Greenhouse One looks quite different today, doesn't it? Why, the inside of the greenhouse almost looks like a very thick forest upon first entering, except for a pathway that looks to the center of the greenhouse where there is a CLEARING with a bunch of tables (in a circular formation) and a chalkboard. The nifty chalkboard Paul Myers used in all of his lessons, in all of his greenhouses. Speaking of Myers, he wore an old, mustard yellow hang off the shoulder oversized t-shirt as well as loose fitting black sweatpants. How Hufflepuf of him.
Since the incident in the Room of Requirement, Paul had been careful not to over exert himself. His lessons had been mellow and low-key, and this one would be no different. He was having a good time teaching this stuff, but alas, nothing too hard on the brain (for those that did enjoy a good challenge). He paced around the tables, eyeing the small "forest" surrounding him anxiously as he awaited students to begin arriving. The aromas in the area were very strong, very fruity, almost, and there were bushes and plants teeming with berries in the plush forest area. On the blackboard were the words,
WELCOME TO THE NICER AND HUMANE HUNGER GAMES
"I NEED A VOLUNTEER." As tribute, as it were. Some of them would understand the references, others would not, but it didn't really matter to Paul. The lesson would be just fine with or without their recognition.
OOC: Come on in (; Your characters got the notice to arrive in clothes they didn't care about. I will be moving on the lesson in roughly 24 hours. I do need a volunteer or two, but don't worry if you don't get to post right away! No extra points or anything will be given to the volunteers. It's more for Paul's IC demonstration to move the lesson on. <3
Derf fully heard and understood that this was acting, but the moment Jessa's body hit the ground it was anything but that to the Hufflepuff. Suddenly he was back in the Room of Requirement with people falling all around him, Abey sobbing, the Monster appearing, more people dying...
Derf sort of just went all rigid, color draining from his face as though HE had just consumed a handful of White Baneberry - which had ALMOST happened to him when he was younger, actually. He had only had one but it was sweet tasting and he was about to go in for another few dozen when his parents had caught him. All the more reason why he did NOT like plants.
The third year didn't even register Natalie's presence, instead his mind swirled and knees shook slightly.
Of ALL the professors and staff at this school...Professor Myers had been the ONE to validate the noq 14-year-old's feelings since the portal incident and was the last one he expected to show this sort of ill-timed insensitivity. Or, well, this was a thought the boy would have been having were his eyes not rolling back in his head anyway. Heart drumming in his chest so loudly it was a wonder the entire class couldn't hear, Derf hands became clammy and he TOO slumped to the ground like a dropped sack of potatoes.
Avoiding looking at everyone, Natalie didn't notice Derf's colorless face at first. She did assume that he would NOT appreciate the theatrics of the beginning of this lesson, but what actually came next was quite a surprise to the young Slytherin.
Natalie felt Derf shifting... but then suddenly he was falling to the ground and her reflexes were not quick enough to try and catch him, (not that her tiny little arms would have been able to, but she would have TRIED). Her eyes went wide in shock and she let out a terrified little squeal as HE TOO crumpled to the ground. But HE hadn't volunteered! He hadn't pretended to eat the berries! But there he was, on the ground!
"Derf!" Natalie yelled in a panicked tone, immediately dropping to her knees to try and shake him. He couldn't have been faking it - he WOULDN'T have! And Professor Myers shouldn't have made others pretend in the first place!
"Professor Myers!" she shouted next, in a very panicked tone but also quite an ACCUSATORY tone. This was HIS fault! "Why would you do this?! DO SOMETHING!" WHO in there RIGHT MINDS would think PLAYING dead after students GOT CURSED was A GOOD IDEA???
WHO??
'CAUSE NOW HER BEST FRIEND WAS ON THE GROUND AND IT WAS HIS FAULT.
Perhaps she wouldn't have reacted this largely if students hadn't dropped to the ground just a few weeks ago who were apparently BURNING ALIVE, but considering all that been happening lately, Natalie felt freaking out was valid.
Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...
He saw the wave and he just nodded his head. He didn't want to talk to people, how did no one understand that yet? He had been here for the third year, but people still tried to push him into being social. He didn't like social!
Acting, they were acting and talking muggles. The boy groaned, he didn't mean to groan aloud, but it happened. He just couldn't deal with it anymore. All the muggle lovers were just making him sick. Whoever was going around cursing people had the right idea. Maybe they could get less idiots around here.
He watched the berry stuff very unimpressed and thought at least the professor could have given them charmed safe berries that gave the kids the same effect as the poison ones.
Paul had THOUGHT he had taken a sensitive approach to teaching Nightshade...and with all the ACTING stuff in his mind lately, he thought he'd let some acting slip into the lesson.
Apparently, he had vastly underestimated Derfael and his ability to be sensitive to everything. Not that Paul found that annoying, or wrong. His eyes widened a little it, and something clicked in the back of his head. Like...maybe...Derf needed some extra help with things at some point. He felt...little guilt, even as Natalie yelled at him, but he did rush forward and quickly (as quickly as a recovering, elderly men could) lift Derf's head. "I wonder how hard he hit the ground...Merlin..." Had...Jessa's performance been...this triggering for him? Of course Paul was worried!
"Rennervate," he said gently, pointing his wand at Derf's neck. Hopefully the boy would be awake. He summoned a cup, aquamenti'd some water into it, and was prepared to MAKE Derf drink it once he woke up. He began to fan Nerf vigorously (as much as he could) and then realized he could just CAST A SPELL for that. Gosh.
Was his brain jelly? Really? He almost considered this a rookie mistake. He didn't think he blamed himself for not...thinking more of this...but well, he supposed he COULD HAVE realized some students might OVERACT (like Jessa). "I'm sorry, Derfael." He said gently.
And on top of that, HE HAD A CLASS TO RUN AND THIS WAS AN INTERRUPTION. But a valid one.

