Default Herbology Lesson I - Fire Bushes


It was bright outside today, but it didn’t much matter because they were headed into the forest. Paul had found that once you got into certain parts of the Forbidden Forest that day turned right into night. The thickness of the trees made sure of that.

Paul was waiting right beyond Justin’s hut, rocking to and fro in a leisurely fashion. He had his wand in his hand, and his eyes kept flickering at the forest as if he were expecting something to come out. Perhaps he was. There were metal buckets, enough for everyone in class, strewn about the area. Paul may have haphazardly levitated them here from the greenhouses earlier.

As students began to mill about, Paul cleared his throat.

“Students! As you can see we are entering the forest today! Deep deep DEEP into the forest where the light refuses to shine!” He smiled because he KNEW some of them would find this absolutely AWESOME and others would be terrified. “No one should be scared! We will have adequate protection with us!” He held his wand aloft and glanced at the forest’s edge again.

“As you all get settled, can anyone tell me which plants, magical or mundane, might like the darkness of the forest?” he asked as he began to pace in front of the students who had arrived.




OOC: Hello everyone, welcome to Herbology! Please note that this is not the students’ first Herbology lesson of the year and play accordingly. Make sure to check out our classroom rules and also SS site rules as well if you have not done so already.<3

Moving on in ROUGHLY 24 hours.


Class has officially started.

Her offering was approved as were a good portion of the other plants, Cassie making note of the ones she hadn’t readily thought of on her own. Might be good to know at some point…who knows? And look…a centaur! “Hello,” she said, returning his greeting, doing her best not to stare in curiosity. She did incline her head in respect when he was introduced. As for the actual entering of the Forbidden Forest she was ready when Professor Myers spoke up once more to get the group’s attention before he led them on. Grateful she wasn’t a first year that needed t directly trail anyone on this little adventure, the fourth year made sure she had what was needed.

Gloves…check.

Bucket…check once she moved to the nearest available one and leaned down to pick it up.

Supplies to take any notes she might want to at some point…check, check.

“Lumos,” Cass cast, lighting her wand as a safety precaution if nothing else. Then once she was sure she was all set, the Ravenclaw followed both the professor and the students who started off before her. Fire seed plants!! Of course. A plant that has flames living in the dark damp caves within the forest. Hearing Katherine’s suggestion, she had to admit, that had been kinda what she had been thinking in terms of usage for the fire seeds, Kitty apparently agreeing as well. “Maybe use them as outdoor lighting and heat, especially during chilly nights.”

How the heck he knew what the actual full term name of a ZZ plant? He simply shrugged back at the professor. Its called a ZZ plant. End of story.

James didn't like to pick up anything when someone told him to. Besides how many ugly metal buckets were there at the front? Urgh. Having no choice at the matter, he picked one up before swinging it over his shoulder and followed the rest of the ugly metal buckets gang. Then he noticed this one first year kid wearing somekind of armour over his little body. What the-? He couldn't hold back his laughter. Man...kids these days. James gave a look back at Tim...what now? He rolled his eyes at and responded to Nat instead,"Yeah, it is. Wonder where the caves at."

Fire seeds? Easy, he would use them to make some kind of healing potion but someone already answered that. "Maybe use them as a distraction to get away. Like a decoy for escape. You throw fire seeds at your enemies." James chuckled because really that yeti answer was kind of funny. He wanted to add more to that.

Default Mention of Kitty!
w.a.m.s|♩♫♪♬|sour gummy snakes| "DNA doesn't make a family, Love does"

...Oh. So it wasn't a plant.

Charlie didn't like getting answers wrong, and she felt her cheeks get a little hot. She nodded and smiled at Professor Paul to be polite, and kept quiet after that. After all, she couldn't get any answers wrong if she wasn't talking at all. She should really keep to this way of thinking more often.

Now, though, they were going into the forest. Oh boy. The chills that ran through her contrasted nicely with the heat on her face. She made sure to slip on her gloves before going to grab one of the metal buckets, then trotted to catch up with the group. In light of the instructions to stick by someone if you were a first year, the girl trailed behind Kitty, because she was her prefect and also very nice (The shame of answering a question wrong put Professor Paul out of the running, anyhow).

Fire seed caves? Wow, Hogwarts had everything. And then, the professor asked another question: What would she use the seeds for? Charlie wasn't exactly sure, and she wasn't about to embarrass herself by answering with uncertainty again (Maybe she'd try again next class). However, she pondered the question anyway, and made sure to look like she was doing so. Hmm.... Weren't they very hot? They could be used for cooking something that needed the heat in a pinch, as opposed to taking a longer time.

Charlie considered calling out her answer, as it actually seemed quite good, but that's what she thought about the previous one. It would do her good to keep her lips sealed.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Fire seeds, huh? Well it didn't matter what they were looking for in the forest today. Only thing that really counted was the fact they could head inside at all and he could finally get a sanctioned look at some of the things that lurked within. He didn't know about anyone else, but an acromantula sighting wouldn't have been totally off the table for him. Could you imagine the story that'd make for??

The idea alone had him looking in all directions as they walked. Something had to happen, anything. This Gryffindor was certainly not picky.

That whole discussion the Professor was asking for? It went right over his head. Blaise was much too busy giving in to his curiosity where the forest was concerned. Of course he didn't stray from the group and he was keeping up as well as anyone else might have but he was gazing. No way could he really pay attention when there was potentially so much to see.

Brown eyes temporarily fell on the centaur who informed them they were heading in something of a wrong direction. It kinda reminded him of the million galleon question he asked earlier as it related to Myers being allowed to lead them through here but still no complaints here. Nope.

So... Herbology lesson in or near the forbidden forest. This might be the best, best lesson of her whole Hogwarts career or at least to date. She hurried along the pathway and headed out to the forest meeting up with the rest of the group. They were just at the edge standing around.

Oh.... so they were heading into the forest. Awesome. Kat probably shouldn't be as excited as she was about this. She had heard of some pretty crazy stories about the things that were in the forest... and the things deep deep into the forest.

"Hello Professor Myers. How about a peace lily, Maybe the dark forest would be too dark for it, though." She answered with a soft chuckle. Sure she probably just mentioned one of the most boring muggle, mundane plant of all time. But who cared. She did give a answer that no one else did.

Thereos... hello centaur.

Now they were getting ready to go into the forest. Gloves? check. Bucket? Well she was on her way to go grab one now. Her blue eyes looked around at the first years and the younger students. She was a older student now, she had to look out for her ickle puffs.

Yes.... FIRE SEEDS FIRAH

She really didn't pick a group per say unless someone just grabbed her she stayed in the middle as they walked and talked. Kat though that everyone's ideas were great really. "Would the fire seeds work under water?" She wasn't surer about all of the technicalities of fire seeds or their instabilities in water. "Could you use it to warm up water.. for like a hot tub or to take a hot bath?" Frozen water wouldn't work though cause the freezing charm cools them down, or maybe the water would get to hot for that. She just liked the idea.

So instead she just found herself standing next the transfer boy, Brent, because one he was older and two he was a boy and boys had a natural instinct to protect girls, didn't they? Not that she would ask him to.


With his wand clutched tightly in his hand, a slightly nervous/mostly excited Brent continued along the trail. Hearing the sound of a second male's voice, he looked over to see that a centaur had joined then, and he had apparently been with them for a while. Huh? How had Brent missed a centaur? He'd always thought the creatures were pretty cool, and this one seemed really nice and helpful. "Hello, Thereos," he said, hearing his name from another student.

Oh, hey--there was Olivia! Brent grinned at her and steered in her direction. "Thanks! The walk was getting kind of lame with nobody to talk to," he said. As excited as he was to be venturing into the Forbidden Forest, he was getting kind of bored with the whole walking part. Not only was Olivia near him now, but so was Skylar. "Well, if it isn't Miss Sarcastic herself?" he asked her with a smirk. "I'm just kidding. This walk just got a lot more fun." Plus, Olivia seemed to have a friend with her, so it was a small, little crowd of him and some girls!

