The beginning of term, new faces, old faces, new adventures... yeah Bentley was excited. As she stood in the entrance to Greenhouse Four, she rocked back and forth on the ball of her feet, her hands clasped in front of her.
"Good morning everyone! The lesson will begin shortly, in the meantime please take a seat." She motioned her hands to a few rows of benches that have been placed near the entrance to the greenhouse for the purpose of that lesson.
OOC: The lesson has officially started, DO NOT announce your character arriving from this point onward, as they will be late, and late = trouble. If you haven't done so already then please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations and the SS Site Rules. 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. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a PM.
...he was going to work with a SECOND year? Really? And a second year DORK that was just smiling sweetly at him. Of all people, she chose HIM. Joćo was annoyed by the girl the second he'd heard her offering help. Those plants were DANGEROUS. How could she want to work with one? Throwing her a look of DISapproval, he neither denied nor accepted the help and just went over to the same plant he and that crazy Ravenclaw had been working for. He wasn't going to start on a new one. Nope. He'd just go on with flossing this one. And if the girl wanted to help, she'd better keep silent. He wasn't in the mood for talking. He was busy planning a revenge for that duo. Not so much for the girl, but that West-something was in his black list.
Jezzabelle took a step back and the smile faded off her lips. Well it wasn't like she was doing anything wrong by offering her help and he could have at least said thank you. It was his grade suffering anyway not hers. She walked up and pet the sleeping Piranha plant softly. He seemed to be in the flossing phase of things so she grabbed some of the floss and decided she would help regardless his grumpy attitude. Not a word spoken.

Pyrsephonie cleared her station of big things and got to work cleaning. She grabbed a wet cloth and some cleaning spray and got to work. She sprayed the entire table, and then wiped it down. She then dried the table off with another cloth.
She put the spray away and took care of the cloths. She knew that she could've used a spell to clean her station, but she preferred not to. Her Grandfather hardly ever used magic to complete chores, unless it was seriously called for. So that's what Pyrsephonie did too.
She went back to her station and packed her things. She looked over to the Professor and smiled. "Bye Professor!" Pyrsephonie said, waving. Then she looked over to the plants. "Bye Ladon!" She waved at Ladon too. She saw one of Ladon's leaves flutter. Pyrsephonie took it as Ladon waving back at her.

So she was really going to work with him, huh?
Despite all his sulky expression and attitude, huh?
Her choice, even if it seemed to Joćo she was doing it only for extra points. Or else, who would go any closer to that piranha thing PLUS work with a sulky, quite capable of insulting people seventh year male Slytherin PLUS stay at the class while they could simply leave? NO ONE. He just hoped that Professor wouldn't give her ANY extra points at all.
And unlike her running to the plant oh so eagerly that I'm gonna cry!, he actually waited a bit distanced and observed the plant. Because it had signals of waking up and he wanted to make sure it was only an illusion of his psychological state at that moment, thanks to Aspen. He didn't say any word to the girl, though. He hoped it really was waking up for a moment to teach a lesson to the kid, but alas. It wasn't. Still, he watched it for a full minute without even blinking, because one couldn't be too sure.
When it was positive the plant didn't move, he walked up next to the girl and got some thread to floss the teeth. It was GROSS that he could puke at any moment. He contained himself though, because it'd be much better if he just did the task at hand and did not draw any attention to himself.

At least the KID kept silent too.
It was weird to be dealing with even more dangerous plants but she was grateful. She couldn't stand having her own thoughts to deal with really, they were more annoying than removing the gunk from in-between this plants teeth. She didn't really care if this older student had an issue with her or was grumpy she just wanted something to do other than head up to the common room to be alone.
She flossed each tooth carefully, not applying to much pressure to cut the base but just enough to get the stuff stuck there. It was busy work and that's all that mattered. She wasn't going for extra points just the work. She flossed and flossed and flossed and realized how much more work this plant actually was. No wonder the younger students got stuck with the fanged geraniums.
.......
She finally reached the last tooth in her row of teeth and took a step back to exam the work that had previously been done and that she had just recently completed. It looked pretty good although she had missed a piece of something. She went back in with the floss and quickly took care of it. One more look to triple check and then she nodded in approval. The plant had nice teeth that were ready to be ruined at a moments notice, which that moment could be when it possibly woke up. She didn't know their feeding schedules.

