Simon went to the Professor. "Sorry about talking in your class, but Treyen deserved everything I said, he's been mean to me for some reason lately and we used to be good friends." Simon sighed maybe that was why he was feeling rebelious at the moment.
Suddenly Simon looked at the Plant. "Professor I don't believe a word you are saying if it was deadly you wouldn't have been able to bring it into class and you wouldn't have been able to get it into the tank." Simon thought for a moment he was a wizard and they could move things without touching them. "Though if you are telling the truth what would happen if you touched it?" Simon wondered what would happen if say the Professor touched it. "It's better to be safe than sorry... take potions for example... too much or too little of a particular substance could be dangerous... same goes for plants. A clear example of that is the mooncalf solution we used today... more than a drop and it would have been too toxic for the Coral to survive. Just the right ammount ad it will highly increase its chances of survival."
Clearly the boy had a lot to learn about magic in general...
Ahh an appology... so nice of him. Seren was starting to think he might be alright after all... just woke up on the wrong side of bed. "That's alright dear... and I hope things get better for you. If he continues to give you grief then perhaps have a word with your Head of House."
Oh as for the plant, he had a decent question. "Ahh I'm glad you asked. During my time abroad I met a number of witches and wizards who were studying the plants movements... Occasionally when the tide is right an ill, or in this case deceased specimen, is uprooted, then its simply a matter of trapping it- from a safe distance."
If only she could be credited with the capture, but she wasn't.
"But unless you're an expert in the field I wouldn't recommend trying it."

However, when she said that it was one of the 'deadliest plants known', a spark of attention went through the Slytherin.
He slowly approached it with his eyes glued open, as if it would grow a mouth and massive teeth to eat him with. Plants couldn't do that, though... right? Finally at the front, Jamie stared at the plant with an intrigued expression. The Prayer Flower. "Cool." He muttered. Plants! COOL? Jamie's mind had been corrupted by this somewhat good lesson. He had no questions about it, because he had no intelligence.
Snapping out of that, the third year turned to the professor and smiled. "Thanks for the lesson, professor. See ya." Really, he had to stop talking to professors like they were his pals. Swiftly, he exited the ship and now his next step of the day would probably be... Karate? "You welcome", replied Seren brightly, eyes still traansfixed to the plant. Quote:

After all, it wasn't everyday you would hear a plant being called deadly.
The closed up sight of the plant confused Brielle even more. How could something that looked so magical cause harm? Her mouth opened to ask, but something pushed it back shut. She had been afraid to talk to professors, something about their commanding attitude always managed to hold her back. Not this time, though. "Professor, in what way can this plant be deadly?" she asked, her curiosity overcoming her fear. Smiling to herself, she awaited the answer. "Very good question... though its hard to imagine, the Prayer Flower is ferociously omnivorous... it will feed on any flesh it has access to. Human, animal, plant... they're ravenous things. ou'd have to pray hard if you ever come across one... it's how it got its name- dark humour."
Very dark humour indeed... there certainly wasn't anything funny about coming across one in the wild. Quote:

He stuck the tag at the side of the tank then quickly collected his things. His eye caught the ethereal looking plant, and although he heard the Professor say it was dead, to him it looked merely asleep, a decoy to thinking that it was already harmless. With a huff to banish away that mooncalf stench still riding up his nostrils, he jerked his head up at the Professor "See ya'round Ma'am" he said as he drew near the gangplank, waited for his Lexi before stepping off the ship. "See you later", said Seren brightly as the Slytherin went to disembark.
