Penny then stuck her hand in the air to answer the question now..."Sir, I think that's Gillyweed, and when it is eaten, the person gets gills on the side of his/her throat so they can breath safely under water and also they get elongated and webbed fingers and toes"
She sat back into her chair wondering; if anyone has noticed that it is Penny sitting among them, not Violet Le Veela...
Selina watched carefully as Violet started to charm the teddy bear. Something was off... Violet Le Veela was the most brilliant witch at Charms she had ever seen and now she was having trouble performing a simple
Diffindo Charm? That was not like her at all. And there was a sparkle missing in Violet's eye when she performed the Charm. Selina Skylar knew her best friend and this was very out of character for her. She leaned over and said to her friend, "What has you all out of funk with your Charms today?"
Then when the Professor posed the next question Selina replied, "Sir, that's gillyweed, that is. It's a plant with special properties that everyone has mentioned gives the person who ingests it gills for an allotted amount of time. Usually an hour with a certain amount of gillyweed."
