Temperance Hallow walked into her new classroom, a smile on her face. Being headmistress was great, but teaching, especially teaching Herbology, was what she had been looking forward to all break. "Ok class, my name is Temperance Hallow, and I will be your Herbology teacher as well as your Headmistress." Temperance said in a clear voice to the students in her class. "You may call me either Professor or Headmistress, which ever you prefer. Be sure to look at the rules for this class as you may be tested on them later. Now, I thought that we should start with something easy, so today we will be studying Devil's Snare." Temperance flicked her wand, causing a detailed drawing of the plant to appear on the blackboard behind her desk.
"Devil's Snare has been used for many years to guard valuable items or to attack enemies, because it suffocates whatever it touches. Now, if Devil's Snare ever grabs you, you will want to stay as still as possible because struggling will only cause the plant to tighten around you even more quickly with it's tentacle-like appendages." Temperance looked out the window, wishing she was holding class out in the greenhouses. "Normally we'd be having class in the greenhouses, but the Venemous Tentacula is a bit testy right now. But back to the lesson, does anyone have any questions?" Temperance let her gaze flow around the room for a moment. "No? Alright then, collect your homework on the way out, and please, enjoy the sunshine." Temperance said as she gestured to the door, dismissing her students.
