She seemed to do that a lot around Lucas. The compliment made her seem amazing and perfect, but she was anything but. "It takes a lot of planning and managing time." Inside her head she squealed and her thoughts went a thousand miles a minute when he asked her to go to Hogsmeade with him. It wasn't a date, she knew that, but it would be more time alone together to talk. "I think I'll be able to fit you into my busy schedule." She said casually but with a large grin on her face.
She could show him a bunch of amazing places in Hogsmeade. She couldn't remember the exact date, but she believed that the next trip was coming up soon and she was really excited. It was possible he didn't think all those things about her and maybe he thought she was really nice and enjoyed being around her. It wasn't very likely, but if he kept talking to her nicely and going places with her he couldn't hate her, could he? What if he was going to get her hopes up then stab her in the back the way Caiden did though. Don't compare him to Caiden. He's nothing like him! She chided herself in her head. Fionna hoped that she may be able to convince Lucas that she was likeable and fun to be around.

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
"Great!" He said with a huge grin that matched hers. So she did like him, even if she didn't like him a lot. She liked him enough to spend extra time with him. And she was smiling a lot...maybe she did like him? What if they dated...bittersweet seemed like the best description. But it was sweetbitter, better than it was terrible. Amazing that he'd have her as a girlfriend, that he'd hold her hand, kiss her on the cheek, hang out with her, but be honest with her. Being honest with her would be the hardest part. She'd leave him, he knew that much. And if she didn't leave him, maybe he'd have to leave her...if he was going down, he wasn't bringing her with him. He couldn't live a normal life, and he couldn't force her into a relationship with someone like that. If she really liked him and wanted to be with him, that was another matter. But then he'd want her promise that she wouldn't let herself give up on the path she was on, because she was meant for something much greater than dating a monster.
"So what types of shops are there in Hogsmeade?" he heard himself ask, he felt so very far away, lost in his own mind. What was he thinking? He wouldn't need her to promise that, she wouldn't give it up for him anyways. He wasn't worth the effort people put into being his friend or perhaps boyfriend.

She exclaimed. He seemed really happy to be going to Hogsmeade with her. Maybe he just wanted a tour guide for the town. Of course he would always ask somebody else. He had other friends, but no, he had asked her. She smiled at the thought hoping this was something more. Was she really ready for another relationship? It was so soon. Not even a month had passed really. The breakup had happened in the last few weeks of Summer. She hadn't talked to anybody. She hadn't even told her brother, Riley, about it.
Fionna recalled everything that there was in Hogsmeade at Lucas' question and she said, "Well there is Honeyduke's which is full of sweets and candy. There is a quill shop, clothing shops, and a book store. Oh there's also Zonko's the joke shop." Those were all the shops she could recall. "And then there is Madam Puddifoot's which is a teashop, The Three Broomsticks which is a place to get food and the all famous butterbeer, Hog's Head which is a bar where some creepy people hang out, don't want to go in there." She nodded recalling the places to relax and have a drink or eat. "Then there is the Shrieking Shack which is believed to be haunted. Nobody goes near it. Only looks at it from afar." She finished believing that was everywhere except of course the station.

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
Lucas looked away when she mentioned the Shrieking Shack. That was the only place he knew of, but he'd get to see it long before she ever gave him a tour.
"Why do they say it's haunted?" He asked when she finished, looking back at her. She now had his full attention, he wanted to know and was even a bit curious. He'd heard about it, but what if it really was haunted? He didn't want to spend over 24 hours in a place with ghosts and spirits. He doubted the Headmistress would really actually send him there if it was haunted, she assured him he'd be safe and she'd bring him food during the day monday, but since his transformation was the second the full moon appeared, it would look odd and be difficult to have him dragged out in the middle of a class. She'd even told him that it had been used for the transformation of another werewolf who was at the school previously, explained everything. Still...he was a bit nervous. He wanted to know all about the place, what if little kids were daring and decided to go check it out monday night? He didn't want to become the very thing that had done this to him.

