Default Herbology Lesson 1: Toadin' Around



For a class held at 1pm, the walk to the greenhouses from the castle was rather dark and wet. The rain was expected for a date in October, but the sky was a shade or two darker than expected with the wet weather. Professor Rainwater had left a bucket outside of greenhouse five for any umbrellas the students had used to sit in. If one was to come into his class, he was already known to use it as a prop in his teaching and for it to accidentally get broken. Speaking from experience. Luckily, today’s Herbology lesson was just after lunch so the students had had ample time to get a warm drink down them before the short walk. As always, the water station is set up outside Greenhouse Five for students to grab a quick drink before class starts, but they are not permitted to enter the greenhouse with those drinks. So drink up, and get inside! Because it’s definitely warmer in here than it is out there.

Upon entering Greenhouse Five, you’ll notice immediately that Professor Rainwater is not present but there is a message written in his handwriting on the whiteboard.

They don't look friendly, which is probably why your Professor has suggested not to get too close.

OOC: HI. Welcome to the first OOC Herbology thing this term but it’s October IC so obviously this isn’t the first time your character will have interacted with Professor Rainwater in a classroom situation this school year, so he expects that they know the rules and expectations that he has of them.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Class will begin roughly 28 hours from this post <3 Class has STARTED, please jump in and pretend your character has been here all along!

Valencia wished she was more creative. Her mum would have been amazing at an assignment like this. Meanwhile, she was wracking her brain for complementary skills that would work in a toadstool.

Maybe a singing and tap dancing one? An entertainer toadstool. It was possible to tweak a leaping toadstool to dance, wasn't it?

She glanced around wondering what other students were coming up with.

Huh. She'd gotten it right. She'd have never guessed it. Anyway, the class's coolness factor gained a few extra points when Rainwater mentioned the whole Hybrids in Herbology experiment. She had to admit that even she, who'd been previously unamused by toadstools, was intrigued by this. Not to mention the fact that Rainwater was now screamin' and hollerin' over the possibilities, so something exciting must be coming up, right?

There were so many things going on at once (all of them surrounding Rainwater and his excitement), but she did manage to pick up on mention of her hair. She spent the next several seconds getting distracted by picturing the professor with long, semi-curly brown hair. Heh. Anyway, group work time! "Anybody need a partner? A group?" she asked. She couldn't promise to be as excited over this as Rainwater was, but she could toss out a good idea or two!

Jina beamed when the professor awarded her a point for her answer. She was still smiling happily when she took the parchment with the list of notes. Creating hybrids sounded like what only really advanced herbologists would be able to do, so she was pleasantly surprised that they would also be giving it a go later in the year. She was amused by how much (dramatic) emphasis Rainwater was placing on imagination. She was eager to learn more about the actual science and magic involved in the crossbreeding, but she guessed that would come later. For now, she had to exercise her imagination!

She turned to Jillian next to her. “Would you like to work together?”

Blake noticed Isla looking for a partner so he walked over to her right away. "Hey Wife, need a partner still?" They had a great time working together last year with Schmoe's project mind as well continue that work this year. "Thinking like a Slytherin wouldn't it be cool if they had such a poison it could kill you instantly ... kind of like the cry of a mandrake." Blake wasn't sure were that more morbid idea came from, but Rainwater had said the options are limitless ...

Think and discuss? So this was a brainstorming session? He loved BRAINSTORMING. Time to get the creative juices flowing NOW. Noah happened to be sitting near the Ravenclaw Prefect when he began talking excitedly. He nodded and continued nodding. He liked ALL of those ideas especially the flying one. "What if it enables you to talk in different languages or turn invisible or read people's minds?" Maybe this toadstool acted like the radioactive spider that bit Peter Pan giving him the amazing powers he needed to be Spider Man and save his hometown of New York.
Oh, sweet! He’d be brainstorming with his pancake eating friend from Gryffindor. That he could handle. Despite the fact that their toadstools seemed to be turning the person who eat it into some kind of muggle superhero, he couldn’t help but laugh a little. The professor did say no limits after all so…why not? ”I love the invisible idea although the mind reading one? Errr…no thank you” because you know, who wants to know someone who can reach into your mind and take whatever they wanted? No thank you.

