It was her first official day back to work after the breakup, and Andi was a nervous wreck. She was even more nervous than she had been on her first day, when she'd had to teach a full class of all the grades at once. Now it would be a smaller class, of mostly older students, but they were all more likely to have read the article about her, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy about how they might think of her. She hoped they all had the manners to not bring up the article and to allow her to focus on the lesson. It was the only way she was going to get through it.
After checking that the room was in order, Andi sat down at her desk and tried to relax. She just hoped Rabastan wouldn't decide to show up for another visit...

Books in hand, Evelyn entered the greenhouse. She was early but had nothing to do prior to this class and she didn't want to get caught up doing something else. She didn't mind being the first to arrive, at least not to this class. Upon glancing around the room she wondered if Rabastan would be sitting in on this lesson as well, but then reminded herself what had happened the last time he was there, distracting her, and she hoped he wouldn't show. She greeted the professor to get mind off Rabastan. "Good morning Professor Black. Are you feeling better? I had heard you were ill." That was a lie but she thought it might be easier for her to come back if she didn't have to think about Rita Skeeter's article and the events it described.

Andi looked up at the petite redhead and smiled sadly. "Hi, Evelyn," she said. "Yes, thank you... I'm feeling a little better." She was grateful to the girl for not mentioning the article and passing off her absence as an illness. In a way, it was true. She had been ill, in a manner of speaking. But she wasn't really feeling any better. She was just hiding it better.

Hallie hurried out to Herbology class. She was back to her usual, off-balance self, so she tripped three times on the way there. The third time, she skidded in a patch of mud she hadn't seen and ended up with mud streaked all along one side of her. Luckily, when she got to class, only the professor and Evelyn were present, so she was able to discreetly use a cleaning spell to clean up the mud before anyone else got there.
When she was done, she moved to her seat and nodded at Professor Black. "Good morning, Professor. Hi, Evelyn," she added to the redhaired girl.

Lance dragged his brother Josh with him to class and met up with Guenivere along the way. As they walked across the lawn he leaned over and gave Viv a kiss ont he top of her head, holding her to his side as they walked. Josh didn't seem to mind walking a little ahead of them though and he wasn't about to complain.
As they walked into the greenhouse he lead Guenivere over to sit in a chair between himself and where Josh had picked to sit. Lance looked a bit surprised to see the professor back though and was glad she seemed to be looking better. He liked her more than McGonagall any day.

Genevieve was glad Lance had showed up at just the right time. She had been walking and became fascinated with the cloud formations above her and forgot all about walking to Herbology class. So when Lance came up to her and put his arm around her to lead her to class, she was relieved. "Welcome back, Professor!" she said cheerfully, noticing that Professor Black had returned. She had read the horrible story in the Daily Prophet, though it had taken her a little while to finish, with all the distractions. So she was glad to see that the Professor was doing better now. She couldn't imagine how she'd feel if Lance ever did anything like that to her. But of course, Lance was perfect and would never do anything like that.
Taking her seat next to Lance, she smiled at him. "I can't wait for the dance," she said. "I bet you look really handsome in dress robes."

"And I'm sure you'll be the most beautiful girl there, Viv. I wont' be able to take my eyes off you, I'm sure." He smiled at his girl, yes his girl he thought proudly, and imagined how breathtaking she'd look all dressed up and fancy, dancing in his arms. He'd been happy she'd agreed to go to the dance with him and ever since then, they'd seem much closer and had even found himself kissing her temple and head more often and giving her hugs more too. He was feeling very happy and lucky about that too.

Josh shook his head playfully as Genevieve joined them on their way to the greenhouses. Lance was on her like a leech in a way, but then again Josh couldn't really say much on that subject, because he was the same way with Eve. They just seemed to come together, like magnets. He decided to give Lance time to drool over Genevieve while he walked ahead.
He smiled as he entered the greenhouse. "Hello Professor," he said brightly and took a seat while Lance and Genevieve followed him. "You still can't keep your eyes off of her now," Josh said with a grin. "Plus, sometimes I think you need a bucket when you see her, oh and speaking of that, Lance you might want to wipe your chin, I think your drooling a little."

