Landon had taken some time off for personal matters. And whilst the outcome wasn't what the man had hoped, he still wanted to head back to Hogwarts for the student's last lessons before their exams, just to make sure they were all on the right track. It was also a great way to distract himself. As the class walked in, Landon put on a smile before beginning to speak to them. "If you didn't know, today will be your last lesson before it starts to get serious and you will be heading into your OWL year. Unless of course you are repeating, but no one here seems to be needing to do that so that's not a worry!" Landon was happy with how well his students were doing and was glad to be seeing them grow up to their senior years where he knew they'll all do well. "This lesson is going to be fun, and I would appreciate it if you could all participate. Now, who can tell me what a bubotuber looks like?" Hands were raised and Landon pointed to a student sitting in the front row. He beamed when they managed to get the answer right.
"Yes, exactly right! 3 points to your house! Next question: How do you extract pus from a bubotuber?" Landon acknowledged someone sitting further back this time and happily listened to their explanation. "Thank you! 2 points to you." he told them, happy that they were all willing to answer his questions. "What colour are the dead leaves of the Abyssinian Shrivelfigs?" It was an easy question and a smaller student managed to get it right. "1 point to you!" he exclaimed, giving them a curt nod.
Once he was sure his students were able to answer any question thrown at them, Landon hesitated before speaking again, not really sure how he was going to cope with seeing them all grow up. "Now, because you're all wonderful witches and wizards, I'm going to give you all a small gift of admiration in hopes that you'll do well in your OWLs next year." Landon reached underneath his workbench and retrieved a box full of muggle study stationery, from pencils to sticky notes to old sharpeners. "On the way out, please don't hesitate to grab any of these. They’re muggle stationery... As a child I tended to use these a lot and... well, just take one." The man scratched his head as his students began to stand up and make their way out of the greenhouse, some deciding to take what he was offering and some not. He tried not to let the latter get to him too much as he happily waved them all goodbye from the greenhouse door, sad to have to let them go to another professor but confident that they would all do well nonetheless.