SPOILER!!: ”Braaaaiiinstooooorm”
  • Poison protection
  • Flying
  • Long distance apparition
  • Read people’s minds
  • Invisible
  • Speak different languages


The Ravenclaw quickly jotted all of their ideas down on a piece of scrap parchment as they brainstormed ideas, just so that they didn’t forget before he ventured forward with a few more ideas. ”What about some kind of mushroom that can fill you with one bite? Or maybe tastes differently depending on what time of day you eat it?” grinning a little now. ”Like, breakfast time you eat it and it’s breakfast. Midday, oh it’s whatever you wanted for midday…” and so on and so forth. Noah would get the picture. A mushroom that could feed you what you want for each meal of the day.

Ooooh they were going to do some of their own crossbreeding? The actual doing the work part sounded hard. But the imagining part sounded very fun! Alexandre liked imagining. He was pretty good at it, he thought. But, how could you not be good at imagining? He already had lots of ideas. But it looked like they were picking partners. Alexandre looked around quickly. Which of his friends were even there? He spotted Valencia and moved to her side. "Hi Valencia! Do you want to be partners?"

you wanna fite? | 💚 nickleback 💚 | Uh, anyway.

Yoyo should have been thinking about the toadstools and all that Professor Rainwater had said, instead she was internally chanting partner, partner, partner. Peeking around, there were many a candidate from the older sect to the younger ones while usually, Yoyo would pick just about anyone to sidle up with, this was Herbology and she didn't feel the need to let just anyone know just how not-green her thumb was.

She needed a Third Year. Preferably someone who was nice.

Someone not intimidating, but who would be good with their hands.

Like a Gryffindor.
Like- Morgan McCarthy!

Yolanda walked right over and took up the spot beside the Gryffindor without even a tiny bit of hesitation.
"Hey, wanna partner up?" She beamed.

Well, yes, Bernie was used to that response from adults, but hey, she wasn't the only one stumping Rainwater today. Flora the first year's answer was ALSO a good guess, this Gryffindor thought, andddd she was certain Louise's banana that actually looked like a kiwi inside had to be real. She didn't typically take notes in Herbo because why would she when Rainwater the real expert gave them everything they needed?!??! But she did make a note, on her notes, to send the professor some grapermelon gum; hopefully she could get her hands on that by Christmas. AND she made another note to bother him after class about who exactly would make the decision to create a leaping toadstool park.

HOooooohohoo, anywho, moving on to the CREATE YOUR OWN SHROOM assignment! She clapped a bit at Rainwater's leaps and hops (no one could EVER accuse him of being boring) and then buckled down, scribbling away all the ideas she could think of on her parchment.

  • It's basically a forest torch

Aboli was ABOUT to ask Noah if he wanted to be her partner when he went and asked Ewan instead. She shot her Gryffindor friend a LEWK before huffing and turning to see that her NEWEST PAL Valencia needed someone - and look, it was Alexandre, too. "Hey - Can I work with you guys?" she asked as she pulled her bookbag with her. "DO either of you have ideas?" Because Aboli sure didn't.

And everyone seemed to be going all GUNGHO with their ideas already. "What could make toadstools cooler?" she asked them both. "Since...they're already pretty cool if you ask me," she smirked to show she was kinda joking. Not that toadstools weren't cool, but were they the COOLEST? Heh.

Apology so accepted, Professor. Cecelia's pouting was put to a stop pretty quickly when she saw the lemon sweet and she smiled a little, pocketing it so no one else would see. Sweets were one of the many ways to her heart and she was appreciative of this one, 'specially 'cause she'd thought only moments before that the man had been disappointed in her. Disappointed adults were the worst. What wasn't the worst? Knowing her second answer had been correct. Her smile grew a little more after hearing that and it was like the soul crushing moment before had never happened at all.

"I'll share ideas with you, Bernie!" Cecelia was willing to bet that Bernie was the type to encourage ALL her wildest thoughts on this subject and she was all about that kind of encouragement, so she moved closer to her fellow third year and offered up her own list.

SPOILER!!: toadstool ideas
Quote:
-Can sing!
-Can glow in the dark!
-Smells like chocolate!
-Can make YOU glow if you eat some of it!


"I don't know why I like the idea of glowing so much, but I really do," She admitted with a sheepish smile.

Woooohoo! "Hiya, Cece," Bernie greeted her roommate, scooching closer to her so she could see her list and vice versa. Of course Bernie had to let out a big gasp of approval when she saw that Cece had GLOW IN THE DARK on her list. AND it smelled good. AND it could make people glow TOO.

