Default Herbology Lesson 1 - Just Keep Swimmin'

Bright and early, Professor June Flamsteed is all smiles and waiting for you by the more secluded area of the lake. It may be a long walk over there, but a bit of walk is all you need to wake up anyway.

Hope you all remembered to wear appropriate swimwear, Professor Flamsteed definitely posted a notice about this prior to this lesson.


OOC: HELLO! And welcome to Herbology Lesson 1. Hope you have read the rules, if not - please do so before posting. Class will begin soon <3

Ooo, this would be fun!

Stretching first made sense though. Even with the gillyweed helping them breathe, they'd still have to swim themselves, and pulling a muscle underwater didn't sound like fun, especially when it would be a struggle to leave the water because gills made it harder to breathe outside of it. Unless there was a way to reverse it?

Actually, now she was curious.

Ivy copied Professor Flamsteed's stance and movements, carefully stretching her legs and raising one hand in the air - partly to stretch, but also to ask a question. Multi-tasking!

"Professor? Is there a way to immediately reverse the effects before the hour's up if something went wrong and you needed to get out of the water?" Everything would probably be fine during the lesson, but what about if you were using it in the ocean and were being chased by a shark or some other thing that wanted to attack you? Getting back onto land would be the best way to avoid it, but that would be difficult if you couldn't breathe normal air, yeah?

Oh, okay, STRETCHING. Phoebe was into stretching. It was better than answering questions and halfway there to actually getting in the water and swimming. Without needing to breathe. Maybe they'd get to play with the squid. Or a merman. OR BOTH.

Phoebe bounced to her feet and followed Professor Flamsteed's movements. Who even knew that they had to stretch before swimming? She'd been throwing herself into the water for the past 17 years without stretching, but who was she to question a professor? She'd never swim without deep lunges again.

Serena jotted more notes, but not for her benefit. She already knew these facts. It was more so she could sell her neatly-taken notes to some dumb-bo. Her parents were starting to ask what she needed money for at school, and they wouldn't give her any if she said it was to buy potions ingredients she couldn't find at Hogwarts.

She was so ready to get her gills on when the professor mentioned stretching. Stretching she could do voluntarily. Moving to the beat of the music? In your DREAMS.

Not all too enthused, the redhead stretched and followed the lunges. Those she could do willingly.

Kinsay was disappointed on two whole accounts. The first being that they were getting fish gills and not shark gills. The second being that instead of jumping into the water, they were STRETCHING? She tried not to look too displeased, if only to be polite, but it was still a bummer.

A pretty big bummer at that.

Despite this, she did some of her own stretches - starting with toe touches. She always stretched before gymnastics, so there was a whole routine she could follow. Professor Flamsteed's stretches looked okay too though. But maybe not dancing, she didn't want to move to the beat in front of everyone else. They had already done that once in Ancient Runes. So.

Noah had taken an anticipated side and back step away from Scarlett as soon as the professor instructed to move along. His sister was a walking hazard, almost always hurting him in the process. He'd learned over the years to evade it as soon as he'd sense a trigger to set her off. Any second now...

While the rest of the class moved along, he took another look at the board, committing them to his memory as he'd not brought his writing implements. But then again, Gillyweed was such as popular plant that he'd ought not to mistake it for something else during his OWLs.

Right then, stretching. While the others did not like the pre-swim warm-up, Noah quietly followed suit, knowing full well that cramps were a thing in the world of sports. With the drop in temperature, they needed it more than ever. He didn't mind the music, focusing solely on his muscles, careful not to overstretch them.

Alright, Nem was done here. Nobody could say they hadn’t tried. Or, well, plenty of people could say it, and might. But nobody honestly could say they hadn’t at least shown up. They’d even been civil with the professor, for all the courtesy she’d shown in return.

But that had only partial bearing on the fact that Nem now tucked their book away again, and slung their bag back over their shoulder. They had no intention of getting into the water, and it had nothing to do with swimming, of which they were perfectly capable. Music was also not on the agenda.

Before getting here, Nem had been considering hanging around, just watching the others or maybe finding some fun amongst the group, but now they were curious. Flamsteed had pointedly and wordlessly looked away at their greeting, and had not acknowledged their blatantly checking out of her lesson to read; how likely was it that she’d speak up at all when they left? It was obvious the woman didn’t want them here, but Nem wondered if she’d let them go or if she’d feel obligated to draw the line, but risk keeping them in her presence. Call it an experiment.

As the din of the music commenced, Nem turned and walked away from the group without a word.

