| | |  The Greenhouses: Herbology Lesson One
Herbology Lesson One
It was such a nice day outside, the weather was mild, not quite warm but not cold either. Just the way Seren liked it. Unfortunately the lesson wasn’t being held outdoors, no, it was being held in Greenhouse One, where the air was cooler, and the smell of damp soil filled the air.
As you enter the greenhouse the first thing you notice are the stools arranged to the side of the greenhouse by the door, and directly opposite these are stools of a different variety. That’s right, toadstools! While they may look harmless from a distance it’s not wise to get too close to them just yet, after all you wouldn’t want to be sent to the Hospital Wing before the lesson has even started.
Waiting patiently for the students to arrive, Professor Bentley stood by the door to welcome them as they entered; Though she was careful to position herself near the seating area so that she can keep an eye on any mischief making. Standing slightly to the side of the toadstools, was Professor Bentley’s old blackboard, neat and tidy cursive writing slowly appearing on its surface- as if by magic!

Kurumi was feeling a little frantic since she had lost track of Walnut earlier that morning. She figured it had something to do with all the first years in the common room - it was stressing his little stubby legs and kitty ego not having full range of his domain. She had had to lock him up in the dorms before he could relieve himself on a first year's shoe.
Hair tied back in a side pony tail, Kurumi entered the greenhouses and stumbled a bit when she saw that the layout had changed. "Good day...Professor Bentley," Kurumi said with a slight bow before turning her gaze to the toadstools opposite the stools for them to sit in. Good thing she had her dragnhide gloves with her today, right? "Planning on giving those first years their first taste of Herbology?" she asked, nodding her head towards the toadstools that she hoped she had imagined something gleaming from around where their mouths were probably situated.

Isabelle walked into herbology with a cheerful smile on her face. "Good day professor," she said smiling brightly while sitting down and pulling out her supplies she would need. "How are you doing today?" Isabelle asked. She pulled her long blonde hair up in a ponytail to keep it out of her face when she worked. It was another one of her favorite classes and she definately needed to know magical plants to be a healer like she aspired to be.

Still not use to the castle's set up, Brooklyn followed a bunch of other students who she happened to overhear. Apparently they were on their way to herbology as well. So, she stalked followed them without permission to the Greenhouse because if she hadn't, she never find it. Or.. she'd show up an hour later, which was not acceptable. Well, she thought it was but the professor might think otherwise.
Upon arriving, Brookie stood in the doorway, peering into the class room before setting a heel in there. If there was no professor, she thought it best to stay outside and wait. But luckily for her, the professor was indeed there, sitting inside the classroom. So, this time without hesitation, she proceeded through the doorway.
"Hello Professor," she smiled over at the woman before continuing toward the seats in the middle of the room. Her favorite spot in any classroom.

Ah Herbology, a class to get one's hands dirty..literally. Well usually glove-covered hands but the image still stood pretty well. Stepping from the castle and walking to the greenhouses, it was still a decent fall day so one didn't need to bundle up. "Good day Professor Bentley," Gideon greeted with a polite smile, the professor standing by the door on the other side of the doorway when one entered.
Heading further into the room, his bag holding his books and supplies over his shoulder, he took in the layout of the room as well as the greenhouse's other occupant. "Hey Kurumi," he greeted moving over to a stool nearby and taking a seat to await the start of class and their instructions.

| She's super excited lol sorry DivaDivaDiva ||Candy Cane Mama||
FINALLY!
A class she was looking forward to and a class she was good at. And with a professor that wasn't going to yell at her. She had been up for 3 hours before her Herbology lesson and it was the first one of the day.
Harlow was wearing an all white jumpsuit under her Slytherin robes and she practically ran out of the castle and down to the greenhouses. She pushed open the doors and her heart lifted as she sucked in the earthy warm smell of the greenhouses. It made everything right with the world. "Hullo Professor Bentley." she through her arms around Professor Bentley's legs and gave her a fierce hug. She let go quickly however and moved over to find a good seat near the front.
Harlow could barely contain herself!

