Aha! Hairy too, huh? Adi nodded happily at the Headmistress. She certainly gave him a bit more of an idea to the feel of the plant. He bounded back towards his seat to make more notes. Wheee! He was LOVING this lesson! He looked up from his notes taking to take a pair of earmuffs that were handed to him. They had Big Bird's head sticking out of them. COOL! Big Bird was nice... and yellow like all things Hufflepuff. Hehe.

Okay, soooooo properties of the magical mandrakes. The Puffer raised a hand. "We can expect the mandrakes to be screaming and crying but we shouldn't be able to hear them because of these.'' He held up his earmuff. "That's a good thing because their cries are dangerous but only if they are fully grown.'' Adi didn't state what happened to persons who heard the younger mandrakes' cries on purpose. He would leave that for someone else.
