Professor Blaze had his lowest year at the school today, his first years. They were small compared to the rest of the years at this school. As Deputy Headmaster he had some expectations of his students in this class, and he would make sure that they knew who he was. As his students began to file into the room he smiled to himself. "Hello first years," He started, clearing his throat. "My name is Professor Takuya Blaze, I am your Herbology Professor and I will be for all seven of your years at Hogwarts New Zealand."

Takuya's dark blue eyes scanned the room. He continued, "This is lesson one in Herbology, and I shall tell you now. Herbology is a difficult subject. What would you guys give as a definition for Herbology?" Takuya nodded at them let them know he acknowledged them to continue.

"Herbology is the study of magical plants," they said. Professor Blaze gave a single nod to ensure the student they were correct.

Takuya turned around to have his back facing the students, "Prepare to take notes, and they must be good as well. I'll make sure you have them." He turned around again and began his lecture, "Herbology is the study of magical plants and fungi, including their care and their magical properties and uses. Some magical plants form important ingredients in potions, while others have magical effects in their own right. We use magical plants to cure illnesses and to make life a bit more tolerable."

Takuya pointed at the chalkboard, "These are the class rules. And also the Points and Grading Systems are the same, but I will go over them, considering you are first years." He explained everything thoroughly, and didn't repeat anything. He then went over the supplies list. Takuya added, "I must tell you though, I am extremely strict. In order to pass this class with an O, you must give me your best effort, even if it isn't good enough."

Takuya watched the students, before wrapping up the lesson, "Use the rest of your time to write an essay on any plant you think will be used for Herbology. Make it a reasonable length, as well as neat so I can recognize what exactly you are writing. They are due by the next lesson. You may leave now." Takuya leaned against the desk once again.

Ai woke up early for class. And today's class was one she was troubled with, Herbology. The young girl finds studying plants so difficult. Memorizing has always been one of the easiest things for the Hufflepuff. But, memorizing plants, their appearances, uses and others. It has always been one of the hardest for her. The only thing she can memorize are those used for cooking, aside from that nothing else. And with that, she was worried on how good or how bad she would do in this year's Herbology class. She could only hope that her grades in the subject would not be too low. With these worries in mind, Ai finished preparing herself. She went out of the dormitories and made her way to the Herbology Greenhouse.

Upon arrival, Ai saw Professor Blaze and he welcomed them with a smile. He introduced himself as their professor and Ai also knew that he was the deputy headmaster. Ai listened as the professor had told them that Herbology was indeed a difficult subject, she also heard a fellow student answer the professor's question. Lesson went on for quite a while and Ai continued on taking down notes. She knew she would need them for future reference. Class rules were also discussed and explained to the class. Their class ended with Professor Blaze giving them an assignment. After class, the young Hufflepuff headed for the library to do her essay on Herbology.

Mandrakes

Mandrakes also known as Mandragora are magical plants that have roots that looks like a human. They are known for their screams and medical properties. Mandrakes, when unearthed, screams. Their screams are known to knock down anyone who hears them. The matured mandrakes screams, however, is very fatal and can kill anyone who hears them. It's medical use is to heal anyone who has been petrified.

Mandrakes does not only look human, but it also sometimes behaves like one. They were once moody and secretive. At one point they were known to have thrown a party. And also, they were once known to have had acne. Mandrakes are fully matured when they start moving into each others pots.

Conan had already finished preparing himself for class. And he was as ready as he could ever be. Today's class? Herbology. One of the most difficult subjects for the Hufflepuff. He was a bit ashamed of this weakness of his, but, he knew he wasn't the only one finding Herbology to be hard. His twin was also having trouble with the subject. They both were. And, Conan was grateful that a friend of his helped him study for the subject. But, still, he was having trouble with the subject. With a big sigh, the young boy made his way to the Herbology Greenhouse where they would be having their class.

Conan entered the greenhouse and saw that some students were already there, "Seems like Professor Blaze is here already. And so is Ai," he whispered as his eyes started to wander around the room searching for familiar faces. The Hufflepuff took his seat and listened as the lesson went on. They had been told that Herbology was really a difficult subject, and he also watched as a fellow Hufflepuff had answered the question given. Conan didn't bother taking notes for this lesson, he had already done so when he was reviewing in the library. And he had a whole other bunch of them too. Conan started doing his homework when the signal was given. He had started writing but soon made his way to the library to search for more references.

GILLYWEED

Gillyweed is an underwater, magical plant. It is commonly found and native to the Mediterranean Sea. The gillyweed, when eaten, allows a wizard or witch to experience changes. These changes are mostly useful underwater. The witch or wizard will have gills, and thus have the ability to breathe underwater. Also, it causes the witch or wizard to grow webs in their fingers and toes. These webs allow them to swim underwater at a fast speed. These characteristics will stay for an hour in fresh water. It is however, still unknown for the duration in saltwater, since it is still being debated by Herbologists.
