His third years, as well as the other upper years were on track with their scheduled curricle's, a plan in which he intended to keep following at this point. Winter's harsh presence was still felt outside, but inside the greenhouses had been..modified with temperature control charms to keep the intolerable, tolerable.
Pots sat on the tables, each containing a rather harmless looking flower but if one were to read the board they would find the words 'DO NOT SMELL THE PLANTS' clearly written.
Professor Shaw, was not present, and anyone around would find that his whereabouts were unknown except presumably somewhere most warm and enjoyable.

Anna walked in to the classroom to see Professor Shaw was not in the room. She saw that each table had harmless-looking flowers on each one of them. She went over to one of the tables and stared at the plant for a moment, then looked up the board to see the warning note. She backed away slightly from the plant so she wouldn't risk losing a nose or something.

Kent was beginning to realize that he was setting out for classes just a bit too early. He seemed to be beating just about everyone to the classrooms, including the professors. This one had left a fearful note on the board, warning them about smelling the flowers, which the Gryffindor girl in the room had clearly taken to heart.
"Wonder if the pollen would knock us over dead, or if it would just take off a facial feature," he joked, sliding his bookbag off his shoulder and placing it on a chair before unwinding his scarf from around his neck and shrugging off his jacket.

"I wouldn't suggest smelling it however..." Melody said in a voice to match her name, a bit muffled with her scarf around her neck restricting her words towards the young male in the classroom. She continued on with more words then she would have spoken in a day, "The note clearly says not to..." After saying this, her head backed down to her feet as she did normally before coming to a hault at the Slytherin's table.
Melody unwrapped her scarf slowly, and took off her light pink earmuffs. She asked with an obvious bit of polite manners, "Do you mind if I sit there?" Pointidly to the seat beside him. Melody knew she would have to meet him soon enough, might as well sooner then later.

"Ah, thanks for the advice," Kent joked, smiling at the girl who had just entered. "But yeah, go ahead and sit down." Kent hesitated for a moment, remembering something that his old-fashioned grandfather had insisted that he do for all women. It was rather out-of-date, and he didn't want the girl to think that she was making fun of her--what a way to get people to respect him--but the girl looked like she could take it in good fun.
Grinning, Kent stood and pulled out the chair for the pretty Ravenclaw, smiling with a mixture of flirting and jocularity. "I mean, please go right ahead." He wasn't sure if he would have risked it if the classroom had been full, as it would have been a little embarrassing to do in front of a group of guys, but it could only do him good in this situation. Kent Hall pulled out a chair for a girl. What an old-fashioned gentleman.

However, Melody could not take it as a joke, for she was a very serious person. Melody raised her left eyebrow at the young adolescent. She said imprecisely with a bit of sophistication, "I never thought you'd be so demeanored and of such a high etiquette. Especially for a Slytherin..." Sitting her small frame down she situated her small leather bag upon the table. She looked up at the juvenile next to her and looked back down quickly.
Melody was used to such manners, having grown up to such high standards. The Snake's manners would have been considered satisfactory in her estate, for everyone was automatically looked upon. One final time, the little Raven-beauty looked up into his chocolate brown eyes again. Mentally kicking herself, she said, "May I have the metronymic of such a polite individual?" Melody gave him a rare soft smile as she pulled her chair into the desk, for slouching was considered a sin to her family.

For a moment, Kent wondered if he'd made a huge mistake in pulling out the chair for the Ravenclaw. He thanked whatever ruling force was in charge of the world (not that he really believed in any such nonsense) that his grandmother talked just about like this girl did. Old, well-respected family, then, he mused, taking his own seat and making sure to maintain a calm exterior. That certainly wasn't a bad thing.
"Kent Hall," he answered, fairly certain that the girl had asked for his name, and hoping that he was right. Now, wouldn't that be a wonderful story--Kent Hall pulls out the seat for a girl like a gentleman, and then shows that he is truly an uneducated idiot. At least the girl was pretty, and he could blame any mistakes on just being flustered. Who wouldn't buy that? "I apologize, but I'm afraid that I don't know your name, either. Might I have the pleasure?" Oh, he had garbled that. Merlin. Well, whatever. It was already done, and he couldn't retract it without looking worse. It's hard being brilliant, he mused with a half-smile.

