Basic class 1

OOC: Same format as the Newt class but this will be the only one like that

Silas was the new professor at Hogwarts for Herbology. When he enterend the class he saw it clean and empty. When Silas went to his desk he laid down his stuff and wrote on the chalk board:


After Silas wrote that he put a sheet of parchment on each desk he took a few quills and ink and put them on the table by the paper. Then he took out his quill and wrote a few questions on each paper.

1. Name

2. Basic or Newt

3. what you plan to learn from this class

4. How many times have you taken Herbology

As this was an introduction he waved his wand and a wand rack appeared out of the closet in the back he sat it by the door.

What. The. Hell?

Where was her old teacher? The funny one? Ethel liked her old teacher and in about five seconds flat, she decided that she really didn't like this one. He was already telling them to put their wands somewhere else. Um, NO. Ethel had only just found her wand (some third year boys had hidden it right up the top of Gryffindor tower, long story); she was not going to relinquish it that easily.

Instead, she just plopped herself down in a seat and waited for this dumb new professor to begin with the talking.

Aurora couldnt believe it. A few months in school and a new teacher in herbology. She hadnt brought her wand that day and she was glad she didnt because when she went inside she saw there was a place to put a wand. This professor looked.. strange in her mind. But not the matter set her books down and then went up to the professor. "Hello professor." She said. She then went back to where she came from and with the hand that wasnt broken she looked through her things looking for her old nitebook. When she could find it she just sat down and did nothing.

Xemnas walked in the room.He had noticed the room was full of plants,trees,and life."Hmm this must be herbology"He thought.He was very happy because this was the first class and was their to witness it,he had looked at the chalkboard and followed the directions.He looked for his name and after probably 30 seconds he found it.He had noticed his friend Aurora was at the class so he decided to sit in a seat next to her.Xemnas than raised his hand and asked him a question "professor should I get started on the assignment or wait for more students to arrive ?".

Luna had only learned of the change of teachers, but had not known who was the teacher. She wouldn't know until she entered the greenhouse, which was not all that unusual. What was unusual was her reaction to the teacher; instead of a somber look that she gave each teacher, she gave him a smile. Herbology would be very different for her, and for the better. She knew the teacher well enough, and was his daughter, too. The resemblance wasn't much, but she did have his eyes. Well, the shape, and the color of one of them. Once she put her wand up at the front sat down for the lesson, she wrote on the slip of paper.

Name: Luna-Lorrie Hastenfield
Basic or NEWT: Basic
What do you expect to learn?: I expect to learn about magical plants and wonderful things to do with said plants.
How many times have you taken Herbology?: I'm only in first year, this would be my second class if I count the one with Mr. Dent.

She put the parchment at the corner of her desk and awaited others to finish. That was when she'd pass hers in.

Damnit. Cassiopeia wasn't stupid. She took note of the name written on the board and matched it right up with Luna's. There would be no baiting the Hufflepuff this lesson, and probably no allusions to her furry friends, either.

The little Slytherin had learnt a thing or two in her brief time at Hogwarts. She decided to take a different tack with this teacher. So far as he was concerned Cassie would be a model student, starting with dropping her wand into that stupid holster on her desk.

Then she diligently filled in the dinky little form he'd provided.

1. Name Cassiopeia Germaine Crius

2. Basic or Newt BASIC

3. what you plan to learn from this class I plan to learn about how plants and bits of plants can help do magic and be useful in potions.

4. How many times have you taken Herbology I had one lesson before this one. I'm only a first year.

After a while of sitting there, aurora saw some come in and fill out a paper. Why hadnt she filled out the paper? Well it wasnt like anyone told them to all she was told to do was nothing and she never looked at boards. So Aurora stood up carefully and went to grab a paper. Then she went back to where she was sitting, sat down, pulled out a quill and her ink and began writing on the piece of parchment

1. Name: Aurora Nye

2. Basic or Newt: Basic

3. what you plan to learn from this class: Whatever i can about magical plants.

4. How many times have you taken Herbology: I took it all last year. This is my second year.

Xemnas had noticed that 3 other students were writing what the proffesor asked already.So he figured it was his turn as well.

