Third Years, Lesson Two

Out of all of the lessons Landon was to teach, today's lesson had to be by far the best one. He was so exceptionally excited for it that he dressed in his best muggle clothes and came to class early just so he could place all of the pamphlets he had on each of the desks and make sure everything was perfect in the classroom before leaving. Travelling was always his favourite thing to do. He hoped that this excursion outside of the classroom would teach the students as much as it could. In Landon's opinion, travelling was always good to learn new things and if the children did not listen today then it would be their own fault if they happened to fail their exam.

Student after student, they all eventually came walking in which just made Landon even more excited. He hoped that they would all be on their best behaviour. "Before you ask about the paper and pouch in front, we are taking a field trip to Chelsea Physic Gardens, in the heart of London. The pamphlet explains the rich history of the expansive garden. In the pouch are twenty galleons in there. It is for the fair." Landon quickly began the lesson once everyone had finally made their way inside. "The fair will be to celebrate Winterfest which hopefully will make the trip even better! Leave your bags here and we are leaving by portkey."

Landon led the students past the gates where he had them place their hand on a boot. In moments, they were spiraling through the air and landed on a grassy hill. Landon, who landed on his feet perfectly, looked around first to see if all of his students were alright and then pointed out the lands of Chelsea Physic Gardens. "It was founded back in 1673 by apothecaries. Its vast lands and plants were used as a good tool for teaching their apprentices about their craft. Obviously it's been added onto and has changed owners throughout the centuries."

Along the sprawling gardens there were huge tents set up, filled with merchants selling their wares. Landon turned to his students and warned, "You have two hours here. I will be walking around, making sure no one is up to any trouble. Split up or pair off and go enjoy yourselves." Landon pulled out many enchanted maps for the entire class. He explained, "This is a map of the entire grounds. It has all of us on there, except me of course. You will see a dot with your name on it. In the corner is an hourglass, telling you when to be back at the portkey on the hill back to the castle." With that, Landon departed, heading about his own ways.

Assignment: RP the lesson.

 

[Apolline Fontaine]

Apolline was enjoying being back at school, she was enjoying her other electives, enjoying how much fun they appeared to be. The Gryffindor wasn’t sure what she wanted to do once she left school, but she was pretty eagerly taking the time to make sure she got the most of the classes she had. SHe would probably decide at some later point. Apolline was getting herself together for the day ahead, making sure that she had all of her books and notes and then headed to class.

Apolline walked into the herbology greenhouse and took her usual spot in the room. Her gaze moved to the professor at the front of the class as the professor then told them they’d be going on a field trip. She was pretty excited by that prospect. Apolline took the items the professor gave to them and then took the portkey when she was prompted to. The professor told them a little about the place before then letting them just get to exploring. She ventured off on her own, taking the time to look around at everything she could see and experience in the gardens. They were nice gardens really. Some of the nicest that she’d ever seen. She spent the time well, making sure to make the most of it, and then heading back to the meet up point exactly when she was supposed to.

 

[Kyousuke Kurosawa]

Kyousuke was beginning to take out his supplies when he sensed something different about Professor Carter. A different energy. Kyousuke paused, wondering what it meant. Once the lesson began he soon found out - a field trip. That was actually somewhat exciting, Kyousuke thought. He'd never left the country before and here he was, about to go somewhere completely new. He travelled with the others using the portkey and made it to London for the very first time. There was definitely somewhat different - even just the air and how the sun hung in the sky was slightly not the usual. Kyousuke went off on his own, trying to make the most out of the trip. It was actually rather refreshing to be outdoors. When the time came for everyone to return, Kyousuke made his way back to the portkey.