First of all when did a centaur just appear all of a sudden?

Colt jumped and took his presence in. Well they were in a forest, creatures I guess just appear when they hear movement. Colt thought centaurs were pretty cool but they could be intimidating. He heard Professor Meyer address his question and he got a chuckle for the thumbs up. He did like his energy and enthusiasm he will give him that. Typical hufflepuff that is for sure. Now onto exploring more of the forest. He had to dodge a couple of branches and almost fall flat on his face because of stupid ingrown branches in the ground. Man they were going deep aren't they?

He heard the Professor Meyer talk about the fire seeds. He remembered learning about them somewhere. He heard Meyers asking what they could use the seeds for. Some kids gave some excellent yet clever answers like hot tubs, candies and bombs. He loved the bombs answer definitely. Yeah we would agree with the others on explosives absolutely. He saw other prefects made it and he was sure the first years were fine on their own. They didn't need his help. They were with the Professor and centaur. They were more than good.

He really couldn't. At least, he didn't think he couldn't. But he would try harder next time. No more disappointments from him.

Yay, it was time to go into the forest now. That was the part Olly was really excited for. He made sure to grab some gloves and pull them onto his hands before also picking up a bucket. What was that for? Were they going to pick some of the plants and plant them in the bucket perhaps? He didn't know else they could possibly put in there but he would carry it for now. And he was going to stick close to Professor Myers because he didn't know many of the prefects, and didn't really want to have to stick close to Rooney. So he made sure to stay just behind Professor Myers, making him one of the first people to plunge into the forest.

Fire seed bushes sounded cool. Olly tried very hard to remember everything about them. Explosive, used in potions, lived in the shade and apparently in caves. What would he make with the fire seed though? It was hard to think of something since he didn't exactly know much about them. But if they had explosive properties then there was one thing that came to mind. "Fireworks maybe." He didn't have to talk very loud since he was still closely following Professor Myers. Olly also glanced around at who else was near to see if they might be thinking the same thing. "If the fire seeds are explosive then they might be useful in making fireworks. But what makes the seeds explode? Fireworks have to go off at a certain time, you don't want them to explode while they're still sitting on the ground in front of you."


Paul turned around to walk backwards in order to reply to Oliver. “Fireworks are often a use that fire seeds actually go towards!” he grinned. He tripped over a tree root and almost fell, so he quickly turned back around.

Well.

Not doing that again!

“Well, once the seeds are harvested, they are less likely to randomly combust. And they make explosions increase TENFOLD...which is why they’d be a good addition to magical fireworks.” He grinned.

SPOILER!!: Nat

It started off rocky as well. There was just something about those type of boys that Nat was just pushed towards. So, of course, they became friends. Giving Ashley another look she walked over and grabbed a bucket. "Here I grabbed your bucket to Ashley." She had her gloves in her robes so she was good there as well.

Starting to walk she looked around. "Any other students wanting to walk close to me is fine." She, of course, would help the Professor and the Centaur as much as she could. "This is kind of interesting isn't it?" She looked towards Tim and James as they started before ducking her head and listening to the professor.

Fire Seeds? That was something she didn't expect to be going after. Wasn't that a bit dangerous? This really was going to be an exciting class. She knew Tim had to be excited. "Sir, aren't they good to bring more heat in a fire. So if I wanted to build a fire and get it to start I could use a fire seed or if it's already started I could use it to make it bigger or hotter."


YEP! Paul nodded. “You’re correct! Very good, Natalia!” he grinned. “They’re very good fire enhancers, to be honest.”

SPOILER!!: Katy

If she had her phials... and she always did... she could collect some samples for her own potions ingredient collection. That was assuming the professor wasn't watching too closely.

As for uses... basics, right? He didn't need to know her potions thoughts. "It would be a natural for a fireless heat source, sir. I mean, if you could figure out how to harness it safely and properly, it would be cleaner than electricity and more easy to replenish than peat or firewood or coal." At least, that was her thought now, but she wasn't sure how MUCH heat they gave off.


Paul smirked as he heard Katy’s answer and threw a thumbs up into the air. “That was a VERY GOOD ANSWER, Katy! I LOVE IT. Creative thinking! Do we have a future environmental ministry worker?” he grinned. “A point to YOU!”

SPOILER!!: Etta

She stared in wonder for a moment before the professor announced that they would be entering the forbidden forest. How exciting. This lesson was actually fun! She followed all the instructions before finally pulling out her wand from the inside of her pocket, her eyes still occasionally flicking towards the centaur.

"Aren't fire seeds used in potions? Uh.. potions that require a lot of heat, maybe?" Etta wasn't sure. Well, that wasn't a very good answer.. she frowned. Oh, well.


Paul grinned at the first year. “Yes, they are! Very good, Etta,” he chuckled. He couldn’t see them, he was still walking, but he knew their voices...for the most part. He might get Juno and Esme mixed up, though...but yeah. They were twins, and that was different.

SPOILER!!: Brent

The only thing that would make this better would be to have a group of friends to hang out with along the way. He really needed to work on that. Back at Ilvermorny, he'd always had a group to hang with, but he was basically just the new guy here. Brent secured his gloves onto his hands then grabbed a metal bucket.

Seeing as he most definitely wanted to light his wand, he reached toward his holster, retrieved the wand, and casted a quick, "Lumos!" He'd gotten so caught up in the excitement of going into the forest that he forgot they were actually making suggestions about plants. So they were heading into some fire seed caves! YEAH! This sounded pretty cool and just the adventure Brent had been looking for.

...and then there was a question that required thought...and a lot of it at that. Brent listened to the leaves crunching beneath his feet as he rolled over some ideas in his head. "Can we roast marshmallows over them!?" he asked. He didn't bother raising his hand, since the professor was walking ahead of him anyway and had said to call out answers.


HA! Paul laughed and turned his head over his shoulder. “Brent, yeah?” he laughed more. “I like THAT idea, m’boy!” because who didn’t like roasted marshmallows?

SPOILER!!: Thereos

Some of them told him hello, and again, he merely nodded in response except for one child human proclaiming that he was a centaur. Thereos let his gaze rest on the boy’s. “Yes, I am a centaur.” He was glad to see the small human’s had working optical organs. However, considering the boy had asked his name, and Professor Myers was now introducing him, he stepped forward slightly and bowed. “Thereos.”

They were starting off into the confines of the forest. Thereos gazed upward once more before entering the forest, making sure to keep close to the smaller of the small humans. A few of them seemed fearful, and Thereos thought the fear was misguided, but he would do his best to diminish it.

“Professor Myer’s, veer slightly to left. You’re going too far right for the caves,” he said loudly. Unless the humans wanted to run into a nasty bit of business, they should probably follow his directions. His fingers rested on the bow and quiver strung over his shoulder.


AHHH!

Paul went, “WHOOOOPS!” and followed Thereos’ directions. And THAT RIGHT THERE is why he asked Thereos to accompany them, thank MERLIN! “Thank you so much, Thereos!” he grinned.

SPOILER!!: Olivia Holden

New Zealanders and Aussies had to stick together, y'know? Listening to the Professor's response to her question, she nodded. Ah. Oh well. It was a good guess nonetheless! Thereos would be joining them? That was really sweet. Olivia smiled and nodded to the centaur, bowing her head slightly in respect to him. Respect was important especially around these magnificent creatures. She took her wand out and cast lumos so that she could see the ground so that no one tripped. Knowing her luck, she was bound to trip eventually.