Joćo didn't pay that much attention to the teeth because he was busy containing himself not to vomit. Still, he did a good job in his opinion. There weren't anything left in there, at least, although he didn't leak his eyes searching for it. He was just glad he was done with it, thanks to this girl. He probably owed her a thanks or something. Yeah. Although he hated to admit, some help was good. That didn't change his sulky expression though. He was still annoyed by her presence next to him, even if she did half the work well and reduced his working time by half. When they were done, he just stepped back and examined it. Good job. He owed the girl. He'd buy her some chocolate sometime. Little girls loved chocolate, right?
Getting his wand out again, he didn't even ask the girl or waited for her to help him clean the area. Someone as young as her wouldn't know such spells, right? He simply "Evanesco!"ed all the dirty ropes and "Scourgify!"ed all the brushes. He "Scourgify!"ed the table as well, just in case the Professor would think it got dirty too. Then, turning to the professor, he said "We're done, Professor Bentley," in his most suave voice before offering his best smile at the girl.
"Thank you," he said, looking a bit milder. "I owe you one. What's your name so I can find you later?" To buy her chocolate. He hoped she wasn't allergic to it or had traumas about it.

Jezzabelle watched as he cleaned up and did all the work three times faster than she had done her own but it didn't matter because they were done. He called attention to Professor Bentley and she just stood there not really ready to leave yet so she chewed on her lip.
He turned to her and spoke his first word to her. "My name is Jezzabelle and you don't owe me anything. It's fine," she said honestly. A thank you was all she needed. She wanted to keep busy so her mind wouldn't wander. In all honesty she was being selfish in offering her help to him in the first place.
She turned to see what Professor Bentley would have to say and the words came out of her mouth before she could stop them, "Is there anything else I can do? Anything at all?" Anything but go back to the common room.

Oi, if Amelia had she'd probably not be too happy with him at the moment. "I jus' wouldn't want anyone te be in danger, if I can help it. I'd do the same fer a guy even if they'd let me."
Dropping the floss into the garbage he returned realizing she'd already picked up the toothbrush and begun brushing. OI! Quietly but quickly he stepped up and began stroking the plant just as Stella had been doing, feeling the breathing tics under his hand as he stroked with stready strokes, he watched as she carefully went over each tooth. When the bottom was done he started relaxing a little. They were nearly done! Breathing a sigh out as she worked over the top ones he kept stroking the plant. "Nearly done." he murmured.
Wow if this hadn't been one of the more dangerous herbology jobs he'd ever done he didn't know what was!
Stella knew that she really didn't need to continue the conversation, as Isaac had merely nodded as she'd mentioned exactly why she'd given him the look earlier. Besides, even as he'd spoken, it just continued making her think about how he was like Matt, if Matt hadn't been from America and had a brogue. Well, and if he hadn't been older than me., she also acknowledged silently. Isaac looked a bit younger than her, after all. "That's nice, she replied, even as she kept her eyes on the plant. "I think it's a bit difficult not end ing up in some possibly dangerous situations here at Hogwarts, though." Piranha plants, snargaluffs, the skrewt last term in CoMC... something told her that there was likely more that had or could happen here. Stories weren't the same as actually experiencing the events, though.
She could tell he wasn't exactly pleased she hadn't waited for him to get back before starting to brush. At least nothing had happened, and she was definitely keeping her hands away from the teeth. Although it became more difficult as she landed on a particularly unpleasant tooth. Time for distraction, even as she started brushing harder. "So, you're a Slytherin, right?," she asked Isaac, even though she kept her eyes on the plant, hoping that it wouldn't wake up. "My boyfriend was a Slytherin, but he graduated last term. Matt?" She didn't know if they knew each other, but at least talking was keeping her mind off what she was doing. And finally that tooth looked clean, so she moved on, letting out a breath she hadn't known she was holding. Bottom teeth, then top ones, and as she finished, she stepped away from the plant. Holding the brush out at arm's length. "I don't think I ever want to do that again," she said quietly, hoping Professor Bentley didn't hear.
She wasn't about to leave until she knew they'd finished, either. She just didn't want to get close to the plant again, so she looked at her partner. "Do you think the teeth look clean?," she asked. They'd done things backwards, after all, so she wasn't sure. She still woudl rather not have to brush all over again, in any case.