Most of this talk about gillyweed wasn't new information, but it did bring up a bit of confusion on Avalon's part. Sure, she knew that you couldn't breathe in air after taking gillyweed. But she was just surprised that wizards hadn't yet figured out a way to get rid of that side effect. Wouldn't it be even more effective of a magical plant if it still allowed to you breathe on land, too? If Avalon was more talented in the herbology department, she may consider adding that to her list of potential spell inventions.

As she began her stretches, she couldn't help but notice Nemesis Upstead's sudden departure. Her eyes narrowed slightly at his retreating form, irritation pricking at her mind. She had been trying—really trying—to reframe her opinion of the Slytherin. Not exactly forgive (she wasn't quite there yet), but at least give them another chance. But every time they displayed that insufferable arrogance, she couldn't help but harbor a bit of resentment. True, Avalon didn't know for sure why they were leaving the class, but common sense told her they thought they were too good for this menial activity of swimming. Did she really want to dive into the lake with fish gills? No, not in the slightest. But she would never walk away from a lesson like that. Everyone had to put up with obnoxious lessons sometimes. It was part of being a student.

Shaking her head to try and dissipate her annoyance, she returned to her lunges, instead subtly focusing on the newfound buzz around her housemate Ashley. Come to think of it, the third year did look a bit flushed. Though she figured right now, in front of the whole group, wasn't the best time to ask her about it. Avalon made a mental note to find her in the common room later this evening to make sure she was okay.

*sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!

Granted June wasn't the fittest and will probably regret this entire ordeal tomorrow morning but at the moment, she was the most gryffindor she could be - and the lunges were soon followed by standing T's and forward bends.

"Dooon't stop, everybody! We are almost there" she chirped, walking around and making sure ALL were moving. "Excellent form, Miss Donovan, Miss Blaze" She wasn't entirely sure what a good form was but she had heard people use the phrase - so naturally she was going to use this phrase. As for Miss Fox - she just looked plain angry. Did she really hate mornings all that much???

Miss Grimm's question took her attention away next though, "I am afraid not, Miss Grimm. It needs to be flushed out of your system before the effects leave you. Some herbologist have been working on this though. So hopefully we'll get some results soon"

But loook at Evan Nam - he seemed like a natural. June beamed at the boy before her eyes darted toward Kinsay James. "Come on, guys, show a little more enthusiasm" she encouraged, "you all are too young to be so serious, okay?" she chuckled before taking Miss Nam's hand and giving her spin.

As the students continued moving, June moved toward the tree again, noticing very quickly what Nemesis Upstead was doing. And honestly? She simply sighed, a huge part of her feeling completely okay if they left --- but then, she found herself calling them out, "I haven't dismissed the class yet, Upstead" she simply said before picking up a small bag and walking back to the group of students up front.

"Two more minutes, guys! Keep it up!"


OOC: We are almost thereee. You guys still have time to catch up, I'll move us to the main activity tomorrow! <3

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash wasn't angry necessarily. She WAS in a terrible mood though, and thought she might have made herself sick. But she was absolutely going to get in the water regardless. Otherwise, this would be completely ruined, and she would have been better off skipping class, something that she did occasionally.

But she wasn't going to say that, and so she just shook her head at Claudine. "Nah, I just wasn't expecting to be exercising this much." A flimsy excuse, considering the fact that Ash exercised all the time and was sweating a lot more than was required for a simple warm-up. Okay, it was a terrible excuse, but Ash had like, 5 seconds to think of a response. It was the only thing she could think of. And if anything, the bad lie sent a message that there was something wrong but she didn't wanna talk about it, now or ever. Which... might actually be the message she wanted to send subconsciously. A pretty good distress signal.

Ash also thought she might be a little pale, which didn't even make sense when she was already turning pink. Bruhhh. Idiot human body making it clear when something was wrong. Absolutely ridiculous. But again... maybe in her subconscious self-interest?

Anyway, Ash continued with doing the exercises and thinking foul-tasting thoughts, her mood growing worse by the minute. Gosh, she needed the water. If she could just hold on for a couple more minutes, she could get in the water and wash off the bad mood. Just a little bit longer...

This may be the first Herbology lesson that Quinn truly dreaded. Yes, they may only be swimming in the shallower part of the lake, but that didn't make Quinn feel much better. But he wouldn't make a scene... he would just... go along with it. Not a big deal. If everyone else was going to do it, he would, too.

