Landon was very excited for his next lesson with his third years. He couldn't help but want to take them to another country again. The particular country he was going to take them to he had visited for himself once before and he knew that his students were going to love it. The man stood at the front of his classroom, unable to get rid of his smile that was planted on his face. He knew after a very successful travel trip last time that they were going to be able to be trusted this time and was eager to get started. When he was sure everyone had arrived he quickly began. "Today we are going to be going on another field trip!" he exclaimed, smiling at all of the beaming faces in front of him. "Please follow me outside as we will be travelling by the same portkey." The professor stood outside with his students tailing behind him and walked towards an old boot.
They portkeyed to a tea service in a small restaurant in China and he gestured for his students to come with him. "Have a seat." he said. Landon sat on the floor on his knees in front of his students and began. "Today, we'll be learning about Chinese herbalists. In Herbology, we've learned about cultivating plants for many different reasons. Potions, teas, poisons...too many to name. But while I may gather a plant to be brewed for Draught of Living Death, a Chinese Herbalist would be gathering herbs to use for medicinal purposes alone."
A waitress brought them a tea service and sat it on the table they were gathered around. Landon nodded at the waitress, thanking him and the waitress left, bowing to the professor. Landon then poured tea into their cups and held his up with both hands. He bowed his head to them, and drank silently. They did the same. "This is Gui Pi Wan. It helps relieve stress and return your bodies functions to normal." He felt his stress slowly relieve itself. Landon smiled, "Notice how your mind is clearer and focused. Your body should be less tense."
After a satisfying stay at the Chinese restaurant, they were soon back to their classroom. Landon sat down at his desk. "I hope you enjoyed yourself. On the way out, in the basket, is portions of Gui Pi Wan tea in a small gift bag. You may leave."