"Umm, sure, we can do that," Alex said with a nod, looking at the toothbrush in his hand again. This thing wasn't even a toothbrush, it more resembled something you'd use to brush a horse's mane or something...and he did NOT want to get any closer to that plant that necessary. He remembered wayyy back when he was a kid, he'd seen pictures of those plants on the TV...they were trying to eat a plumber or something...he had never thought they were REAL though!
"It's pretty knocked out," he said with a smile of relief as he took a step closer. "Shouldn't be too hard to deal with," he told her with a reassuring nod. The plant was drooping hardcore to the left, being weighed down by it's heavy red and white head. He carefully reached over and lifted one of it's lips gently and tested out the brush on the small bit of tooth he could see...no stirring from the plant. Good sign!
Evelyn still hesitated to move forward even though the plant didn't appear to be moving. Um. She chewed on her lip nervously as she watched Alex move closer. Gosh, she REALLY didn't want to do this..but yeah, she didn't have a choice. Sigh.
Shouldn't be too hard to deal with..Evelyn's eyes shifted towards the plant again, trying to spot any kind of movement. No, it was quite still. She moved closer to the plant until she was only a few feet away from it. GULP.
She extended her hands towards the plant's head cautiously..in case, it suddenly woke up or something. "I'll hold it's lip while you brush it's teeth.." Evelyn whispered before she proceeded to keep it's mouth open. Ugh. She just couldn't wait to get it over with. Although, she shouldn't complain. Alex was actually brushing it's teeth..which was way more disgusting.

With Evelyn holding up the lip, it was a LOT easier to brush the silly plant's ridiculously large teeth with the horse brush, but Alex kept going pretty fast just so he could get this over with as quickly as possible before the plant woke up. He wanted to make sure he did a good job still, so he went as fast as he could while still making sure to get all the plaque off. And there was a LOT of it. GROSSSSS. This was why Alex was never going to be a dentist.
"It has AWFUL morning breath," Alex muttered as he moved from tooth to tooth. It smelled like...frogs. Or something. He wasn't really sure.