They were off to the fire seed caves? Woah. This would be definitely enlightening. She had never been in a fire seed cave before. What was it? And they were explosive? That was kind of cool in it's own special way. What could these seeds be used for? Well fire implied warm and they were used in potions. She thought she had seen that listed somewhere. Hmm... Maybe they could be used to keep something warm? To the Professor's question, she wondered if a muggle invention could use them suitably. Perhaps. However, she heard Brent's reply first and smiled. Roasting marshmallows would be cool! She liked that idea. But.. Wait a sec. Was Brent walking alone? What? He shouldn't be walking alone! Walking alone (well not entirely alone as there were other students yet still..) wasn't fun, especially in the Forbidden Forest. "Brent!" she whispered, waving to him with a small smile. "Wanna come walk with us?"

Now to the Professor. "Could you use them as hand-warmers or foot-warmers?" she offered. "But how could you regulate the temperature to make sure they aren't too hot that they burn something or someone."


Awww. Paul thought this was such a cute answer. He chuckled. “Ahhh, yes, perhaps, Olivia…” he chuckled.

SPOILER!!: Slate

He grabbed a bucket as instructed and followed the class into the woods. He imagined that close was a loose term and he was allowed to just casually observe the horse person. That was his plan anyway. It was weird. It did not compute. It talked. Weird. Did everything talk here? It seemed that way.

Then the teacher asked a question. "Plant it and make more fire bush plants." he answered vaguely.

Did those horse things have horse shoes?


….well then.

Paul actually turned around again to see which first year had said it--because yes, he KNEW it was a first year. Hmm. A new little Slytherin, Slate, right? Slytherin Slate. “...You’re not WRONG.” Pfffft. Cue unimpressed look.

Before he turned back around, he saw Jonas being quiet, and he wondered if the boy had nothing to add? Paul sent him a smile to encourage him.

And his answer was a good one! He'd straightened up slightly, proud of himself for having a correct and INTERESTING answer. Interesting was good, no? In Ambrose's opinion interesting was good at least.

Quickly, Ambrose had moved to collect one of the buckets in question, looking around. He didn't actually know any of the prefects, before practically bouncing back to where Professor Myers was standing, still vibrating with excitement at the idea of entering the forest! With a centaur too! Laurel would've loved to see this! Being nearby the professor meant that not only should he technically be safe, but also that he didn't actually need to light his own wand up, which was pretty good because while he'd been working on that spell it didn't exactly always work...

Now what could those be used for?

Ambrose shrugged his shoulders, listening to the answers of other students.


Another quiet one! Paul managed to smile at her too---tripped slightly, and figured he should get the hang of the backward walking thing many teachers could do while leading a class.

Sorry Professor Myers, but priorities okay?


………”Charlotte, you like Thereos more than me?” he teased her, and he cracked up before stopping, looking around for a moment, and then continuing on.

He thought he had heard something >.>

Goodness could they not have had warning about the cool things they might see today?? Cause she had a feeling even though she might die, she might be eaten by some super amazing creature which would make her death worthwhile?

What was Myers even on about? Fire seed caves? Fire bushes? How was he still asking them questions instead of taking on everything around him? Probably cause this wasn't his first time in the forest like herself ....

"An explosive drink." she was thirsty, okay and totally forgot to hydrate with extra water today. No one told her they would be walking through a forest. Okay maybe they did, but she was still thirsty. And it was related cause exploding things and fire!

An explosive drink? Hattie glanced to look at her friend, and raised an eyebrow. "Would it explode when you drank it? Cause that wouldn't be good right?" She murmured, a little unsure of what good an exploding drink would be. She thought of her own answer to the question though.

"Could you use them to maintain a fire? like through a period of time.... and then you wouldn't have to keep looking for wood to keep a fire going"

I think I've seen a candy like that, so like what about a drink." Sky clarified. Truth be told she wasn't a hundred percent sure about it, but she thought she saw something advertised once about it.


A drink? Paul chuckled. “A fiery DRINK?” and then of course Hattie had a logical response, and he was even more amused. “Like... I think I know what you mean, Skylar, but..” he grinned. “And yes, Hattie, that’d be correct!”

As the tip of her wand began to emit a ray of light, she let out a sigh. Being able to see where one was going was essential.

As the group walked, Janelle heard another question being posed. She figured she'd better come up with an answer for this one, so she began to think. What would she make with fire seeds? Finally, a thought came to her. Seeing as this probably wasn't a hand raising situation, Janelle just shouted out her answer. "I think I would use my fire seeds to make a poison antidote potion." By some divine intervention, Janelle had remembered that fire seeds were used in antidotes for uncommon poisons. Yes, that's what she would use them for.


Paul nodded at Janelle. “Very good, Janelle!” He thought he had read that somewhere, too. Only certain poisons, though.

SPOILER!!: Katherine

Oh, a centaur was here to guide them! Katherine clearly perked up - first time seeing a live centaur, after all - and bowed at him gracefully. She wished she could have a chat, but they were having a lesson here and she doubted he'd hang out later just for her.

...what if she entered the forest later, on her own? Or with Haddie - the girl would definitely come, and maybe Callum since he was a clever Gryffindor. Yeeeeeah... she'd think about it. For now, she put on her gloves, lit up her wand and grabbed a bucket with her free hand, then ran a little to be in the first rank that followed the professor to...

Fire seed caves! Katherine was glad she attended this class. Listening extra carefully (Professor didn't really say anything she hadn't already known) she thought about the question. WHAT would she use it for...

"They can be used as a permanent source of light and heat in closed areas - like in the dungeons." Professor Newton should consider this, actually.



Paul turned and smiled at Katherine. “Yes, yes indeed. Just would have to find a way to contain them so no one accidentally touches them or anything.” Probably wouldn’t be that hard, though.

SPOILER!!: Alice

"Well, Professor You said it had explosive properties.. So if you knew how to control those you could make something similar to Dynamite? The muggle explosive? Maybe it would be more stable than nitroglycerin?" She wasn't sure... but what she knew from TV and moves was that nitroglycerin made Dynamite very unstable.


...heh. Paul grinned as he heard Alice. “WELLLLL of course, Miss Lupin, of course.” Very interesting considering the rumors that surrounded the plant. He wouldn’t go into them, but yes, interesting…

Also, he never thought he’d hear the term “nitroglycerin” in a lesson ever, so kudos to you, Alice!

Hmm, what wouldn't Tim make with fire seeds? "I'd probably make a potion that can catch anything on fire. Including metal or glass. But for emergency purposes only," Merlin knew not many people could be trusted with something like that. Maybe not even Tim herself. Like if someone was out exploring on mountains or a forest. But what if a witch or wizard loses their wand and needs to make a fire? Maybe that potion can come in handy somehow.


Hmm. Paul smirked a bit. “Why would you want to do that, Miss Finch? Ehhhh?” he teased. Some of these children were such pyromaniacs. It was funny. Also concerning, but eh.

To be fair she had nothing to offer to the conversation as it was but was quite happy to absorb the answers of her peers...


A quiet one! Paul didn’t mind quiet as long as they were paying attention!

SPOILER!!: Henry

"Good day, sir," he finally returned the greeting with a grin, trying to be respectful. But did Alice see this? They thought they might have see one from a distance the other day, but here was one up close and ready to lead the class into the forest. Coolest class ever.

He caught sight of Alice's familiar red hair, just as another girl pulled her over to join her group, but he sidled up next to her anyway after he grabbed his own bucket. "Fire seed caves sound awesome, don't they?" he grinned at her, just before lighting his wand. "Want to walk in with me?" Or her group of friends would be alright too, but he wanted to offer. Sounded fun to him. And Professor Paul had a lot of questions for them to answer about fire seed bushes, but no time to think on that just yet. They were walking into the Forbidden Forest, and that was all sorts of exciting!


And nothing from Henry, either? Paul wanted some more answers here!

(But really it was okay.)

SPOILER!!: Rooney

Rooney gave her a smile when she gave her own answer to the question, fighting the urge to clap for her and announce once more than this was HIS GIRL.

The Ravenclaw offered a smile to the centaur that joined them, a little wary given past happenings with the species and the nightmares that happened afterwards.

