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.

 

[Primrose Kaster]

Prim could hardly believe it when she heard they would be having a field trip of all things. She wasn't entirely sure why they were going to a garden in London when there were perfectly good gardens a little closer to home, but she supposed it was better than a lecture, of which she was not a fan in the slightest. She was never very good with lectures because she felt like she always lost something in the translation or something. Surely portkeying to a garden in the middle of London wasn't an easy feat, but what did she knew about portkeys. She mostly stuck to herself whilst she was there, admiring the plants and taking note of what Professor Carter was saying mostly just so she knew. She even bought a tiny flower charm from a muggle vendor as a memento. When the class ended she was quick to head back to the castle and write down what she remembered from the class.​

 

[Rose Edogawa]

Rose looked down at the pamphlet and the pouch of gallons in front of her, though she was really excited to be going on a trip to London, she wasn't sure why they were going there and not anywhere else. Still she supposed it was better than not having anywhere to go at all. It was one of those things she sometimes wondered about as she walked through the gardens. Portkey wasn't so bad these days, she'd done it numerous times before, travelling between Japan and New Zealand. She knew her dad had one on his desk keyed into their home, he didn't have a fire place or anything which was probably a good thing given she didn't think her mum would stay away.​

 

[Elijah Edogawa]

Eli was a little surprised that they were going on a field trip today, but he supposed it could have been later in the year and after all the work he'd been putting into his classes and just the amount of time he had to spend on doing his after class work as well. Of course there was a lot to come to, there was a lot he had to deal with. Still, he walked around the gardens and thought about what he wanted to do in the future, he wasn't a big fan of Herbology, but he was enjoying the class as it was and when they headed back to the class he was glad to be able to take some more notes.​