Louisa saw the boy remove his hand in slow motion. Her fingers quickly crossed the second he left the tooth. While he closed his eyes, Louisa's remained wide open. EEEK! The girl's face couldn't go any brighter, "I did!" Duuh, she didn't have any doubts about her skills but she kind of didn't expect the spell working on a tooth.
Once Lewis started working on getting everything tied up, Louisa glanced around hastily trying to help. She used 'scourgify' on the floor around the plant in case of any drool, or the mess the brush left when she threw it on the ground and Lewis picked it up like a paranoid neat person. And then he asked for her to take something--
O__o
Louisa didn't get time to approach him and take the twine line away like a normal person instead she stumbled a few steps her arm almost a foot stretched before her and her fingers eventually grasped the tool. "Geez, Lewis!" She looked up at him to see that he was... staring off somewhere. Huh. Did he black out? Her eyes followed his gaze and she found a bunch of students working on their plants. Pretty normal in a Herbology class, actually. "W-what's wro-"
Until Kurumi's frozen figure came to focus. She was staring at them, too. Or at him so to speak. "Merlin.." Louisa's eyes moved from the boy next to her to the Gryffindor Prefect. That brought her back to the question she'd asked him before he got all flustered and plucked the plant's tooth out. Now, she shot the Prefect standing next to her a look. What was he doing? Didn't he know that Kurumi had a boyfriend? This look, that hand-holding, and his nervous and over-the-edge reaction all indicated that he had something for the girl.
"Come on. We need to get going before the tooth falls out," she stated sternly nudging him to move. Too bad she had no control over the boy.. or the right to pry anything out of him. But her curiosity started simmering inside...
Lewis was completely oblivious to what was going on behind him, like how Louisa had to perform a ninja-like stunt to catch the flossing twine he had just dropped. No, he was completely focused on Kurumi who was just standing there as if frozen on the spot and staring at him. Or well, them probably. Maybe she had noticed their problem with the plant.
Or she was actually staring at HIM. Uhm...
But she still looked a little...odd. It was quite unlike Kurumi to just stare. Before he could think about this any more, Louisa caught his attention again by nudging him, quite...forcefully. "I...what?!" He took a tiny step to the side without averting his gaze from Kurumi at first before turning around quite suddenly, almost colliding head-on with Louisa in the process. "S-sorry." His eyes widened a little as he took a hurried step back and away from the Ravenclaw Prefect, a distinct blush forming on his cheeks.
Oh. But the TOOTH! Right. "Yeah. True. You're right. Yes. Absolutely." He glanced around quite frantically for a moment, looking for the flossing twine until remembering that he had given it to Louisa. Okay, now. Brush. Pointing his wand at the brush in his hand, he used Scourgify on it too before handing it to Louisa without another word. She was right though. They SHOULD hurry before Bentley noticed anything.

Violet wasn't sure what to do anymore. Her plant's teeth had been flossed and cleaned pretty quickly since they weren't all that dirty except for the stinky breath. Students were now leaving the class room so meaning the class for today was done now right? Violet quickly packed up her things and scanned the room to see if she left anything else. It didnt seem like it, but what was she supposed to do with the plant? She raised her hand up to get the professor. "Professor Bentley, do we just leave our fanged geraniums on the table or do we need to move them somewhere?" Already her plant seemed to be waking up from the sedative and Violet didn't know what it was going to do when it's full conscious was awakened. What disasters could it do to her?
Angelina finally completed cleaning the plants teeth. She smiled at it, hoping the plant would smile back, and she could see how much of a good job she has done. Of course though, the plant never returned her smile. Whatever at least she knew she did a good job and didn't have to see it to believe it.
Cleaning the area around her a bit with the floss and such, she finally looked around to see most others where finished as well. A few students left but Angelina wasn't to sure if that was alright or not.
Taking her gloves off she walked up to Professor Bentley with a smile and said,"Hello Professor. That was a great lesson." But she always loved Herbology! "Do you need help with anything before I go," she asked.

Implying?
..
No, Aspen had said that outright, straightforward. She meant it, too, but she only said it OUT LOUD to get at Joao and Slytherin's forever rivalry with the red-clad Gryffindors. Aspen expected the Professor to know as much and also expected the Professor to know that Aspen knew that "loud and dumb" was not exclusive to Gryffindor. It had been a chide. Hmm.
But she didn't and was asking Aspen.
Aspen blinked BIG, LONG thoughtful blinks at her Professor, almost willing her to retract that question. It made Aspen make a mental note to speak to the Fisherlibrarian about getting into the Restricted Section of the library.
"Thanks, Professor." Aspen gently nudged West towards the geraniums. "Show me how much you have done, West." ANDAREYOUOKAY?? Aspen wasn't taking her hands off of him...possibly ever again.
Prepare for YOUR day of reckoning, Joćo Marcelo Mendonēa Nascimento Teixeira Neves.
Now this girl was no Eagle, and she wasn't a Snake a Lion or a Badger either... nope. She was a weasel! Aspens non-response to her question left her feeling empty and sort of awkward. This kid was something alright. Something special in a weird and almost unpleasant way. A sneak perhaps.
But she was... pleasant enough, to let slip the comment.
"Mmhhmm," she replied to Aspens thanks. Thanks for what exactly?