Giving Liv's hand a squeeze, Rooney went to grab them both a bucket before returning to her and raising a hand in the air. "Prefect over here if you're a first year!" For the rest of them, he didn't really have any affection for and figured that they would all be too self involved and run straight on in without a thought for what could be around. THAT was how students got into trouble in the forest -- had they not realised that yet? He planned to walk closer to the back of the herd, just so that Liv wasn't caught up in a crowd and he could get her back out if he needed to. And save her if something went wrong.

Priorities were Olivia Phillips.

Rooney had nothing to add about what he would make, given that his initial thoughts were to something of explosive properties...and then to accidental explosions and his father and...others.... Yes, it was not something that he needed to keep thinking on, so he let himself listen to others and keeping Olivia and their buckets close by.


SILENCE FROM ROONEY BRONWYN WAS VERY SHOCKING. WOW. It was lucky that Paul heard Kitty speak or he would have commented on it.

SPOILER!!: Kitty

But she was a prefect and had a responsibility to the younger students and to her teacher. Terrified or not, she'd have to do this and hope that she didn't panic in the middle of the forest. If she wasn't so scared she might have laughed at Rooney's answer to the professor's question, but right now all she could think of were giant man eating plants, twisted hands of a hag, and spiders lurking just out of sight. "Just don't think about it, just don't think about it," she muttered under her breath, shivering slightly with fear.

One thing that did manage to distract her, at least a little, was the appearance of a centaur. This was the first time Kitty had ever seen a centaur face to face. "Hello sir," she greeted him respectfully, ogling his strange body, hoping he wouldn't mind.

Then it was the hour of truth. Kitty very carefully put on a pair of gloves and took a bucket, then she took off after the class. Her first instinct was to cling as close as possible to Paul as she could - if she had her way she'd almost be holding his hand. But that would be embarrassing and she had duties as a prefect. So instead she found a group of first years and hung close to them.

While watching the first years she answered the professor's next question, only vaguely aware of her companions answers. "Probably I'd use them for the same thing that Katherine would. I hate bombs and dynamite and all those things that explode, but permanent lights would always be useful. Plus, kind of stylish if you consider where they come from."

Just keep breathing...


“Stylish, too, if you can decorate whatever you use to encase them,” he grinned. “Interesting, Kitty.”

SPOILER!!: Leon

No offense or anything Professor Meyers..

He tilted his head as he heard what they were going to do for the lesson and he smiled a bit.. fire seeds eh? Sounded cool to him.

The seventh year got this gloves out and picked up a bucket and started to wak into the Forest with the rest of the class, hanging back just a bit to make sure there were no stragglers.. Lost firsties in the forest? Not on his watch!

He lit his wand tip with a soft Lumos and started to walk.. and he noticed Kitty with a bunch of first years and yet seeming to have some trouble herself with being in the forest.

"It's okay Kitty. " The 7th year said as he walked next to her.. "I'll walk with you all right? " Hopefully that would be of some comfort, yeah?

As for Professor Meyers question.. "I'd make some sort of candy, so when you suck on it, it would warm you up! " Because that would be pretty helpful actually.


Heh, Paul smirked. “That sounds quite nice.” And then he decided he’d move on before he said...something.

Ahem.

Professor here. PROFESSOR.

SPOILER!!: Olivia Phillips

Comforted by Rooney's loving words, Olivia inched just a smidgen closer to her boyfriend; eyes trained on the Forbidden Forest's treeline. She was experiencing this strange mix of adrenaline and chilling fear; fear of dark spaces where she wouldn't be able to see if someone were attempting to creep up on her. With that thought, the blonde gripped Rooney's hand more tightly. In regards to her classmates, the Gryffindor didn't give a fig if they had anything to say about the hand-holding. She honestly didn't care about the opinions of others. At least that was still true.

To try and keep her nerves in check, Liv focused on the information her favorite professor (aside from Prince Erik, STILL TRUE) was excitedly spewing. Professor Myers was such a lively man. It warmed her heart, to be honest. While her her favorite person collected their buckets, she offered another answer. There wasn't much thinking to be done about it. She simply enjoyed participating in his lessons and would always try to. In addition, getting correct answers gave some of her confidence back. "How about in candy? ...Spicy chocolate or fireball lollies. To amp up heat? Or to add a danger element...." That was probably similar to any potions responses, but... Well, Liv's mind always flew to food. Even if she'd not been eating that well lately.

...but also, million galleon idea? Wizards could be extreme. So, it really didn't seem that far fetched to her. Maybe they could be soaked in some type of solution before being made into candy that would protect against someone having their head explode...

Without further thought, and her heart in her throat, she followed the rest of her classmates into the dangerous, O M I N O U S forest.


Paul made and OOOOOHHH sound. “Spicy CHOCOLATE. I LOVE it, Olivia!” he chortled. If anyone could make that work, it’d probably be her, too.

Seems the forest around them wasn't the only dangerous place they'd be going into.

"I'd want fire seeds if I was ever traveling in yeti territory. It'd mean a way to give fires an extra boost and hopefully keep them away."


Heh. “Wow, Junia, yes, grand idea that is!” Paul had never run into a yeti ever before in his life, and he definitely wanted to keep it that way, thanks. He also wasn’t a huge fan of the cold. Or snow.

It was lucky they lived in Italy but most times Paul experienced the harsh weather that was SCOTLAND since he taught at bloody HOGWARTS.

As for the actual entering of the Forbidden Forest she was ready when Professor Myers spoke up once more to get the group’s attention before he led them on. Grateful she wasn’t a first year that needed t directly trail anyone on this little adventure, the fourth year made sure she had what was needed.

Gloves…check.

Bucket…check once she moved to the nearest available one and leaned down to pick it up.

Supplies to take any notes she might want to at some point…check, check.

“Lumos,” Cass cast, lighting her wand as a safety precaution if nothing else. Then once she was sure she was all set, the Ravenclaw followed both the professor and the students who started off before her. Fire seed plants!! Of course. A plant that has flames living in the dark damp caves within the forest. Hearing Katherine’s suggestion, she had to admit, that had been kinda what she had been thinking in terms of usage for the fire seeds, Kitty apparently agreeing as well. “Maybe use them as outdoor lighting and heat, especially during chilly nights.”


Outdoor heating! Paul smiled. "I bet it'd feel nice during the winter, yes. And we could ROAST MARSHMALLOWS as Brent said!" Paul didn't remember if it was Brent or Kane who had said it; he was getting them a little confused every so often.

KANE was in his house thought >.> So he should have known!

SPOILER!!: James

James didn't like to pick up anything when someone told him to. Besides how many ugly metal buckets were there at the front? Urgh. Having no choice at the matter, he picked one up before swinging it over his shoulder and followed the rest of the ugly metal buckets gang. Then he noticed this one first year kid wearing somekind of armour over his little body. What the-? He couldn't hold back his laughter. Man...kids these days. James gave a look back at Tim...what now? He rolled his eyes at and responded to Nat instead,"Yeah, it is. Wonder where the caves at."

Fire seeds? Easy, he would use them to make some kind of healing potion but someone already answered that. "Maybe use them as a distraction to get away. Like a decoy for escape. You throw fire seeds at your enemies." James chuckled because really that yeti answer was kind of funny. He wanted to add more to that.


OOooooh! “Interesting answer, James, do you plan on running away from any enemies any time soon? Ehhh?” he laughed.

SPOILER!!: Charlie

Charlie didn't like getting answers wrong, and she felt her cheeks get a little hot. She nodded and smiled at Professor Paul to be polite, and kept quiet after that. After all, she couldn't get any answers wrong if she wasn't talking at all. She should really keep to this way of thinking more often.

Now, though, they were going into the forest. Oh boy. The chills that ran through her contrasted nicely with the heat on her face. She made sure to slip on her gloves before going to grab one of the metal buckets, then trotted to catch up with the group. In light of the instructions to stick by someone if you were a first year, the girl trailed behind Kitty, because she was her prefect and also very nice (The shame of answering a question wrong put Professor Paul out of the running, anyhow).

