Even though Leda knew the plant they'd be studying today wasn't any more dangerous that a four year old wielding a pair of safety scissors, similarly enough the redhead didn't want to get too close to it for comfort as she waited for the seventh years to enter the room and behold the Venomous...

“Good afternoon, fifth years!” Leda was waiting for the class at the front of the greenhouse “Hope you’re ready for a little hard work today, we’re going to be getting very hands on,” she said, waving her hand to side of the room where there were a number of potted plants ready to be seen to...

Current Points: 150 Leda had practically cackled when she heard who was next on her list of victims. She'd sort of a real duel with this man before, and it was the reason she was so spikey toward him. Of course, the former Gryffindor had gotten exactly what he deserved. The redhead blocked his...

Today’s plant was already sitting innocently on the bench as the class began to arrive, rather at odds with other floral, festive Valentine's decorations about the greenhouse today. Leda was grateful for the distraction, turning away from the plant. It looked not unlike a grey cactus, only with...

The greenhouse was a riot of pink flowers today, which Leda felt was appropriate with all the Valentine’s cheer about the castle this week. She’d always enjoyed puffapods for what they were, which was mostly just pretty and fun over anything particularly challenging, but she hoped the students...

Current Points: 120 Leda was a little surprised to see her spell hit the professor, although she put it down to the fact that he probably wasn't used to be in a fight. He was the muggle studies professor, magic wasn't something he was probably accustomed to. The redhead lowered her wand at...

Current Points: 130 Leda blocked Killian's spell, thinking he looked way too at ease in front of the students for her liking. "Confundo!" she said back, wand pointed directly at his head. For a moment she wondered if her children had even used this spell on her, since she always seemed confused...

Current Points: 140 Leda knew she was up against a professional when Killian tried to make her throw up toads. Disgusting, yet impressive. "Graviatus," she fired back with a frown. Action(s) Taken: Cast spell x2 Point Changes: -10 Points Remaining: 130

Current Points: 150 Leda gave Professor Fox a little curtsey, not feeling like a bow was for her, before straightening back up and getting into a stance Monty could have been proud of. "Really? Expelliarmus?" Leda chuckled, blocking it easily. "You have to have a bit more imagination than that...

Leda had been up to her neck compost, after repotting most of the plants that were along the back of the greenhouse. By the time she'd finally finished, the redhead had reemerged with twigs stuck in her hair and dirt smeared on her cheeks. This was certainly different from the life she was used...

The thing about teaching the upper years, was that more often than not Leda assumed the kids would mistake her for one of them. Over the last few days, she'd been gallivanting around the castle and had come to realise she'd not grown an inch since she was in her own Slytherin robes, and even...

Leda had only asked the girl if she was a writer, because she wanted to meet the authors of the Hogwarts Monthly. She'd been reading the issue from the last semester with great intrigue, given her own experience. "Poems?" Leda had been more the type to write about things that were factual...

Leda was slightly alarmed to see a red rose in her hand. Was it from James? "Thank.. you," Leda suspiciously opened the note, relaxing as she realised it was from Finley, a smile replacing her previous frown. She'd promised her best friend she'd look out for the Gryffindor while she was at...

Leda hadn't been at the school for long enough to expect any roses, so when a young girl came wandering through the greenhouses calling out for her, she could only assume it was related to her class. The girl was taller than she was, and she looked up to the brunette with a quizzical frown, "Has...