Throwing all the rubbish into the trash bins, Jonathan cleaned his area. All the used floss into the bins and as for the brush, he took out his wand "scourgify" he cleaned it as well. These were Professor Bentley's things, so it was best if he helped her clean it.
When Jonathan was done, he finally packed up his things and went to say his goodbye to the Professor "Goodbye Professor" he said with a big smile "Have a nice day" he added as he walked out of the Greenhouse.
Oohh and would you look at that, more students were finishing up. Seren glanced at her pendant watch before looking up at Jonathan. "Enjoy the rest of your day."

Ira grinned. She wanted to touch the plant. She wanted to see how it would react. She wanted to see if it would attack her, who had cleaned it's teeth. Surely, plants must have some gratitude, yeah?
And as if it could read her mind, the plant opened its mouth wiiiide, showing all its sets of pearly white sparkling clean teeth. If only it could speak! And whoa! Those teeth looked deadly. "Aww! Vine! You saying thank you to me huh?" Ira smiled and asked sweetly. "In that case, you're welcome!"
Anyways, she had to clean her work station. "Scourgify!" And it was done! And she was now free to go, right?
Seeing others leaving, Ira removed her globes, and kept them in her bag. Hoisting her bag up on the shoulder, she turned to leave the class, "Thanks Professor Bentley!" she said, much more cheerful than she had been at the beginning of class, "I hope Vine.. I mean, the plant likes my brushing and flossing!" she grinned. And it should. Because she had taken a bit of hard work over it. And endured bad smell. "And you too!"
"Bye dear," she replied, all smiles at the Lions enthusiasm. "I'm sure it did." Because really there was nothing nicer than that clean feeling.

She went back to her station and packed her things. She looked over to the Professor and smiled. "Bye Professor!" Pyrsephonie said, waving. Then she looked over to the plants. "Bye Ladon!" She waved at Ladon too. She saw one of Ladon's leaves flutter. Pyrsephonie took it as Ladon waving back at her.
"Goodbye," she called out as more students left.

Oh would you look at that, the pair seemed to work quite well, rather efficiently at least. "Fantastic, both of you enjoy the rest of your day."
She offered Jezzabelle an almost sympathetic smile. "No, unfortunately it's time to wrap things up and kick you all out. Don't you have another class to get to? You wouldn't want to be late."

Now.......
She had something to tend to. It was no use hiding it, what with the whispering and huddling around the plant, she could tell, they were up to something, guilty of something really.
"Out with it, there's no point hiding whatever it is you've done," she said, approaching the Badger-Claw duo. If the plant haddened killed them yet, then there was a fair chance she wouldn't either. Unless the plant had died. Then they would have some answering to do.

It didnt seem like it, but what was she supposed to do with the plant? She raised her hand up to get the professor. "Professor Bentley, do we just leave our fanged geraniums on the table or do we need to move them somewhere?" Already her plant seemed to be waking up from the sedative and Violet didn't know what it was going to do when it's full conscious was awakened. What disasters could it do to her?
"Yes, just leave them where they are, thank you."

Cleaning the area around her a bit with the floss and such, she finally looked around to see most others where finished as well. A few students left but Angelina wasn't to sure if that was alright or not.
Taking her gloves off she walked up to Professor Bentley with a smile and said,"Hello Professor. That was a great lesson." But she always loved Herbology! "Do you need help with anything before I go," she asked.
"Well I'm glad you liked it!" she replied, still smiling so much her face hurt. But flesh eating plants always had that effect on her. "Nope, everything's all set, best make sure you're not late to your next class."
Checking her watch again briefly, she figured it was time to start clearing the students out. "Alright everyone, it's time to wrap things up. So clean your equipment and place them back in the stores cupboard please, and I'll see you all next lesson."

