Ah, Devil's Snare, much to the third year's disappointment they wouldn't be dealing with the plant itself today, nor any other time this year. For October it was unusually cool today with the temperature around perhaps seventy degrees. Being just before the lunch hour it was sure to rise, but still unusually cool in his opinion. Then again, his specialty was plants not weather.
It was to be a most interesting lesson he surmised. However, it was not to be practical. Not this time. But it would raise their optimism and get their hopes alittle higher, something very much needed given the past year's events and the ever present security level.
The plant was located in the middle of the room, the surrounding ten or so feet of space having been cleared leaving a void of space for safety purposes. Of course while the plant was behind a shield charm and a more powerful preventive ward, that didn't mean magic was not flawless. Safety precautions did fail, this was something he couldn't afford.
Safety...Merlin he;'s had a student almost choked to death int he practical lesson due to what he thought was safe Yes he would have to be more careful this year. Especially with the Ministorial presence still at an all time high.
Third years or not, they were after all still children, most of who's parents cared for them. An accident would be rather...difficult, to explain indeed.

Jynx walked out onto the grounds making his way over to the greenhouses. Taking his time he watched as a bird flew from one tree to the next. He hoped that he wasn't the first person to arrive, but thougt he might be because of how early he had set out. Approaching the greenhouse he wondered what they were in store for today hoping that it would be something interesting so that the time went by quicker.
Once he reached the greenhouse door he propped it open and peered inside. The only thing that he could see was a plant sitting in the middle of the room. Noticing that there was space alotted around it he felt no urge to approach it. Instead he entered the green house and waited for the other students to arrive.

Matty had been sitting at the frount of the castle waiting for a good time to head over to Herbology. She finally decided that she would get up and go over to where the lession was being held, even if she was the first person. As she walked along the lush grass, Matty stoped and looked around the sky to watch some small birds fly and dance through the sky. When she approched her destination, Matty walked through the door and to her suprise...
She wasn't the only one there. Matty walked around a plant that was in the middle of the room before relising that the other student was Jynx. "Hello Hello, How are you today" she said walking over to where he was.

"Great, How about you?" Jynx replied turning in Matty's direction a smile spreading across his face. He recognized her voice the moment she had spoke and was glad that she had been the one to arrive early to. He was just glad to have someone else in the greenhouse with him, well some other student that is. "So what do you think that is?" he said indicating the plant in the middle of the room. He hadn't really gotten a good look at it because of how much space had been left between it and the rest of the stuff.

Misaki found her way into the greenhouse to find two people already there before her. This was good, that meant she wasn't the first one to class, however it was still a bit empty. As she entered, Misaki found a rather large plant in the center of the room. Misaki loved studying plants but if she was correct about what this one was, she had a feeling that this may not be a very good experience for her. Hearing a huffle boy ask what the plant was she said. "A plant that you might not like very much." she hoped that he didn't mind interupting the conversation he was having with another huffle. In the mean time, she put her stuff down and waited to see what would happen next.

Jynx turned as he saw another girl enter the room. He really hadn't ever seen her before, that he could remember anyways. Hearing her tell him that he wouldn't like it very much he replied, "Why?" He had never really been all that intrigued with plants to study them before class even started and just figured that he would learn what he need to learn when the teacher presented it to him. He didn't really mind at all that the girl had come into his and Matty's conversation. They weren't really talking about anything substantial anyways.

Kylie walked into the greenhouse only to find that there were a couple of students gathered in a group talking. She made her way over to where that group was located careful not to get to close to the plant in the front of the room, because she had a sneeking suspicion of what it was. She recognized one of the girls from around the castle and from her other classes. "Hi, Misaki and everyone," Kylie said as she came close to them setting her stuff down.

"Well, if I remember correctly, that plant is called..." Misaki started. She couldn't remember it's name off the top of her memory, but she managed to find it a few seconds later. "Oh yes, Devil's snare. At least, I think that's what it's called." she answered. Then, turning around to the sound of her own name, Misaki saw Kylie coming into the room and sitting by them. "Hey Kyile." she greeted her fellow third year.

"Well i think it looks cool...Even if it does put us in mortal peril" Matty said smerking at Jynx. "Hey, im Matty i dont think we've met?" she said turning towards to the two other girls and smiling. As she gazed back over to the plant in the middle of the room, Matty really wanted to know about it because it seemed very interesting. She turned back to Jynx before saying in a low whisper "Im great thanks" and gave him a smile before looking back around to the other girls.

Kylie looked over towards the plant and had to agree with Misaki, that was in deed Devil's Snare. "Ya, I'm pretty sure thats what its called," Kylie said in her usual cheerful voice. She noticed that the girl she hadn't met already turned in her direction smiling, "Hi, I'm Kylie and no I don't think we have met." She couldn't ever remember meeting Matty or the other Hufflepuff boy before but was always glad to meet a fellow student. Kylie liked to have a lot of friends giving her even more people to talk to.

"Oh well, it should be an interseting class in any case." Misaki said. Even though she sort of know what Devil's snare could do to a person. But, she still wondered what the professor was going to make them do with the plant. Turning back to the to huffles she just meet she decided to introduce herself. "And I'm Misaki Tsukino, nice to meet the two of you."

Matty noticed Jynx doing nothing really so she nudged him in his ribs before turning to the gils and said "Sweet, other third years i know from a different house, no offence Jynx" smerking back at Jynx. Two Huffles, a Gryffindor and a Ravenclaw. Sounded cool, no Slytherins yet...odd. Starling dreamily back towards the plant in the middle of the room, Matty woundered when the class was going to start, although it wouldn't be that good considering that there were only 4 students there.

"Oh, ya," Jynx said coming out of a slight trance when he felt a painful nudge in the ribs. He had been thinking about what Devil's Snare could possibly be and just how dangerous it could be. The name alone was enough to tell him that he didn't want to get anywhere near it, not that he even could if he wanted to. "I'm Jynx, nice to meet everyone." he said introducing himself to the other third year girls. He didn't mind meeting other people from different houses and was always glad to meet new people.

Another class, but all the same people. Devon entered the room and looked around. There was the Gryffindor girl again. He sighed, looking at her, but quickly looked away when he realized what he was doing.
"Ew. Girl," he muttered to himself as he walked past the group and plunked into a seat at the back.
Devon wondered if this class would be as cool as Defense Against the Dark Arts. He figured it was, as after all, it was Devil's Snare they were learning about today. Any plant that could kill someone was cool in Devon's book, and that covered a lot of plants. So there Devon sat, waiting for the lesson to begin. He took out some parchment and a quill and began to doodle, mostly drawing his version of some Devil's Snare eating a person.

Matty's eyes path had been cut by a on comming figure. She looked up and it was a Gryffindor boy who she had not yet met. Then smiling and quickly looking to Jynx she whispered "Im gonna go meet this guy. Looks kinda lonly." dropping her bag down and standing up proply. Walking over to the boy she made her way carefully around the plant and smiled as she walked over to him. "Hey, i'm Matty. Dont think we've met?" Then smiling again she stood to the side of him, just incase the plant in the middle of the room decided to stir.
