4th years : Lesson 2 [Bubotubers]

[Timothy Linn]

The day has only just begun for Timothy as he enters the Greenhouse that early Monday morning. Rearranging his schedule to fit in the time he was away due to the flu, he was very healthy and less sniffly than a week ago. The room hadn't collected much dust with Jodi teaching in there and luckily she has been so helpful to tend to the plants.

He approaches the board, taking out his wand, and taps on it twice for note taking today. The words of their plant, Bubotuber, appeared toward the top. With that, he takes a seat behind his desk, roster infront of him, as well as his notes for the day. Now all he needed were his fourth years to show up.

[Brie Alley]

Brie seemed to be out of it, an classes for her, were dull. She made her way out of bed, and got dressed. Herbology was waiting. She sighed, as she walked out of the common room. The hallways seemed to be packed with students, trying to get to class. But the pictures, they seemed to light a smile on her face. They were the only thing in the school, that couldn't hurt you in any way.

She didn't smile at any of the passers. Giving them attention, wasn't her thing. She would rather be in her drak, own world. But, she needed to be surrounded by friends. But since magic came first in her world, thats what was in her plans. Later on she could escape. She walked into the Greenhouse. And sat down, in the back, she was gonna avoid all contact with students.

Aaryn must go to another boring Herbology class. Fun </sarcasm>. She sighed loudly as she entered the classroom. There was only Brie in the room, who she didn't really talk to. She hardly knew the girl, they had only talked a couple times. Aaryn didn't really care much about her, so she took a seat in the middle of the room, not right next to her.

Aaryn played with her pen while she waited for class to start.

[Timothy Linn]

Well class should prove something interesting today. Even if there were three fourth years, Timothy could manage well with the lot. Especially if it meant the lesson would go by fast, even with a little hands-on experiement. "Alright class, today we'll be learning about Bubotubers. After lecture we'll have a hands-on activity once you get to know more about the plant and it's purpose. So let's begin."

Firstly, Timothy went to retrieve some bubotubers for the demonstration and laid one out for each student on their desk. "Bubotubers tend to grow in a very dry climate, often found with cacti. They resemble large, thick blag slugs, growing vertically out of the ground as you can see." He pointed to the plants on their desk. "They were thought to be of little use and because of their remote location, hardly studied until about fifty years ago."

Timothy sat at the front table, arms on his knees while looking at the three girls present. "A herbology professor from Durmstrang by the name of Dinglebink Dunesman took a sabbatical to the Sahara. He observed the bubotubers for several months, long enough to record a few cycles of oozing. This occured when the bubotuber grew large shiny swellings, which eventually burst, spraying a greasy pus like liquid onto the surrounding ground."

With the plant infront of him, Timothy pointed out the swellings on the bubotuber, hoping that the students could see it in their example plant. "Professor Dunesman determined that this was cleansing the ground of anything harmful before expelling seeds. When the next oozing came, Professor Dunesman decided to attempt to fill a vial or two with the pus for later study, but found this quite a bit more difficult then anticipated."