Okay, so. Acting wasn’t really her strong point but she could give it a try, you know? Not that she had much of a choice anyway. She listened to the instructions carefully, nodding a little. It was simple enough. She pretended to take a berry and popped it into her mouth, pretending to chew it too. Obviously. After a minute or so, she wrapped her arms around her stomach, starting to choke.. rather dramatically. The professor did say they could make their performance dramatic, right? And soon enough, unable to breathe, she flailed her arms around for a bit and very slowly, slumped to the ground.. closing her eyes.
Now, was that dramatic enough for you, Professor? Were they done? Could she get up now?
There was something reassuring about the way Myers' look lingered on her, and Sam smiled a little wider, almost as if she relaxed some. She still felt bad, guilty even, but it diminished a little each lesson with him.
So, on to class...and weren't there a whole load of poisonous berries out there? How was she meant to guess from just an acted scene, when she didn't even know the colour of the berry? She was running through various possibilities in her mind as the girls were acting, cross-matching apparent symptoms with what she'd learn about poisons in potions.
The acting hadn't been that good, had it? Admittedly, Sam had never seen a berry poisoning, but she had seen death from...other substances. And Myers had made it quite clear that they were only acting. Rubbing her temples, Sam looked away from where the professor was helping the Hufflepuff, and picked up her quill. She could at least write down her thoughts. Given the speed the symptoms Jessa and Etta had acted, she'd put her galleons on the nightshade, but she might be wrong.

First off, Professor Myers was being REAL grumpy. Zoryn just gave him a look. Mhm.
But second off, O___________O DERF!?!?!?!!?!!
Did Professor Myers SEE what he just did to poor Derf???? The Gryffindor didn't know what to do. She wanted to help, but also didn't want to crowd him. So instead, she just crossed her arms and glared at Professor Myers because that felt like the appropriate solution. That way she could make her stance on the matter very clear and STILL give Derf enough space to recover.
See, she was maturing.

For some reason Patrick couldn’t remember the name of the berry that had been in the hunger games series. When he heard a couple of people mention night shade he figured that might be something that would be correct. He knew some muggle movies about witches always had something about nightshade in it. He was just taking in the guesses because he wasn’t sure when all the sudden he saw Derf go down and wasn’t sure how class was going to go from there. ”Uh-oh that’s not good.” he mumbled watching professor Meyers go to help Derf.

Okay so Cassie was going to trust Professor Myer’s words and wink for he hadn’t given her anything to doubt. Which was a relief for she didn’t want to have any more drama in classes. There had been plenty already, both in lessons and around the school. So now she just had to wait and see what was to come, especially to their volunteers…the three of them that the professor had claimed from his options. Pretending to eat berries?
Yeah…the Ravenclaw remembered THAT scene from the books.
Even before the dramatic acting of her classmates. Though she watched them anyway, well Jessa’s performance. Because while Hattie and Skylar’s answers had caught Cassie’s attention, the fainting boy’s had grabbed her attention more, especially when the younger Slytherin girl freaked out too. Oh boy! But there was Professor Myer’s jumping into action so she was hoping it was going to be alright.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.
In about five minutes or so Derf would come to be completely mortified as his so-called "cool" 14-year-old self had just FAINTED in the middle of a lesson. But as it was in the moment, the Hufflepuff's eyes were fluttering open thanks to the professor's spell and his mind was more concerned on regaining its bearings than whatever embarrassment was soon to come.
Momentarily forgetting what all had just happened, it was quite the surreal experience waking up and having the first thing you saw be your older-than-most professor staring down at you. Maybe THIS was a dream? Only the slight throbbing in his head from whacking it against the ground was a solid indication that this was NOT a dream.
That embarrassment? Oh yeah. It was happening.
Ears being the first things to turn reddish, Derf attempted to sit up properly on his own - bad idea because now he was also DIZZY - the third year wasn't really sure...what he should do or even what he was feeling. Though it was all starting to come back to him a little...and one hand shakily went into his hair and ruffled it anxiously.