Fire seed caves? Wow, Hogwarts had everything. And then, the professor asked another question: What would she use the seeds for? Charlie wasn't exactly sure, and she wasn't about to embarrass herself by answering with uncertainty again (Maybe she'd try again next class). However, she pondered the question anyway, and made sure to look like she was doing so. Hmm.... Weren't they very hot? They could be used for cooking something that needed the heat in a pinch, as opposed to taking a longer time.

Charlie considered calling out her answer, as it actually seemed quite good, but that's what she thought about the previous one. It would do her good to keep her lips sealed.


...Quiet first year! Paul smiled at her encouragingly.

SPOILER!!: Blaise

He didn't know about anyone else, but an acromantula sighting wouldn't have been totally off the table for him. Could you imagine the story that'd make for??

The idea alone had him looking in all directions as they walked. Something had to happen, anything. This Gryffindor was certainly not picky.

That whole discussion the Professor was asking for? It went right over his head. Blaise was much too busy giving in to his curiosity where the forest was concerned. Of course he didn't stray from the group and he was keeping up as well as anyone else might have but he was gazing. No way could he really pay attention when there was potentially so much to see.

Brown eyes temporarily fell on the centaur who informed them they were heading in something of a wrong direction. It kinda reminded him of the million galleon question he asked earlier as it related to Myers being allowed to lead them through here but still no complaints here. Nope.


He saw Blaise looking around curiously, and he kind of felt happy that at least the child seemed intrigued. He supposed Blaise wasn’t much of a CHILD anymore, though. He was...a fifth year. Why did students grow up quickly? Didn’t they know he didn’t have children and therefore ALLLLLL the parental feels went semi-towards them? Downright rude.

SPOILER!!: Kat

"Would the fire seeds work under water?" She wasn't surer about all of the technicalities of fire seeds or their instabilities in water. "Could you use it to warm up water.. for like a hot tub or to take a hot bath?" Frozen water wouldn't work though cause the freezing charm cools them down, or maybe the water would get to hot for that. She just liked the idea.


Hmm. “Well, I don’t think that would work, actually, and you’ll eventually know why!” he beamed, though.

SPOILER!!: Colt

Colt jumped and took his presence in. Well they were in a forest, creatures I guess just appear when they hear movement. Colt thought centaurs were pretty cool but they could be intimidating. He heard Professor Meyer address his question and he got a chuckle for the thumbs up. He did like his energy and enthusiasm he will give him that. Typical hufflepuff that is for sure. Now onto exploring more of the forest. He had to dodge a couple of branches and almost fall flat on his face because of stupid ingrown branches in the ground. Man they were going deep aren't they?

He heard the Professor Meyer talk about the fire seeds. He remembered learning about them somewhere. He heard Meyers asking what they could use the seeds for. Some kids gave some excellent yet clever answers like hot tubs, candies and bombs. He loved the bombs answer definitely. Yeah we would agree with the others on explosives absolutely. He saw other prefects made it and he was sure the first years were fine on their own. They didn't need his help. They were with the Professor and centaur. They were more than good.


He saw Colt walking and being quiet, and honestly, he didn't mind. Perhaps Thereos was more of a distraction than he had originally anticipated....



“AaaaAAAAaaAAAND we are getting close!” Paul grinned. It had started off semi-lit in their walk...but as they kept walking, it was getting darker...and darker...until literally the ONLY lights they could see was from their wands. The sound of Thereos’ hooves on the ground was very nice to hear, to be honest, when this deep in the forest.

And they walked.

And they walked.

And Paul was very close to asking Thereos in a WHINY voice whether they were there yet when….he did see them. The caves. A pair of caves. “SOOO before we enter...I would like to go over what we will actually be DOING,” he grinned as he turned around to face them. He put his LUMOS’d wand under his chin so he resembled someone telling a scary story at a campfire. “Fire seed bushes don’t actually have leaves!” Well DUH Professor Myers! “We will be harvesting the seeds from THIS CAVE--” he pointed to the one right behind him, “And planting some in THAT cave--” and then pointed to the one next to it. “Both of these caves used to have many fire seed bushes inside--but all of the ones from that cave have been wiped out. SOOO I figured we could just...have a bit of fun practice with dealing with these plants.”

Deep breath. More directions. “Everyone LISTEN carefully to your instructions. I don’t want any burn injuries, please!” Because it was important they PAY ATTENTION or else they’d do it ALLLLL wrong. But Paul had a trick up his sleeve.

“First step! Wearing gloves! Everyone should NOW put on your gloves!” Paul even did so, but he gave his wand a wave and his words began appearing in fiery letters in midair. “Before we can put the seeds in the buckets..we need to HEAT the buckets or else they’ll extinguish. There is a very specific charm that will heat your bucket for you called the Chaudensis Charm!” he grinned. “It is pronounced CHAW-DEN-SIS...and the movement is a rotation with VERY light wrist movement, do NOT move your entire arm.” Very important.”

“Before we actually go IN and I give you steps. We are going to PRACTICE the charm, understand? Doing this charm even slightly wrong can be disastrous. I want you all to practice wand movement AND saying it. Not at the same time. It WILL burn you or others if you do it WRONG.” He wanted them VERY much to be aware of it. “I will be on hand if anything goes awry.” Like exploding.......buckets or something.

Now. To figure out what to do about BLAISE. "Bellaire, come here!" Paul called out.


OOC: For now, we're just practicing the spell. Wand movement and words. There is time to catch up if you wanna jump in/catch up! I'm really gonna' try to move us on in 24 hours but it might be SLIIIIIGHTLY more because I've got a busy day. <3
Incantation: Chaudensis Charm (CHAW-DEN-SIS)
Wand Movement: rotation of the wrist alone

Then a Wild Henry appeared! Which of course made Alice smile.. There were those baby blues and pearly whites again. "Hi, Henry..You can walk with us?" She didn't think Tim would mind. I mean what kind of wing woman would she be if she didn't want this nice, cute, sweet adorable puffer to walk with them? "The look super awesome, by the way. The caves, and the Centaur!!" She whispered that last bit cause she didn't wanna seem like she was talking about him behind his back.

Well.

Not doing that again!

“Well, once the seeds are harvested, they are less likely to randomly combust. And they make explosions increase TENFOLD...which is why they’d be a good addition to magical fireworks.” He grinned.



YEP! Paul nodded. “You’re correct! Very good, Natalia!” he grinned. “They’re very good fire enhancers, to be honest.”



Paul smirked as he heard Katy’s answer and threw a thumbs up into the air. “That was a VERY GOOD ANSWER, Katy! I LOVE IT. Creative thinking! Do we have a future environmental ministry worker?” he grinned. “A point to YOU!”



Paul grinned at the first year. “Yes, they are! Very good, Etta,” he chuckled. He couldn’t see them, he was still walking, but he knew their voices...for the most part. He might get Juno and Esme mixed up, though...but yeah. They were twins, and that was different.



HA! Paul laughed and turned his head over his shoulder. “Brent, yeah?” he laughed more. “I like THAT idea, m’boy!” because who didn’t like roasted marshmallows?



AHHH!

Paul went, “WHOOOOPS!” and followed Thereos’ directions. And THAT RIGHT THERE is why he asked Thereos to accompany them, thank MERLIN! “Thank you so much, Thereos!” he grinned.



Awww. Paul thought this was such a cute answer. He chuckled. “Ahhh, yes, perhaps, Olivia…” he chuckled.



….well then.

Paul actually turned around again to see which first year had said it--because yes, he KNEW it was a first year. Hmm. A new little Slytherin, Slate, right? Slytherin Slate. “...You’re not WRONG.” Pfffft. Cue unimpressed look.



Before he turned back around, he saw Jonas being quiet, and he wondered if the boy had nothing to add? Paul sent him a smile to encourage him.



