"Congratulations, young man, you've disrupted my class to show off to your peers" The professor had stormed up to the front of the room when the boy had escaped his grip. The professor was quite enraged that a student had decided to make such a pointless show. Not only was it pointless, but he didn't even bother introducing himself. "This little stunt has landed you on thin ice. Another slip up and I'll have you feeding the Tasmanian Tangler in detention." The professors angry demeanor turned into one that expressed the utter joy he would receive watching the boy struggle with a slight smirk crossing the instructors lips. "Believe me, your little trick wouldn't help you up against a weed that enjoys planting seeds in the bellies of it's victims." He let his eyes wander over to a slowly moving tangle of vines near the side of the green house.
His eyes caught onto the arrogant boy's and the Frenchman then turned away from the students and picked up a piece of chalk. Elegantly moving the chalk across the top-right corner of the board he spelled out "Leseur Follet". With an absolutely charming smile the man turned around. "If you don't know me, my name is Leseur Follet. You will address me as Professor Follet or Professor. If any more of you get the grand idea to morph into a zebra and gallop yourselves in here it's detention." His eyes passed over to the obnoxious Slytherin and then scanned the rest. The professor's face grew very serious and his voice turned grave. "I must emphasize one very important rule in here. If you didn't already know, you are forbidden from using magic in any form within this green house. The consequences will be dire for anyone who does not follow this rule."
The professors grin returned and he dropped the chalk on his desk and leaned against it all the while crossing his arms. "Now, can anyone tell me what they think herbology means, what it's different uses are, and how do you think it can help you become a better wizard?"

The fox boy held back the urge to sigh loudly. He hadn't expected his transformation to cause such an uproar. It took everything in the snake's power not to snap back. Of course having seeds in his stomach wasn't a very fun thought and served as a fairly decent incentive to behave in class.
In attempt to get in the Professor's good graces, Ryo decided to be the first to give what he hoped would be an intelligent answer.
"Herbology is the study of auto-trophic organisms more commonly referred to as plants. Not entirely unlike the muggle science of biology. More to the point, I suspect that this class is more designed around identification and care for plants and herbs." The boy took a small breath before continuing, "Herbs and plants are useful for curing disease and some are even eatable."
Ryo hoped his answer would diffuse a bit of Leseur's anger. The last thing he needed was a trip to the hospital wing.

Lorraine blinked slowly as the doggie magically turned into a person. A person with pointy chihuahua ears, no less! Pointy chihuahua ears were her favorite kind! But what was more surprising was his big, bushy tail--the tail of a border collie! How exciting! People magically changing from animals to people was exciting enough, but people who had different kinds of doggy ears? That never happened!
"Hey, hey, Mr. Rhipicephalus sanguineus," Lorraine prattled blithely, his intended rudeness sweeping easily over her head, "are those real?" The Hufflepuff began to shuffle towards the potentially-creeper-anorak-boy (boy, wouldn't her mama be surprised at all the interesting people at her school?), but lost her footing on a rogue leaf of lettuce. She frowned, distracted. Weren't Mr. Goat Turnip and Mr. Rhipicephalus sanguineus going to eat? Maybe they weren't hungry after all? And how strange, for some reason Mr. Chihuahua Collie thought eggs were a normal rabbit's diet--sure, she could see the carrots and lettuce, and maybe even the weirdly spiky pseudopineapple plant she had recently...procured...from a nearby pot, but eggs? Hardboiled chicken eggs? She'd have to set that straight with Mr. Chihuahua Collie Rhipicephalus sanguineus when they got together to read about all those flowers and stuff he liked to eat. Bunnies were strictly herbivores, after all, and it would be good for her new friend to know if he ever decided to start raising rabbits! Bunnies were really cute, after all. Lorraine liked them.
As Mr. Goat Turnip had decided to start talking, though, she drowsily lost her wandering train of thought, focusing her limited attention on what Mr. Goat Turnip was saying.
My, he was on of the Mr. Professors at this school? He wasn't at all a creeperstalkerpoorstupidstudent? "Hi Mr. Professor Goat Turnip," Lorraine cheered unhurriedly. Or maybe he was, and he was just making up a story! Oh my! Then he would still possibly be a creeperstalkerpoorstupidstudent! She blinked bewilderedly at her realization, but decided it would be probably be okay to be with the Mr. Professor (supposedly) Goat Turnip in the glass house for the time being, especially with the Mr. Chihuahua Collie there (though she wasn't sure how helpful he would be if anything drastic should happen; chihuahuas were all bark and no bite, after all), but she would be sure to mention him to mama in a letter when class was over.
"If any more of you get the grand idea to morph into a zebra and gallop yourselves in here it's detention." Zebras? She liked zebras! If she were talented enough to turn into a zebra, she would turn into one everyday! And gallop to her classes! Though since the Mr. Professor Possible said he would be giving out detentions, maybe she could just not gallop to his class. "But is walking okay?" she asked affably, belatedly raising a pale, skinny arm in question.
If you didn't already know, you are forbidden from using magic in any form within this green house."
How disappointing, they weren't allowed to use magic in here? So Lorraine couldn't share with everyone her newly mastered (in her mind) spells of how to combine stuff and turn stuff back to normal and all those other things Gecko Gwynie had been teaching her? But she wanted everyone to know that she could do magic, that she could really do magic! She'd finally learned more than one spell at a time, she might actually be able to graduate to being a second year this time!
"Now, can anyone tell me what they think herbology means, what it's different uses are, and how do you think it can help you become a better wizard?"
". . . Oh, oh," Lorraine articulated delightedly in a startling soporific voice, wavering a strangely noodle-like arm at the Mr. Possible Professor the second time that day. "Herbology has to do with learning about plants and stuff, right? And if you know about plants and stuff, that'll help you with knowing if rabbits eat pineapple-looking plants growing out of pots! And the more you know, the better wizard you are!" The Hufflepuff nodded dazedly, a distinctly beatific smile spreading contently across her face. Maybe their first unit would be on rabbit diets? How exciting, she'd always wanted a rabbit! Maybe her mama would let her have one if she asked for one as a pet; she'd been feeling a little lonely at school without her dear ant farm she'd had to leave at home.
Chika was dazed by what was going on. She couldn't believe all of this. Oh well, it's not like she had never dealt with any weird or anything like that. She flopped in a seat she supposed the lecture would be starting soon. She hoped the professor would get here soon.
The the other Hufflepuff spoke up. This puff's given names were weird, Mr. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, what in the world. Chika just shrugged it off tell the girl asked if Ryo's ear were real. Chika was surprised by that. Wow and she thought she was weird.
The other girl now slipped on a piece of lettuce. Was she ok? Chika hoped so. The other man spoke up and said he was the professor. Well at least she now knew who the professor was. The other girl came up with another strange name. Mr. Professor Goat Turnip, what the. Chika couldn't bare it for much longer. This was getting too funny.
"If any more of you get the grand idea to morph into a zebra and gallop yourselves in here it's detention."
Zebra? wait what? Was this class possibly insane. Then again insane is always fun. The odd girl then asked if walking in was ok? Chika burst into laughter. "omoshiroi, Sugoku omoshiroi." Chika couldn't help the Japanese when it came out.
When she calmed down. she decide to answerer the professor's question. " Herbology is the study of plants and care for them. plants can be used for medicine, potions and food. it can help you become a better wizard by if you know what plants do what you can make better potions with them.
