She did enjoy Herbology and it was one of her favorite subjects after Care of Magical Creatures and Transgifuration, but it was still sort of odd to think of them in that light. Just ignore how quickly she had taken to calling her metal egg by name and thinking it was actually a living thing last term. "Or does the gnawing on raw meet accomplish that?"
More little tidbits for her to write down and remember...once she removed this bloody pot that is.
Upon hearing Professor Bentley's instructions to 'give it a good tug,' Kurumi took a deep breath and flexed her arm muscles. 1...2...3! She pulled down hard and toppled over backwards as the pot came free. She SHOULD have been embarrassed about this, but she was more relieved that she had been able to remove the pot. How many Gryffindors did it take to replant a Bloody Rose? She was sure there was some sort of punch line waiting to be written for that one.
"Depends which way you look at it..." she answered, trailing off.
Pacifiers for plants... now there was an interesting marketing concept, not that it would work, generally speaking.
"They'll use whatever they can get their teeth on. Be it meat, an object, a fellow plant or your cat... they will find a way to accomplish the task. Meat is usually their first preference, sort of like killing two birds with one stone if you know what I mean." Was one way of putting it. A lot of flesh-eating trees in particular tended to annihilate anything it attempted to teethe on. They were little darlings though, in their own way.
Again, Kurumi tugged, this time finally freeing Xavier's roots.
"You alright?" she asked with a light chuckle as she peered at her
flyingPrefect.
