Landon was very excited to be teaching his new batch of third years after a fun year last year looking after the Mandrakes. It was definitely a challenge for some of them, but they had done it, and Landon couldn't be more proud of them for learning a new skill. The man confidently stood at the front of the Herbology greenhouse with a smile on his face, hoping that they would enjoy their lessons this semester.
Once all of the students had entered the classroom and taken a seat, Landon began to speak to the class. "Good afternoon class and welcome to your third year of Herbology!" Landon exclaimed, smiling at his students. “For those of you who don’t know me, I'm Professor Carter and I will be your permanent professor until the end of your fourth year. Today's lesson is going to be rather informative and I deeply apologise for how boring it's going to be. Lucky for you, next lesson will be much better. But for now please sit as I give you a lecture." Landon watched as a couple of the third years moaned and turned around to tap his wand on the chalkboard behind him which began to write dot points about different countries and famous herbologists.
"Please copy down each of the dot points. They will all be useful for the exam at the end of the year and I've simplified them for you all." Landon paused and smiled at his class, preparing himself for what he was going to say next. "The main leading country in Herbology is China. Herbalism dates back to the Mesopotamia but China still uses herbal medicine till this day. There are also some countries that practice Herbalism but their muggle government doesn't really approve of the idea. Africa, the Americas, India and Indonesia are among other leading countries that still practice Herbalism. Though, in today's era, muggle Universities, and not just Wizarding schools, offer a course in Herbalism." Herbology linking to the muggle world was always what made the young man happy. He was always interested in the links between the muggle world and the wizarding world and was glad to teach his students what he knew.
When the lesson ended, Landon waved goodbye to his students as they packed up their belongings and exited the classroom. He wasn't too happy with how boring the lesson was for the students but he knew that if they listened to the content that they would all get good marks in the exam which was what he was hoping for. Next lesson they would be doing a lot more things which Landon was exceptionally excited for.