Quinn started doing the stretches along with the Professor, though with a very poor form that didn't get much real stretching done. He eyed Ash and the other girls, wondering if Ash was really going to be alright. Quinn was kind of a wimp and even he wasn't sweating as much as Ash was.

So they weren't ignoring each other. Not right now, at any rate.

Nem half turned to look, but slowed only slightly. Yes, very much aware the class had not been dismissed. Depending how you looked at it, they were really just doing the best thing for everyone and getting out of her hair, letting the lesson go on as planned without more any more distractions. Such a good kid. "I'll report myself to Trent, don't worry." Or maybe Recard, actually, dependent on who was busy teaching, and who they ran into first. Saved Flamsteed another job.

Such a good kid.

"Peace." They continued on their way.

FINALLY - they were getting moving. Remy was starting to get cold with just this robe and swimming costume on! She staaared at the older student who was walking out of class and hoped there would be a big scene about to happen.

Anyway, back to the activity. Remy spread out her arms to make sure she had plenty of space around her, and started to wave her arms in response to the music being played. Remy mimicked the Professor and placed her hands on her hips and then moving into a few lunges.

Perhaps she didn’t hold the stretches for very long because… she just wanted that Gillyweed now.

Violet hated getting wet and she hated exercising, so she was not much enthused about today's class. But, she gamely began doing the warm-ups, though without much enthusiasm. At least it was just exercise--when Professor Flamsteed had gotten out the record player, Violet had been afraid for a minute that she was going to make them dance like Professor Gunter had.

The exercises were at least making her feel more awake, so there was that.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Ashley was upset about something, but she didn't give it much attention--Ash was always upset about something or other nowadays, and Violet's past attempts to bring her out of it hadn't been very successful, so she'd given up. Besides, Claudine was talking to her, she could probably handle things. Violet put it out of her mind.

The Professor might have said that this swimming expedition would be perfectly safe, but Misa didn't believe it. The water was no fun. Water was meant to be ON and not IN. She was not pleased about any of this as she swayed in time to the music. She nervously glanced at the water every few seconds as she did.

Paying little mind to not-a-crybaby-Victoria (but it WAS swell, wasn't it?) and mostly just pleased that she agreed with him, Atlas' attention easily shifted back to his aunt and...oh no.

Oh no.

Oh no no no no no.

Dancing. All Atlas needed now for complete and utter humiliation was there to be an actual school function that involved dancing. Like a Yule Ball or something. Only the more he stood there and just stared at his Herbology professor, the more he pieced together was that this wasn't so much dancing as it was stretching and there just happened to also be music playing. It was a distinction that made it easy enough for him to relax and get into the position Auntie June was currently leading.

Lunges, to be precise. And RIGHT one two three four five six seven...LEFT one two three four five six seven...

And then...Nemesis Upstead was leaving? Atlas found his head turning enough that his body twisted...and twisting in that way while in a lunge position made for his equilibrium to go completely off balance and FLOP he went on to his side. His aviators fell off as well and took a small tumble...and when Atlas scampered to pull himself up off the ground, his entire left side was covered in a thin layer of mud. As were his swim trunks. As were the aviators who had flopped into a muddy patch as well.

Looking like half Swamp Thing half Atlas FLamsteed, he stood in a limp starfish position.

"....can we get in yet?"

Partly to wash off, you see.

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

Definitely she wasn’t the only one who noticed Ashley’s extremely red face for whatever reason. At least Lisa, Quinn and Violet did. Claudine was also vaguely aware that Nemesis was, as usual, rudely defying authority. A wave of hatred for them shot through her but Ash’s voice cut that short. Her eyebrows arched skeptically. Ashley was usually hyper and active and had never reacted like this at any point in time that Claudine had seen. “If you say so.’’ She didn’t bother keeping the skepticism out of her voice. Ashley could bet that this sixth year would be keeping an eye on her.

Anyway.

“Thank you, Professor,’’ the Snakette replied happily. She seemed to have gotten better at these basic exercise techniques over this school year. So, the girl continued with said techniques. Mainly she followed Flamsteed but at times she did her own thing.

As she stretched and bopped to the music, she began letting herself enjoy the moment. This wasn’t so bad after all. And a big smile graced her lips soon enough.

She BEAMED when the Professor grabbed her hand and gave her a twirl.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This was so much fun. Was this what adult dances were like minus the drama?? Lisa continued for stretch-dance. Every second, she was getting closer to being in the water.

*sappysapper* MAJNOO, YO!

It was timeee!

