After shouting at Puffles for the last time Ness entered the greenhouse, in hope her little pygmy puff would go back to the library. He didn't though and Ness was unaware of this now, because her eyes were fixed onto the plant and everything else that was happening.
In the plants hands were mandrakes which out of instinct made Nessie cover her ears. After a few moments she realised this wasn't necessary seeing as there was no noise coming out of them. Someone must have silenced them.
"Um..I'm guessing I missed a lot." She eyed Professor Bentley as the herbologist started shouting at everyone to step away. The red head followed these instructions and kept her distance.
As for Puffles he wasn't aware of this Professor speaking. He neared just a little closer to the plant. Staring at it in amazement.
STARRREEE!! IT HAD GROWN SO BIG SINCE THE LIBRARY!
He wanted to grow like that! "MEEP! MEEP!" The pygmy puff jumped up and down trying to communicate with this plant. Maybe you just had to be nice to it, maybe it was eating these people because they were all shouting at it. "MEEEP!" HAAII PLANTY!! Bounce! Bounce!
Oh goody, more students to fill the void.
"You and I both," she mused, still not sure how all this had happened in such a short time.

Now with little Elise in her arms, she turned around and saw...Dylan dragging Oakey? Ooooooooooooookay... that was a rather amusing sight to be sure, but her attention was soon back on Selina. "Behind some fertilizer?" Maybe the smell would wake her up. Might not be such a bad idea.
However, the Gryffindor hardly had any time to react before someone else joined the group.
PROFESSOR BENTLEY!!
Who did not seem pleased at all about what was going on right now.
"Professor Bentley!" Kurumi said as she sort of ran over to the woman, still with the unconscious Elise in her arms. Oh, Milton was out too. UG...she was going to get an earful from him when this was all over. She could just feel it. "Do you have something that can wake her? She got knocked out from the baby mandrakes that were uprooted. I silenced them for now..." But those should probably be taken care of because they were sort of creepy just lying there on the ground crying with no sound coming out.
And then Kurumi heard a squeaking noise and she turned her head when...OMGWHATWASPUFFLESDOINGHERE?! "Nessie! Grab your pygmy puff before it gets grabbed too!"
In all honesty... a fainter was the least of her problems at this point. There really wasn't anything that could be done.
"Have you tried enervate?" she asked offhandedly, eyes still firmly fixed on the plant.
They needed to stop it... she understood that, but she also wanted to keep it. Perhaps, if she took a cutting, she could... save it for later.
With a few sneaky motions, she severed a chunk off the plant, a shorter tendril straight from the base.. it'd root easily enough.. and summoned it into her waiting hand.
Success.
"Alright, now everyone, we need to focus our efforts!... Grab Milton! Shooting spells at it won't help anyone at the this point. Minerva, Ethan... throw meat at it!" She instructed. Sure it wasn't premium dragon steak, but it was something, surely the blood would be appreciated. No?