When she remembered she said, "Well the villagers use to hear noises and banging coming from the shack and they believed that spirits were upset and causing the ruckus. Of course, there is no proof, but nobody dares go near the place. There have been times since where noises are heard from within the shack though not very often." Fionna would never enter the shrieking shack. Some students use to creep closer but then get chickened out barely inside the fence. Nobody ever got closer than that.

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
"Ohh." Lucas said, unable to keep the little bit of relief off his face. He supposed that was the other werewolf and stuff, he knew 1st hand how painful it was to transform into one. Plus the Wolfsbane potion was still fairly recent, so they might've bitten themselves. He was a bit nervous about using the potion as well...he didn't want to be able to see himself in that form, didn't want to really know what a horrible creature he actually was. His mind was drifting off again with the fullmoon so close, he couldn't really help but wonder what was going to happen, what the potion might do... he wrenched himself back to earth with an enormous effort and said,
"So Zonko's sounds neat, the joke shop, what type of stuff do they sell?" He couldn't help but feel that he might've looked a bit odd in that situation. Wouldn't any other 16 year old want to know about Zonkos before some shack that no one went near? Still, Fionna seemed to be happy and blushing and so was he, so what did it matter, really?

He probably just had different interests. Fionna thought about the joke shop for a minute before saying, "It's really fun in there. Things are always going off and stuff. You can find Dungbombs, Hiccough Sweets, Frog Spawn Soap, Sugar Quills, Nose-Biting Teacups, and much much more in there. Most the stuff is banned from Hogwarts but nobody cares. They buy it anyway and sneak it in. I had fun setting off a dungbomb in history of magic once. The professor never did find out who did it but it wasted most the class time. It was a really boring lesson that day." She said grinning about her mischief. Other people did jokes and tricks more than her, but she would occasionally mainly to hold up her reputation as a gryffindor. Now as a prefect she rarely did it, but if she saw somebody else do something silly or banned she might look the other way if it is fun and not harmful.

((quoting you so you can see it in the morning =] )) Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
He laughed at the joke and said sarcastically, "Tsk, tsk, I thought prefects knew better!" He smiled at her and said, "That's pretty neat. I heard the headmistress doesn't mind too much about joke shop items and all as long as they aren't harmful and not used constantly." He thought about all the great items a bit dreamily for a moment before saying, "Gotta remember to bring all my money since I have a feeling I'll be using it all." He could only hope he'd find some reason or some excuse during the day monday for why he wasn't at practice that evening. Then she wouldn't be mad at him, and would still take him to Hogsmeade. He wouldn't dare say anyone in his family was sick or something, he knew his parents would never lie for him. Whatever. He'd end up going to Hogsmeade, so since he was done with Herbology anyways, he might as well find out what it was like while he could.
"So what type of sweets are in Honeydukes? I heard they're really great. Sorry if I'm asking a lot by the way." He smiled and flushed a bit, "I've just never actually been there before! Maybe once when I was really little? Dunno, I don't remember it."

Still am not." She grinned and continued, "Oh yea but some of the professors aren't very tolerant though they never really catch who does stuff." She shrugged. Only a few people ever got caught doing stuff. They were either young or new to it. She was getting excited just thinking about going to Hogsmeade with Lucas. It would be so much fun.
"Oh Honeydukes is heaven." She said recalling all the sweets in there. "It'd be hard to name everything in htere. Row after row of candy and sweets but some are Spindle's Lick'O'Rish Spiders, Sugar Quills, Acid Pops, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Cauldrons, Chocolate Frogs, Chocolate Wands, Exploding bonbons, Fizzing Whizzbees, Liquorice Wands, Treacle fudge, and so much more. I can't even name everything." She smiled remembering the scent of the place it smelled delightful full of sugar to rot your teeth.

