The classroom of Mystical Botany was filled with the soft hum of nature: the rustling of enchanted leaves, the faint scent of blooming flowers, and the quiet chirping of the small Divatas that fluttered around Professor Ylang-Ylang.
The usual warmth of the greenhouse-like space was tempered by the overcast sky outside, casting a greyish light through the crystal dome above.
The first years sat at their desks, some lazily resting their chins on their hands, others idly twirling quills or murmuring to one another.
Then Professor Ylang-Ylang clapped her hands, her golden eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Class, today we have a new student joining us," she announced from her usual perch atop her stool.
Murmurs rippled through the students.
Aiden, seated next to Sevan and Adrian, lifted a brow.
Another new student? It was rare for students to transfer into Genvah Academy once the academic year had begun.
