Third Years, Lesson Two

Out of all of the lessons Landon was to teach, today's lesson had to be by far the best one. He was so exceptionally excited for it that he dressed in his best muggle clothes and came to class early just so he could place all of the pamphlets he had on each of the desks and make sure everything was perfect in the classroom before leaving. Travelling was always his favourite thing to do. He hoped that this excursion outside of the classroom would teach the students as much as it could. In Landon's opinion, travelling was always good to learn new things and if the children did not listen today then it would be their own fault if they happened to fail their exam.

Student after student, they all eventually came walking in which just made Landon even more excited. He hoped that they would all be on their best behaviour. "Before you ask about the paper and pouch in front, we are taking a field trip to Chelsea Physic Gardens, in the heart of London. The pamphlet explains the rich history of the expansive garden. In the pouch are twenty galleons in there. It is for the fair." Landon quickly began the lesson once everyone had finally made their way inside. "The fair will be to celebrate Winterfest which hopefully will make the trip even better! Leave your bags here and we are leaving by portkey."

Landon led the students past the gates where he had them place their hand on a boot. In moments, they were spiraling through the air and landed on a grassy hill. Landon, who landed on his feet perfectly, looked around first to see if all of his students were alright and then pointed out the lands of Chelsea Physic Gardens. "It was founded back in 1673 by apothecaries. Its vast lands and plants were used as a good tool for teaching their apprentices about their craft. Obviously it's been added onto and has changed owners throughout the centuries."

Along the sprawling gardens there were huge tents set up, filled with merchants selling their wares. Landon turned to his students and warned, "You have two hours here. I will be walking around, making sure no one is up to any trouble. Split up or pair off and go enjoy yourselves." Landon pulled out many enchanted maps for the entire class. He explained, "This is a map of the entire grounds. It has all of us on there, except me of course. You will see a dot with your name on it. In the corner is an hourglass, telling you when to be back at the portkey on the hill back to the castle." With that, Landon departed, heading about his own ways.

Assignment: RP the lesson.
 
Henri walked into the herbology green house and took his usual spot in the room. he groaned loudly as they were told that htey'd be going on a field trip. He took the money and the ticket and then with the professor and eeryone else was transported with the portkey to the gardens. A younger henri who was much more interested in bugs would've killed for this, but he didn't care as much. he ventured off when he was allowed to exploring but not really caring too much about it. Henri was glad when they were brought back to the classroom and then able to head out of the room.
 
Tess wasn’t the happiest leading into the second week of the semester. She tried out for the quidditch team yet again and failed, and just like last time, she spent so long crying in her dormitory about it. She just wanted to be like her mother and be one of the best on the pitch, and she wasn’t going to have the opportunity to get any better at flying if they didn’t let her. With dark circles under her eyes, Tess made her way to her classes.

As Tess entered the Herbology greenhouse, she made her way to the back of the classroom to take a seat. She didn't want her father to see that she had been crying, so wanted to be as far away from him as possible. Despite this, she knew that he probably knew that she would be.

As he announced that they were going on a field trip, Tess sighed. She loved field trips, but today she really wasn't in the mood for it, and she knew her father would be pulling her up after class to ask how the tryouts went, and she really wasn't looking forward to it. She kept to the back of the crowd as they gathered around after portkeying to the gardens. She had to admit that they were rather pretty and she really liked walking around and seeing all the plants. It had a little bit of history however Tess was unsure what exactly she needed to take note of for the exam. She kept to herself the whole time, enjoying the fresh air, and portkeyed back to the castle with the rest of the class at the end of the lesson.
 
Autumn’s first week had gone quite quickly. She wasn't too interested in most of what was being taught in classes, but was luckily that she was taking Herbology, as at least there was something for her to look forward to. She wasn't the best at the subject, but it was at least more interesting than some other things she had to learn. As she made her way to the greenhouse, she smiled a little as the professor announced they'd be going on a field trip. She didn't care about the history of the gardens, but she appreciated the beauty around her as she wandered around the gardens, taking it all in. The lesson felt rather short however as in no time they were instructed to place their hand back on the portkey and head back to the castle.