Jade entered the room and looked around. Again, not many people were there yet. She saw the note on the board and the saw the plants on the tables. She didn't have to worry about smelling anything right now. He nose was so stuffed up she couldn't even taste her breakfast. She took a seat in front of one of the pots and waited.

Lauren hustled out Herbology class. Her hair had gotten completely messed up from twenty minutes ago. Twenty minutes ago it was neatly pulled back into a pony tail, but not anymore. Now, it was just a fussy and frizzy mess of hair looking like it tried to pull itself back. She finally made it to class. But pulled her hair out of the ponytail and quickly ran her fingers through it. She left the pony-tie on her wrist for later use, which she figured she would need.
Lauren walked into the classroom, seeing the same little amount of third years. She saw on the board, "DO NOT SMELL THE PLANTS." Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, she only obeyed. She'd prefered not to fall unconsious only a few seconds into class.

Melody simply rose an eye at the young adolescent. It did not seem that such language was every-day to him, for it seemed slightly out of place. However, a name was indeed what the pale-Raven had been searching for, as she nodded slightly in his answer. Yet that story would have been quite amusing to hear later in life. If Melody knew what he was thinking, she could very much imagine Kent saying that to his grandchildren one day. She answered with a hint of irony, "Oh you flatter me."
Giving him a mischievous grin to show that he wouldn't have to talk in such a way, Melody said back in a voice to match her name, "Melody Fields... Pleasure to meet to your acquaintance." Gazing at him fondly, she gave him a complete look of innocence. It was hard not to laugh, for Melody had not a dry sense of humour. However, few actually got to see her fun side, for hardly anyone could reach out to her. Maybe Kent was the one of those few who could...

Anna just stood there staring at her pot. " Looks harmless, but I better not take my chances" she thought. She already learned not to judge a plant by the way it looks or behaves at first. When she was little, she had an accident with bubotupers and got pus all over her arm. She had to go to the hospital to get it fixed. Wondering, where the professor was, she kept staring at the plant and her classmates around her.

Ah, but this was an opportunity. Kent flashed another quick smile at Melody, then lowered his gaze back to his paper. Then back to her. It was a practiced routine he'd noticed one of his cousins doing when he was trying to impress a girl. Best of all, the Slytherin knew that he looked completely genuine.
"So, tell me, Miss Melody Fields," he ventured, grinning at the slight Ravenclaw, "Are you any good in Herbology?" Kent was actually better in the subject than he liked to let on, but there was no point in avoiding having a 'study buddy' of sorts for the subject. Especially one who talked with old aristocratic nuances.

"Not my best..." Melody answered truthfully. It was quite dull to the fact that they had to know the names of all the different plants and their uses. She, afterall didn't care, as long as she could climb the trees, and pick the breath-taking flowers, there wasn't much to do for this course. Memorizing was something Melody could do. "I've always inclined towards Care of Magical Creatures and Transfigurations myself."

Dan entered the classroom and briefly looked to the flowers set out onto all of the tables and as his eyes went over the words, " Do not smell the plants, " He grinned slightly and thought what and odd message that was. Given that smelling the plants could be dangerous it might be a good reason but since Dan did not yet know this it seemed humorous. " I promise... " He muttered under his breath as he moved to one of the tables and sat down. He then decided to stand up again and get a bit reaquainted with his peers.

"Mmmm," Kent replied in acknowledgment of Melody's subjects. "Potions and Ancient Runes, with a little bit of Defense Against the Dark Arts, if I had to pick," he finally concluded, deciding to embellish on the 'Ancient Runes,' which he had only just begun this year, and leave out the 'Herbology' and 'History of Magic.' Who liked to admit to being good at those, anyways?
He glanced up to see a Gryffindor boy--his year, Kent thought--standing around in an aimless manner. The Slytherin nodded and offered a small "hello." Goodness knew it was a relief to see some other guys in the class,.