Minerva was done and all cleaned up. She was surprised she liked the class so much, it was gross getting flesh out of teeth, but it was fun no matter. She checked her station once more to make sure it was clean and then picked her bag up. Walking out of the green house she stopped "Have a great day Professor, thank you for an interesting lesson."
Nigel was surprised on his way out the door this class was not bad after all. The only thing bad about it was the clean up. Nigel never liked cleaning up but he had to do it anyway. Just before he he got to the doors he says "Thanks for the lesson Professor and have a good day". He leaves thinking about lunch and how much he should eat.
Stella knew that she really didn't need to continue the conversation, as Isaac had merely nodded as she'd mentioned exactly why she'd given him the look earlier. Besides, even as he'd spoken, it just continued making her think about how he was like Matt, if Matt hadn't been from America and had a brogue. Well, and if he hadn't been older than me., she also acknowledged silently. Isaac looked a bit younger than her, after all. "That's nice, she replied, even as she kept her eyes on the plant. "I think it's a bit difficult not end ing up in some possibly dangerous situations here at Hogwarts, though." Piranha plants, snargaluffs, the skrewt last term in CoMC... something told her that there was likely more that had or could happen here. Stories weren't the same as actually experiencing the events, though.
She could tell he wasn't exactly pleased she hadn't waited for him to get back before starting to brush. At least nothing had happened, and she was definitely keeping her hands away from the teeth. Although it became more difficult as she landed on a particularly unpleasant tooth. Time for distraction, even as she started brushing harder. "So, you're a Slytherin, right?," she asked Isaac, even though she kept her eyes on the plant, hoping that it wouldn't wake up. "My boyfriend was a Slytherin, but he graduated last term. Matt?" She didn't know if they knew each other, but at least talking was keeping her mind off what she was doing. And finally that tooth looked clean, so she moved on, letting out a breath she hadn't known she was holding. Bottom teeth, then top ones, and as she finished, she stepped away from the plant. Holding the brush out at arm's length. "I don't think I ever want to do that again," she said quietly, hoping Professor Bentley didn't hear.
She wasn't about to leave until she knew they'd finished, either. She just didn't want to get close to the plant again, so she looked at her partner. "Do you think the teeth look clean?," she asked. They'd done things backwards, after all, so she wasn't sure. She still woudl rather not have to brush all over again, in any case.
Nodding "Yep, I'm Slytherin a sixth year." he replied continuously stroking the plant gently. As long as he really wasn't paying any attention and acting like it was normal he was able to stay relaxed about it. Though the slightest movement still tensed him on occasion. "Matt...Stevens?" Erm...that didn't sound right, but he was sure he had met the guy at least once or twice. "I think I know which one ye mean. I jus' started here last year, so a lot is kind of hazey trying te meet everyone, ye know."
He didn't blame her "Me neither." he said quietly back glancing at the professor who was a distance away. "Definitely not one I'd choose fer me home garden." he said shaking his head looking back at the plant as he stepped back a little bit stopping the stroking. Looking around carefully at the plants teeth and mouth he didn't see a bit of food anywhere in around the teeth. "I think they look clean. Don' see anything anywhere." Tilting his head a bit he looked closer at the upper teeth. "I think we're done." PHEW, that was a relief! "Guess time te clean up the workstation, and rinse the brush."
Taking his gloves he put them back into his pockets and used his wand to use evanesco on the food bits that had fallen on the workstation top. Picking up the floss he moved to head to the cupboard "Are ye ready?"