Another quiet one! Paul managed to smile at her too---tripped slightly, and figured he should get the hang of the backward walking thing many teachers could do while leading a class.



………”Charlotte, you like Thereos more than me?” he teased her, and he cracked up before stopping, looking around for a moment, and then continuing on.

He thought he had heard something >.>

SPOILER!!: Skylar and Hattie






A drink? Paul chuckled. “A fiery DRINK?” and then of course Hattie had a logical response, and he was even more amused. “Like... I think I know what you mean, Skylar, but..” he grinned. “And yes, Hattie, that’d be correct!”



Paul nodded at Janelle. “Very good, Janelle!” He thought he had read that somewhere, too. Only certain poisons, though.



Paul turned and smiled at Katherine. “Yes, yes indeed. Just would have to find a way to contain them so no one accidentally touches them or anything.” Probably wouldn’t be that hard, though.

SPOILER!!: Alice
[/ALICE]

...heh. Paul grinned as he heard Alice. “WELLLLL of course, Miss Lupin, of course.” Very interesting considering the rumors that surrounded the plant. He wouldn’t go into them, but yes, interesting…

Also, he never thought he’d hear the term “nitroglycerin” in a lesson ever, so kudos to you, Alice!



Hmm. Paul smirked a bit. “Why would you want to do that, Miss Finch? Ehhhh?” he teased. Some of these children were such pyromaniacs. It was funny. Also concerning, but eh.

[SPOILER]Miranda]


A quiet one! Paul didn’t mind quiet as long as they were paying attention!



And nothing from Henry, either? Paul wanted some more answers here!

(But really it was okay.)



SILENCE FROM ROONEY BRONWYN WAS VERY SHOCKING. WOW. It was lucky that Paul heard Kitty speak or he would have commented on it.



“Stylish, too, if you can decorate whatever you use to encase them,” he grinned. “Interesting, Kitty.”



Heh, Paul smirked. “That sounds quite nice.” And then he decided he’d move on before he said...something.

Ahem.

Professor here. PROFESSOR.



Paul made and OOOOOHHH sound. “Spicy CHOCOLATE. I LOVE it, Olivia!” he chortled. If anyone could make that work, it’d probably be her, too.



Heh. “Wow, Junia, yes, grand idea that is!” Paul had never run into a yeti ever before in his life, and he definitely wanted to keep it that way, thanks. He also wasn’t a huge fan of the cold. Or snow.

It was lucky they lived in Italy but most times Paul experienced the harsh weather that was SCOTLAND since he taught at bloody HOGWARTS.



Another quiet one, and that was okay!



OOooooh! “Interesting answer, James, do you plan on running away from any enemies any time soon? Ehhh?” he laughed.



...Quiet first year! Paul smiled at her encouragingly.

SPOILER!!: Blaise



He saw Blaise looking around curiously, and he kind of felt happy that at least the child seemed intrigued. He supposed Blaise wasn’t much of a CHILD anymore, though. He was...a fifth year. Why did students grow up quickly? Didn’t they know he didn’t have children and therefore ALLLLLL the parental feels went semi-towards them? Downright rude.



Hmm. “Well, I don’t think that would work, actually, and you’ll eventually know why!” he beamed, though.



He saw Colt walking and being quiet, and honestly, he didn't mind. Perhaps Thereos was more of a distraction than he had originally anticipated....



“AaaaAAAAaaAAAND we are getting close!” Paul grinned. It had started off semi-lit in their walk...but as they kept walking, it was getting darker...and darker...until literally the ONLY lights they could see was from their wands. The sound of Thereos’ hooves on the ground was very nice to hear, to be honest, when this deep in the forest.

And they walked.

And they walked.

And Paul was very close to asking Thereos in a WHINY voice whether they were there yet when….he did see them. The caves. A pair of caves. “SOOO before we enter...I would like to go over what we will actually be DOING,” he grinned as he turned around to face them. He put his LUMOS’d wand under his chin so he resembled someone telling a scary story at a campfire. “Fire seed bushes don’t actually have leaves!” Well DUH Professor Myers! “We will be harvesting the seeds from THIS CAVE--” he pointed to the one right behind him, “And planting some in THAT cave--” and then pointed to the one next to it. “Both of these caves used to have many fire seed bushes inside--but all of the ones from that cave have been wiped out. SOOO I figured we could just...have a bit of fun practice with dealing with these plants.”

Deep breath. More directions. “Everyone LISTEN carefully to your instructions. I don’t want any burn injuries, please!” Because it was important they PAY ATTENTION or else they’d do it ALLLLL wrong. But Paul had a trick up his sleeve.

“First step! Wearing gloves! Everyone should NOW put on your gloves!” Paul even did so, but he gave his wand a wave and his words began appearing in fiery letters in midair. “Before we can put the seeds in the buckets..we need to HEAT the buckets or else they’ll extinguish. There is a very specific charm that will heat your bucket for you called the Chaudensis Charm!” he grinned. “It is pronounced CHAW-DEN-SIS...and the movement is a rotation with VERY light wrist movement, do NOT move your entire arm.” Very important.”

“Before we actually go IN and I give you steps. We are going to PRACTICE the charm, understand? Doing this charm even slightly wrong can be disastrous. I want you all to practice wand movement AND saying it. Not at the same time. It WILL burn you or others if you do it WRONG.” He wanted them VERY much to be aware of it. “I will be on hand if anything goes awry.” Like exploding.......buckets or something.

Now. To figure out what to do about BLAISE. "Bellaire, come here!" Paul called out.


OOC: For now, we're just practicing the spell. Wand movement and words. There is time to catch up if you wanna jump in/catch up! I'm really gonna' try to move us on in 24 hours but it might be SLIIIIIGHTLY more because I've got a busy day. <3
Incantation: Chaudensis Charm (CHAW-DEN-SIS)
Wand Movement: rotation of the wrist alone


Right... Okay.. Moving the seeds from one cave to another. But first she had to practice it. "Chaw-Den-Sis!" She said excitedly without doing the movement. Hmm.. Then she tried to move just her wrist without saying the words... Hmmm. This was a weird spell. But she would do her best to master it.. Or you know maybe not. Maybe she'd accidentally blow some stuff up. OOOPS.

To be honest, Zara was a little more than terrified from the moment she had stepped into the forest. She had put on her bravest face she could and stayed as close to Professor Myers and Thereos as she could without really hovering or getting in the way. When she wasn’t walking close to them, she was just as close to an older student. She wasn’t going to risk being lost in the forest!

With the bucket gripped tightly in her hands, she focused completely on following closely and staying on course. As they continued deeper into the forest, her nerves started to get to her and she quickened her steps to keep up. She was not liking the darkness of the forest at all and wanted to just get to where ever they were going.

With each announcement of how close they were getting, she slowly began to calm down. The reassurance was something she needed before her nerves get the best of her. The moment they arrived at the caves, she sighed in relief and focused on the instructions given to them.

Setting the bucket down, she pulled out her gloves and placed them on her hands. Giving each gloved hand and looking over, she took a breath to calm herself before she turned her attention to the bucket again. Reaching for her wand, she slowly started to slowly rotate her wrist as instructed. The first few attempts seem to be more of a motion of her hand, but after a good few minutes, she managed to control her movements and just rotated her wrist with not really extreme movement of her hand or arm.

Happy with her wand movement, she returned her wand to its rightful place as she started to think about the incantation. In her head, she thought of the word and recited it slowly in her mind. CHAW-DEN-SIS...CHAW-DEN-SIS…. Once she was comfortable with reciting it to herself, she softly started to speak the incantation aloud. "CHAW-DEN-SIS"

So plants wiped out in one cave, and they were planting new ones back in that cave.

Seemed easy enough. He quickly pulled his gloves onto his hands to get ready for what it was that they were going to be doing.

Now to move onto the whole getting ready to do the spell. And actually trying to do the spell. But at least for now it was only just practice, and that was something that Ambrose could probably do. Watching the professor intently, he'd mimicked the movement of the wrist without actually holding his wand.

