Takuya 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. Takuya 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.

With a wave of his hand, the door shut, and Takuya announced coolly, "This is your last year of Herbology, 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."

Takuya 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 Deputy Headmaster 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. Takuya read them out loud to the class, "Mimbulus Mimbletonia and Venomous Tentacula will be what you are learning this year." Takuya 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, do the homework assigned.

Briar headed down to the green house. she was feeling a lot better than she had done the previous semester and she had promised herself to make the most of the final months at the school, unfortunately this meant classes too. she had always found plants useful and one of the first lessons she had learned growing up was what could, what could be used for other things, and what should be avoided. unfortunately this knowledge was not the sort of knowledge that was taught in this class. another reason why she wasn't the biggest fan of herbology was that she didn't like Professor Blaze, she still didn't trust him after what had happened in the forest almost two years ago with her step farther.
She entered the room just as the class was starting and she noticed that there were very few people in it, all of the classes seemed to have shrunk a lot since sixth year as people only took what they needed. she listened as the professor talked about the year, it sounded like a lot of work, especially as she hadn't paid much attention in the first five years of the course. she had heard of the plants that they would be covering before, Mimbulus Mimbletonia and Venomous Tentacula, though she didn't know much about them, they had fallen into the category of try to avoid, whilst she had been growing up.
Finally the class was over and she was just about to leave, she had to take some bottles up from the kitchens to the head persons lounge, ready for her sisters surprise party in a couple of days now whilst she had the chance, and her sister was in class. however just as she reached the door she heard the dreaded word, Essay. she sighed and made a mental note of what it was before heading up to the castle. to move the bottles, and ask the elves for the food for a couple of days time.
homework.

the mandrake is a plant that has an interesting life cycle. from above the ground they look like rather unremarkable plants, however it is the root that holds the magic. When they are seedlings, or infants they resemble human babies. however like most babies, remove them from where they are meant to be and they scream, a skill that stays with them for life. As infants their scream is enough to knock you our for a few hours, however as they get older the scream gets more powerful until it is fatal. as a teenager they are known to throw pretty wild parties, and when they become fully mature, which can be told when they move to each others pot, then they are ready to be used in potions. they are a key ingredient in a potion which is able to bring back the petrified.

Jeremy stepped into the Herbology greenhouse, his eyes burning him. He hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and he'd been up and about fairly early in the morning. Stepping towards one of the stools, Jeremy took a seat and put his head down onto his arms until he heard the professor began speaking. The young man had no plans to fall asleep, but he did want to rest his eyes for just a minute. Too soon, Professor Blaze began speaking. Jeremy didn't mind the man as much as some of the other students seemed to. He thought the professor was a fair man and a decent professor even if he liked Professor Styx's style a bit more. Jeremy lifted his head slowly and listened to what the professor said. He had no doubt that he would survive the class this year. It was the grade that was more important to him though. He would be sending these grades to Healer schools.

The Head Boy knew that a review was just what he needed. He knew that he couldn't possibly remember all seven years of Herbology. Thinking back, Jeremy could remember a few of the plants that they had covered but in other places there was just empty space. He couldn't remember a thing. Copying down the homework, Jeremy headed out of the classroom, yawning and checking the time. If he hurried to his room, he'd have just enough time to nap before his patrol.
