Takuya smiled as his third years began to file into the greenhouse, there pamphlets on all of their desks, along with a pouch to go with them. "Good morning, class." He stated, smiling.

"Before you ask about the paper and pouch in front, we are taking a field trip to Chelsea Physic Gardens, in the heart of London. The pamphlet explains the rich history of the expansive garden. In the pouch are twenty galleons in there. It is for the fair." He smirked upon seeing their excited faces. "Alas, our trip was going to be a boring one, filled with facts. But I was informed that there will be a fair to celebrate Winterfest. Leave your bags here and we are leaving by portkey." Takuya walked out the door. "We must make haste."

Takuya led the students past the gates where he had them grab a boot. In moments, they were spiraling through the air and landed on a grassy hill. Takuya, who landed on his feet perfectly, pointed out the lands of Chelea Physic Gardens. "It was founded back in 1673 by apothecaries. Its vast lands and plants were used as a good tool for teaching their apprentices about their craft. Obviously it’s been added onto and has changed owners throughout the centuries."

Along the sprawling gardens, there were huge tents set up, filled with merchants selling their wares. Takuya turned to his students and warned, "You have two hours here. I will be walking around, making sure no one is up to any trouble. Split up or pair off and go enjoy yourselves. It won’t affect your grade." Takuya pulled out many enchanted maps for the entire class. He explained, "This is a map of the entire grounds. It has all of us on there, except me of course. You will see a dot with your name on it. In the corner is an hourglass, telling you when to be back at the portkey on the hill back to the castle." With that, Takuya departed, heading about his own ways.

[justify]     Proserpina made her way down to the greenhouses, where she doubted that she would have a good time in this class. The Hufflepuff never liked Herbology, but she would have to suck it up and deal with it. The Hufflepuff arrived into class and she noticed immediately that she was the first one into the classroom. That was not what she wanted to see. She felt like she was not exactly comfortable in here alone, but that was just the Hufflepuff. There was a pamphlet on top of the desk that she was sitting at, and she looked down at it before she debated on what they were going to be doing today. Other third years arrived and her nervousness melted away. That was good, because she could focus onto the class once more. They were soon greeted by Professor Blaze, and they were told that they were taking a field trip today.

     Proserpina found herself extremely happy with what she was hearing, and going to Chelsea Physic Gardens, a place that she had been to several times! But then they were told that the field trip was going to be filled with facts, and that they were going to be bored. Proserpina's excitement melted, just as fast as it came. Proserpina left her bag behind and she followed after the third years to see where they were going, before they were led out. Proserpina grabbed onto the boot, and they were landed in the lands of Chelsea Physic Gardens. Proserpina started to walk around the gardens and she read up on some facts and stuff, before she made sure that she was going to go back to the group on time. Proserpina simply walked around and she imagined things. As soon as the time was passed, Proserpina arrived back to the group, having enjoyed herself before she was taken back to the school which was better for all of them.

It was those kind of days that the Gryffindor didn't really want to abandon his bed and go to his classes.
It has nothing to do with the subject, which was quite interesting to him but the location. Greenhouses were transforming into torture rooms during those warm days with the assistance of the hot sun. Combined with extreme dryness, Minoas was feeling like his life force was evaporating in a slow and torturous way every time he was attending a class.

He didn't really care if Professor Blaze was going to deduct housepoints but the young wizard left his robes back in the common room and headed outside the castle wearing just a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt. He was already feeling thirsty as he was entering inside the confined jungle of the greenhouse. Not many students were there. Having second thoughts maybe? Minoas had started liking his visits in the dungeons for his potions classes now that the weather was unbearable. A place that he hardly ever used to visit as he didn't like its darkness and silence.

Minoas eyed a pamphlet and a pouch that were awaiting him on his desk. He had a quick look through the paper as the professor was announcing that they were going to enjoy a field trip. He shoved the galleons in his pocket and took his backpack with him before following eagerly the deputy headmaster outside the greenhouse. The group exited Hogwart's grounds and it was then when Professor Blaze offered them their portkey. Minoas touched with his fingers the shabby boot to be sucked in a vortex of blurred colors and be spat out on the English, grassy countryside.

As the professor moved on with his introduction about the origins of the gardens, Minoas remembered that museum they had visited with the history of magic class. They were definately going to act like muggles once more. He started spending the two hours that he had in his disposal by looking around but when he came across a really rare flower, he decided to take a picture of it and sketch it. The flower was called ghost orchid. Making sure there were no muggles around, he used his charms to capture and imprint the image of the hauntingly beautiful flower on a piece of parchment. He then noted down every single piece of information that was offered to the guest on the sign of the exhibit. He was planning to use this flower as an ingredient for his future potions.
For now he had to return back to the meeting point as the two hours were over.
