((OOC: You don't really give us any text on the website to get our answers from...))
Eleanor gave a warm smile to the Professor as she entered the classroom. She wondered why they were not assembling in the greenhouses as usual, but didn't voice her question. She quickly took a seat, rummaging through her canvas bag until her hands found their way around the battered Herbology book that she had purchased before coming to the school. She listened to the rest of the Professor's words as the other students took seats around her, fishing her quill from her pocket. It would need trimming before she went to bed - the end was dulled and left messier writing than it had a few days ago. The book was quickly paged through until the indicated page was found...
1. What is the only known way to unpetrify anyone? The only known way to unpetrify anyone is to give them a draught of juice from the Mandrake plant.
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula. What would you do? I would hope that it would choose not to bother me, first of all. If I don't bother it, it shouldn't have a reason to bother me.
3. Tell me what the cry of a full grown Mandrake do to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry? The cry of an adult Mandrake can kill anyone who is not wearing some kind of earplug, but the baby Mandrakes' cry will only knock people out for a few hours if they are not similarly protected.
4. What should you do with a Horklump?: Horklumps should be eradicated as soon as possible, to prevent the crowding out of other more favorable plants or herbs.
Essay
I suppose there's not much to tell, really... My name's Eleanor Sel'shea, and I'm a Hufflepuff. I enjoy just about everything to do with the outdoors, and I suppose that includes Herbology as well. I especially like Care of Magical Creatures and Divination - I'm hoping to do well in those two as I did in my previous school...this is my first year at Magical Horizons; a bit nervous for it.
The Hufflepuff girl stopped writing, carefully pocketing her quill as she read over the answers. Finally satisfied, the girl rose to set the paper on Professor Eden's desk. She could tell that he was a bit nervous, but wasn't everyone?
Good job Eleanor. I'm happy to meet you. Hopeful I can get you to like Herbology also before the school year is over. 4/4 and 20 for the essay.

Tekeru poked his head inside the class room door and looked around nervously. Walking into class with his books held close to him, taking his seat at a desk he took out his quill and paper. He started to write on the paper what the teacher told him to do.
1.What is the only known way to unpetrify anyone? ....The only known way to unpetrify anyone is with the Draught of the Mandrake.
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula. What would you do? Uh....Don't bother it and leave it alone, it will do the same to you.Except when teething.
3. Tell me what the cry of a full grown Mandrake do to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry? The cry of a full grown Mandrake will kill you if your ear arn't covered with something so you can't listen to it. The cry of a baby mandrake will only knock them out for sometime.
4. What should you do with a Horklump?: .... Horklumps should be either removed immediately to stop growth or fed to gnomes.
The essay:
Well....I don't really know what to say, I do get scared very easily and I am shy...I am Tekeru and I'm a Gryffindor. I love nature and would rather be in it all the time then in some city, I grew up in the forest and very close to them. I like animals and um....I think that's it...
He put his quill down and sat there nervously, his ears twitched waiting for the teacher to say something to him or the class.
Hello Tekeru, welcome to Herbology 101. Glad you chose to join us. Next time ask me for help if you need it. (PM me) 2/4 and a 19/20.

Kalista began writing on her pareer, the answer Mr.Eden wished for. A the top, she put her name and house and a little smiley face drawin next to it. Then, she began.
1: The mandrake draught is the only known way to heal, cure, a petrified person.
2: You should steer clear of te plant, but don’t become too alarmed, it will leave you alone for the most part and if it gets a little curios, just smack it away and tell it to leave you alone.
3; the full-grown Mandrake’s cry will kill who ever listens, hears it. The baby Mandrake cry will merely knock you out.
4: As to this one, I am uncertain, but I believe you should not do anything with it, or up root it and toss it away.Or feed it to a gnome.
Essay;
My name is Kalista Karador, I used to live in a small town but the town is now gone. I am the ward of the Ministry for now until they find some place else for me to live. I am in Slytherin and would very much to one day, become a healer.
Welcome to Herbology 101, Ms. Karador. May I ask what happened to the town? And I would like you to be a healer too. 4/4 and 18/20 for the essay.