Aurora almost skipped into the Greenhouse, she was so excited for this lesson! She loved Herbology almost as much as potions! She greeted the professor at the door. "Good day Professor Bentley, hows the Manducare doing?" she asked, grinning. Then she caught sight of the toadstools. "Oh, brilliant!" she said, her eyes lighting up. She wanted nothing more than to get near to them but figured she should probably wait... they might look harmless but she knew that that didn't mean anything, especially when it came to magical plants.

What once had been Eino's favorite class was now, to put it simply, a nightmare. He spent so much time trying to look nice and smell good, but two minutes alone in a Greenhouse would get him covered in dirt and smelling like dragon dung. Not exactly an attractive look! No matter, he still enjoyed the class, but he could do with less dirt and dung. Plus, Professor Bentley was his favorite professor and he would never want to disappoint her, so he would do his best, get as dirty and stinky as it took, and then run as fast as he could to the Ravenclaw common room to get cleaned up.
"Good morrow, Professor." He greeted her with a smile and gave her a quick hug before anyone else could see him. That would be embarrassing. He then walked inside the classroom, took his usual seat, front and center, and set up his working station.

Vashti had been taking her time in coming dwon to the Greenhouses for the first Herbology lesson, hoping to make it just a few minutes before the class actually started and therefore shortening her time spent there than if she came really early like she preferred to do with her other classes.
And yet, despite her slowness, she was one of the first students to arrive.
Crud.
She still managed a smile for the professor though. Professor Bentley was nice, at least, even if the actual subject wasn't. "Hey, Professor," she said as she entered...and then eyed the toadstools that she noticed by the blackboard. What kind of toadstools were those? Should she be worried about handling them?
Slooowly she took a seat but continued eyeing the mushroom things suspiciously every now and then.

Amethyst smiled softly as she walked into the Greenhouse slowly. Sarah had told her that she felt Ame would be great a Herbology. Ame, on the other hand, begged to differ, but felt it was needed to at least give it a shot. She was excited, to be frank, and her face lit up, seeing the plants, though she didn't dare get close to them.

The autumn sun glinted slightly off the natural lights in Ivory’s hair, the wind catching it, fluttering wisps like feathers against her face. Her cheeks glowing with good health, the Ravenclaw prefect made her way down to the greenhouses. Like the intellectual she was, it could easily be said that she loved every subject taught at Hogwarts but truth be told herbology certainly had a special place in her heart.
Which was most likely why the smile on her face was genuine as opposed to a polite mannerism. The dimple in her right cheek peeking into view as the prefect approached Greenhouse One, Ivory gave a small wave. Hey Professor Bentley." Inclining her head respectfully, she looked the room over, recognizing what seemed to be the topic of today's lesson. Turning to grin at the Professor, she piped up, eyes twinkling. "You know, there's not mush-room, but I don't think anyone will mind since they're all such fungi's."
Giggling as she found a seat near the fungi's in particular, she shook her head chuckling. Puns. Really, she couldn't resist.

Ellie was actually excited for Herbology for once. She walked into the greenhouse sporting a cheerful smile. "Bentley!!" No big. She was only one of the Ravenclaw's favorite Professors this year. Ever, really, but especially this year, when so many good people left. It was VERY nice to see a GOOD, familiar face.
She suppressed her slight urge to hug the woman, and made her way to the stools. Upon noticing the toadstools, she wrinkled her nose. Despite being happy, which was purely for getting a lesson with a loved Professor, Ellie still hated the subject. Plants were so gross. Gross.
But she didn't let that wipe away the smile.

Nate trudged into the greenhouses, hoping to get as little dirt on his shoes as possible. Ugh, herbology. he thought bitterly as he made his way towards the back. Nate liked to learn, but wasn't the outdoorsy type, so he tended to avoid plants back at his muggle home. He had no idea what to expect from magical plant life. Being mildly interested, he had decided not to simply skip the class. So, as he stood and waited for class to begin, he looked around silently for Pam and Jayden to come in.

