Herbology Class 2-B (years 5-7)

[Evelyn Turner]

She had hurt his feelings with her lack of response. She quickly corrected this. "I think it's rather a good sign," she murmured just loud enough for him to hear. She did want to go with him to the Yule Ball, but was shocked that he would want to go with her. She still couldn't get over the fact that he seemed to fancy her.

[Rabastan Lestrange]

He raised an eyebrow at her, but was silent for a moment, keeping his own thoughts to himself.

"A good sign?" He repeated. "So that's a yes, then?" He asked, but the question was slow like he wasn't 100% syure what she meant.

[Evelyn Turner]

She nodded wordlessly in response to his question. How could he think she would say anything other than yes? She was going to attend the ball on the arm of Rabastan Lestrange! She was going to spend an entire night with him and dance and laugh and maybe kiss him. How was she supposed to focus on class now? She couldn't be expected to take in anything that Professor Black tried to teach her.

[Rabastan Lestrange]

Rabastan smiled like he was relieved, though inwardly he had known she wouldn't say no. He had considered taking Lyra, but she seemed offstandish since the bow out with Rystain, and he had a feeling Drake was going to ask her.

"Great," he said. "I promise you that you'll have a wonderful time."

[Kassia Burke]

Kassia was a little late for class which didn't happen often but she had gotten caught up on a letter she was writing and sending to her uncle Derek whom she still kept in touch with even though he traveled every which way. She sent letters to all of her Uncles that traveled unsure why she did it aside from the fact that they always wrote back with great stories about the things they had done and experienced which was always fun to read.

"Sorry Andi..." she said a bit apologetically when she came in the doors. They were cousins of a distant sort but cousins all the same and come family reunions she saw Andi often enough to be on a first name basis, it'dve been weird to call her Professor Black, but keeping to the social outline she said her cousin's name quietly so there was no disrespect to be considered by other students.

[Evelyn Turner]

"I don't doubt that." Her cheeks were still flushed but just as the last time they had talked, she was beginning to feel more comfortable around him and her red cheeks were clearly a few shades paler than earlier. She hoped by the time the dance came around that they would be only a slight pink color, if not their natural peach.

[Rabastan Lestrange]

"You shouldn't doubt it," Rabastan said, smiling as he rested his chin in his hand. "Would I lie to you?"

Now that was a line many girls had heard, and for some reason, they all thought that no, he'd be amazingly truthful and honest with them. Then again, Rabastan never did lie. He stretched the truth, on occasion, but he never lied.

[Andromeda Tonks]

Andi watched silently as the room filled up. She could see Rabastan talking to Evelyn, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. It didn't look like he was flirting with her, but she could see the girl's red face even from here.

Finally she decided that it was time for class to begin. She wandered over to the door and found a number of children approaching. Quickly, she ushered them all into the room and shut the door, then moved back to the front of the room.

"Good afternoon, class," she greeted them. "Please take out the reports you wrote in your last class and pass them forward."

[Kassia Burke]

Kassia sighed and shuffled through her bag to get her report before she even sat down, taking it neatly out she found a seat at random and passed her work up to the front while watching her cousin carefully. She was proud of her for being able to stand up tall after what that boy did. And that boy...pfft...it was a miracle the little grub was still alive that the Blacks hadn't reigned down on him in a flash of fury...Kassia was quite sure there would be a number of willing volunteers in her family to kill him.

[Evelyn Turner]

Evelyn smiled again but before she could respond Professor Black had started class. She was almost angry at the professor for interrupting her conversation, but of course she really couldn't be. She gave another smile to Rabastan and then turned to pull her paper from her bag. She passed hers up to the student in front of her.

[Alenna Gavin]

Alenna had been sitting quietly, doing some studying and had gone unnoticed, which was unusual for Alenna. Usually, she was very talkative and and usually chatted with her fellow classmates prior to class. But today she needed to catch up on her reading. When Professor Black told them to pass up their papers, she turned and took Evelyn's from behind her, smiling at the red head before turning back toward the front and adding her own paper to the pile being passed up.

"Here you go," she said to the student in front of her.

[Ruecain White]

Ruecain twiddle his fingers he looked outside to see a nice sunny day. He wonder if he had put on enough deodorant this morning. He would have rather been outside playing his harmonica than messing with man eating plants. Sadly he is spending his time with plants. On the good side though it was very interesting. Ruecain realized that his hair tie was loose. So he undid his hair and fixed it again.

When he heard the teacher saying to pass up their paper, he pulled out his and passed it to the ravenclaw girl in front of him. " Excuse me but could you pass my paper up?" Ruecain asked politely holding his papers up to her.
