Professor Black took a few deep breaths as the class filed into the greenhouse. The room was full of chatter as they waited for her to start the class. "Hello students, and welcome to your first Herbology Lesson." Professor Anastasia grabbed a clay pot with a small flower in it, and stepped up to the front table. "Today we will be talking about Wolfsbane. Another name for this flower is Aconitum napellus. Can anyone tell me what wolfsbane is commonly used for?" Professor looked around the room waiting for a student to answer.

Artemis's arm shot up in the air. She knew this like the back of her hand. It was such an easy question.... She waited patiently to be called on.

James who sat behind Artemis smiled and raised his hand to. For this was a very easy question for someone who has three older sisters who won't shut up about how awesome herbology is.

As Professor looked around the room she saw that a student from Hufflepuff put her hand up first. "Yes Miss Zeal, could you please answer this question."

Professor Black grinned "That is correct 5 points for hufflepuff." " Well Done Miss Zeal." "Now on with the lesson. This plant has been around for centuries and gets it common name from the reputation as a guard against werewolves." "Can anyone tell me if they know if this plant is poisonous?" "Tell me why you think so or not."

Artemis placed her hands on her lap, waiting for someone else to answer a question. It's only fair, she thought.

After looking around for a few moments and noticing that no one has raised there hand Professor Black said" Well perhaps i will pick someone to answer this, Mr Wayland would you like to give it a go?"

James put his hand down and said "Wolfsbane is poisonous. I know this because three of my sisters love herbology and mention it whenever we get into a conversation about werewolves and potions."

"That is correct, Mr Wayland 5 points for Gryffindor." Professor Smiled and said, " The thing that some people dont know is that wolfsbane looks like an average flower. In this pot in front of me is one." She glanced at the students and when they adverted their eyes to the pot she spoke more about it." As you can see, it has a deep blue tint to it. It has an appearance of an every day flower." However every part of this plant is highly toxic."

Just then the bell rang. "Well Class I am afraid that is all for today.I know this lesson was a bit boring but have no fear our next lesson will be more fun.No homework for this time.Enjoy your next class." Professor watched all the students talking loudly as they stepped out of the greenhouse. She smiled to them all and waived.

Circe was suprised how short the lesson was. She only got down a few notes. She knew she had a lot to learn since she had no idea how to answer any of the questions. Circe sighed and picked up her stuff quickly. She hurried to her next class.
