The second years, actually both first and second were a lesson behind but, curriculum's were adjustable, and it may or may not be a tad easier without trying to teach at two levels of understanding.
The topic of the day was the bubotuber, the next lesson would be far more, interesting, however as it doubled over the field of potions.
The door sat ajar, propped open only a tad to keep it from locking, as someone had charmed the door to automatically lock and seal from the outside if closed. Yet, they forgot greenhouses had windows.
All he was misisng now was students.

Kyle entered the Herbology classroom. He was wearing the normal school clothes and was carrying his Herbology book, his wand in his pocket. He was disappointed to see that he was the first person to arrive. Herbology wasn't really a subject he liked. He smiled half heartedly at the Professor as he passed by. If his memory served him correctly, then they were doing bubotubers today.

Parker slid into the classroom, attempting to grin at the professer but turned away at the last minute, and good thing to because it would have looked funny because it turned into half a frown, and half a smile. Sitting at the back she looked into her bag. Wand... check. Books... check. Gloves check.... Bubotubers today. Whatever they were, they didn't sound inviting to the shy muggleborn, so Parker wasn't very enthusiastic about today.

Harmony headed into the 'classroom' and walked quickly over to Kyle and Parker, nodding slightly to the teacher on her way. "Oh, what fun- we get to study more plant like things and deal with the dirt and bugs that surround them. I just can't wait." The second year said sarcastically. She wasn't usually like this, but she couldn't stand bugs, and insects, which came hand in hand with Herbology.

Parker gulped. She looked at Harmony, the only one with another wizard or witch in her family. "Whats a bubotuber, Harmony?" Parker eyed the bugs crawling around carefully, she to did not enjoy their company. "It sounds... boring really." She lifted her feet as one ventured near her feet.
I can't stand bugs... She shivered just looking at them. So creepy and crawly with all those legs! It was mostly the legs that disgusted her. How could you keep track of them all?

"It's this disgusting plant that looks like giant black slug." Harmony shuddered at the thought of it. She'd seen one over the summer on a trip to Diagon Alley, and she had not liked the looks of it. "It's pus will cause boils if contact is made with your skin, although, my mother said it could be used for curing acne, but I don't see how. The only thing I can see it being useful for is pranking the Slytherin's." She shuddered again. "Although, you might have better luck getting a description from a person who wasn't raised believing she was a muggle."

Or raised WITH muggles. Aston thought to himself as he entered the room, catching the last comment from the girls. As the day wore on, the boy was wishing more and more that he had grown up knowing about the magical world. It was interesting to learn something new, but it made things difficult when everything about the place was completely new.
Pausing just long enough to look around for an empty seat, Aston moved to the other side of the long table and sat down across from the girls. He couldn't help his next move and offered a small smile in their direction.

Addison slipped into a seat next to his brother and looked up to see what he was smiling about. Girls. Ew. Aston could keep his face from scrunching up in disgust. He did, however, stop himself from making any audible gagging noises.

Theodora entered the classroom. She had heard it was to be a lecture lesson today. She hated lectured lessons. Finding somewhere out of the way to sit, she pulled out parchment and a quill, absentmindedly doodling, almost hoping no one would start talking so she could look normal for a little while.

Kyle listened to Harmony's explanation, though he didn't think bubotubers sounded very interesting. In fact he'd much rather be practising flying or playing a game of quidditch. A whole class, a lecture, on slug plants? Yay... I can tell this will be an inspiring class... He thought sarcastically to himself.
Kyle looked up and noticed Aston Wallace smiling in his direction. His first thought was disgust, then he thought Aston was just a goof. It was his third thought where he came to realise it was Harmony and Parker sitting beside him. Nudging Harmony, he winked. "Ooh, look one of the Wallace brothers just gave you a 'look" Kyle said jokingly.

"Rubbish. What makes you think- "Harmony said, before she looked up to see Aston looking in the same direction as Parker, and her. After returning his smile, Harmony turned to Parker and nudged her in the very same way Kyle had done. "You know,"she said quietly, "He could be looking at you too."
The second year let out a small giggle before opening her Herbology textbook and setting her wand down beside it. Although the bugs made her skin crawl, and she really didn't find the plants all that interesting, Harmony liked this class so far, as it was the first one that day that her friends had not begun to talk about Quidditch.

Carter walked into the room and took a seat thinking about the lecture lesson they were to have that day. It was one thing to talk about people and places, but plants waz another subject entirely. He thought it was going to be really boring.

Parker quickly returned the smile then looked hard at Harmony. "Oh please he is totally looking at you." She returned the wink, but was not sure if Harmony caught it, because she had buried herself into the Herbology text. At this age, she didn't want to think about boys that way, besides they were still really immature, naturally being boys. She didn't mind joking around with her friends though. Maybe thier confidence was rubbing off on her.

Harmony laughed quietly. "I wouldn't be so sure..." She glanced up at the Ravenclaw boy, before returning to her textbook, flipping through the pages until she came upon one that dealt with bubotubers. They really were disgusting looking things, although, compared to the plant pictured in the book, the one she had seen at Diagon Alley was somewhat pretty. The second year shuddered at the thought. It definately wasn't a plant she'd want to give her mother for her birthday, nor any other occasion for that matter.

Seems at least one, or two of them actually studied the lesson. Someone has some responsability. Robert thought as he scanned over the room. Seven, well, eight if he included himself, but seven students, the presumable lucky number of most muggle superstitions. Rubbish in his view, but, who really knows, it may be a good sign after all.
"Right, good day to yuo all, I don't recall any of you from the last lesson, but it is nice ot know someone actually read the book you were required to get." Robert said initially, hoping they would get the hint to stop the non-essential conversation. Though, he really wouldn't do anything if they didn't.
"The Bubotuber, Miss Evans, if you would kindly repeat your description of the plant please, I don't believe I caught the whole thing." OK, so, calling the girl out wouldn't exactly prove nice. But, it was better than asking and getting a bunch of probable wrong answers. Best to go with one who was sure of themselves with their answer.