Scarlett just watched as the...complete disaster of a lesson played out in front of her. She wasn't much for volunteering, so she had kept quiet, and before she knew it, poor Derf was on the ground. Again. Didn't this happen last term too? Why was Derf always in some sort of distress during Herbology? Poor kid. And he didn't even have the stress of OWLs to deal with yet...
Because she was a GREAT Hufflepuff and fellow housemate to Derf (and because she was already over this lesson before it began) she raised her hand. "Does he need to be taken to the hospital wing, Professor? If so, I volunteer to escort him," she told him.

Overreact, much?
Granted, Derfael had been in the Room of Requirement when all that went down. But it had happened long enough ago that maybe it shouldn't affect him that badly, no? Besides, the whole thing had been Professor Myers' idea and he had been one of those cursed! If he could be okay with this........
Oh, and Ronan had absolutely zero idea on the type of berries.

Merlin, Paul hadn't even been paying attention to the answers because of Derf fainting. Luckily, the boy woke up pretty quickly, and Paul breathed a little easier. "Welcome back, Derfael. Are you feeling okay?" he asked. "Did you hit your head, do you remember?" Because if so, Paul was much more inclined to send him straight to the Hospital Wing. If not..then...he was probably okay to stay the lesson. Not that this was an extraordinarily IMPORTANT lesson.
"ANYONE who guessed Nightlock---which is what it is in the book, or NIGHT SHADE, which is what the night lock is backed on, is correct! Nighshade berries are....deadly! I wouldn't mess with them. At all. But you seee.....in this muggle series, the briefest of rundowns is....the--" he patted Derfael gently on the shoulder. "The books are set in the future, in America, a different sort of future than you'd think of. Basically, teenagers are forced to play in a game where only one can survive. They must survive in the wild, mostly...and they have to forage the land. One wrong move, and they could eat nightlock and die. Today, we're focusing on the "foraging' off the land part while also learning a little bit more about night shade." Ahem. All of the threads he had connected together, and his eloquent way of explaining them, were out the window with his mind focused in on Derf. "Derf, do you think you need to go to the hospital wing? Do you know what year it is? Or who the Minister For Magic is?" eh?
"Okay, kiddos, what else can we do with berries and other foods besides eat them? If we were surviving in the wild and had NOTHING but our bodies...and clothes, if we were foraging for berries and fruits, what ELSE could we do with them? Don't think survival---think LEISURE!" he wondered if he had given his thought process away O__o
He felt pretty scattered currently.
OOC: So I know this seems scattered and stuff and that's because Paul is KIND OF FREAKING OUT. and yeah. Thanks for bearing with us lol <3 LESSON DRAMAZ.

Alright, Professor Myers was going on with the lesson. Cool.
"Grapes could be turned into wine." The prolessor had said to 'think leisure', right? And most adults drank wine in their leisure time. Or least, his mum and her friends did. Not that he really knew anything about that or anything.

Hattie frowned, watching Professor Myers and Derf. She hoped he would be okay. He was in her house and she always worried about her house mates. Hattie made a mental note to make sure that he was okay later. She figured it must have been something to do with the play-acting. Some people were a little more sensitive, but with what had been going on lately at Hogwarts, she was not surprised. But the girl was glad when things got back to the lesson. It was nearly time for her exams, and she wanted to be really prepared.
And this question was right up her alley. Or at least she knew a good answer. The blonde beamed as she put her hand up into the air. "You could squish the grapes and use them for painting" She mused, still beaming. She was known for being an artist, so it was no doubt that she would have come up with an answer like that. "They make pretty colours. Though if you were doing a big painting you'd probably need a lot of berries"