Name: Xemnas Charcovix

Basic or newt: Basic

what do you plan to learn from this class: learn more about these magical creatures,understand them,and use the knowledge to benefit my future.

How many times have you taken herbolgy: this is my first time ever

he looked at the students around the room.He had noticed there was a durmstrang in the class,he looked at him with a mean look since he didn't like most kids from durmstrang.He hated durmstrang students almost more than he hated slytherin students.He knew that the student wouldn't care so he just ignored him as well.He then noticed there was a slytherin girl among the class,but he doesn't take every slytherin member to be bad.

Silas noticed a couple of students came in and started working and got on task. When he noticed that he said "Either turn it in now when your done when I collect it or you can do it as homework" After he had said that he walked around the class and noticed everybody that had begun working. When he noticed the houses that began to work he decided to give them a cheap reward. "10 points to gryiffindor for doing the paper when they arrived and noticeing the board, Also 5 points to hufflepuff and slythrien for doing the same" Silas had awarded them smally because he wanted to give out a least five points a class.

"So this is a basic Herbology course you will learn many things I whould like you to know that I wanted you to put the wands in the holder because I wanted you to to avoid cheating, I dont know how but somebody always does it" Silas had told them in a loud voice so everyone could hear him. "Im sure you are wondering about your old professors they uh I dont know what happened to them" Silas had told them because a few students had givin suprise remarks as why he was here.

It had happened too many times before; too often were the professors within Hogwarts moved about, switching positions… professions… classes. Eventually, Nerissa had stopped trying to remember the names of the week’s newest professor, and had come to accept the fact that Herbology professors would never be committed enough to stay put for any longer than a class or two. So it came as no surprise when Nerissa’s eyes met with a pair she found to be unfamiliar; a pair of eyes belonging to her professor, apparently, for he stood at the farther end of the greenhouse, which was a side of the glass house that had been claimed by the professors towards the very beginning of time. “Most of the students in this class have grown quite used to the unexplained switching of professors, sir. Good afternoon, I do hope you’ve had a pleasant day up until now,” Nerissa spoke, her airy voice being carried by her breath, continuing throughout the ‘classroom’ as if it were a soap bubble drifting about the chilled afternoon air.

She drew in the scent of the moist air within the greenhouse, allowing the smell to linger within her nostrils and the taste of the soil that had become a permanent part of the greenhouse, to sit upon her tongue. It was something that Nerissa had grown quite fond of; the smell of the dirt that filled the flower pots on the far side of the room, along with the look of the dirtied glass walls that held the greenhouse together. It was a very pleasant, calming combination, despite the aching that Nerissa could feel within her skull, causing her eyes to drag over the words written upon the chalkboard on the far side of the classroom much slower than usual. She had paid no attention to the name written in chalk, assuming that the teacher would last no longer than the others, and continued onward to read the last of her instructions. “Paperwork. Well, you may not be the first to teach this class, but you certainly are the first to ask for introductions from us all…” Nerissa stated with a simple shrug of her shoulders which indicated that she was in no way attempting to insult the professor before her.

With a few halfhearted steps, Nerissa made her way across the room in order to collect the questionnaire which she had been instructed to complete, and to drop her wand off at the front of the greenhouse. For a brief moment as Nerissa released the slender piece of wood from her grip, she swore she felt as if it would never be returned to her. She knew that this was not the case, but her paranoia had taken advantage of her for a single moment. She had managed to catch it in the act, however, and to prevent herself from acting in any unusual way; this was not the first time that Nerissa had felt suspicion towards the requests of a teacher, and those events had not gone over as smoothly. “There you are,” she muttered before turning quite reluctantly away from the professor’s growing collection of wands.

Now, she thought, making a beeline towards the nearest desk, I wonder if he shall continue in his attempts to differentiate himself from the previous professors and teach me something about Herbology that I haven’t already learned on my own. Nerissa slide sideways, dropping upon her chair with her knees hidden beneath the table of the desk she had claimed as her own. She would answer to the form later; she had, after all, been given such an option.