Bernie needed to steal a few of those ideas, ahem.

"I LOVE your toadstool. I would LOVE to taste-test it for you." If they actually got to make these toadstools a reality, of course. Bernie tapped the first idea on Cece's list, too. "What if the toadstool ALSO made the people who ate it good singers? Since it can sing?" JUST A THOUGHT!

She hurried up to add the other GLOWING idea she was borrowing from Cece to her own list.

Uhhh, wait. An apple was a plant, was it not? Maybe Professor Rainwater meant that he wanted to know about the actual plant itself, not just the fruit? Oh well. At least he didn't hate her answer. And at least he was always nice enough when she didn't answer totally correctly, instead of making her feel stupid about it.

Avalon's eyes widened as the professor leapt up to stand on his workstation. She couldn't help but smile when he yelled about daring to dream and having no limits. Had Professor Rainwater ever been into theater? He certainly would make a good performer. He was quite charismatic and dramatic. And a generally likable guy. She could see him being on stage in one of those big theaters in New York.

Turning to the people next to her, Avalon decided to crash the lion party and join Bernie and Cecelia. Leave it up to the Gryffindors to have the craziest ideas for a crossbred mushroom. If there really were no limits, this had to be the coolest, trendiest, and most useful toadstool ever. Avalon wanted to give it at least one quality for each of the five senses. And then a couple more magical properties, too. "Ooohhh, I love the idea of a glow-in-the-dark mushroom! That would be really cool." She passed over her own parchment with her ideas.

Her list covered the five senses thing, but she wanted to add some more unique properties to her toadstool as well. "The toadstool should definitely taste good and not be poisonous. I'm tired of those gross mushrooms that my mum always serves with dinner." Who really wanted to eat a soggy, gross fungus that tasted like dirt? Now a candy-flavored mushroom was something Avalon could get behind. "And what if we made it have some special power? If it can really be anything, we might as well make it useful!" Perhaps it should have healing properties? Or she could definitely get behind Bernie's idea of having it eat bugs.

Bernie needed to steal a few of those ideas, ahem.

"I LOVE your toadstool. I would LOVE to taste-test it for you." If they actually got to make these toadstools a reality, of course. Bernie tapped the first idea on Cece's list, too. "What if the toadstool ALSO made the people who ate it good singers? Since it can sing?" JUST A THOUGHT!

She hurried up to add the other GLOWING idea she was borrowing from Cece to her own list.

Text Cut: MY TOADSTOOL 2.0
  • Big
  • Grows sideways on the side of trees?
  • Makes people LORGE when they eat it?
  • But that effect only lasts a short time
  • Also, the toadstool can eat bugs, so it's handy
  • Also, it changes color at night and glows
  • It's basically a forest torch
  • I'm thinking its colours are like pink and purple and blue and green, like that biolumie plankton that does this?
  • IF YOU EAT IT, then YOU GLOW TOO!
  • .......need more ideas


"What do you think my toadstool would smell like, Cece?" She LOVED the idea of her friend's smelling like chocolate, but maybe Bernie's smelled different, since it ate bugs and all???

Avalon's eyes widened as the professor leapt up to stand on his workstation. She couldn't help but smile when he yelled about daring to dream and having no limits. Had Professor Rainwater ever been into theater? He certainly would make a good performer. He was quite charismatic and dramatic. And a generally likable guy. She could see him being on stage in one of those big theaters in New York.

Turning to the people next to her, Avalon decided to crash the lion party and join Bernie and Cecelia. Leave it up to the Gryffindors to have the craziest ideas for a crossbred mushroom. If there really were no limits, this had to be the coolest, trendiest, and most useful toadstool ever. Avalon wanted to give it at least one quality for each of the five senses. And then a couple more magical properties, too. "Ooohhh, I love the idea of a glow-in-the-dark mushroom! That would be really cool." She passed over her own parchment with her ideas.


Her list covered the five senses thing, but she wanted to add some more unique properties to her toadstool as well. "The toadstool should definitely taste good and not be poisonous. I'm tired of those gross mushrooms that my mum always serves with dinner." Who really wanted to eat a soggy, gross fungus that tasted like dirt? Now a candy-flavored mushroom was something Avalon could get behind. "And what if we made it have some special power? If it can really be anything, we might as well make it useful!" Perhaps it should have healing properties? Or she could definitely get behind Bernie's idea of having it eat bugs.


