Demetrius smiled gently as his students came into the room. He was always bad with names, and that was the main reason he wanted students to do the assigned excersize today. Otherwise, he probably would forget. He was busy manually placing the plants on the students desk, and introduced himself to the earlier students. "Good Afternoon, I'm Professor Demetrius." He smiled and plopped 2 plants in front of the pink haired girl, and the red-haired one. They seemed like an interesting pair, and waved in a couple of students who appeared to be afraid to walk in. The students probably didn't know that for half of them, (The Hufflepuff's) He was their new Head of House. They would figure that out soon enough, and that didn't bother Demetrius.

"Oh I've never asked you Evvie, whats it like beinga fairy? It sounds so cool" October had said to Evvie. Evvie's smile widened, "Well, its nice to be able to fly without a broom, but being big like this is alittle confusing at first. Maybe I'll show you sometime," Evvie said, remembering a small spell that would shrink regular sized people and give them wings for a short period of time.
When the Professor put their plants in front of them, Evvie smiled at him, "Hi Professor!" She said and giggled slightly. Then she turned her attention to the plant that he had placed in front of her.
"Ooh I love this plant!" She said and once again giggled. She reached her finger out and began petting the plant almost like one would pet a dog. The plant seemed to be enjoying it.
She watched as Luna also petted her plant and she was amused. "You have the heart of a Fairy," Evvie said happily to Luna, who simply smiled.

"wow really?" October said delighted, it would be really interesting to see things from Evvie's perspective She looked up as Professor Demetrius put a strange plant down in front of her Evvie giggled and said hello to the professor, October smiled at him feeling her cheeks go slightly pink. She watched as Evvie and Luna began stroking their plant, she eyed her own plant cautiously and reached forward, nervously placing her finger on the plant, it made a strange sound and she drew her hand back quickly. Evvie smiled, "don't worry it's really friendly" she said reassuringly, October blushing at her own stupidity, reached forward more confidently and stroked the plant, in a weird way the plant was sort of cute.

"Exactly," Evvie said, smiling as October petted her own plant. "But keep your hand away from its mouth. If they think that they can get by with it, the plant will take a nibble." Evvie warned.
By the sounds that her own plant was making, it had fallen asleep. Evvie giggled quietly. This is when she noticed that Illianna and Andie were now sitting at the table beside theirs. She waved happily at her other friends.
She then turned back to October, "How about after this class I'll give you a first person point of view on the life of a fairy?" Evvie offered happily. She then frowned slightly, "The only problem that I have as a fairy is that Fairies have very short attention spans. its one of the reasons why people think we're not very bright." She said, and shrugged her shoulder before smiling happily again.
She watched as the professor handed out the other plants. She couldn't wait to see what he had planned for the class.

October smiled widely "that would be amazing" she said "since your showing me what it's like to be a fairy, I'll let you in on a little secret, but I tell you later, it's a surprise" she said grinning mischievously, October wasn't sure why she was trusting Evvie with her secret but there was something about her new friend which made her sure she would tell anyone.
"and I don't think your not very bright, you seem very intelligent to me" she said smiling "if not a little clumsy" she teased, laughing to show she was joking.
October patted her plant affectionately and inspected the new one on her worktop, it appeared to be a fuzzy green cucumber which made an odd humming noise. She then turned to where Illyanna and Andie were sitting "hello" she said brightly to them both "Andie, I'm really sorry about before, I didn't mean it offensively" October apologized.

"Hello class." He said, smiling down at the students before him.
"Today, we are working with, as I'm sure you know. Kantenous Man Eating Plants." He said, and picked up his own plant, similar to the ones the kids had on their desks. "Oh, they won't eat you, I've given them a sedative. You are all very safe." He flicked the plant gently, and it's mouth peeled over, and showed the class it's ivory-looking teeth. "Does anyone know what these teeth are used for?"

Evvie giggled at the question and raised her hand, when the Professor acknowledged her she replied with "Um, to chew?" she waited a minute, giggled once more and then continued, "I'm kidding, they're used to make cards."
She said, still smiling. She loved these plants because she thought their teeth gave them character.

He was about to shake his head and ask someone else, when Evvie said they were used to make cards. "Correct, Miss Willows." He smiled, and pulled one of the teeth, to also show it wouldn't hurt the plant, even the slightest. "Here is the ace card." He said, showing the class. "Everyone is going to pick a card, and whoever ends up with the ace, has to introduce themselves, and say something interesting about themselves. If you don't want to say anything interesting, you don't need to." He said, knowing that he didn't want to force any of the children into an uncomfortable position. "So, Flick, Pick, and tell." He chuckled, and sat up on his desk, and watched the class.

October looked in confusion at the plant, how could it produce cards? she thought incredulousy, but sure enough Professor Demetrius produced a card from the plant.
October followed the instructions, hoping that it wouldn't be her who pulled out an ace, but sure enough the ace of spades imerged from the plants tooth, with a small groan she stood up holding up the ace for the professor to see, he nodded encouragingly. Taking a deep breath she said "Hi...I'm O-October Hawthorne and errrr" she stuttered think of something interesting to say, being put on the spot seemed to drain her mind of everything, "and I'm new here, I just came out of St.Mungo's after a potion exploded when I was at my old school, WADA" she finished. She felt her face glow and sat down quickly.
After a few more people had introduced themselvces to the class, the lesson finished. October said goodbye to Illyanna, Andie and Luna and left the greenhouse excitedly with Evvie skipping happily by her side.