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
At that moment the bell rang, ((just saying this since we're using so much of the Herbology class to talk XD and we can head to the common room for the RP in there)) Lucas could hardly believe it was so late. It felt like only a few minutes. Time flies when you're having fun? Anyways, he needed to head to his next class, which Fionna wasn't in. ((Just acting like it's the end of a Friday)) "It sounds awesome." He said, picking up his books and leaving the classroom, carrying the juice from the plants in a bottle.
"Well, I'm off to my next class, I'll see you for dinner in the Great Hall!" He wished he could've hugged or given her a quick kiss goodbye, but he just waved and smiled as he headed off in the opposite direction, disappearing through the oncoming tidal wave of students.

She wished they could just sit here and talk all day. It would be really amazing if that were possible but it just wasn't. She nodded agreeing that the shop really is awesome before putting her things in her bag and standing up. "See ya Lucas! Have fun!" She said before turning in her own direction.

Helen was delighted to have such a simple task - one of her chores back home in Ireland everyday was to check and prune her mother's shrivelfigs, which she used in various potions and also a few recipes. She picked up a small set of shears and began clipping away the dead leaves with ease and accuracy. She had never actually peeled a shrivel fig however, and when she was done pruning she was a little hesitant to go near it - her mother at home would have killed her for doing such a thing. She slowly brought the blade which she had just picked up across the skin of the plant, and was amazed when she saw it begin to dribble purple juice into the bowl beneath. When it stopped giving out liquid, Helen nearly had half a bowl full. She took out a few vials from her potions it and siphoned it all into them. She sat down, quite delighted with herself and her efforts, and hoped she was doing well enough to impress her professor.

Donavon Epithia
Head of Hufflepuff
Herbology Professor
Lesson 3:
Donavon stepped to the front of the class and began as soon as silence fell. “Please turn to page 15 of your Herbology books.” He said.
“Today you will be studying a plants called Lovage. Lovage, also known as Levisticum officinale is a plant similar to celery, whose fruit and seeds are used in cooking. It has been used in herbal medicines for centuries, especially to facilitate digestion. Lovage is most efficacious in the inflaming of the brain, and is used as an ingredient in Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts.” He looked around at them all and when they all seemed focused enough to begin work he said;
“Good. Now then, please split into groups, there is a basket full of celery and random mixed plants with one stalk of Lovage mixed in. They are practically identical except for a few factors you will find on page 15. You need to find the stalk of Lovage by the end of class, using your books. If you think you've found it, call me over and I'll check. If you do find it before the end of class, you can start the homework. For homework, I want a half a list on parchment (At least 10 bullet points) about identifying these plants.”
A couple groans, of course everyone hated the homework, but it's not like he couldn't give them homework. ((I know it's a bit and you kinda need to make it up as you go so if you don't do it, you're too busy irl, it's okay, but if you DO write the paper, then you'll gain points. ***I'll look it up so if you copied all of it from the internet, I'll take points for plagiarism.))

Drago Alta - 2nd year Gryffindor
Drago took out his Herbology text book and turned it to the 15th page. He looked at the basket and wondered which one could be the Lovage. The Professor wasn't kidding. They all looked the same. It was like picking a needle out of a stack of similar needles. He smiled at Al when the Professor mentioned splitting into groups. "Do you want to be in a group with me." He asked her, then realized that he might not have needed to. He looked back at the basket, took out a stalk, and smelt it to see if it smelled like something other than celery. It didn't. He set it aside and took out another one, smelling it too.

Azrael Rain
1st Year Hufflepuff~ Azrael walked up to a table shyly while she was flipping to page 15 in her book and found it just as she sat down in a chair. She read for a moment then looked up at the basket. She then began picking up stalks to see if she could find any possible differences in the leaves, if there were any they weren't at all obvious. Looking back down at her book she began reading as much as she could to see if she could find a different way to tell the herbs apart. This wasn't going to be easy.