Grabbing his wand, the Hufflepuff tried to mimic the soft wrist rotation once again. Hopefully, that was right. The movement felt a bit unnatural though, and Ambrose wasn't sure whether or not it was because he hadn't learnt a lot of spells up until now. Just for ease of his mind he tried the movement a few more times, hoping that it would feel a bit more natural.

Now... on to the speaking part.

"Chaw-den-sis," he repeated slowly. That bit felt easy. He hoped he wasn't just deluding himself.

Olly was pleased that his answer had been a reasonable one, even if it hadn't been creative enough to earn him points. But the answer to his question did not really help. In fact, it just made him more confused. "What makes them explode then? Is there a spell?"

As they went further into the forest it grew darker and darker. Olly took out his wand and whispered "Lumos." That was better. After a while Olly's feet were gstarting to hurt, but he was trying not to complain. He kept telling himself they would be there soon. Soon. Soon? When they finally did make it he breathed an audible sigh of relief. He shifted from side to side, trying to take the pressure off his feet, as he listened to the instructions. They were going to be moving some seeds from one cave to the over. That didn't sound too hard. But the prospect of explosions and burns was a bit worrying. Olly quickly put on his gloves as he was instructed.

Okay, a spell. A very dangerous spell apparently. He definitely didn't want to burn anyone else, or get burned from someone else. He would practice and really try to focus. The wand movement didn't seem to hard, and he worked on that first. Move only the wrist. It took a few tries but eventually he got the hang of not making the movement too big. When he was satisfied with that he could practice saying the spell. "Chaw-den-sis." He drew out each of the syllables the first time. That wasn't too difficult. "Chawdensis."

She had put her wand out and made it light as they got further and further into the forest. She couldn't help but look all over as they walked. Her mind so focused on what they could find or run into that she didn't even notice two other people joining them until she heard talking going on. "Hi Henry." She gave the Hufflepuff a smile and then turned her eyes on Alice. She had seen the girl a few times and knew she hung ou
with Tim, but she had never really spoken to her. "Hello, welcome to our little group." That was probably super corny but Nat didn't care. She was just happy to be out of a classroom and not behind a book.

Her eyes looking towards James as he spoke, but her thoughts to him were interrupted when the directions were starting to be given. Taking her gloves out of her robes pocket she placed them on. "Like this" She showed Ashley and made sure to be available if anyone else would need her. They were going to harvest and replant these seeds. That seemed a bit dangerous for the younger students, but if he thought i t was good then of course it was good.

Now that she had her gloves on she pulled out her wand to practice the wand movement first. Getting that down exactly the way it was needed she moved on to trying the word; "Chaudensis", that didn't seem that hard. Maybe some just weren't very good at doing it at the same time.

☆ Always Potterhead ☆ SSRPG Addict ☆ Coffee Addict ☆

If Nero was scared, he didn't show it much. He knew how infamous is the Forbidden Forest and now, as a first year student, he was in it. He clutched the handle of his bucket, felt cold sweat down his back as it got darker the deeper they got into the forest. He sped up his pace to be as close as possible to Professor Myers, Thereos and several other students.

He was getting tired from both brisk walking and nerves. When Professor Myers suddenly turned around with an eerie face thanks to the light he produced, he screamed. It was more in shock than fear, really. He managed to calm himself down while the teacher was giving instructions. He put down his bucket, took out his gloves and put them on. He then retrieved his wand as he watched Myers demonstrating. Rotate just the wrist, not the whole arm. Note to self: You could potentially kill someone if it goes wrong. He repeated the movement Myers did a few times.

After he was confident with the wand movement, Nero moved on to practice the incantation. He cleared his throat before saying it loud and clear. "Ch- Chau-den-sees". Well, that didn't sound right...

Katherine listened to the answers, and there was none she couldn't have guessed already. She was unaware of Kitty's discomfort who was walking close by, because when she didn't follow something specific, her mind wandered off to places. She walked and walked with the professor in silence, until...

Ahhhh, they had arrived.

Once again her attention was solely on Professor Myers and she watched him closely - although he didn't... demonstrate the wand movement? Huh. "Chaudensis. Chaudensis. Chaudensis," she whispered to herself, and once she thought she had the incantation right, she practised the wand movement in the way that was explained. Once she thought she had both alright (she HAD already studied these over summer, so she didn't really need to practise much), she stopped to watch her classmates and see if anyone needed help.

Once they had begun walking, Elle had lapsed into silence. All the better to hear what was happening around her, so she wasn’t depending entirely on Professor Myers and Thereos. She had lit the end of her wand quietly as soon as the trees had begun blocking out more of the light and kept walking. Occasionally she’d glance around to see if she recognized any of the plant life they passed, but before she knew it they’d stopped. Assuming that meant they’d arrived at the fire seeds, she’d turned back to see the professor with his wand under his chin, creating all sorts of weird shadows over his features, and she’d bit her lip to keep from giggling. Besides, she figured the information they were being given was important, so listening was better than amusing herself with the appearance of the man speaking.

Shifting to carefully tuck her wand under her arm, she got her gloves out and put them on securely before moving her wand back into her hand. Practice was always good, much better than accidentally extinguishing seeds that apparently were at risk of dying out without their help. It didn’t matter if she felt like the charm was an easy one. It was going to be even more interesting with her wand tip still glowing slightly. Therefore, she began with the movement, rotating her wrist delicately and watching the light creating a circle. A very small circle.

Switching to the incantation was easy as well, as all she had to do was drop her arm to her side to avoid accidentally casting. “Chaudensis,” she said softly once to herself, before repeating it several times just to cement the pronunciation in her head. “Chaudensis.”

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

The were going in to the forbidden forest. Actually going into the FORBIDDEN forest for a lesson. Mason's stomach did a little flip, he'd rather stay behind and, oh he didn't know, NOT go in to the FORBIDDEN forest. He knew what kind of creatures lived in there and he had also heard about that a kid had DIED in there. He was suddenly remembering Katherine's question 'which school do you like better? Hogwarts or Durmstrang?' At the time he had found it difficult to tell, today he would most certainly say Durmstrang. They might teach the Dark Arts but at least they did not have classes in a FORBIDDEN forest.

Merlin's Beard! Everyone seemed to be marching inside already. Were none of them scared? Or even a bit nervous? Sure there was a Centaur and Professor with them. And they had the school leaders but still... Mason thought for a couple of seconds. To follow or not to follow? In the end, he figured that this was still a class and he couldn't just leave, so he took a brave deep breath and followed the others, making sure he was close to the professor and not the centaur. Cause the creature creeped him out a little bit.

Putting on his gloves as he walked and holding a bucket in his hands, Mason quietly followed the rest from the middle. Everyone knew that if something bad happened, it was usually the targets at the front and back who would be taken first...unless a creature came from above? He gulped and looked up , the tree tops were high above him.

When the class suddenly halted, Mason did so as well and looked towards the Professor to hear what they were going to do next. He had read about the Chaudensis Charm before but had not actually used it before. Therefore, the Ravenclaw began to practise the incantation without wand movements first.saying the incantation over and over again until it rolled off his tongue with ease. He then grabbed his wand from his wrist holster, surprised at himself for not having it out earlier and called himself stupid in his head, he began to practise the wand movement next.

At this point it was far too late to run away. They were deep in the forbidden forest and right not the safest spot was probably travelling with the group. Besides, if there was danger, how could she be so heartless as to abandon her friends to save herself? She would never do that. Nearby, Charlie had selected her to be the prefect she was following. "Hey Charlie," Kitty greeted her quietly as they trudged through the forest. She wasn't going to let anything happen to her.

