Kalif opened the doors with a wave of his hand, and on the table in front of him was a rather odd plant under a black sheet, concealing it from view. Today's lesson would be rather interesting, but he failed to see how it was dangerous. Kalif thought that maybe he had put down the most dangerous plants for last year rather than this year. Though the information for this plant was necessary all the same. The plant that was in the same class as the cactus in the muggle world. As the class filed in, some were looking at the shape of the plant under the cloth. Kalif had to go through methods just to obtain this plant. As soon as he mentally did role, he walked over and shut the doors rather than using magic. Kalif walked down to where he was standing before, and greeted the class, "Morning, and as you all know, this will be the plant that you are learning today." Kalif removed the cloth, revealing the plant. "Mimbulus Mimbletonia." The plant looked like a gray cactus with boils rather than spines. "This plant is most notable by its unique defensive mechanism which I will explain in a moment, and its lively nature. As for the defensive mechanism, it will only do this when it has been prodded. When it does, it will spray out Stinksap from the boils. Stinksap is a non-poisonous liquid that is dark green and its odor can be described as rancid manure." Kalif would not demonstrate this to the class, feeling that it was highly unnecessary and felt that the students would rather him not to as well. Kalif continued, "The Mimbulus Mimbletonia can cure shyness, timidity and nervousness. It is a very rare plant that comes from Assyria. Also, when it is touched, it makes odd, crooning noises. The last fact of the day and to wrap up today's lesson, the Mimbulus Mimbletonia is a member of the Cactaceae family, which is the spine plant family. Another plant in the muggle world that is related to this plant is the cactus." He released a sigh, and glowered at the students. "I hope that you have been taking notes about this plant. Now, no assignment for tonight, and you are free to leave." Homework: RP the lesson |

Eden walked into Herbology wearing her Slytherin robes proudly and neatly. Her pet snake Judas in his place wrapped around her wrist. Taking her seat in the front. Eden let her bag drop to the floor. Looking at the plant that was covered she could not help but wonder what was under it. Tapping her fingers on the desk Eden wanted the rest of the class to hurry up and show up. Finally after a few more minutes that seemed like forever. Watching as Professor Styx walked to the door and close it by hand instead of by magic made Eden raise an eyebrow. Interesting doing things the muggle way I see. As soon as the class was started Eden focused on every word that left his mouth. Last week had been an off week for her but she was not going to do that again. When the plant was uncovered and the name was mentioned Eden sat foreword a bit more. Mimbulus Mimbletonia? Where have a heard that before? Eden thought. Tapping her fingers on the desk Eden wrinkled her nose trying to think where she had seen and heard about this plant before. Could she had read about somewhere? Thankfully her questions where soon answered. Hoshi and Tohoru had used it in there pranking. Focusing back on the lesson that was at hand. Eden made sure to remember that this plant was related to the cactus in the muggle world. It was not dangerous plant in any sense of the world but Eden could see how this plant could irk someone. Soon after that the lesson was over. Packing away the piece of parchment that she had written some thoughts on. Eden was at the point where she no longer needed to take notes all she had to do was write a idea or question down or even a quote from the Professor down and she could remember everything that was talked about during that lesson. Picking up her bag and snake. Eden walked out of the classroom, and into the sun. O-10 |

--Azerail Varius was not looking forward to the Herbology NEWT, no matter how much he loved the subject itself as it seemed just fascinating. He wanted nothing more but to pass it with nothing short of an Outstanding. He knew that he could do it, because his brother was the one that taught the subject anyhow (though did not make it any better on him anyway). Azerail still had no idea what his brother was, other than the fact that he thoroughly supported the Dark Lord. Azerail could be so naive at times. He took a seat in the greenhouses. Professor Styx seemed rather agitated, but Azerail raised an eyebrow when Professor Styx moved to close the door. Perhaps he had been standing for too long waiting on the seventh years. The plant that they were going to be learned was under the sheet and Azerail was of course very curious as to what it was. --The plant that they were going to be learned was revealed. The cloth was removed and it looked like a gray cactus, though the spines were missing and replaced with boils. They were rather weird, but he did not think that it was really that dangerous sounding at all. Azerail heard that it had a defensive mechanism, and it would spray Stinksap from the boils. It was enough to make his nose wrinkle. It was dark green and wondered if anyone noticed that the dark green stinksap and the body of the gray Mimbulus Mimbletonia were the colors of Slytherin. Azerail thought this to be slightly entertaining actually. The plant itself can cure shyness, timidity, and also nervousness, and it was a rare plant which made Azerail wonder how Professor Styx got a hold of a rare plant. When the plant is touched, it made crooning noises. And noted that it is related to the muggle cactus, putting it in the Cactaceae family. Azerail made sure that everything he learned about this rather interesting plant was written down. Azerail glanced up with his silver eyes wondering what the sigh was about, before they were told that they were not going to have any homework, and also that they were free to go. Packing his things, Azerail left the classroom. O-10 |
