Takuya swiftly led the students to a soda glass bottle as quickly as he could. He touched it, and everyone followed his actions, including grabbing on to other students. They landed in a field of tall grass. Takuya, landed perfectly again, waited for everyone to get up and shake off the feeling of the portkey. He helped those who needed help up. Takuya led them into the dense woods. They then were surrounded by the locals. The largest male of the group stood in front of Takuya. He spoke to the male quietly, and the newcomers of the group left. Takuya nodded at his students to gather around him. He smirked, "He will lead us to our guide. No need to be afraid." They were lead to a clearing in the woods where a single man sat on a large, rough bark log. He was tall and stout, with a shock of white hair and sun wrinkled features. His eyes showed a clear blue. Takuya approached him, spoke in a low, tone, and then leaned back up to face the students. "Come. Gather." He said in his normal voice. Takuya motioned for his students to sit in the small grass around the man. Takuya lingered over the students. The man began by telling them a story about a great wolf that grew so large it eclipsed the sun and all it had once loved. To protect mother earth, a young brave climbed the wolf and threw in its mouth a poultice. The great wolf gave a mighty shudder and soon was its normal size once more. Takuya wondered why the former Herbology teacher befriend such a strange man. Takuya heard someone ask about what the poultice was made of. The man grinned, stood up, and pressed a flat paper package into the student’s hands. He did so with each of Takuya’s students, bowing his head each time. Takuya refused the package. In a matter of moments, they were back in their classrooms, after portkeying back. "Unwrap your gifts." Wrapped within their papers was a clump of flowers resembling a monk’s hood. "Write about what you hold in your hands, and why you think is it related to the story told today." "You are dismissed." Homework: RP the lesson and write about the Aconite/Monkshood/Wolfsbane and how it relates to the story. |

Autumn had dressed Hogwarts' grounds with a thin blanket of orange and yellow leaves and despite the fact that no clouds were visible in the horizon to block the sun's effect, the weather had became colder and the moisture had set everything wet and slick to the touch. Tables were turning all of a sudden. When the weather was hot, greenhouses were a miserable places that were sucking your breath out of your lung, whereas the dungeons were an oasis of dew. Now the dungeons had became a damp and chilling prison while the greenhouses had turned into a warm and hospitable place. It wasn't long until Professor Blaze guided his students again outside the greenhouse. The weather was too windy, piercing through robes and clothes. Definately not the ideal day for a field trip but the professor had different plans. Minoas touched the glass bottle of soda and was sucked in a vortex of colors before a new set materialized before his eyes. He stood up from the ground clumsily and investigated his surroundings. They headed to the woods nearby where locals were awaiting. Minoas had no idea why they were there. Professor Blaze wasn't sharing a lot about the purpose of their visit there and that had sparked curiosity in the gryffindor. A clearing revealed itself behind the trees with a man sitting alone on a large log. An eerie feeling was surrounding the man with the deep blue eyes who started his story as soon as the young wizards and witches settled down on the grass. At the beggining of the story, Minoas was still perplexed about the connection between that story and herbology. When the tall man referred to the sedation of the wolf, applying poultice, he smiled as he had figured what was the purpose of that story. Wanting to confirm his suspicion he raised a hand and asked his question. "About this poultice, what it was made of?" he waited for the strange man to confirm that the poultice was referring to wolfsbane. The story was symbolic, not talking about a real wolf but about a werewolf. Or this was just what Minoas had figured out. The man didn't answered to his question. At least not verbally. He handed to Minoas a flat, paper package while bowing. Minoas bowed his head as well, bewildered about the gift. The man shared similar packages to the rest of the students. The group along with the professor, returned back to Hogwarts. Like the majority of his classmates, Minoas was wondering what it was contained within the paper package but none of them attempted to open their own until Professor Blaze advised them to do so. Minoas unwrapped carefully to see a clump of familiar flowers. It was wolfsbane after all. How he knew it was wolfsbane and not some kind of other herbs? Since he had learnt that his best friend was a werewolf, he had searched everything about it as well as about the treatment that included that plant. The young gryffindor was going to store the wolfsbane in his ingredient kit. Who knew, maybe they were going to brew wolfsbane potion in a future potions class.
