Takuya walked into class, his black robes traveling behind him. He noticed that he was at least ten minutes late. Takuya started his lesson straight away, "I apologize for my absence and tardiness. I was getting the greenhouse for dangerous plants ready. We are taking a trip out there, and you will see both the Devil’s Snare and the new plant we are learning about today. The name of it is the Snargaluff." Takuya walked to his usual position in the front of the classroom. "Before we go out there, we are planting the Screechsnap. All you have to do is put those seeds into a pot and make sure you don’t give them too much fertilizer, or else they will squeak and writhe. Now, that is all you do, and it is an easy task at hand." Once everyone was done, he ordered, "Now, we are heading to the Dangerous Plants Greenhouse. Just so everyone here knows, the dangerous plants are behind a screen, so they won’t be able to harm or kill you. However, do not antagonize them either. I am not sure how strong they are, nor how strong the screens are as well." Takuya thought darkly on how tragic it would be if the screen didn’t hold up. Takuya then walked toward the greenhouse doors, and motioned, "Follow me, if you will." He led the way to the Dangerous Plants Greenhouse. He opened the door and continued to walk in. The Dangerous Plants Greenhouse contained of a long, wide aisle and on both sides were screens, and a screen inside the areas separated the plants. Some areas were empty, while the others were filled with bizarre plants. Takuya walked to one of the areas and said, "This is the Devil’s Snare." Inside that area, was a dark, barely lit room. The screens around it were black, not letting any sunlight inside. It was hard to see the plant itself, without looking extremely hard. Takuya then walked to the end of the greenhouse, and revealed what looked like a dead tree stump. Takuya folded his arms over his chest and informed, "It may not look dangerous, but this is a Snargaluff. It is a man-eating, carnivorous plant. Once approached, it will shoot out spiny vines, in attempt to catch its prey. However, once the vines shoot out, there are green pods, about the size of a grapefruit, that some herbologists harvest. Normally, I would ask you to harvest them. However, seeing how dangerous this plant is, I won’t be asking you to do such a task." Takuya turned his gaze back to the Snargaluff. It then reached out one of its spiny vines and it hit the screen. Takuya smirked a bit, seeing that the screen was strong enough for the blast. He continued to watch it, as the vine retreated. He thought that it would try to attack again, but it didn’t. Takuya turned back to the class, "The lesson is over. There is no written homework tonight. However, keep in mind what I told you about both the Screechsnap and the Snargaluff. They may be on your exam." Takuya watched the class leave the greenhouse. He walked out and closed the doors behind them. He locked it magically, that even an Alohomora wouldn’t work on it. He didn’t want any children going in, and getting harmed by the plants inside the greenhouse. It would harm his reputation and may even blow his cover, if he wasn’t careful. Homework: RP the lesson for full credit. Make it creative to your characters reaction to the dangerous plants. |

[justify] Ostensia entered the Herbology Greenhouse and blinked. Where was the Professor at? 'Maybe he had something he had to do?' The Prefect shrugged her thin shoulders and stepped further into the greenhouse. Hopefully Professor Blaze would be along soon because Ostensia was eager to see what they were going to do this week. They were studying dangerous plants this year so maybe they were going to plant something today. Or something else. It was hard to predict. But nonetheless Osa was somewhat excited to see how it goes. Ostensia sat down in her usual seat and set her things aside for now. She might need it later. It was so hard to believe that it was already lesson three. Pretty soon the year would be over and Ostensia would be a Seventh Year. Soon she would no longer be a student here and that was really sad in her opinion. Even if she did miss Damian greatly. Hogwarts had become her home over the years. Ostensia had become accustomed to attending classes, the Hufflepuff Common room, and even the Great Hall and how delicious it smelled every morning. Ostensia's thoughts were interrupted the moment Professor Blaze entered the greenhouse. Apparently he had been busy getting the plants ready. They were going to be visiting them after the Screechsnap was planted. Luckily it was easy to do. Ostensia put the seeds into a pot and made sure not to put in too much fertilizer in the pot. Once she was done she waited until everyone was finished before they all headed out to the Greenhouse where the dangerous plants were kept. They were kept behind screen so Ostensia felt a little bit less scared viewing the plants. Hopefully no one tried to antagonize the plants either. Some people were definitely stupid enough for that. The first area they looked into was a dark, barely lit room. Ostensia peered closely and was just barely able to see it. Whatever it was in there, it didn't like the light very much. Professor Blaze explained that it was the Devil's Snare. Ostensia wished she could see it better, but since the plant didn't like the light, that wasn't really possible. The group progressed on and soon they were all looking at something that looked like a dead tree stump. 'What is that supposed to be?' Ostensia thought to herself dryly. It was none other then a Snargaluff and once approached, it will shoot out spiny vines, in attempt to catch its prey. Ostensia jumped when one of it's Vine's hit the screen. That was kind of scary. Soon the little show and tell about the plants was done and over with. Ostensia hoped she remembered everything she was told in case it was on the exam. Ostensia gathered her things and left with the rest of her classmates when the class was over. [/justify] |
