5th years : Lesson 2 [Lobbianus]

[Timothy Linn]

Timothy reentered the greenhouse after having nice peaceful breakfast to himself this morning. He didn't have to arrive so early since he rescheduled the fourth years to another day because of their first lesson with dragon dung. However, he did arrive earlier to set up for his fifth years lesson today. Taking a piece of chalk, he wrote on the board, Lobbianus, and dusted his hands of the chalk dust.

He then went to the back of the greenhouse to retrieve the plant and returned to the front and set it up on the front table. Then taking a seat at his desk, he waited for his fifth years to arrive.

[[OOC: This class was suppose to start on Friday. So ya'll have to think of it as Friday for this lesson.]]

[ericm]

Here it is mid Friday morning and Eric has to run across the grounds of the school to get to class. Eric could not believe he was late he had mised the first Herbology class he did not need to miss anymore.

Eric finally made it to the green house and walked in. He took a seat near the back and took his book, quill, and parchment out. Eric looked toward the front of class and nodded a hello to the professor. Eric looked at the plant and the board to see if there was any notes so far nope. So he just wrote what was on the board on his parchment and waited for class to start.

[briony]

Glancing at her watch, yes she finally found it, Briony found that she still had plenty of time to get to Herbology. She had slept in a bit late this morning and was glad to see that she hadn't over done it. Biting back a yawn that came to her lips, Briony shivered just a bit in the cool morning air. She still hadn't gotten her jacket from Eric's dad's house.

Sighing a bit, she entered the greenhouse and glanced around. Second one there wasn't bad. When she realized who the other person was, her spirts lifted. Giving Professor Linn a look as she walked over to Eric, she smiled. "Good morning, Professor." The Hufflepuff then turned the smile to Eric as she took a seat beside him. "Hey Eric."

[Kali Rune]

Wow. The Slytheirn couldn't think that today is a Friday. Sure, to her it only felt like a Thursday and all but what difference does what day it is makes? Nothing really. You go to classes, you go to bed, so whatever things you needed to do whether to write or something. It's always the same.

The Slytherin girl sat down at the back and set her things aside, besides her quill and parchment, She had decided that if there was nothing she could do in the beginning of class, then she would just draw something. And so, she did that.

Violet walked inside the Greenhouse ready for what they would be doing for Herbology. Violet didn't see any notes yet on what exactly they would be talking about but she knew that she just have to wait for it.

The classroom is still empty and Violet looked around the classroom before heading to the only person she knew in the classroom; Kali Rune. "Hey" Violet said to her.

[Elesy Miranda Longhorn *Rp?*]

Elesy sighed, another day, another class to attend. Elesy was quite sleepy though, and, so, her being sleepy would mean, her, not being very cheerful, but, people could live with it. Elesy walked outside to the Greenhouse, and, she entered very quickly, and, took a quick seat in the back, for once. Elesy sighed to herself, as she got her notepads, out, and, her quill, and, a few other things. Elesy looked around for a moment, and, growled to herself, about, having to be here, right now. Elesy sighed one last time, before, looking around, and, getting her eyes to stay open. Elesy looked around with her dark blue orbs scanning the area, and, then she rolled her eyes slightly.

Elesy then payed attention, when she noticed two of her friends. "Hey, Kali. Hey, Violet." Elesy said, as her eyes shifted to Kali, then they shifted back to the parchment that lay infront of her. Elesy was pleased to see that at least, there were two people she knew. Elesy gave a faint smile, then, it turned into a frown, at the fact of her not sleeping, but, she ingored that, and, then looked over at the entrance, with a sigh, Elesy looked back at her desk.[/font]

[Timothy Linn]

Well it was enough to start the lesson with as only five students showed up for class today. Watching as each took their seat in tables, he looked over the plant and toward their faces. "Good morning everyone. Five points to you all for showing up. Thank you. As you can see by the plant we've got up front and listed on the board, we'll be learning about Lobbianus."

"The lobbianus plant, often called 'the lipstick plant' by muggle botanists, is due to the fact that the blood-red flowers unfurl from a tubular stem in a reminiscent fashion. It has for centuries served as a staple ingredient in beauty potions," he nods his head whilst looking at the girls in class. "The lobbianus' signature bloom is surrounded by a dense, waxy collection of leaves that have no inherent magical value."

[[OOC: This is what the plant looks like.]]

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Ugh what was this? National Lizzy Late To Every Class Day? Sighing she rushed into class and took a seat hoping she hadn't missed to much. Looking up she saw that Professor Linn was talking about the plant they were learning about today.

[Timothy Linn]

Watching as Jade had joined the class, Timothy marked her name for lateness, but didn't feel that points should be taken away on a first offense. Continuing with his lecture, "a member of the larger genus Aescheynantus, the lobbianus plant thrives in mild to moderate climates, blooming only for a brief peirod in late spring. The shredded lobbianus petals, when applied to a beauty potion, may be only utilized by the truly hideous."

Quite the harshful outcome for those who needed the plant more than anything. Timothy hoped that he didn't meant that all hideous beings are really... ugly. "Their use in a potion brewed by anyone of minimal good looks will infact create the reverse effect, rendering the drinker malformed." Either way, someone will deserve the look they receive.

"Anyway, the lobbianus plant, once common throughout Europe and North America, has recently become extinct in certain regions due to the development of dragon colonies. The malodorous properties of dragon dung causes the lobbianus bloom to recoil in their tubes indefinitely and renders the plant useless," he finally says, while sitting back to his desk. "Anyway, that's all lecture I have for you today. You're all dismissed."
