with. Apparently, they mistook her for a Hufflepuff or something. It seemed like they thought she cared about what happened between them or that she'd just do all the work for them while they argued like idiots. Hmm..
With a smirk to herself, she copied down their replies, but then she added a few more of her own without saying anything aloud.
Ask someone who knows (Herbologist or expert)
Test the plant on a creature
Research (books)
Observation (Which animals eat it? How does it react to other things in nature?)
Analyze in Ministry's labs.
Take the surroundings into account (certain plants only grow in certain places)
Gently throw a twig at it to see if the plant snaps or attacks in some way
Well, on second thought, what if she didn't get the points for not sharing her replies? Bahhh. Only for the points, only for the points. She eyed one of the Ravenclaw girls. "Who cares if observation is boring?" she said, not really asking a question but more or less making a statement. "No one said identifying plants was a thrill ride." Honestly. These Ravenclaws should be in Gryffindor. They were both, at times, as annoying as one.
"Looks like the lesson is coming to a close," she commented. Thank Merlin. "I just added two more." She turned her parchment around. "We can take the environment into account, since some plants only grow in certain places, and then we can throw a twig at it to see if it attacks or something like Chinese Chomping Cabbage would..."
OOC: I'll PM Hera with the list. Also, please don't take Sierra personally OOC. She can have a bit of an attitude.

Oohh dear... group work gone wrong? Well not everyone was tollerable, ... sometimes... Hhmm.
Smiling, with an eyebrow slightly raised Seren took the parchment and added it to her pile. "Thank you dear... though all opinions matter, personal or scientific." Because obviously not everything could be learned through a book or through formulas. Human trial and error was always the best way to learn.

"Not problem dear, glad you like them."
She really was thrilled, perhaps she would bake more often.
OOC: Reminder... anyone that wishes to take part in the activity is still free to do so, until some time on Wednesday when I will be closing the thread. Don't forget to PM me your discussions as well if you want credit for it. Thank you!

After collecting the students' group work, and watching them leave the greenhouse for the last time this term- minus the finals of course, Seren went about re-organising the greenhouse. Left of cupcakes were sent to her office, which she would enjoy later, and the remainding tea poured out. The plants would no doubt appreciate the tea, a nice calming alternative to water. Even they needed a little variety, no?
Once she was certain everything was set back in its rightful place, Seren took up her things in one arm and left the greenhouse, closing the door behind her.
Now she had some marking to do.
OOC: Thank you to everyone that participated! I'm closing the thread now as technically it is Wednesday where I am from... so yeah. If you havn't done so already, please don't forget to send me the links to your group conversation (only one member per group needs to do this) otherwise you will not be awarded points for it, and that would be a shame.