"Alright, kids, lets do this!" June beamed - beckoning everyone over, and opening the small pouch she had in her hands. "I would like you all to be in groups of two or three. Because that is who you will stick with when you are in there"

Simple, yes?

"Once you have found yourself a group, come on over here. I have divided this gillyweed in a way that it will give you twenty to thirty minutes underneath. So, take ONE and only one" she said, the last bit sternly.

Kamran was on his way, yes?

"When you all are in there, you are free to roam - but once you have your bearings, I would like you to try and make use of your wand. Because I may have left something in there for you all - and whichever group makes it out with it will win something" June said excitedly, before giving everyone a look - and when there were no questions, she added, "okay, go, go, go"


OOC: Main Activity is up, you guys :3 Please tag your post with your team name/number. June will be around for questions and more!

Finally. Ash wiped some of the sweat away from her neck. They could get in the water and wash off these thoughts. "Anyone wanna partner with me?" Claudine, perhaps? Somebody not irritating, maybe? She felt sure that at least one person here would want to partner with her. This was a relatively safe water-related activity, which meant that she was more likely to save someone than hurt them. Which meant she would be more valued as a partner. She wiped away some more sweat, tugging at the neck of her wetsuit. She liked this wetsuit, in particular. Theodore bought it for her as a thirteenth birthday present. She didn't get a lot of presents that year. And she didn't find out about it until she was out of the mirror. So it was her favorite, and it reminded her of home, and it felt safe. The swimming would help her feel better too. Ash was sure of it. She was looking slightly better now.

YES. They could go in the water. YES.

But twenty to thirty minutes was hardly enough time! Also, he wanted to point out that a 10 minute time gap while underwater was kind of a significant one and he couldn't hold his breath that long. But...that could be a problem for future Atlas to figure out. Right now he just wanted to grab his gillyweed and get going.

Partners or a trio though....hmmm...

His instinct was to look to Quinn, but he had the sinking feeling that it would be that Ravenclaw trio for him today and...feeling left out just really sucked. Not to mention the confusing hot then cold, yes then no, kind of behavior Quinn had been exhibiting all term. So, hurt and with mild kicked puppy eyes, he looked around for another option.

"Hey...Lisa. You wanna form a duo? Or the start of a trio? I can...uh...tell you when a fish is plotting your demise."

Just because it was stuff she already knew didn't mean that she didn't like to be prepared on the chance that she may need it at some point. Once the lesson was over she would have to write down everything for her own comfort purposes.

Yesssssssss! They were going to be getting into the water and swimming! Obviously. Otherwise wearing their swimwear would've been a complete waste. Dahlia smiled brightly, still rocking back and forth on the heels of her sneakers. She was super ready to get into the water! And even more ready to test out the gillyweed for herself too!

Nooooooo! She let out a breathy sigh as a the music player began. Sure she loooooved music but she just wanted to get into the water already. The small second year placed her hands on her hips and got ready to follow Flamsteed. Allllllll of the stretching and lunging in her area were being done. She was going to make sure she was ready to get into that water!

Tad was making mental notes in his head about everything that was being said. He knew quite a bit about Gillyweed himself, but the answers were already taken and answered. Taking out some parchment and pen he packed in his hoodie he was wearing he wrote down some notes on the lesson to remember for later on. Call him a nerd, but he was always prepared just in case of something like this.


They were getting in the water? Yes! This was the best lesson ever! He knew there had to be a reason why they were in the swim wear, he was rather glad. Looking at Lia he let out a small laugh. He knew her all too well, she wanted to get in the water and test the gillyweed. "I heard it taste disgusting, we'll see, do you want to be my partner?"


He laughed even more at her sigh, he wanted to hit the water as well. Holding her hand in his, he let out a small squeeze to and smiled at her. "Easy there Lia." He knew she was getting a bit impatient and wanted in the water. Stretching a bit he took off his boodie and set it down.

Out the corner of her eye she couldn't help but notice how a certain somehow had actually done what she had been thinking earlier. A gentle smile took form on her lips as she tried not to giggle. She would definitely she borrowing those notes from him after the lesson

Dahlia beamed at Professor Flamsteed when she complimented her perfect form during their stretches. "Thank you, Professor." It might have seemed like a little thing to some but even the tiniest of things like that went a really long way sometimes. And she was glad to see that how hard she was trying was being noticed.