And open it did. Only to be followed with an almighty BUUURRRRRRRP!!!!
"Oh! Gro--!!!!" Vickers spun away as quickly as he could, but nothing was stopping that putrid stench from enveloping him and everybody else unfortunate to be near him. He staggered away for a moment, trying to keep his breakfast from making an unscheduled re-appearance.
He turned back to it warily, the plant seemingly smiling now in his discomfort. "I'm done with that spot." he mumbled gruffly to Dylan then shoved the toothbrush onto another part of the Piranha plant's mouth, scrubbing furiously.
O_O
Unfortunately, with him standing so close, Dylan got a face-full of the Piranha's burp-breath. It had to be one of the most awful things he'd ever smelt in his entire life. And THAT was saying something...because he'd been playing sports since he was five.
Want nasty smells? Visit a locker room.
Trying not to think about the vapor surrounding him and his 'Claw partner too much (MIND OVER MATTER), he picked up the floss that looked about as thick as actual rope and took his place where Vicky had been brushing. Unrolling a bit of it, he pulled it out tight and stuck his hands in the things mouth. Making sure to slide it gently in between it's teeth...so not to startle him, Dylan began flossing...
"Hi Ho, Hi ho...It's off to floss, we goo...."

So, he was holding his breath...In fact, he was holding his breath so hard that tiny spots were starting to appear before his eyes. But this didn't effect his hands or his determination. The Slytherin's fingers worked diligently, moving the rope-like floss between the things teeth. He'd started from the back, slowly making his way towards the front...
...In doing this, he absentmindedly wonder if the Piranha's teeth also had names like theirs. Incisors...and what were the other ones? Dylan couldn't remember...
"We're going to need to switch sides soon, mate."

Dylan wasn't complaining, though. There was really no point. Everyone had to do this...So, it wasn't like he was going to receive any special treatment...
Even if he was more awesome than most of his peers working in the room around him...but that was a different story altogether.
Pushing the floss between the plants two front teeth, the Slytherin smirked. "Okay, let's switch. I'm finished with this side." Moving back so his 'Claw partner could slide over, Dylan threw the floss out, pulling some new for the other side. Holding it tight in his hand, like he had the other, he began at the back...working his way towards the front.
Vickers kept on, brushing that stinking maw in front of them. It was a challenging enough task, but trying to keep his breakfast down made it even more excruciating, practically having to keep his jaw wired shut. The most he could give Dylan was a vigorous nod when the Slytherin mentioned to switch places, then swung the toothbrush upward so he could start working on the upper molars. He was vaguely aware of the commotion behind him with Professor Bentley, and as much as he curious to see what that was all about this Ravenclaw wasnt about to turn his head AWAY from a plant with teeth large enough to finish him off in two bites.
When he was done with the upper teeth he backed away quickly, releasing his breath he didnt know he was still holding in a loud gasp. "Alright brushing's done." he muttered wearily, setting the now disgusting toothbrush back on the workstation.

Finally done cleaning up, she smiled at the Geranium. It was time to go.
Bouncing up to Professor Bentley, she waved. "Thank you for the lesson, Professor!" she beamed. But this just made her decision to be a rabbit permanent. If she ever had to floss those things out of her own teeth, she die.
Jezzabelle sighed. She probably should have known better than to hope she could stay a little while longer. Everything here seemed so peaceful though and she was rather upset to leave. No worries though, she'd end up in greenhouse three before the day was over and there she would keep herself occupied.
"Okay Professor Bentley. I really enjoyed the class. See you next time." With what little comfort she had left she inhaled once and then grabbed her bag and made her way out of the greenhouse heading for the castle.

Oh good... students were keeping up and finishing on time. "You still need to tidy up and clean your brush, then place it in the stores cupboard, once you've done that, you're free to leave."
Right, so he needed to clean up. The brush, he ran over and rinsed off the same way he had in the middle of his cleaning. Heading back to the work station, he grabbed the floss, and looked around for the cupboard the professor had mentioned. Seeing it, he deposited his supplies and head for the exit. Pausing at the doorway, he turned back. "Thanks for the lesson professor."
Heading to the cabinet where he got his borrowed gloves from, her returned them. then grabbed the rest of his belongs, he headed back up to the castle.

