Fourth Years, Lesson One

Landon sat back in his chair as he watched the newly fourth years enter the greenhouse. He had quite enjoyed teaching them all last year and was excited for this year where they would be learning some interesting stuff if they were willing to learn. Despite this, he was also going to be sad to watch them leave and pass them on to Professor Castillo next year and was eager to make the most of it while it lasted.

Landon quickly took the roll call before starting the lesson. ”Hello, fourth years! This is the final year before you begin your OWLs which is the second most difficult exam at Hogwarts.” The man paused as he smiled around at his students. "This semester we shall be focusing on St. Mungo's. I do not like to say this, but it will mainly consist of lectures. I will try my best to make it as fun as possible for you though, so don't fret!"

"St. Mungo's, or St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, is the only Wizarding Hospital in Britain and is located in London. Most would never guess that the there is a close connection between the hospital and Herbology, but they go hand in hand! Herbology supplies them with ingredients needed for their potions and ointments. This year, we will be providing them with the plants that we grow and harvest ourselves. Also, we will supply the school nurse with a small supply as well." he said, hoping some of his students were interested in this. "For homework, please write a least a paragraph on what you know about St. Mungo's. If you're lucky, this will be the only assignment for the year, but I won't promise that. From this point onward I would like to see you all trying your best so you can hopefully do Herbology again next year. When you are ready, you may leave."

Assignment: RP the lesson. Do the homework assigned for extra credit.

 

[Lincoln Cade]

Lincoln sat and listened to Professor Carter as he explained that they would be learning about St. Mungo’s during the semester and providing them with the plants they would grow during the year. There wasn’t much to the lesson other than Professor Carter giving them an introduction to what they would be learning, once the lesson was over Lincoln packed up the notes he had made and made his way out of the classroom at the end of the lesson.

 

[Henri Fontaine]

Henri walked into the herbology greenhouse and took his usual spot in the room. His gaze moved to the professor at the front of the room and just took out his quill as the man got started. They'd be focusing on st mungo's hospital and healing plants, which was fine, he didn't mind that at all. Henri wasn't surprised that they didn't linger too long and that the professor was quickly wrapping things up and dismissing them. Henri packed up his things gladly and headed out the room.

 

[Carolina Morales]

It was safe to say Carolina felt a bit unsettled as she arrived to her first Herbology lesson of the year. It had hit her on the train back to Hogwarts that she and Aleja only had a year before their OWL exams, and while she wasn't sure how her sister felt about it all, Carolina herself felt overwhelmed and as if she had lost so much time over the last few years, spending too much of her time outside and on the hobbies and interests she loved outside of class instead of focusing on of course, her classes. She loved Herbology and always had, but she knew she still had a lot of catching up to do. She tried to keep to herself, mostly so she could focus as she sat down and took notes during the lesson. It wasn't too much for her thankfully, and only an introduction so she noted down to herself to read about St Mungo's so she could complete her homework before she caught up on everything she had learned in previous Herbology lessons. Carolina left the room when the class was dismissed and headed to the library as soon as she could so she could go through her textbook.​
