Angel lounged back in his chair, waiting for the class to arrive, swinging his feet from a nearby bench once enough of the class had entered the greenhouse. It was always interesting to note who had made it through the gauntlet of their upper year classes to survive to NEWT levels.
“Hey guys, welcome to your first NEWT level herbology class,” he said, rubbing his hands together to get started. Hopefully no one got maimed this year. “By this point I doubt you need to me to impress how important your NEWTs are, or how much work it’ll require, you managed your OWLs and survived last year, so I figure you’re well and truly aware what you’re getting into this year.” Angel could barely remember his own final school year himself, it seemingly having passed in a haze of caffeine and poor life choices, but most of the kids here so far seemed to be the responsible type by the time they hit his classes, thank Merlin, he'd already dealt with enough trouble from younger students in Slytherin to last him a lifetime.
“This year’s module is Dangerous Plants II, just like Dangerous Plants I, but twice the danger. It will mostly be a review year, but I’ve still got a few fun surprises for you guys. Most of which are going to require gloves, so don’t get too comfortable,” he said with a sly grin. Hopefully they wouldn’t be seeing any serious maiming this year.
“For those of you who might like a chance to read ahead a little, we’ll be covering most of the plants you’ve covered from the previous years, 3 points to any student who can name one?” He said quickly, picking a few student he saw raise a hand at random to answer. “Perfect we'll be covering some of those, along with some new faces like the lovely Mimbulus Mimbletonia and Venomous Tentacula.” Angel checked his pocket watch before snapping it closed, deciding to wrap it up there. “That’ll be all for now, welcome back, I’ll see you guys next class,” he said, flicking the greenhouse door open with a lazy wave of his wand and bidding the students goodbye.
