Second Years, Lesson Four

Landon paced the Greenhouse patiently for his students to arrive. He leaned against the desk with his Mandrake in front of him, and once everyone arrived he began his lesson straight away. "Hey guys! Settle down and we'll check on our Mandrakes." The professor waved his wand and the doors shut. "Retrieve your journal and writing utensils." After his eyes saw every quill, ink, and journal out, he continued, "Your Mandrake is in their shortest stage - Childhood. They tend to giggle more and play games in this stage. They require greater amounts of water, food, and a bit more sun. Now, look at the leaves. They are becoming more flamboyant in not only colour, but texture. They now have more of a velvety texture. Be sure to touch them gently if you wish." Landon's fingers softly traced the leaves of his root. The Mandrake giggled, as expected.

"Now then, I will give you some time to play with your mandrakes. When you are done, remember to give them food and water. Remember how we fed them last lesson to make sure they can reach the food. Once they are full, put them into sunlight so they can soak up some rays. I'll be walking around, looking at your progress, if you have any questions. Once you are finished, you may be dismissed." Landon finished explaining as he started walking around the greenhouse. He surveyed all of his students as they started their recordings and helped a couple of people that needed it, whether it be with finding them a place to keep their mandrake for the night or giving them ideas of what to write in their journals. He rather enjoyed helping his students and smiled and waved goodbye to them at the end of his lesson, glad that the lesson was pretty successful.

Assignment: RP the lesson. Feel free to RP Landon going around and helping your character as well. Don't forget to write your next journal entry too as this is a requirement for full marks.
 
Tanith felt like she was losing her mind. Why was she so worked up all the time? It was a rough time, but she couldn't rightly explain why. She didn't want to approach anyone, so she'd just closed off completely. She got ready for class, deciding to just be better at hiding it. Sure she looked presentable at the very least, Tanith made her way to class and stood in the back. She just sat with the mandrake, not really engaging much, though she was sure to feed it and care for it. She hated this- all of this- why should she get attached to this silly thing when she knew she couldn't keep it? She sighed, walking back to the castle and trying to brush off her melancoly.