After waiting in the terrace for what seemed like days, Maddy saw a few students enter into the greenhouses. Time for class! She packed up her bag and walked into the Greenhouse with her fellow students. They were greeting the Professer as they walked in, Maddy heard someone say the name Professer Bently. That must be her name. "Hi Professer Bently, my name is Maddy" she introduced "nice to meet you". Maddy plunked down into the first seat she saw and took out her books. Maybe Eris or Sarah would come sit with her.

Sarah walked into the greenhouse, slightly happier than she was last period. She was slowly getting used to the skirt. Very slowly.
Part of her good mood was because she figured she would like this class. Plants were never her thing, but she did love nature. She found an empty place and walked over to it, setting her green and black messenger bag on the ground. Mmm, it may have been weird, but she loved the smell of plants and dirt.  | |

Selina made her way through the grounds to the Greenhouse. She had to make sure that she was on time, not that she wasn't last year, but she always ended up running in right before class started. Not this year, nope. Selina was a mature third year who could handle getting to class on time- yeah, that was it.
Then she walked into the Greenhouse and looked at Professor Bentley, "Morning ma'am," she remarked proudly as she entered the room. She had made it, "enjoy your summer?"
As she ended her conversation with her Professor and walked to her usual place in the Greenhouse.

Olivia made her way into the Greenhouse where her first Herbology lesson would be taking place, careful to make sure that she was early so that she wouldn't lose points for her house. She hoped she'd like the lesson and that she'd be somewhat good at it. She'd always enjoyed helping her mother in the garden at home and she thought that Herbology would be similar, at least in some ways.
This was the first place where she'd felt reasonably at home and Olivia hoped that it would translate into her work. It was difficult having to adjust to a completely different curriculum.
She eyed the toadstools but was careful not to get too close. She had no idea whether they were normal, or whether they were a dangerous magical version.

Herbology.
This was not good at all, at least not for Nikolas who disliked this subject, after Arithmancy of course. He wasn't in a good mood to see boring plants, so he walked reluctantly to the greenhouses. He didn't wanna show a bad attitude so, he changed a bit his expression before he could entered into the classroom. He stepped in and there were already students, he looked at the professor and said " Morning Professor" he smiled a bit. He walked over to a vacant chair, with his bag on his back and sat down while he waited for the class to start. He let his bag fall beside him and looked at the toadstools. Toadstools? He thought they were going to see a more interesting plant.

Beatrice was excited. Herbology. Not her favorite subject but not one that she despise either. A flood of students were on their way now to the Greenhouse One, and she just let herself go with the crowd. Upon arriving at the entrance, she slowly took a peak inside and saw that a few were already there. She smiled confidently and walked towards their Professor, "Good day Professor !" she greeted.
Looking around, she could see the variety of different herbs and plants. And then her eyes settled on the toadstools. Really now ? First day of Class with Toadstools ? She smiled widely, she was now feeling very excited with this lesson.

Ok, Maddy was geting antsy. Her friend walked right into the classroom after her and diddn't even sit with her! Maybe some nice other Slytherin would like to join her. Or Hufflepuff, or anyone for that matter. Anyways, she started reading ahead , she turned to a page on toadstools. Ah, magical todstools of the English forests, this looked like the right page.

Violet trotted into class the first one that she felt a little confident in. Even if not all of them were exactly the same it was still about plants something she truly adored and plants for the most part like numbers were universal she felt confident she would quickly learn which plants where dangerous and beneficial and how to treat them just as she had with the plants from her muggle home

Presley skipped into herbology in her shorts and tee-shirt. A heavy bag slung over her shoulder. "Hello, professor!" She said cheerily. Wisely taking a place near Bentley's teaching spot. "How is my plant doing? Find anything interesting?" She pulled her dragon-hide gloves from her bag, and set them next to her workstation, ready for use.