Ashlle listened carefully to the teacher. He seemed nervous for some reason & Ashlle tried to smile at him for reassurance. How ever her smile was rust and didn’t work very well. She decided to share some of her White Chocolate covered Strawberries with him after class when she asked for extra credit.
Ashlle A. Rainier - Gryffindor
1.What is the only known way to un-petrify anyone?
The only known way to un-petrify someone who has been petrified is with a Mandrake Draft.
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula. What would you do?
Venomous Tentacula which can be recognized by its spiky, dark red coloring, should be avoided while it’s teething, for at this time it reaches out vines toward people. Slapping it lightly is the only way I’ve ever seen anyone get out of its grasp.
3.Tell me what the cry of a full-grown Mandrake does to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry?
The cry of the fully-grown Mandrake, or Mandragora, will kill you instantly, while the immature Mandrake will only knock you out for a few hours
4. What should you do with a Horklump?
This garden pest resembles a pinkish mushroom covered with bristles, but is actually a carnivorous animal rather than a plant. Horklumps are the favorite food of gnomes & if one infests your garden you aught to get some gnomes to get ride of it.
Essay
I am Ashlle A. Rainier, late of the Great Rainiers. I am eager to get on with my Wizarding Training; therefore I shall take any extra credit you can assign me.
I like White Chocolate, Thestrals, Fire and Sun Tea.
Very good Ms. Rainier. I have met your father on a couple of occasions. Great detail on the questions. Just need to work on your essay. 4/4 and a 19/20 for the essay.

Ribbon had watched the teacher sweat and heard his multiple pleas that this was his first time teaching. She was very sympathetic because she didn't think she could pull off being a teacher in a million years. She quietly worked on the assignment, watching her classmates and teacher for the interesting things they night do.
Ribbon Valedrawn
1. What is the only known way to unpetrify anyone?
The Draught of Mandrake.
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula. What would you do?
Leave it alone and it shouldn't bother you.
3. Tell me what the cry of a full grown Mandrake do to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry?
Baby Mandrakes will make you uncontious for a little while but a fully mature Mandrake will kill you with its cry.
4. What should you do with a Horclump?
A horclump should be pulled up if there are no garden knomes to eat it otherwise leave it and the knomes will eat it as it is their favorite food.
Essay
My name is Ribbon Valedrawn and I'm muggle born. I have lived on a ranch in Del Mar California all my life and my family breds and trains rare horse breeds. I really enjoy being at MH and hope to do well this year.
I've been to Del Mar on one occasion. YOur essay needs work but your answers are correct. 4/4 and a 18/20 on the essay.

Great job everyone! I meant to tell you earlier, I grade on a 20 point system. I'm locking this thread in one week. Here's the house points so far. It's kinda pathatic but there's not alot of people in this class...
[glow=red,2,300]Gryffindor:19[/glow]
[glow=yellow,2,300]Hufflepuff:20[/glow]
[glow=green,2,300]Slytherin:18[/glow]
I need to know which house Tekeru and Kalista want your points to go to.

Silver smiled as she set to the essay part of the class - she was less able at the practical side of Herbology, but always felt comfortable scribbling down her answers on a piece of parchment. Herbology 101 by Silver Stillwater, Hufflepuff Student
1: A petrified person can only be restored to their original state by using mandrake root (mandragora) to make a Restorative Draught. 2: Venemous Tentaculas are not as dangerous as many might believe; leaving it alone should prevent any actual attacks. However a sharp slap should prevent it from actually attacking. 3: A Mandrake's cry is lethal to anyone who hears it - however a baby Mandrake's cries are not fully developed yet, and therefore can cause people to faint. 4: Let the gnomes eat it - is is their favourite kind of food. If there are no knomes, however, simply leave it alone.
I am a new student at Magic Horizons, and although I was here for a short while at the end of last year I am very much looking forward to starting a whole year at MH. I love most of my subjects, and although I am not as superbly intelligent as most people here, I am really keen to learn and want to get better in all my subjects.
Silver smiled as she handed in her parchment, hoping she had done well.
Welcome Ms. Stillwater. I'm glad to teach you. And if I do my job right, you will get better in Herbology. 4/4 and a 20 on the essay.

