Penny took the seat offered, and smiled.."Yes I did actually, I spent some time in Ireland with family and my Grampa took me along to Egypt, he's doing some research there...and I visited the Ministry of Magic, my prize for being top Hufflepuff student", she finished with a blush..

Penny noticed that Professor Bentley was looking at the plant in her hand...
"OH I definitely wouldn't want to covered in sap again", she said with a smile.. remembering when she had first gotten the plant and how she ended up head to toe in sap..

"Actually Professor this plant here is for you... I wasn't sure if you had one or not and I've read that they can be really useful and used as an antidote to nervousness, shyness and people who are timid.

Penny sat the plant on Professor Bentley's desk.
