Herbology 4:4--Hellebore

[Robert Shaw]

Recalling his previous lessons Robert was hoping and at the same time not hoping that this lesson would come. It had beena most interesting last lesson, with surprises of some random sort at every corner. He could only hope that this would be an easy going lesson being it was right before exams basically.

Robert had himself perched at the front of the room, his eyes showing he hadn't slept much the night before. He could easily excuse it as rushed lessons, but, really it was just nerves. The same thing it always was. Tired, fatigued, but present. All he needed...were students and he could get this over with.

The door was open and plants on the table. It was time, to begin.

[Tristan Howard]

Tristan walked in the classroom and looking around to see nothing really changed but plants around the tables. He wondered what they we're doing today and whats with the plants. But of course this was Herbology and Tristan didn't rather like Herbology. But no matter, he walked over to a table with a plant and waited for the others to come.

[Drew Thornton]

Drew had read the syllabus and knew exactly what was coming. He came into the classroom, chanting the name of the plant, making sure to enunciate each part clearly. "Hell... a bore... hell... a bore... hell... a bore... Hey Professor? How come we never study Funparty plants in here?" he asked.

[alexis]

Alexis walked into the classroom not really looking forward to what they were going to do in this class. Seeing Tristan, she sat at the same table as he did. "Hey Tristan." she greeted in a tired manner. Not that she wasn't happy to see him, she was just tired. Now she just waited for more people to come in so she could find out what they were doing.

[Tristan Howard]

Tristan was daydreaming, and then suddenly stopped when he saw Alexis. "Oh hey," he said to her smiling. He remebered what Jason said about her in the common room, and he wondered if it was too late.

"Hey, have you seen Jason? I didn't see all morning," he asked her. Truly, Jason sleep across from Tristan, but when Tristan woke up Jason was already gone. He thought he must of freshined up, and was on his way. Hopefully.

[Jahan Samara]

Jason ran into the classroom hoping he wasn't late. Seeing that there weren't to many people in the room, that must have meant that he made it with time to spear. He had just gotten back from his talk with Professor Stern when he had come in. Hearing Tristan meantion his name he said, "What are you saying about me?" he smiled. Putting his books down, he saw Alexis and smiled. "Do any of you know what we're doing today?" he asked

[Charlie Jones]

What exactly did Raynor mean that I was gonna do better in Herbology now? Charlie thought as she crossed into the point of no return. As far as she was concerned, she thought maybe a pop quiz came and "Charlie" did well on it. That was safe, she concluded.

So as she heard Drew pronounce the plant's name, she couldn't help but comment. "Hella-bor-ING. Don't forget the the -I-N-G at the end."

[Drew Thornton]

"No no no," Drew corrected. "Hell. A bore. There's no need to add anything to it, it's all right there. Seriously, we need to come up with better names for these plants." An evil gleam came into his eyes. "Hey, Charlie, you're the Herbology wiz... What is the scientific name for Hellebore, anyway?"

[Charlie Jones]

Charlie laughed in his face, responding with, "You ask me like I know and car--" Pause. A revelation. "Oooh.... ugh... She didn't..." She groaned. The taunts were going to roll in, she thought. This wasn't going to end. "You kiddin' me, right?"

[Drew Thornton]

Drew's grin got wider. "So you're saying your expertise is limited to ginger? Come on now, I find that hard to believe. I bet Professor Shaw would LOVE to hear your insights on this plant too..."

[Charlie Jones]

Charlie narrowed her eyes at him and shook her head. "Don't even try, Thornton. One word and you won't live to see the fifth year..." Charlie really didn't want to be in this situation. There was no way she knew a lick about ginger or Hell-A-Bore.

[Tristan Howard]

He saw Jason beside him asking if they we're talking to him. "No, we we're talking about bananas, right?" he asked in a sly grin. Not to anyone knew but Tristan has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and it was now the day it turned on.

[Layla Jimenez]

Layla peered into the greenhouse, looking for familiar face. It was an indicator that she was in the right place. Recognizing a few, she let herself in and was immediately confused.

"Bananas? They're not magical are they? I mean, I know I'm muggleborn and there are random things I still don't know... But Bananas?"

[dante]

There was no smile showing on Dante's face as he walked in to the herbology classroom. This was one of those subjects he would gladly not take if he had the option to do so which, unluckily, he hadn't. Though this was by no means because he was bad at it. He single problem with herbology resided in the whole fact that you had to deal a lot with soil, mud and all those things that tended to produce spots of dirts on one's clothes and to accumulate under your nails.

In hopes of going unnoticed for the time being he headed directly towards the empty seat farthest away from the professor and the rest of the students present.

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic walked into class. He was tired of always studying for this subject. He hated this subject for the simple fact he didn'tknow what was going on. It was a disadvantage to be muggle born and a transfer. Nic slumped into a chair and silently waited for his heck to begin.
