Are You Gonna Finish That?
Dennis woke up pretty late from a nap. It wasn’t a nap he was supposed to be taking. He was in the middle of completing his herbology homework. He had not used his time wisely and instead of planning enough time for herbology, he chose to focus more on his Charms work and then his potions. Worse still, he was going to be late for herbology. He gathered up his notes and books, shoving them all in his bag and bounded out the door.
His only hope would be to find a student who was there early to check his answers. He wasn’t normally this careless with his homework. Perhaps there was a Hufflepuff or Gryffindor who
Would have sympathy for his sob story. For incomplete homework, he would not find any sympathy from Ravenclaw or Slytherin. The red haired Scot open the doors to the greenhouse. Perfect. It seems he was early and there were only a few students milling about.
“Let’s see. Who to ask?” He muttered to himself. Slytherin? That won’t do. A few Ravenclaws? Definitely not. And then he saw her. Perfect. Dennis walked over, past his own potting station and found a brunette Gryffindor.
“Morning, Dhamathi,” Dennis said with a smile. Everyone knew who she was. She was always answering questions and getting well earned points for her house. “I don’t know if you know me. I’m Dennis Tumberton. I think we have a few other classes together. But I noticed you are really excellent at this herbology stuff.”
Dennis helped himself to a seat beside her. He showed her his hastily done homework and looked rather bashful, his red hair falling over his eyes. He blew hard, and his hair moved out of the way. “As you can see, some of my other homework got in the way of completing the assignment. Might I be able to take a look at your work and compare notes?” Dennis said this in whisper in case the professor might be hiding behind some plant or…knowing the teachers here, hiding inside the plants.

Dhamathi was early for class today. She finished off the rest of her homework early and she even had a chance to visit the library and borrow a book. She comes in settling down. She notices that students from all the houses are present. They are either studying exotic plants or having a conversation with a fellow housemate. She feels a little lonely since she has no one to have a conversation with. She wished that she could open up and become friends with people. But she's not used to that. She feels excluded not allowing her to be her talkative self. Just as she was having this thought a boy with red hair which is falling over his eyes came up to her and sat next to her.

Morning, Dhamathi. I smile back at him and he understands that I'm greeting him back without using words. I've seen him around. As per my memory calls, he's the one always working on the charms or potions homework. “I don’t know if you know me. I’m Dennis Tumberton. I think we have a few other classes together. But I noticed you are excellent at this herbology stuff.” She smiled at the compliment. She hadn't heard a compliment since the one Sere gave her on the train. She finally had some courage to speak. She didn't want to lose a person who was becoming a friend. "Nice to meet you, Dennis. I've seen you around. Oh hey! Take a seat."
He sat down and she saw him open his homework which she noticed was done with no passion and was done hastily. "Can I take a look at your work and compare notes?” Dennis whispered to her. "Sure, I don't mind. Just act as if you missed a few notes and you are copying those so that the others don't get to know.". Dennis starts taking down the notes and she watches as he does so. She looks around now and then to make sure no one's watching them.
Just as Dennis is finishing up the work, a boy with curly hair, two-colored eyes, and of average height walks towards them from the opposite side. She instantly recognizes him. Ozias, Ozias Tsongé.

Facing a time crunch, he quickly headed up to the Ravenclaw commonroom to retrieve the required materials that he would need for his next class: Herbology. Fortunately, before going down to the Great Hall for breakfast, he was able to squish in a few minutes to put his school uniform on. Upon reaching the male dorms, he quickly located all of the essentials just in time. Approximately 17 minutes remained until the class started as he exited the commonroom.
With his belongings in hand, Ozias swiftly descended the spiral staircase, managing to balance on the moving platforms. Stepping out into the December air, he was able to appreciate the cooler temperature, which also provided a refreshing touch to his morning. With the passing of a few moments, the boy found himself in a second building. However, he was deftly able to reach the other side and reach the Greenhouse's entrance, narrowly catching the door before it closed. Four minutes were still on the clock.
Exhaling a sigh of relief, Ozias' jet black eye shifted to a calming, mint green shade — the color of relief. A moment later, he spotted familiar faces in the form of Dennis Tumberton and Dhamathi Suresh. Observing them briefly, Ozias noted Dennis glancing at Dhamathi's notes, though the exchange was fleeting. In no time, they reorganized their materials, readying themselves for whatever awaited them.
"Are they seriously trying to hide that they're cheating from me?" Ozias thought to himself.
"Hey!" He called towards them. "Are you two...cheating?"

Dennis was relieved. Count it on a Gryffindor to be generous with their notes when given their proper praises. “Thanks, Dhamathi!” The red headed Ravenclaw said cheerfully as he slid her homework over to his side of the shared Herbology desk. He got to work as fast as possible cross checking his answers and writing in the missing pieces. He wasn’t completely right, but his work wasn’t half bad for being rushed. Herbology being his least favorite of the subjects, always avoiding it to the last possible moment.
“This…oh…I was wrong here.” Dennis continued muttering to himself as he scratched out answers and wrote the correct answer all willy nilly like. Even though the faster he wrote the more like chicken scratch it became he couldn’t stand parchment that people didn’t at least pay attention to so he just got more and more annoyed with himself.
As he was finishing up another boy, Ozias was it? Came over. Great, a Ravenclaw caught up checking up his answers. Here came the lectures of ‘you should really have done this in your own time,’ and ‘you obviously aren’t paying attention very well if you wait until the last moment.’ Typical Ravenclaw banter. As he approached, Dennis took note of his changing eye colors but didn’t think much of it. He was still too busy trying to finish before class.
The boy, then, without any proper introduction accused him of cheating, just as he finally sat his quill down. “Sorry, just comparing answers,” Dennis smiled as he slid Dhamathi’s work quickly over to her. “Not all Ravenclaws are great at every subject, contrary to popular belief.” He jested at least trying to lighten the mood. He cleaned up the workstation and slid his work in his bag so he could feign having got it out for the first time when the teacher arrived.

Dennis had just completed notes when Dhamathi heard someone call out.

"Hey! Are you two...cheating?" asked Ozias in a curios tone. I whispered to Dennis,"Follow my lead." She spoke out to Ozias Oh no! Dennis was late to class yesterday as he was finishing up his Charms homework. He just was checking my notes from yesterday's class to see if he got his answers correct. Just as I was done, Professor Remedy Norden entered. She took a deep breath. Ozias went back to his place and Dhamathi whispered to Dennis, "Phew, that was close!". We were learning about Bouncing Bulbs. Dhamathi started talking to the plant while following the instructions their Professor was giving them.
Dennis asked her "Why are you talking to a plant?". She replied,"I read that talking to plants helps them grow since they breathe in reverse. They make oxygen for us to breathe, and in return, we give them carbon dioxide. So talking to them is like a little treat."
Dhamathi finishes up her project. She's waiting for the others to finish their projects so that the professor can tell them what to do next. While waiting she gets mesmerized in her thoughts. These thoughts are suddenly disrupted when Ozias comes up to her.
