RP Herbology

Outdoor greenhouse

Entering the empty greenhouse, Lily continued.

L: Well he is a funny man.

Evangeline didn't take herbology so obviously she wasn't there. Neither does Lily btw.

Yes they do!

I swear they don't.

ARE YOU NOT REFERRING TO THE TIMETABLE!?

Oh yeah. Read the wrong day.

E: Mm, I got that part...

L: But he clearly has... You know. Feelings.

E: Does he? It certainly doesn't seem that way. He has two settings: sullen and asleep.

L: Next time you see him, watch his face. I mean you didn't know him before, but...

Before she could finish her sentence, Professor Beech walked in, her flushed face and long, wavy blonde hair making her the most youthful looking of the teachers, but her eyes, dark and lined, were aged and suggested that she was constantly tired.

PB: Settle, settle!

Evangeline paid attention, for the most part, but kept frowning.

PB: Now, my NEWT class! It is simply wondrous to see you here in greenhouse 4!

She smiled.

PB: Today we will be dealing with Venomous Tentacula!

Lily whispered.

L: He's clearly hung up on you!

E: You can't be serious!

Evangeline hissed back, just as Professor Beech passed her and Lily's desk.

E: Maybe he's just... annoyed about being back at school.

PB: Class, we will be pruning our venomous tentacula. Now, you must be aware that a bite can prove fatal, and they may try to seize you from behind in order to strange you. In this case, you are allowed to swear loudly.

Lily pulled on some dragon skin gloves and set to work.

L: He loves being at school!

E: What, he doesn't prefer home?

L: Oh no. His mother, well she's a... Diffindo!

The jaws of the biting tentacle snapped shut.

L: Well. She's horrible! She stands by you-know-who.

Evangeline gasped.

E: No! Walburga Black?!

L: Yes! And Sirius had to break free from his family. It's quite inspiring really. Well it would be if he wasn't such an arse.

She slapped another tentacle as it reached for her.

Evangeline looked down in thought.

E: Oh my goodness, I had no idea.

L: And that's why it's easy to see when he's upset. Because he's normally got a cocky grin on his face.

E: I don't think I've seen him grin once.

L: Well there you go.

PB: Watch out, Miss Loveridge!

Professor Beech swatted at a tendril of Venomous Tentacula.

Evangeline ducked.

E: Stupefy!

She stunned the tentacula.

L: Gosh.

Lily was distracted.

L: What was I saying?

E: That Sirius is 'hung up' on me.
