(((OOC- I've decided that today is a practial lesson. NO textbooks this time.)))
IC-
Eden began to groom his Vemonous Tantacula while the students filed into the greenhouse. He was a bit more confident on that they got to plants. He gave the plant a sharp slap to keep it from wrapping it's vines around them. He grin at the students when they saw the Tantacula. He has had this plant since he was 10 and he trusted it, but they didn't.
He stopped grooming and began to water it. When mostly everyone was in, he began. "Welcome to Greenhouse 6. I've decided to not use the textbooks today. You don't need to know why because it doesn't concern you. Today we're studying the Venomous Tantacula. A dangerous plant, yes, but I personally love them. This one here..." he point to the Tantacula he was grooming." Is one of my best friends. I've had him ever since I was 10. Now, we trust each other much. Sure when he teethes, I have to slap him, but that's it. I will alow you to get into groups of 2 and pick a Tantacula. Anyone have a problem with it?" he waited for anyone to answer. After a brief silence. "OK, I will be supervising of course. Oh, and if they start to wrap their vines around you, slap them sharply. Let's get started shall we?"

Kalista looked around, she was most eager to gain a plant. She could see some of the students not being so eager but she, well, she rather liked the plant life, venomous or not, it always served a purpose of some sort.
She looked now for a partner to begin.

ShoShana was being shy. Not because she was afraid of the plant, but because she sensed a Pure-blooded Demon in the green house.
The last time she’d seen a Pure-blood here at Hogwarts was when she had met Eurus and he had beaten the crap out of her. Not a nice welcome to her new school.
Sho suddenly wished her Retriever-like tail and Husky-like ears were invisible as she saw the Demon look around for a partner.

Prairie Rose made her way to a near by empty table carefully observing her spiky, dark red Venomous Tantacula... She was new to the school, and had yet to really meet anyone so she sat there alone confident in her abilities... She gazed at the beautiful plant observing how the vines gently caressed her hand as if it meant no harm... She laughed inwardly thinking about how such a beautiful plant could be so deadly, however beautiful deadly things were nothing new to her... She continued to care for the adolescent plant hoping someone would join her, but she was more curious about extracting the venom and what she could do with it... Of course with such a sapling the venom was not very useful, but in years to come the plant would indeed make a good potion or two...
She carefully observed the others in the room... To one side was an anxious demon and to the other a shy Gryffindor... Being new to the school, she had not yet been tutored in the appropriate distaste for the two so she just smiled and continued looking over her project...

Ashlle looked around the Green house and saw a girl who had already clamed one of the deadly plants for her own. Seeing as the Professor had told them to pair off, she went to introduce her self to the girl.
“My name is Ashlle A. Rainier and I was wondering if we could share the plant you’ve got there,” she asked, looking straight into the girls eyes with her cold blue ones.
She didn’t mean to be unfriendly, the opposite in fact, but she couldn’t help her look. That was just the way she was born.

"Hello Ashlle A. Rainier, my name is Rose." she said as she looked into the cold blue eyes that mirrored her own in depth but slightly lighter in color. "Be my guest," she finished as she motioned to the chair next to her. She appreciated the fact that Ashlle didnt seem over friendly or even icy cold. She was too nervous about being new to bother with too many formalities at the moment. She did manage a gentle smile before turning her gaze back towards the beautiful plant.

Ashlle sat down in the chair indicated.
“Thank you” She said, making herself comfortable. She observed the plant for a little while, soon getting out a quill and parchment. With these she began to write about her observations.
“So you must like plants a lot to have gone for this one so quickly.” Said Ashlle eyes on her paper. What she didn’t notice was the Venomous Tantacula was slowly winding around the top of her quill, attempting to yank it out of her hand.

Rose quickly swatted at the juvenile plant as it tried unsuccessfully to grab Ashlle's quill. "I have a fascination for poisonous things. Always been a hobby of mine. Being brought up in Texas I had the pleasure of encountering many poisonous snakes, spiders, scorpions, and lizards. I guess I just grew to respect them over the years." Prairie Rose said back to Ashlle realizing maybe she should take some notes as well.

Kalista smiled inwardly at the girls fright, she understood, but as she was trying to actually learn something in the walls of the school, not here for attacking or murdering students that unluckily strayed into her path, she started laughing and shook her head.
She noticed a rather small, perhaps the smallest Tantacula in the green house and walked over to it. She looked down and smiled, her demonic eyes turning to an almost loving glance at the tiny little thing. “Ok, looks like I will help you then.” She said to herself, and then waited to see if there was one brave enough to partner with her.

Kody, having finally managed to gotton the stuff that had fallen out her bag back in, looked around before spotting Kalista. She walked over. "Hello there. May I join you as your partner?" she asked politely.

Kalista looked at the girl and offered her a warm smile. “Yes, thanks.” She answered, happy tat there was one with courage enough to join her.
“What do you think f the little one?’ She then asked, looking down at the tiny little plant..

Professor Eden grinned. He knew letting them get partners would make them finally know each other.

Kody grinned at Kalista and then smiled warmly at the little plant. "I love it already. Definitely worth our care, as is all plant life. Oh, and I don't believe we've even been introduced. I'm Kody."

Kalista smiled at Kody. “Hi Kody, names Kalista. I’m glad you agree. I think this little one can be just as large and healthy as all the rest, with the right, loving care hat it needs.” She said, her onyx eyes turning back down upon the little plant. “I agree also, that all plant life should be treated such.”

Eleanor entered the greenhouse gladly, setting her bag down on one of the unused tables before venturing over to the groups of potted Tentaculas. She wasn't too sure about them - after all, they did look quite viscious, but if the Professor was absolutely sure that they could handle themselves with such an advanced plant, then she was sure of it as well. She approached one of the vine-draped plants that did not yet have anyone near it, being careful not to get too close for the plant's comfort. She really had no idea how close was too close, but she figured as long as she didn't really lean into it things would be okay.
The girl watched the rest of the students stream in at random intervals, hoping that everyone would be gathered soon so that they could start. She didn't like the hint of nervousness growing in the pit of her stomach - learning about the plant would definitely help her...she hoped.
