Detention with Professor Sprout involves injuries...

Stupid biting plant!

Makes the lesson stick. *twinkle twinkle dumbly's eyes*

Getting caught breaking curfew and that "I can't believe a prefect is ignoring rules" look was enough...

But "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime." I did it, and so I shall deal with the punishment. Even if it hurts.

What does she have you doing?

Today I was transferring this plant with teeth like a cat's which apparently loves the taste of human flesh from its old pot into a new one.

I'd even rather work with mandrakes than this thing. Don't know what else she has in store for me. Two more detentions to serve.

How so?

A biting plant? Like a Venus Fly trap?

She teaches Herbology at my school, and some.. very interesting things are in that greenhouse.

No, I'm talking "has teeth that function as well as a cat's and likes the smell of human flesh and I had to transfer it from old soil into new soil.

I enjoy Herbology, just learning some of it. In the greenhouse?

....I've never heard of such a plant.

Greenhouse C, I think it was. There are quite a few, for the various lessons she teaches.

Be glad. Be very glad. I wasn't listening when she told me its name. I was too busy staring at the teeth.

I don't go to the school you go to.

I own a flower shop and never heard of such a flower. Very odd. What is it called?

[monthlyproblem.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry. I never know who does and doesn't. It's large enough that I'm not always sure.

Don't know. Like I said, I wasn't listening. I was too busy noticing its teeth.

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

It's quite alright, I haven't been in school for a couple years. What school do you go to?

Well, if I ever see a plant with huge teeth, I will avoid it.

[monthlyproblem.livejournal.com]

Hogwarts.

That would be my advice. Unless you've got dragonhide gloves. Then it's not a problem.

[livingwithtruth.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.

I will try to remember, thank you.

Have you tried wearing two pair of dragonhide gloves? You'll work a little more slowly, but hardly anything can bite its way past two pair!

I believed her when she told me I would just be cleaning up, doing some heavy lifting.

Then she reminds me at the end to remember to bring them next time. I think she's under the impression I was planning trouble being so near the Hufflepuff Common Room. Even though I was alone. Not with my troublemaking friends!
