"I've got a cauldron full of hot, strong love and it's bubbling for you..", herbology professor Matthieu Valentine hummed as he opened the door to the greenhouse number three. Since it was Saturday and he had the entire day off, he would have plenty of time to do preparations for the next week's herbology lessons. He planned to teach seventh graders about one of the most dangerous plants there was, Venomus Tentacula, and in order to have an interesting lesson he would need to collect some leaves and seeds from the plant, to show to the students.

Venomous Tentacula stood in the far end of the greenhouse, apart from all the other plants. Matthieu had decided that was for the best. The plant was nasty piece of work and he didn't want to risk having any harm done to the other plants.

"Don't you be afraid, come and take a sip, of this steamy, tasty treat.." professor Valentine continued humming and picked up two round bowls and big pincers from the shelf on the side of the room. He placed the bowls on the table near Venomous Tentacula but kept pincers in his right hand. Then he took his wand in the pocket of his robe. "Immobulus!", Matthieu said with a determined voice directing his wand to the plant. The plant stopped moving immediately and allowed Matthieu to approach without being a target to venomous bites. Quickly professor Valentine cut couple leaves off, but Venomous Tentacula was a strong magical plant and the freezing charm couldn't work very long. Soon the plant started to slowly move again and Matthieu had to retreat.

The work was slow and tedious. Not too long had passed when Matthieu decided it wasn't a job for one person after all. He put the pincers down and made his way back to the door and took a look at the school yard. The weather was really windy that Saturday and most of the students and school staff had apparently thought it would be better to stay inside. There were some however and soon enough Matthieu noticed a purple haired boy he remembered to be very talented at herbology. "Hey, you!", Matthieu shouted and waved his hand at the boy. "Mr. Kushnir! Would you come here?"

Ivan were immersed in his thoughts and got scare when someone yelled his name. After few steps he got his speed stopped and looked at the greenhouses were he saw his herbology professor. Ivan wonder what kind of things professor has to say? Has there something wrong in his homework? Lightly jogging Ivan went to the professor and looked quickly around him. “Yes, p-professor?” he asked after a while. He staring at the professor wondering, what he had to say to Ivan.

Mr. Kushnir came quickly looking a bit worried as he said stuttering: "Yes, p-professor?" Matthieu had completely forgotten that the boy had a tendency to stutter. He wondered if there was anything he could do to help him get rid of that but as of now there was probably nothing he could do about that.

"No need to worry, boy. I was just wondering if you could maybe help me with something?" Matthieu said similing gently. The boy probably didn't have much to say on this though, whether he did or did not want to help him it was exremely rude to refuse when a professor asked you to do something so Mr. Kushnir wouldn't have a choice really. Professor Valentine disliked this power imbalance and he would've much rather been more like a peer to his students.

The herbology professor walked back to the greenhouse expecting Mr. Kushnir to follow him. When they got inside he turned to the boy standing several meters away from the poisonus plant. "I'm trying to collect leaves from this plant but as you may know it's poisonous so it has to be immobilised in order to be approachable", professor explained handing over the pincers to Kushnir. "What I need you to do is simply cut off leaves while I keep the plant unmoving", he said. Matthieu knew some of the other professors wouldn't approve this at all, after all he was putting Mr. Kushnir in real danger regardless of him being keenly supervised.
