Herbology One-Repotting Bubotubers.

[Professor St. James]

Holly finished putting her apron on, and straightened her patch-work hat upon her waving white hair. She waved her wand, conjuring enough stools to accomodate her class. There were ten work stations in the greenhouse, with two stools per station. Each station had an empty pot sitting on it, next to a pot with what looked like moss sticking out. The students would be repotting bubotubers, which she was due to bring to the Hospital Wing next friday.

[Sean Falton]

Sean walked in alone. His bag over his shoulder with only a book or two and maybe a fw items. He looked around as he entered the warm greenhouse. The sun shining all over him as he scanned the class.

"Whoa..." He said as he noticed he was the first one. Rarley was he this early or the first.

Well this is a first. He thought to himself as he quietly took a seat in the middle stool of one of the tables. He placed his bag on the table and rested his head in his hands.

[Amelia Kons]

What a beautiful day...

Amelia was crossing the sloping lawns of the Hogwarts castle, basking in the full glory of the morning sunlight. There wasn't a cloud to be seen and everything seemed to simply glow in light of the wonderful weather, including Amelia. Her pack slung over her shoulder she found herself in front of one of the larger greenhouses.

Sliding the door open she stepped into the hot, humid air which the plants thrived in. Surveying the classroom Amelia realized that, as usual, she was one of the first to arrive in the room. She was pleased to note, however, that the other student occupant of the room was someone she knew.

And...it was that someone.

"Hello," Amelia said setting her things on the table next to Sean in the space he had left available, "this seat taken?"

[Toan Kator]

Ach... Herbology. Wonderful way to start the day.... What? Oh great, now I'm one of the first to get in here.... just wonderful...

Toan's thoughts were bitter as he entered greenhouse. He had not gotten much sleep the night before and was up extra early due to some racket in the room beside his. His breakfast had been played with by a Slythering while he wasn't looking, and when Toan went to eat his eggs, they were all smiling up at him with their tongues sticking out. To top it all off, Herbology was definitely not his most favorite subject.

He took a seat away from everyone else, not really wanting to talk.

[Ariel Skyl]

Ariel strode in, a little unsure of where to sit. Looking around she took a seat by a lonely Hufflepuff boy, sitting away from everyone else. Setting her book bag on the ground, she looked at him. He looked tired, very tired, as if he hadn't been getting much sleep lately. But then again she didn't blame him, a few kids in the next room had been really noisy, especially first day of school. A little celebration, then again her friends were noisy to.

"Hi I'm Ariel. You are...?"

[Professor St. James]

Professor St.James looked up as her greenhouse slowly filled up. She cast a glance down at the parchment with the list of all those in class, and nodded. All seemed to be present. "Welcome to Herbology!" She said sweetly. "Today we will be working on repotting Bubotubers. The Bubotuber is a very delicate plant. It can be used to aid, and even remove acne, but ONLY when it is dilluted. If one were to smear the raw plant all over their face, they would in-turn be covered with boils, and could eventually die from it.

All of you will get settled down, and put your gloves, and aprons on, please." The old woman said putting her own gloves on. "We will carry on, once I know you are all ready."

[Sean Falton]

Sean had been drifting of in thoughts of his own as he began to dream about Quidditch of course. But when a voice ran through his head he turned around and looked at her. Yes it was that girl he had been playing eye tag with all last night. He smiled at her.

"N-Nope... Its all your's." He said in reply with a smile. And moments later St. James began the class instructing them all to quiet down.

"Put on your gloves and aprons." St. James instructed the class.

"Joy..." He mumbled as he pulled out an old apron with a few holes and allready some dirt. Along with his old gloves to match the apron.

Ready... unfortunatley... He said to himself in his head.

[Amelia Kons]

"Thank you," Amelia said, pulling the necessities from her bag along with several books on herbology she had picked up at the library before coming down. It never hurt to be too prepared.

Her apron this year was new, her mother had insisted upon it. Her old one had been torn a bit at the shoulder strap by the venemous tentecula last year and Amelia hadn't seen it as a pressing matter, but apparently her mother's wishes were somewhat different. She tied on the apron - a pale shade of green, and took her faded and dirt crusted gloves out of her bag and slipped them over her small hands. Her mother could hardly insist she buy new gloves - these had been custom made to fit her nimble fingers so they were sticking.

Say something......

Amelia tied the back of her apron into a bow and turned to Sean, looking at her mirror image in male form, at least in attire.

"Well don't we look lovely," she said with a flash of her pearly whites.

[Sean Falton]

"Yes you do." Sean said quieter as he got one of his Herbology books out and turned over to look at her when she spoke. he was tugging at a thread that was coming out of one of the holes in his apron before he looked back up to her.

[Ariel Skyl]

Ariel pulled out her apron and gloves, and set her book on the edge of her desk. Tieing it on, she pulled the gloves on. Unfortuneatly she was ready, and the plant didn't seem to pleasent. She turned to the Hufflepuff, he seemed familiar.

"Your Toan.. aren't you? I've seen you last year I think. Oh you might want to get your gear on, this plant sounds... unpleasent." She grimaced, and got one hand near her wand pocket, just in case. Luck favours the prepared, as they say.

[Amelia Kons]

Amelia, blushing slightly, turned her gaze from Sean as he spoke. His charming comment had made her, if anything, a bit wary that she was wearing an apron and gardening gloves - but he really didn't seem to mind.

It's just a bit of harmless flattery....

Amelia brushed back a stray piece of hair from her face and watched the teacher with anticipation of the lesson. She was concious now, though, of the way she was standing, how she was holding herself, and how often she looked at the Hufflepuff standing alongside her.

Please don't do anything stupid....

[Toan Kator]

"Huh? Oh yea... My name is Toan." He answered, quite surprised. He took out his apron and slipped it up, though he didn't bother to tie the back, and then put his gloves on.

"So, I didn't catch your name?"

[Ariel Skyl]

"I'm Ariel. We better get stop talking before we lose house points though." Ariel felt stupid saying the last part, but she eally didn't want to lose housepoints. SHe moved her chair away, along with her book bag, which was now on top of the chair. She got her hands on the desk, ready to work.

[alexiel]

Not wanting to waste any more time than necessary, Alexiel threw on her apron, and tied it behind her back before pulling the large gloves over her hands with a loud sigh.

Yay. More handling of dangerous plants. Oh, the great thrills of magic.

She rolled her eyes, while in the meantime trying to keep her sarcasm to a minimum.

[Elias Moore]

Elias pulled out his apron and gloves and other needed belongings to Repott a Bubotubers. He looked around he hadn't been close to anyone which was a good thing seeing as he didn't want to lose any house points for Ravenclaw by talking but Herbology wasn't one of Elias's brighter classes. He sighed, and then turned up to Professor James to show he was ready for the lesson to begin.