Rose Arcana Slytherin Herbology - Assignment 1
1. What is the only known way to unpetrify anyone? The only known way to unpetrify anyone is to give them a draught made from the roots of an adult Mandrake plant.
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula. What would you do? They are not predatorily plants and will usually not bother anyone unless they are provoked. I would remain calm so that it would sense little fear and then leave the plant alone hoping I had not caused it any undue stress. Chances are if the plant is respected then it will show respect in return.
3. Tell me what the cry of a full grown Mandrake do to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry? The cry of an adult Mandrake can kill anyone who hears it full force. Even with ear plugs the cries can render you unconscious. When dealing with adult Mandrakes it is best to use a deafening spell on yourself were you will not be able to hear anything. A cry from an adolescent Mandrakes will not kill you, however its cry is still harmful enough to render you unconscious if proper muffling is not used.
4. What should you do with a Horklump?: Horklumps are a carnivorous animal that inhabit gardens. They are the favorite food of gnomes and can tend to be quite a pest. For the overall best health of your garden it is best to rid them as soon as you see them, however if you are too busy to keep a close eye on your garden then gnomes will help you with that problem. Just be careful because de-gnoming a garden is more work then getting rid of the Horklump.
A Few facts about myself:
My name is Rose Arcana and I was born in Texas to an upstanding pureblood family. I have one sister and one brother as well as many pets. I enjoy strange and especially poisonous creatures and I feel the world has little respect for these beings and as such are worse for it in the end.
I enjoy sports especially Quidditch in which I can play most positions, however my specialty is Chaser and Keeper. I played on a youth league back in Houston were I did fairly well. Also I enjoy music of all kinds, even muggle. Music is an art that few people take to heart. It has the power to persuade, teach, evoke feeling, mesmerize, captivate, and even control. Great power can be found within music for people willing to use it.
I have long wavy red hair and crystal blue eyes, standing only 5'2. However power can not be judged by size alone. At my last school I had top marks in all subjects and I hope to do as well here. Having been here only 1 day so far, I am still trying to get to know some people and find my way around the school. But I am up for the adventure and I hope to come out on top at the end of my journey with a wealth of knowledge to carry me through the rest of my life.
Welcome Ms. Arcana. Your in luck, we're studying Venomous Tantaculas next. ;D Great job! 4/4 and 20/20 for the essay.

Sho looked around. School was getting cooler and cooler. She was so happy to be learning about more than just healing that she would have liked to hug each and every one of the professors. As soon as the Assignment was given she got her book and parchment, & dipping her quill in the India ink she began to write.
ShoShana of Gryffindor
1.What is the only known way to un-petrify anyone?
A Mandrake Draft
2. Should you come across a Venomous Tantacula, what would you do?
I’d avoided it while it’s teething, because it’ll grab you with its Vines. I’ve heard slapping it away works.
3.Tell me what the cry of a full-grown Mandrake does to you? What about a baby Mandrakes cry?
It’ll kill you instantly, while the baby Mandrake will only knock you out.
4. What should you do with a Horklump?
Feed it to gnomes.
Essay
I am a Half-Demon of Futal Era Japan. You might think this would mean I am very old. You would be right; I am 1337 years old. I am Part Dog Demon, part Elemental Spirit and part Witch all though in my time they were called Priestess. My elements are Wind and Fire and I wish to learn to utilize them better. My Totem animal is a Dog and my dog is InuYasha.
I named her after an old love, whom gave me my sword, The Tetsiga when he died, and taught me the "Iron Revere Soul Stealer" that has become my signature fighting move. I’d love to learn some more physical self-defense while I’m here & also I think being an Auror would rock.
Futal Era? My that IS a long time! And Inuyasha was very famous for his deeds. 4/4 and 20/20 for the essay. ;D

Kalista read through her paper review and smiled. Then she thought about it and walked up to Professor Eden and looked at him, her expression a little curious. “Excuse me professor, but if you would like to learn more about what happened to my home, then maybe we could go talk sometime, like at Hogsmead or something.” She said a slight smile on her otherwise demonic features.
