Takuya leaned back against his chair behind the desk, quite tired from the lack of sleep from the previous night. He was glad that there wasn’t a field trip today. Instead, today the class would be taking notes. Takuya decided not to give a lecture, and let them copy the notes from the blackboard, and give them all a gift at the end of class. He muttered sharply, "Greetings, class." Takuya waved his hand and the blackboard moved from the corner. "We will be taking notes today, since I am not well."

It began to write the lecture down for Takuya, as he watched the students copy everything down.

Notes:

One of the cultures that are very inspiring for herbologists and herbalists everywhere are the Native American people. More specifically, their shaman. Which, ironically, does not have to be a man at all. Centaurs have a lot in common through practices. To clarify their inner eye, they burn Mallowsweet or Sage. For Shaman, they also burn Sage to bring clarity and harmony to balance energies

Sage

Sage is burned and used to negate negative feelings, to restore the balance to our energies.
Procedure:
Set the top part of the sage on fire to burning just a bit. Take a feather and guide the smoke away from you. Close your eyes and picture all negative things you want to cast aside.


Takuya made sure everyone was done copying down the notes. He smiled, "Now, before you leave, be sure to pick up a piece of Sage along with a feather on your way out. They are located in that basket beside the exit. You may leave."

Homework: RP the lesson

Minoas wasn't expecting another field trip for today's class. Sure it was fun for them but it was a great responsibility at the same time for the professor, to have a bunch of teenager wizards and witches risking their secret identity to muggles. Moreover. it was one of the rare times that the young lion would prefer to stay in the usual greenhouse rather than venturing outside Hogwarts boundaries. He raised an eyebrow when the professor announced that they were going to simply take notes. The professor's excuse made him snort. Why students couldn't use them same one. They were required to attend to their classes but the professor's had the right to substitute a good, informative lesson with just plain note taking that they could do that on their own, without having to walk all the way to the greenhouses? The world seemed so unfair to him.
Despite his disappointment, he took some ink, parchment and his quill to note down about a herb named sage.
To make matter worse, it was that part of magic that he didn't really believed into it. It was balancing dangerously on the thin line he had put to distinguish true magic and divination charlatanism.
He rolled his eyes as he was unable to accept the fact that by burning a mere plant you could negate negative thoughts. In the end, he was glad that he was dismissed. He had enough dose of imbecility for one day. Headng to the exit he picked a piece of sage and a feather, not really planning to use it. He was convinced that even if he was going to burn the whole basket of sages, still the negative energy was going to stay.

[justify]     Proserpina Kali was on her way down to the Greenhouses when she thought that she should turn around and head back because she did not feel like attending that much at all. However the Hufflepuff made her way across the lawns and she entered the greenhouses. Proserpina looked over and she could see the Gryffindor guy already here. Shrugging, she took her seat and she looked up at Professor Blaze. After everyone else was into the classroom, it sounded like Professor Blaze was in a bad mood, and wondered if she missed another issue of Rumor Has It. She was lucky enough to have dodged it, and Proserpina was relieved. They were not taking notes today because Professor Blaze was not feeling well. That made her somewhat feel bad for the guy but it sounded more like he was just in a bad mood.

     Proserpina looked up at the notes, and she copied down the notes onto her fresh parchment. It never took long for the Hufflepuff girl to write down the notes. Now they were able to leave after they were able to pick up a piece of Sage. Proserpina wondered if it would work. She smiled as she grabbed her things, and a piece of sage. All it took was an open mind. She could not wait to try it out! Must be like bath salts! But in the magical ways. She rushed up the lawn, passing up her peers so that she could try it out.
