Kalif leaned against his desk, awaiting the arrival of the seventh years. This year was their last year, but also an excruciatingly hard year for them as well. They would not even have a break for their first lesson. Kalif noticed the arrival of a few of the seventh years, and saw that the class was still not as big as his younger years. By now, he had known them by name and faces. His black eyes stared over them, and once it was time to begin, Kalif took no second to waste. With a wave of his hand, the door shut, and Kalif announced coolly, “This is your last year of Herbology,” he began, “and your hardest year yet. NEWTs. I feel no need to explain what they are to you because your other professors would have done so already. This class you are taking is called Dangerous Plants II. You survived the curriculum last year, I expect you to survive it again, as you are adults, or close to it.” Kalif folded his arms across his chest, and continued, “This year, unfortunately, you won’t be learning as much as you did last year, but more or less a review of everything you have covered. That is seven years of Herbology that you need to remember by heart, if you wish to pass this class.” The Death Eater motioned with his hand for the board to come near him. Once it did, it began to write the two plants they were going to go over this year. Kalif read them out loud to the class, “Mimbulus Mimbletonia and Venomous Tentacula will be what you are learning this year. After that, you are going to recall all the information that has been taught to you.” Kalif checked the time, and thought that he had spoken enough. The board cleaned itself and went back into the corner. However, he would be assigning homework, and did not open the door to dismiss them just yet. "I know that time is about up, however, I want a detailed essay over any of the plants you have learned thus far. It does not matter what plant it is. Just have it done. You may leave." The doors opened. Homework: RP the lesson and do the homework assigned. A minimum of two decent sized paragraphs. Make sure you are on the list of approved students to post in here that have passed the OWL course |

--The greenhouses was one of the places that Azerail had been wanting to go to all year, not just because his Head of House teaches it. Everyone knew that Professor Styx played no favorites. Azerail would definitely know this because he was his half-brother. Azerail might not have known him for too long, but he knew him enough. Azerail approached the designated Greenhouse and hoped that things would work out just as interesting this year as the last. Azerail noticed that once again, he was the first student in the classroom. Shrugging lightly, he took a seat and glanced up at Professor Styx, in hope that they would learn something this year, maybe the plants that they were going to go over or something. He wanted to do something more this year, and wanted to actually get things done for the NEWT. The Herbology NEWT was known to be a tough test, but most NEWTs were though. The way Professor Styx taught things was straight to the core, and Azerail had to admit, though he would have liked a fun professor, they still learned just as well, and they knew more about Herbology than any other student that was not successful to passing the OWL. Those students would never be able to see any of the Dangerous plants that they have come across last year. The greeting was not so much of a greeting as much as stating that they survived the previous year. --The Slytherin Head Boy paid no attention to the other seventh years in the classroom, as he was listening to what they were going to be learning this year. The class itself was called Dangerous Plants II. They were not going to be learning as much this year? That was a bummer. Azerail though needed some revision over the past seven years of Herbology. The previous year was still fresh in his mind, but not his first year and second. He knew what Mandrakes were used for but that was about it. And that the cries could kill as well. He knew that for a fact, because it was common sense. The names of the plants were told, and Azerail wondered what they would look like. The latter sounded familiar actually. And then they were assigned an essay for what they learned, over any plant, the previous years. Azerail thought of a plant, and he would stick to it. Packing his things, he left the greenhouses to go to hte library to get the homework done.

"Just a few more weeks. Just a few more." Eden muttered to herself as she walked into Herbology. It hadn't seemed this bad her other years but she couldn't take it any longer. Eden wanted to be finally done with school forever. As she took her seat. Eden realized she didn't want to learn another thing. She didn't want to turn another piece of homework. But did she have a choice? No of course she did not. Looking at her Professor. Eden sat her head right on her fist she knew that today was going to be a very boring lesson when all Professor Styx talked about was what they where going to do this term and about there NEWT's. Just as the young Seer guessed. She was right. Eden let her mind wonder to the outside world where she could be doing what she wanted. She would be working at a job that she was sure that she was going to love. But first she had to get there. Listening to Professor Styx for a moment. Eden felt her nose wrinkle at the sound of homework. Nope not going to do it. Eden thought to herself. It was just one missed homework it would not kill her. Besides she had been very a good student for years she was allowed to goof off just once. As they where dismissed Eden picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom thinking of all the things she was going to do once she was out of school for good.