Despite the quietness of the laughter, she still heard it as she continued to stretch some more as instructed. Turning her head just enough so only he Tadhg would see, Lia quickly stuck her tongue out at him in response to his laughing. She was gonna get him back for that. "Mm, I know but I don't really care if it does or not." The taste was something she would have to simply deal with to get to the end results.

FINALLY!!!

It was time to get in the water! Lia grinned widely. Partners. Got it. Blue eyes flickered over towards Tad standing beside her just in time to here his question. "Obviously." They were pretty much always partners, unless they weren't. She took a moment to remove her hoodie and place it into her bag with the rest of her things, no point in get it wet.

Grabbing Tadhg's hand once again she headed over to Professor Flamsteed to get her bit of gillyweed. Cupping the slimy cold gillyweed in her hand, she walked over towards the lake where they were supposed to be getting into the water. "Ready?" Cause she was!

FSLKJFHKSLF

AND IT WAS CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW!?!?!?!?! AND WHY weren't ALL CLASSES this FUN??????? It should be a THING.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'M READY!!!!!!!" She announced to no one in particular, going straight up to get some gillyweed without finding a partner or whatever first. SHE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN TEAMS OR WINNING, SHE JUST WANTED TO SWIM WHILE BREATHING.

AND BREATHE WHILE SWIMMING.

UNDERWATER.

And the THING they had to find? Yeah, she was NOT interested, NOPE. She WOULD have her wand at the ready, though not for much because she knew hardly any spells anyway, but JUST so she could SEE UNDERWATER.

WHILE BREATHING.

SPOILER!!: mini activity catchup
Yes, Heath was concerned about the swimming part of the lesson, but not for the reasons Professor Flamsteed was probably thinking. He wasn’t worried about drowning - he knew how to swim! He was worried about looking ridiculous in a swimsuit in front of all these people! He tried to distract himself from his fears by jotting down the information written on the chalkboard. Just when he thought he couldn’t feel any more self-conscious, the music started, and his heart dropped. Oh, no! This was Ancient Runes all over again… though in this case, the movement made a lot more sense.

After a moment of deliberation, Heath decided he’d look less silly if he followed Professor Flamsteed’s movements, rather than try to make up his own. He was an actor, not a choreographer! Falling in step with her, he lunged forward on his right leg, raising his left arm overhead. As he switched sides, he spotted Ash out of the corner of his eye. Was he just imagining things or did she seem… off? Apparently not, as he overheard Claudine asking her what was wrong. He decided to stay out of it for now, though he did give Ash a small encouraging smile as he moved on to the arm movements.


Thank Merlin that part was over! Having completed the series of stretches, Heath turned his attention to the professor, paying close attention to the instructions. Body image issues aside, he had to admit he was more than a little excited to explore the lake, but why did this have to be a competition? Did Professor Flamsteed not know how ruthless some students could be? Wasn’t experiencing gillyweed’s effects firsthand interesting enough without having to be about winning? He certainly thought so!

First things first, he had to deal with the group work aspect before he could worry about the competition. Luckily, he didn’t have to look far for a potential partner. His first instinct was to ask the girlfriend, but before he could speak, he heard Ash asking for a partner. That gave him a better idea! “What if the three of us form a group?” he said, his dark eyes darting from Ash’s face to Claudine’s in search of a reaction from either of them.

"Hey...Lisa. You wanna form a duo? Or the start of a trio? I can...uh...tell you when a fish is plotting your demise."

TIME TO GO SWIMMING!! Weeeeee!!!

Lisa turned to her left to see Atlas addressing her. Oh cool! He wanted to be partners? A smile flashed across her lips and she beamed at him. “I’d love to be a duo or trio!” she said happily before chuckling when she heard his comment. She headed closer to him and was tempted to link arms with her new friend!! Maybe later she’d do that?

I’d love that. I need all the help I can get with creatures,” she laughed, appreciating the reference he made to the Kneazle that was unimpressed with her. It was a little gesture but it meant a lot to the Ravenclaw. “What do you think Gillyweed tastes like?

Lisa did stop in her tracks when she saw Lia and her special friend. THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS? Awww... how cute! But also gross cause cooties but they were so so cute. Oh wait a minute... was this Lia’s SPECIAL FRIEND??!? It must have been.... She didn’t think she had to hold partners with Atlas like that... or did she? She flushed pink at the thought. “Err... I don’t remember holding hands being an instruction,” she whispered to Atlas.

She flipped her hair confidently before resting her hand on her hip. “Anyway we should have a team name because we are going to win. We’re both smart.” Very smart so Lisa was confident that they would RULE this competition.