Of course Derf had to go and for real faint or pass out ... even after Myers said it was nothing to worry about. But Myers was prepared and dealt with the third year, while the fifth year idly flipped through the chapter in her Herbology textbook for a moment. Until the lesson was resuming and nightlock was correct.
Also, that next question, about leisurely things to do with her body and clothing, she blinked a moment trying to comprehend what the professor had asked correctly. Making wine? Huh, perhaps she underestimated Ronan a moment, because that was a great idea and something she could definitely get behind, as wine would give the illusion of warmth.
What did painting have to do with survival? And yet, Skylar wasn't the least bit surprised by that suggestion from Hattie, but still...
Meanwhile, Skylar was still considering the question... Leisure, not survival? Yea, perhaps it was one too many late nights, but she was definitely NOT following his thought process. "Make jam?" It kind of could be leisurely, if they stomped on the berries?

A leisurely activity to do with berries and fruits?
Wine and painting were both pretty good ideas. Jam also wasn't a bad one, but in the first years mind that was more associated with eating. Jam's were good with bread. Which would be a shame, considering if they were stuck foraging she likely wouldn't be able to get her hands on bread.
"Food fight?" some people considered that fun? Didn't they? There were so many cartoons Remy had watched growing up which involved food fights as a general fun activity. That was literally the only idea that came to her mind though.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
She wasn't going to pretend she knew what was going on. There was suddenly a ton of yelling and when she opened her eyes, the Professor was no longer standing by where she'd fallen. Jessa pulled herself back into a sitting position, only half getting to see what was going on with the way the Professor's body was blocking but she did hear him call Derf's name and figured she could connect the dots from there.
Maybe Herbology just wasn't his thing. Derf seemed to get himself injured or fainted or crying in almost every lesson Professor Myers held. Couldn't be healthy for his headspace in the long run.
Remaining where she was, Jessa waited for the man to take care of things and move the lesson forward, confident enough that Derf would be fine.
"You could use it to set traps." She offered. Before he thought she'd missed the point, the Ravenclaw would continue her explanation. "Get yourself a bunch of furry little creatures, put 'em somewhere safe for containment and observation. Possibilities are endless. You'd definitely be able to pass the time leisurely--and you'd be able to learn something too."
Didn't get more leisurely than a casual experiment in the woods, y'know?

Ok so that was a no to the hospital wing then? She glanced over at Derf to see what his answer would be - her offer still stood. If he thought he needed it, she'd be willing to take him there. If she was Myers she'd send him straight there but...she wasn't the professor. So instead Scarlett just settled into her chair and waited for his response.
In the meantime, Myers seemed to be intent on just chugging along with the lesson. So she raised her hand when he asked what they could do with the berries. They were poison right? Wasn't that what he was getting at with his whole story about some dystopian future?
This lesson made no sense.
"You could make a wreath out of them," she suggested, raising her hand. That would probably be the last thing she would do if she was out in the wild BUT it was SOMETHING, right?

Steph gave the professor a weird look. There wasn't much people could do with berries besides the answers already given. And a food fight would be a waste. every food fight is a waste of time, really. Steph quietly decided to sit this one out because not much came to mind anymore. Berries used for survival was still on her mind and it probably was going to be until she named all they options he could.

For the lesson today, Isa had worn her old gardening clothes that she always wore for getting dirty working with plants. Interesting setting for the lesson today. Isa was distracted from answering the first question by Derf’s fainting. Was he okay? Derf never seemed comfortable in herbology in general, and Isa was concerned for her friend. She moved closer to him and leaned down. ”Derf? How are you feeling?” Hopefully he would feel enough to get up.
Once she had ascertained that Derf would be alright, Isa shifted her focus back to the lesson. Looked like the berries were nightshade, also known as atropa belladonna. Of course Jessa’s dramatic death by nightshade wasn’t necessarily an accurate portrayal of the exact effects of nightshade poisoning, it was fun nonetheless. ”One of the symptoms of nightshade poisoning is hallucinations.” Fun fact of the day about deadly nightshade. Nasty stuff, deadly nightshade. Isa had been taught not to eat certain poisonous plants from a young age. She had read books about poisonous plants too. In general it was a good idea not to eat random plants you found in the wild unless you were absolutely one hundred percent sure that it was a safe plant. There were plenty of poisonous plants that didn’t produce berries out there, like water hemlock, but berries were more common in cases of accidental poisoning. It was all too easy for small children to mistakenly eat berries that turned out to be poisonous.
Oooh, what other uses were there for berries? Mostly Isa just ate berries, but there were other uses for berries too. ”Many berries can be used to make dye or ink, if you crush the berries.” Isa had tried making ink from berries before. Mashing up berries in the berry ink making process was fun. Making jam was fun too, but professor Myers had asked about non-eating uses, and making jam probably counted as eating the berries. Would they be learning more about safely foraging for food today? Or was this lesson taking a turn towards uses for different plants? She would just have to wait and see. Foraging off the land, hmm. That sounded like it would be fun. ”Professor, are we going to learn how to identify which plants are safe to eat in the wild?” Seemed like the sort of thing that might come up in the lesson. For now she would just have to wait and see.