"I'd let you be the second to taste-test it, since I'd want to be the first!" But it was real reassuring knowing her toadstool seemed appetizing. That meant she was on to something, surely. "Hey, yeah! Maybe that can be a whole THING. Like the person who eats some of my toadstool takes on ALL of its traits!" She liked where Bernie's head was at, she did.

SPOILER!!: Toadstool Ideas with updates!

"I super like that yours eats bugs 'cause it's no fun walking through the forest with a bunch of bugs flying around your head," She commented when she was done updating her list, offering a smile to the Bernster. As for what hers should smell like, Cecelia tapped her chin. "Well, bugs like sugary stuff, right? Fruit can be sugary. Maybe your toadstool can smell fruity and trick the bugs into coming over to it!" She was kiiiiiind of a toadstool idea master at this point.

"Oh, hey, Avalon has the sweet smelling idea, too." The third year offered Avalon a smile, taking a longer look at her list. "I haven't thought about what colors mine should be yet, but I'm open to ideas." Since she noticed the other two already had theirs picked out. "Well, I think eating bugs is useful and Bernie's can do that. Mine could be considered useful IF you had to enter some kind of talent contest or something 'cause it can help you sing AND glow, which is a double talent." And who wouldn't be impressed by a glowing singer? "Maybe yours can help someone's appearance? Like making their hair shiny and smooth since that's what the appearance of the toadstool is!"

Catherine had never been a huge fan of group work - because there were always those lazy ones who just piggybacked off the ones who truly did the work, aka herself - and she was not into it at all.

Especially not when they could be creating something pretty useful out of those crossbreed ideas. Not that she believed they would be able to develop weird and wonderful things when they were all just children - weird maybe, but definitely not wonderful -, but the experiment and just the fact they were given the opportunity to think about it was interesting enough. At least their obnoxiously loud and annoying professor came up with something to make his mad show class interesting.

Although working on her own had been wholly her choice, Catherine had to use all of her might not to send jealous side-eyes to Cecelia who had so promptly partnered with her roommate instead of Catherine. She had seen it coming even before she herself came to Hogwarts, but the sting didn't feel any less brutal to the Ravenclaw when her best friend picked someone else before even looking at her.

Whatever. Catherine didn't care she really did. Besides, not partnering with a Gryffindor was the best thing she could do, like she had decided a few months ago. Especially when the subject could become hazardous and the red people believed to have a license to be stupid. Yeah, Catherine was way better off on her own for this and anything else, thank you.

The second-year only got a piece of parchment out to write on when she considered the fact professor Rainwater would come over and tell her to write her ideas down. She didn't need to write them down. Catherine had an excellent memory and everything she did choose to do had a reason, so there was no need to write it down. Only people who chose random and pointless things needed to write them down because they were, well, pointless.

Catherine had to admit the idea she overheard of having the toadstool speak in different languages did appeal to her, but she didn't see a reason for that, so that wasn't going on her list.

Text Cut: List

Crossbreed Toadstool
  • Perennial
  • Turns black and moves when it senses danger
  • Lets itself be harvested by trustworthy people
  • Its roots act like a counter-ingredient to flabberghasted leeches
  • Has emotions and each of them is reflected in the colour of the cap. Each colour/emotion has a different property in Potion making


As she wrote, she grew prouder and prouder of her creation. Although she didn't think she'd be able to develop that sort of toadstool within this term, maybe it could be a long term project or even something she could discuss with her grandmother. Admittedly, she didn't know how or what exactly to crossbreed to be able to generate that kind of useful plant, but it was probably something she would be interested in looking into.

Just imagine having a single plant that could provide you with so many options in Potions!? Fascinating. And, as a matter of fact, very useful indeed.

"I super like that yours eats bugs 'cause it's no fun walking through the forest with a bunch of bugs flying around your head," She commented when she was done updating her list, offering a smile to the Bernster. As for what hers should smell like, Cecelia tapped her chin. "Well, bugs like sugary stuff, right? Fruit can be sugary. Maybe your toadstool can smell fruity and trick the bugs into coming over to it!" She was kiiiiiind of a toadstool idea master at this point.

