He was calmer than the evening before, but the classroom still had the heavy drapes and held the shadowy light of candles. Specks of dust danced as the evening before. He lingered in the shadow as the evening before. But the air seemed lighter, cleaner. And Sorrow did not have to check his materials an insane number of times, just to convince himself that they were still there, stacked neatly on his desk.
The lock clicked open at the appropriate time; and Sorrow stood in the poor light to welcome the sixth year students. | |

| Herbology was one of Jett's worst subjects but he stuck with it anyway in case a tidbit of knowledge he gained would one day come in handy. He wondered how the professors at his new school taught and if he had already learned some the material covered or if he was going to be behind. With his thoughts on this matter he approached the classroom heedlessly and walked into a nearly empty chamber.
He was thrown off by the sinister look of the room and the thick air. Perhaps it was set up this way to help certain plants survive inside? Jett looked around carefully at the details before spotting who he assumed was the Professor lurking in the shadows. Unfazed, Jett waved a hand in greeting as he took a seat. "Good evening Professor," he called over brightly, "I'm Jett Winters, just arrived to Hogwarts. I've been looking forward to your class." A little white lie never hurt anyone. | |

| Alyssa was walking down the corridor when she heard some voices coming from inside the Herbology Room. She thought it was that boy from before but she wasn't sure. She wondered if he knew that the professor was a vampire, and if that bothered him. She ducked her head inside the doorway and said, "Professor, I'm sorry I wasn't present at class last time. I know it was important, but I had certain things that needed to be done. I can make up for all the classwork, I promise." | |

Sorrow gave a nod towards the boy. "In that case, Mr Winters, allow me to welcome you both to Hogwarts and my class. Now." “Chapter one please, so we may begin. As you might imagine, the name of this class suggests a study into the flesh-eating trees,” Sorrow leaned back on his desk, a copy of Castora Grimsby’s textbook in hand. “Chapter one introduces Ogre Oaks. Please begin reading, and we shall rush over the most important of facts by the end of the class.” - Chapter 1: From Acorn to Atrocious:
In this enticing chapter we are looking into the deepest corners, of the darkest forests among us. Hidden deep within the tangle of branches, bushes and wildlife, lurks one of many varieties of flesh eating trees. The Ogre Oak. This particular tree is named for its putrid sticky green bark, which will ensnare anything that wanders too close.
Ogre Oaks are most commonly found in enchanted forests. Occasionally one will wind up in a neighbouring Muggle forest, but they will not survive long in a non-magical environment. They are traveling trees and migrate to different parts of the forest. However movement does not come quickly to these towering trees. On average an Ogre Oak's top speed is around 0.1km per day. Even though it seems to take an eternity for these trees to move about, you will still want to be wary of their presence in the forest.
Ogre Oaks are one of the largest varieties of flesh eating trees. Often reaching far above the top of the canopy. Obscuring sunlight for surrounding trees, they are usually found standing alone. However they aren't exactly solitary beings. Fan-tailed Pheasants make their messy homes among the massive branches. These pheasants have intensely oiled feathers that allow them to interact with the tree without becoming trapped. The trees seem to appreciate their company and are often observed sheltering the birds during severe weather.
These oaks devour their prey by encasing them into the bark and then absorbing it into the roots. The entire process takes between 10-14 hours. If you find yourself ensnared you will have time to mount an escape plan. Whatever you do not panic! Struggling will only enmesh you further into the grasp of its beastly branches. If you happen to be wearing extra layers, it should be simple to slip away. If that won't work you can try singing the song of the Fan-tailed Pheasant. It sounds a lot like a chicken sneezing. The oak may think one of its inhabitants is in danger and release you. The only other option is to magically summon olive oil. Cover yourself completely and wriggle free. You may be overly moisturized for weeks, but at least you will be alive.
Ogre Oaks only need to eat once or twice during a one hundred year period. They will often entrap an unsuspecting unicorn or a napping nargle. Although they can be extremely dangerous, they are a big part of our magical forests and should be respected for the great giants they are.

| Pulling out his book, Jett began to read the chapter Professor Grace had indicated. Flesh eating trees? Orge Oaks that devoured people? Well those sounded horrid. It was rude, really. Someone could just be enjoying a nice stroll through the forest and then the next minute being literally digested by a tree? Tress were supposed to be scenery, not killers
Jett's eyes narrowed as he read on. It was all new information of course. He did little to study for herbology outside of class. This topic was a good example of why. How could you ever learn what tree was going to eat you what time of the year or how to coax one into growing? It was too much of a gray scale to Jett. He preferred classes where the things you learned stayed the same and there was little free will involved in his subjects.
Still he filed the information he received into his brain, ready for future use if ever needed. Jett doubted that he would ever need to know what kind of pheasants lived in Orge Oaks, though. It was just facts that were now taking space away from the things he deemed were important. | |