Then Leon came up to her and asked if she was okay. He must have noticed her discomfort. Was it really that obvious? Judging by her slightly shivering hands and her extreme paleness combined with her way of jumping every time a small animal darted nearby - she supposed it was. "Just a little nervous," she confessed quietly enough so only he would hear. "The forbidden forest has always scared me." Some prefects might have been too proud to admit their vulnerability to a non-prefect fell housemate, but Kitty wasn't proud and she didn't like lying. "But I think I'm okay." All the same, she took a step closer to him as they walked. She was thankful for his support.

Default Derf, Sam, Colt... and catch up

Well... Dora saw Colt come up beside her and almost got words out before the cutie little first year happened. HAHAHAH! What was he... Why? Doraa held her laughter in, but her face definitely showed her amusement as she directed her attention toward Sam. Bluebells. Why hadn't she thought of that? Drat! Spike let her see the chiming bluebells all the time.

But whatever...

HAD HE SAID... FIRESEED BUSHES?! HGFJDKSHIFUSHGFIUSFELKFM!!

FIRE!

SEED!

Dora had definitely heard that and she now listened to the professor with rapt attention as she grabbed a bucket and nudged Colt to come follow her into the forest. THIS WAS ALMOST AS GOOD AS THAT DADA LESSON LAST TERM! It took everything in her power not to skip as she moved further into the trees.

Oh. Okay. Blaise. Stoppit! PROFESSOR WAS TALKING!

Setting her bucket down a grin spread across her lips as she practiced the wand movement. She wasn't too concerned with doing the spell wrong. It was like ANYTHING that had to do with heat, fire, or destruction... her wand was like ALWAYS going to do it right.

"CHAW-DEN-SIS," she said as she lightly rotated her wrist.

This was awesome!

Oh and what uses could the seeds have? Maybe a warming potion? Like if people were in the snowy places and couldn't use wands... they could drink a potion?

She wasn't sure... so she kept mum as she pulled her gloves on.

He'd always thought the creatures were pretty cool, and this one seemed really nice and helpful. "Hello, Thereos," he said, hearing his name from another student.

Oh, hey--there was Olivia! Brent grinned at her and steered in her direction. "Thanks! The walk was getting kind of lame with nobody to talk to," he said. As excited as he was to be venturing into the Forbidden Forest, he was getting kind of bored with the whole walking part. Not only was Olivia near him now, but so was Skylar. "Well, if it isn't Miss Sarcastic herself?" he asked her with a smirk. "I'm just kidding. This walk just got a lot more fun." Plus, Olivia seemed to have a friend with her, so it was a small, little crowd of him and some girls!
Brent was totally never going to live it down on her initial sarcasm to him. Not that she minded terribly much, especially when he totally just PRAISED her after it. He called her FUN!! He might be sarcastic back with her, but he LIKED IT! "Keep it up, and I'll route you first on line for a meet and greet with the acromantulas," Sky grinned, totally teasing him. Maybe. She was good with lines.

Incantation: Chaudensis Charm (CHAW-DEN-SIS)
Wand Movement: rotation of the wrist alone
He didn't like her idea about a fiery drink? It wasn't like she was advocating for them to drink fire, but just more about inheriting the explosive properties of fire seeds....

Whatever.

It seemed as though they had reached the cave to retrieve the fire seeds and were starting on with the task at hand. But before they got to collect anything cool, it was necessary for them to practice the incantation first, which made totally sense, since like he didn't want them to burn themselves, something that she reckoned at least ONE person was liable to do despite best attempts to prevent it.

"Chaw-den-sis" Skylar said first in her head, and then aloud several times. And proceeded to practice rotating just her wrist, which it turned out was A LOT harder than Professor Myers made it look. Seriously. Despite best attempts, she found her upper arm moved slightly with rotation of her wrist. Surely it wouldn't cause THAT big a deal, RIGHT?!

They got to learn a new charm! or a new one to Hattie anyway! Yaay! Harriet loved learning new charms. She found it amazing that after two years at school she was still learning new skills and new spells. It made her excited to continue to learn at school. But first she wanted to master this spell. The third year watched the professor carefully as he showed them how to do the spell. She wanted to follow carefully so that she would know what to do herself when she needed to. That was how she learnt, and it went well.

She smiled, reading to practice herself. First Hattie decided to practice the wand movement. She repeated the action the professor had done, trying hard to just move her wrist, and not her entire arm. It was hard at first, but she had it done in a few movements. She was just concentrating hard on making sure only her wrist moved. She figured her painting skills, where she needed accurate movement helped with that.

And now onto the incantation. "Chaw-den-sis" She said, and then repeated it a few times. It wasn't that hard. She was used to saying incantations now. Happy that she could say it, she repeated the wand movement, whilst saying the incantation, and then waited for the next set of instructions.

Carlton was terrified. It just didn't pass. He'd been terrified after he'd found out they were going into the forest. He'd been terrified when he met the Centaur. He was terrified when the darkness settled around them and they went deeper into the forest.

He was just terrified.

He hadn't even had the courage to greet the centaur, an awkward wave had to do.

Carlton walked close to the older students who just looked like they knew what they were doing and also kept a safe distance from the centaur. If he got scared he would just tackle one of the older students and hope they protected him. Great plan.

He swallowed hard when Professor Myers put the lit wand up to his face. One part of him wanted to run the other way back to Hogwarts. Maybe back to Professor Greyvson's office for a hot chocolate. But he stood his ground. This was a class. He would get through it.

He hoped.

Carlton took a few steps closer to the Professor when he explained the instructions. He couldn't afford to miss one single instruction. First of all he put on the gloves and tried to ignore the comment on explosions.

He wasn't good at magic, he just wasn't. And to perform magic that might make a bucket explode in the middle of the Forbidden Forest was terrifying to say the least.

"Chaw-den-sis." Carlton murmured, practising the pronunciation first of all. He would definitely need some help from an older student. Perhaps Olivia, Mason or Rooney would come to his rescue because HELP.

Walking, walking and walking… Her excitement for the lesson faded while she waited because… Well… She had expected the forest to be more… Scary but now, it just… Looked like any other dark place, nothing special! Maybe it was because she had entered a muggle forest during the night and it had looked exactly the same, but now she wasn’t that impressed. But, to be sure she wasn’t planning on doing something stupid, remembering that, unlike those muggle forests she had seen, that here were living really dangerous creatures she absolutely didn’t wanted to face all alone. But, eventually they stopped and relieved that they would start doing something she faced the professor again and listened to what he was saying, hiding a smile because of the trick he used with his wand to light his face, like muggles were doing with their flashlights.

Putting on her cloves when she was told to do so she started feeling excited again because they were going to start working soon! Fire, she LOVED fire and… This was just going to be perfect! Even knowing that they needed to practice first wasn’t such a bad thing because, this too, was a spell related to fire so it wasn’t such a problem to learn it! Taking out her wand she first made the right movements a few times until she was sure that she was doing it right before putting her want back in her pocket to start practicing pronouncing the spell. “CHAW-DEN-SIS” She spoke softly but with a clear voice. Smiling satisfied because this spell didn’t looked too difficult she waited for the next part of the lesson.

Colt thought this was a lot of walking for a lesson. More walking than he was accustomed to. He saw the caves approaching high in the distance and he heard Professor Meyers saying they were close. Once they reached the caves and a few huff and puffs there, man he really needed to get in shape. He needed more quidditch practice. He heard Meyers saying they needed to put on the gloves. He obeyed and got his gloves from his backpack and put them on. So they were harvesting the seeds and heating them in the bucket. Easy enough. He saw his bucket and heard them charm they were gonna use. He saw it was called the Chaudensis Charm or this is how you pronounce it CHAW-DEN-SIS. Sounded like chewbacca in his opinion.

He was now going to practice it, he gave a smirk to Dora and saw her casting with ease. He got his wand out and thought of the spell again. The chewbacca spell and he began to say, "CHAW-DEN-SIS.." He thought it felt weird rolling off the tongue.

He said the spell word again, "Chawdensis!" and then rotated his wand with his wrist. Just one of them. Once he felt confident he waited for the next set of instructions. He still kept an eye on the centaur though.