"Oh, hey, Avalon has the sweet smelling idea, too." The third year offered Avalon a smile, taking a longer look at her list. "I haven't thought about what colors mine should be yet, but I'm open to ideas." Since she noticed the other two already had theirs picked out.

And who wouldn't be impressed by a glowing singer? "Maybe yours can help someone's appearance? Like making their hair shiny and smooth since that's what the appearance of the toadstool is!"


Taste.... taste was definitely important, Bernie was thinking, especially as she looked over Avalon's list. "Ooh, I agree with Cece, I like that, yes." She nodded confidently. "Yours should taste like candy floss, Avalon," she added. It was just what the Ravenclaw's description made her hunger for when she read it a second time. Must've been the colours in Avalon's description that triggered her.

She smiled happily at Cece's offer to let her taste-test the shroom second. "Okay!" Deal. "You can try mine second you, both of you," BOTH of her partners could. They could set up a charcuterie board of everyone's mushrooms after they made them!!!!! IF they were really making them. Bernie was going to be sorely disappointed in Rainwater if this was all a hypothetical exercise.

Anyway, she added the other ideas from her partners to her list. "So if mine smells like fruits, should it TASTE like fruits too?" She tapped her chin.

Text Cut: MY TOADSTOOL 3.0
  • Big
  • Grows sideways on the side of trees?
  • Makes people LORGE when they eat it?
  • But that effect only lasts a short time
  • Smells fruity, like bananas and kiwis and mangos
  • Also, the toadstool can eat bugs, it attracts them with its scent, so it's handy
  • Also, it changes color at night and glows
  • It's basically a forest torch
  • I'm thinking its colours are like pink and purple and blue and green, like that biolumie plankton that does this?
  • IF YOU EAT IT, then YOU GLOW TOO!
  • .......probably good on ideas now?


Bernie nodded some more to Cece's ideas; she really WAS a toadstool master at this point. Her eye landed on another girl's parchment near by them; she was in their year, er, around their year, wasn't she? She was like, the quietest kid ever, but that had never stopped Bernie from peeping her parchment.

Text Cut: Catherine :3
Crossbreed Toadstool
  • Perennial
  • Turns black and moves when it senses danger
  • Lets itself be harvested by trustworthy people
  • Its roots act like a counter-ingredient to flabberghasted leeches
  • Has emotions and each of them is reflected in the colour of the cap. Each colour/emotion has a different property in Potion making


"LOOK," Bernie tapppppppppped Catherine's parchment with her own quill, maybe flicking a bit of ink all over the place as she did. She couldn't help it, she was excited, and Gryffindors just....happened....when they got excited. "Cath's toadstool has FEELINGS." Oops, had she shouted that?

Awwwwwwwwwwww. No one was gonna wanna eat THAT one on their charcuterie board though! "What if it SCREAMS when you eat it?!" Bernie positively LOVED this idea, and beamed at the shy Ravenclaw. She was welcome to join their group, c'mon, duhhhhhhhhh.

*sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!

Missa could not believe it. TWO MORE POINTS??? She was now sure she probably looked like a tomato, thanks to Professor Rainwater. Trying to stay humble, she merely smiled and diligently listened as the professor spoke more.

She actually felt a little nervous as he elaborated more on what the eventual lesson course would be for this term. It was easy to remember things you have read, but it was not always easy to apply them.

Nonetheless, as the next part of the lesson rolled on, she turned around to see who she could go with. Noticing Jina and Jillian pairing up, she approached the two too, “mind if I join you guys?” she asked.

“I was thinking of the poisonous toadstools - and how we are never really sure which ones can be deadly to us, especially when we are out in the wild, and I was thinking if a toadstool can be bred which can counter the poisonous ones - she stopped, laughing nervously and looking at the two. “Am I making .. sense?”

She didn’t want to think of changing colours, she wanted to know if a more ambitious approach can be taken - and the hybrid toadstools they eventually make could be more useful than just something pretty in the wild.

That could only mean one person was nearby asking her for a partnership, and that was the BEST PARTNER EVERRRR, aka Blake! She spun around toward him. "Well, of course, husband. You're only the best partner everrr," she replied. After all, they'd raised a child together at only twelve and thirteen years old, and after that experience, they could probably tackle [i]anything[/i[ together. "Just warning you, though. I don't know much about crossbreeding." That is, to say, she knew next to nothing.