Gilderoy was in a good mood, as always, as he headed to Herbology class. The sun was out, and that always put him in a good mood. The sunlight always picked up the highlights in his hair, making it even more shiny than usual. It was almost enough to compete with his glorious smile.
"Hello, fellow Hufflepuffs!" he greeted Josh, Lance, and Genevieve as he sat down. "And good morning, Professor Black!" He glanced at the Professor, thinking that she needed to smile a bit more. Everyone looked better when they smiled.

Rafe had yet to attend a single Herbology class, but he already hated this class. It was the only class on his schedule that Samantha wasn't in, and although he had tried to arrange his schedule in order to be in all of her classes, somehow he had failed on this one. So he was stuck going to this class instead of watching Samantha. He considered cutting, but he certainly didn't want to be thrown out of school again, so he reluctantly headed out to Herbology, all the while, thinking about Sam and what she was doing. It was a lucky thing he'd enchanted that mirror of hers... now he could watch her even while stuck in this class.
He sat down in the back, not acknowleging any of the other students or the professor.

(Dude. Creepy.)
Rabastan knew he'd have to go to class again when he heard she was back. He could lay on the pity, if she wa receptive to it, and promise her that he would be there for her... all the usual bull crap.
He came into class, hanging by the door for a minute, trying to catch her eyes and see what kind of a mood she was in before he proceeded.

Andi was marking off students' names as they entered the greenhouse, and had spotted a boy she didn't recognize from her previous class. She was about to go up to the boy and find out his name when she noticed Rabastan standing in the doorway. Her eyes locked with his for a moment, but her expression remained neutral. The only thing she felt on seeing him was a sad reminder of what had happened after her last class. And she was in no mood to be reminded of that. What did he want, anyway?

Alyx hadn't been watching where she was going at first so she accidentally bumped into Rabastan from behind, she doubted that happened often. That whenever someone "bumped" into him, they had meant to do it. She however shook off the jolt and apologized to him before going around him and finding a seat, why was he standing in the doorway anyway?

Was she trying to be hard to read? He thought maybe she was, but then he thought that perhaps she was angry.
But what had he done?
The bump from behind propelled him into the greenhouse, and he sat in the front row, pretty close to her. "Hi, Andi. How are you?" he asked quietly and gently.

Eve came to class a little sluggishly this time she was tired and hadn't had a lot of sleep the night before, so much for her happy countenance she looked like she was about to keel over and there were bags under her eyes.
She hadn't slept at all last night or the night before that, she hadn't slept with Josh and that was the problem, her nightmares had quickly gotten to her then and she was draining herself but she really didn't know how to deal with her new found feelings, and she had realized that she did have feelings, real honest to good feelings about him, she loved him...and how did she deal with that?

Genevieve glanced up and saw Eve approaching. The girl looked out of sorts, and immediately Genevieve felt bad about not telling the boys that they should wait for Eve. She waved over at her, smiling brightly. "Eve! Over here! We've been wondering where you were." As she did, she paused to squeeze Lance's hand.

Andi sighed softly as Rabastan entered the room and sat down in the front row. She really didn't know what his angle was, but she was getting a little annoyed. She didn't have the strength to deal with him right now.
"I'm holding myself together," she answered in a low voice. "But just barely." She didn't feel the need to elaborate, and was at a loss to understand exactly why he even cared.

Rabastan mistook this as a good sign. "That was very... honest," he replied, thinking that if she was being honest with him, it was a good sign.
"I'm glad you're back," he added. He did not go so far as to say he missed her, because he didn't think she'd buy that, but he was being honest when he said he was glad she was back.

She glanced up when Viv called her, there were purple marks under her eyes and she looked almost as if she were sick. Her eyes traveled from Viv to Lance to Josh and then to the ground as she made a feeble shuffle over to her friends and finally slumped into a seat.

Genevieve took one look at Eve and frowned slightly. Her friend did not look well, and it worried her. She usually thought Eve was very pretty, even though she knew Eve didn't think so herself. But today, she looked terribly pale and her eyes seemed sunken into her head. "Oh, Eve! Are you OK? You're not ill, are you?"