Implying?
..
No, Aspen had said that outright, straightforward. She meant it, too, but she only said it OUT LOUD to get at Joao and Slytherin's forever rivalry with the red-clad Gryffindors. Aspen expected the Professor to know as much and also expected the Professor to know that Aspen knew that "loud and dumb" was not exclusive to Gryffindor. It had been a chide. Hmm.
But she didn't and was asking Aspen.
Aspen blinked BIG, LONG thoughtful blinks at her Professor, almost willing her to retract that question. It made Aspen make a mental note to speak to the Fisherlibrarian about getting into the Restricted Section of the library.
"Thanks, Professor." Aspen gently nudged West towards the geraniums. "Show me how much you have done, West." ANDAREYOUOKAY?? Aspen wasn't taking her hands off of him...possibly ever again.

But she was... pleasant enough, to let slip the comment.
"Mmhhmm," she replied to Aspens thanks. Thanks for what exactly?

"Okay." West went ahead and showed Aspen his Geranium after staring between the professor and his sister and generally being baffled by the turn of events AND still feeling a bit feral and West wasn't letting go of Aspen EITHER.
"I did the brushing already, I just got to do the flossing part." West told his sister. Wouldn't be easy with one hand with a deathgrip on hers though.
And the professor was saying it was time to be done! West gave Aspen a slightly panicked look, wheezed a bit more, and then extracted his hand from hers so that he could FLOSS.
FLOSS WITH A VENGEANCE.
Except not really because he was being super gentle with the Fanged Geranium, and as he worked on it, there were little whistles and wheezes coming from his mouth.
And the Geranium? Still catatonic through all of this.
Wheeeeeeze.

"It's okay," Aspen assured West, assuming her usual calm demeanor for him. Truthfully, she felt anything BUT calm. She was... furious. Aspen's faith in adults had shrunk as of late.
And it was downright deteriorating now.
"You've got time to finish." Aspen didn't put up any sort of fuss that he let her hand go. She just compensated by standing RIGHT ON TOP of him. She idly fixed his hair from all the roughing and toughing he'd been through. "Maybe I should have gotten you a helmet in Diagon Alley and not an expensive wand kit."
Aspen knew better to ASK about his injuries here. She'd make sure he got fixed after, but she wasn't going to say a word, at the scene, in front of his friends. "I hope your floss your own teeth with this much care, Trouble."

Aspens made everything better, West knew this as a truth. He ignored the hair fussing and kept on flossing. But really, there wasn't THAT much goop to get. Not like some of the other ones, which apparently smelled really bad too? But nope. West wasn't all that bothered by any smells.
DID he floss his teeth with this much care though?
...
...
He peeked over his shoulder at his sister, innocent look in place.
"I think I'm done. Does it look okay? Did I do good, Aspen?" Wheeeeeeeeeeze.

It was good that the two girls were already flossing Mr Human Eating Plant's teeth when professor Bentley mentioned wrapping things up. They did their job pretty well, didn't they? Well, at least Nora was proud of herself because she shrieked only once and didn't faint at all! Given all those deadly plants surrounding her... that was something.
"Scourgify," she mumbled as she pointed her wand at everything they used to clean the plant's teeth, after which made sure that they were all back in their place in the cupboard. Packing her gloves after cleaning those as well, Nora waved at Aurora and smiled at the professor on her way out. "Goodbye, professor." And out she went.

After ensuring that each and every work station was tidy, Seren went around shooing out the remaining students. Honestly! Did they want to be late for their next class?
Then she went about making sure that the plants hadn't been harmed... though one of the Piranha plants seemed to have a loose loose tooth or something, she'd inspect it closely once she cleared a few other things up first.
Once everything was in order, she exited the greenhouse, closing the door behind her.