Her eyes grew wide at his idea. "Yeah, and it could be sort of a defense mechanism. People could use it to protect themselves if they thing they might be in danger," she added. She took out a piece of parchment and wrote:

Ideas:

- A plant with poison or some other substance that could be used as a defense mechanism.

Islay took down some notes of her own – her eyes widened momentarily as Professor Rainwater’s voice grew LOUD. Merlin, that was loud, but she wasn’t going to say anything about that right now. Islay could kind of feel the tension off of her housemate when she was called out – or well, maybe it was how she would have felt.

“Stella – do you want to work with me?” she asked giving her a look it was as if her eyes were telling her to calm down and relax. That everything would be alright. “Anyone want to join me and Stella?” she asked aloud as she glanced around the room. SOMEONE WOULD JOIN THEM.

Stella nodded at what Professor Rainwater said, but didn't say anything else on the matter. As for her notes, she wasn't changing them, she had plenty of ink and was good on it, after all her parents knew how she was. She thought her answer was good and paraphrased enough, so what it was a bit text bookish but at least she knew her stuff "Don't cry, Don't cry Stella." Pushing back tears she put her stuff away in her bag that she didn't need anymore.

Looking at Islay she sighed and nodded. " Sure Islay, that'll be wonderful thank you." Biting her lip she walked towards her. "Okay... so what do we want it to do?" she asked her fellow dormmate. "Ooh... we should make it do tricks or so." she said giggling. Despite what happened she loved Herbology no one was going to take that away from her.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine, now chewing on the tip of her quill, was pondering on what else to add to her notes while ignoring all the babble around her. It was something she had mastered over the years: being able to zone out from unnecessary chatter and distractions when she needed to focus on a task. Also, why is it that extroverts were so loud?

A lot of ideas floated around in her brain but they were all over the place. Meaning, she wasn’t focusing on just the potential smells or the behaviours of her toadstool but rather everything at once. Merlin. Her thoughts were louder than the babble around her.

Finally, she added some more notes to the parchment. One thing was certain: that caramelatte flavour was sticking; there would be no argument about that.

SPOILER!!: Notes

Possibilities for a new type of Toadstool:
Colours: golden yellow, pink {Horizontal stripes on the top, vertical stripes on the bottom}? green, red {toadstool could be named something Christmassy} ?
Smells: mint? assorted berry flavours?
Tastes: CARAMELATTE
Behaviour: Hums when nearing perfect consumption time? taps morse code?
Magical qualities: Protects from sunburn when consumed? makes talkative people less talkative!!!


The Snakette arched an eyebrow, questioning her thoughts. Might she be able to crossbreed something that would benefit introverts?

The professor did say no limits after all so…why not? ”I love the invisible idea although the mind reading one? Errr…no thank you” because you know, who wants to know someone who can reach into your mind and take whatever they wanted? No thank you.

SPOILER!!: ”Braaaaiiinstooooorm”
  • Poison protection
  • Flying
  • Long distance apparition
  • Read people’s minds
  • Invisible
  • Speak different languages


The Ravenclaw quickly jotted all of their ideas down on a piece of scrap parchment as they brainstormed ideas, just so that they didn’t forget before he ventured forward with a few more ideas. ”What about some kind of mushroom that can fill you with one bite? Or maybe tastes differently depending on what time of day you eat it?” grinning a little now. ”Like, breakfast time you eat it and it’s breakfast. Midday, oh it’s whatever you wanted for midday…” and so on and so forth. Noah would get the picture. A mushroom that could feed you what you want for each meal of the day.
Aboli's look didn't go unnoticed. WHAT. She was trying to be his partner? Oof.. sorry friend! They'd have to partner another time but if looks could kill, Aboli's one could. He was starting to make a list of things for boys like himself to watch out for when it comes to Aboli (1) elbows that were unusually pointy and (2) looks that froze your heart. Yep, he had two causes of death now. Mhmm..

What? He didn't want the ability to read minds? Noah wondered why and then began thinking through the idea more. He supposed he would only want to read minds if he could be selective. "Maybe selective mind reading?" he joked.

Noah listened to Ewan's thoughts, intrigued by a mushroom that could fill you in one bite. Could prove handy on a journey. "Now that would be very useful on a trip or whatnot," nodded Noah, trying to wrack his brain for a few other ideas on what could be helpful. "Mushroom being food seemed natural. What if it gave you all the vitamins that you needed for the day?"