Natalie was still by Derf's side while Myers continued to be NO help. She anxiously waited until she saw him come to again... clearly embarrassed. She felt bad for him. A few people around them seemed to be.. impatient. Which was unfair. Derf had been there when his friends had dropped with legitimate curses, so EXCUSE him for reacting accordingly.
"How do you feel?" Natalie asked softly as Myers went on about these weird hunger books. They sounded rather morbid. Her hand went to clasp his free one as a gesture of comfort. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital wing?" she asked in a whisper, once again clearly not paying attention because it was ALL on Derf.

Well actually given all the dramaz happening in class the Curly Top was quite happy with just sitting back and enjoying the free show, maybe grab a handful of those not-Nightlock berries because they sure arent poisonous.
But despite it all, it seems like the Herbologist was being berry consistent with his lesson. What else can they use berries for other than for food? Someone already said to use it as a dye, which is the first thing that came to his mind. Hmm.... oh idea "Professor, we can freeze these berries and use them for a game of marbles or maybe as a fun, edible replacement for gobstones even?" Because the slime from those things was most foul, a berry squirt can be quite yummy.

Think leisure? Nope, Sam couldn't say that clue helped her very much. She'd gone blackberry picking once along the hedgerows near home, but the results of that they put in a pie or mixed with apples in a crumble. The walk itself was leisurely, as was the cooking, but Myers had specified he was looking for something other than eating.
Drinking, perhaps?
"Could you dry them to make into a tea, Professor?" Drinking tea was a very British past time.
Juni really didn’t know what to say. ”I’m okay, How are you?” Was she really actually okay who knew? But she felt like she was just putting on brave faces are anyone that needed to see them. She patted the professor’s shoulder and put on her bravest and most reassuring smiles she had before moving on. He was the only one in the room at the time that had felt that horrible pain. So horrible.
Hunger Games, what in the name of Merlin was that? Maybe she would need to find these books and read them. Was acting like you were dying really appropriate especially with things happening? She simply shrugged it off. She feel like she had already missed to much being in the hospital wing for almost two weeks. Though Slate had taken so very good notes for her while she was away. So without having a clue Juni raised her hand ”Juniper berries?” It was highly doubtful but since they shared the same name she would offer it.
Oh so no NOT juniper berries, nightlock. Yep she was taking notes. Apparently she had missed half of whatever happened to Derf because she was completely confused. Hopefully he hadn’t gotten into of these nightlock berries because that would be bad.
Listening to the others give answers. It was really hard decided what to say. Everything she thought of was more for survival then for leisure. But then again some people find gardening and harvesting plants relaxing apparently. ”You could take the seeds and plant them. Some people enjoy gardening at their leisure, or you can make jewelry with the berries that are not ripe yet since they are a bit harder at first or Tyedye clothes with the juices of the berries.” Okay so maybe she did have a few extra ideas of what to with berries.
As he watched the other two performers fake their deaths, Henry continued trying to think of what other types of berries were poisonous, especially ones that could cause near instant death. Ah, belladonna.. nightshade.. He should have known that one, especially with his intermittent NEWT studying. But to be fair, he was just mediocre at Herbology and he had plenty of other things on his mind, currently.
His eyes snapped up as a young Slytherin girl started shouting and his eyes soon drifted over to Derfael on the floor. Oh no. Henry stood up from his seat with a start, but remained there as Professor Paul took care of the situation. This seemed to happen nearly every time that he shared this class with all the years. Not that he was unsympathetic - he genuinely was concerned for the boy - but there really seemed to be a pattern.
He seemed to be okay though and Henry slowly sat down as he kept his eyes on the boy, eventually shifting his attention to Professor Paul. Leisure? Uh... Henry thought a moment as he considered some of the other answers being given. He didn't really think of food other than being eaten, but he supposed he could offer something as well.
"I suppose you could play a game with berries, if you need something for entertainment," and leisure, he offered after raising his hand. "Those berries do somewhat resemble gobstones, so you could play a game like that." His mind was often on such games or sports, even when he was distracted, so his coming to that conclusion was probably not a big surprise.
