Leda frowned out of confusion as Susie claimed her innocence, looking at her with a face that had guilt written all over it. She glanced to the bowl of nibbles the Hufflepuff had been leaning toward, making the connection. "If you're going to be sneaky, there's no point telling everyone," she...

Professor Layton had practically descended from the professors table after lunch like a spider emerging from its web to hunt down its prey. Unfortunately, Leda's prey today were the Layton, Lagowski and Baros children. She'd promised various parents under various premises that she'd check in on...

Even though Leda had only been here for one semester, it had still passed way quicker than she wanted to admit. Soon she'd be returning home to Mervyn and the girls, back to her life as a writer. She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it all. "Today's lesson will just be a review of the other...

Leda had to admit that of all the lessons she was teaching this semester, this one would be the one that was most interesting to her. She remembered it as one that had stuck in her mind when she'd been a student, and she hoped that a number of the current fifth years would also enjoy it the way...

Leda could remember what it was like to be studying for her NEWT exams, although she had a plethora of other responsibilities on her shoulders too. She'd been Head Girl and planning her speech with Liam, running the HM paper and the Quidditch team, not to mention looking out for Wendall, who at...

In all honestly, Leda wasn't sure whether being a professor was something she was cut out for. She may have only been here for a semester but she already missed Mervyn and the girls. "As a reward for surviving the snargaluff's last week, we've got something a little different planned for you...

Leda was looking forward to today, if not just to see who would be able to come away from it mostly unscathed. Fingers crossed no one would end up at the hospital wing, and while she couldn't and wouldn't make any promises, the thought was there. "Before you all get too comfortable, I want you...

There was a lot to cover in the fifth years Herbology lessons, and even though Leda felt as though she was rushing her students through the content, she knew she had to keep the speed up if she wanted to see them all succeed in their exams. "Okay we have two plants to see today so let's get...

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...

Leda Layton Temp Herbology 5-7

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...