She needed a Third Year. Preferably someone who was nice.

Someone not intimidating, but who would be good with their hands.

Like a Gryffindor.
Like- Morgan McCarthy!

Yolanda walked right over and took up the spot beside the Gryffindor without even a tiny bit of hesitation.
"Hey, wanna partner up?" She beamed.
"NO. LIMITS. NO. LIMITS." Morgan chanted right along with Professor Rainwater, feeding off the man's energy. What other teacher would let him shout like that in class? He loved it and it got him excited for class, which was another difficult feat.

And they were going to be doing some sort of crossbreeding project? He just HAD to tell his dad. He would LOSE. HIS. MIND. That was his dad's whole thing and he would totally have a leg up on the project.

But for now he had to think up some super cool toadstool ideas. And before he could expand on the firestarting one he had mentioned in class earlier, he was greeted by one of his yearmates suggesting they work together. "Hey, Yoyo! Sure, we can be partners... do you have any ideas?" He grabbed his notes and turned them over to the blank back so they could start brainstorming. "Do you want to start with the blazing button toadstool, the one that catches on fire? And.. what if it yells as it burns.." No. "OR! What if it tastes like red hot cinnamon candies?" THAT would be cool. Okay, her turn to throw out some ideas and he looked at her expectantly.

From general information about toadstools, to a sudden turn into crossbreeding…As usual, it had taken Carys a moment to let her thoughts catch up to the professor. After acknowledging the point she’d been given for her answer earlier in conjunction with Phoebe’s, that is. Crossbreeding was definitely intriguing, just by the virtue of it created new and interesting plants, and she’d found herself doodling sunflowers on the margin of the provided notes, already thinking about possible ideas.

Although, maybe not toadstool crossbreeding ideas, and her doodles gradually had slowed as she switched from flowers to fungi in her mind. Whether or not it had looked like she was focused, which she was, she hardly wanted Professor Rainwater to think she was slacking. Not when it might prove more beneficial for her thoughts about studying the subject in uni if he thought she knew what she was doing. In case recommendations might be necessary by the time next term and uni applications rolled around.

So back to toadstools. Maybe there could still be aspects of sunflowers involved, though, if it was possible. A toadstool that searched for the sun, or something like that…Another person’s idea might be welcome before she got too bogged down with sun ideas. Maybe.

Man all this talk about crossbreeding makes her want to do it. For real. She is interested in the subject of crossbreading but at the same time she knows it will take time, mostly years of research and studies. They can't all just sit in class and then create awesome hybrids from 2 parent plants for the next 30 mins or so. That seems unrealistic but she's hopeful. Professor Gus explains it well. And with that, she does agree with the imagination they will be doing for today.

It didn't take her 2 seconds to reply to Jina's question. In fact she would have asked her anyway. "Yes!!" she replied with glee. And a familiar face also joined them, the Ravenclaw Prefect. She smiled at Missa "yes, come join us" the more the merrier of course. She headed towards the work table and then looked at Jina and Missa, humming as she looked at the empty parchment she readied for the two of them- kind of like a blueprint? Or notes. Yeah, mainly notes so that they can jot down whatever creative ideas they have for this activity. She can be in-charge in writing down everyone's cohesive idea for this.

Hmmmm..... she tapped the end of her pencil softly on the table.

Right off the bat, Missa talked about the poisonous toadstools, Jillian listened and nods her head each time. She does make a lot of great points with this. "makes a lot of sense." she said giving her a smile. "we should think of a plant that we can partner it with the toadstool and create a hybrid for what Missa had pointed out." She understood her correctly, right?

"Sure!" she said cheerfully to Missa when she joined them.

Jina listened to her housemate's idea and Jillian's response and nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, that would be a meaningful hybrid. Hmmm, Mandrakes have restorative properties. Imagine crossbreeding another plant with a Mandrake," she laughed. In her imagination, the hybrid baby plant would not only inherit the restorative feature of the Mandrake, but also its ugly appearance and loud crying.

"I was also thinking of the bursting toadstool, which explodes when approached. There might be a way to control its explosion, make it less violent, so that humans do not get injured when they try to collect potion ingredients." Like Missa, she was interested to create hybrids that can have practical uses. The ideas she had at the moment were mostly related to potion ingredients, because of her interest in Potions.
