Vera had filed in with all the others, finding herself a spot beside Desiree. She wasn't feeling much like class today, so she'd snuck in pretty quietly with the others, but considering the lesson was in a restricted area, how could she have actually skipped out? She listened as students listed dangerous plants, trying to come up with another one. Mandrake was the first thing that popped into her head, but the poor coughing student had already gotten that one.

Reaching into her bag, Vera pulled out an unopened water bottle before reaching over and tapping the first year on the shoulder - Phoebe - and offering it to her without a word. She then raised her hand. "The Devil's Snare is dangerous too. If you get caught in it, any movement can make it try to strangle you even faster. It doesn't like sunlight though so that's a good way to get rid of it if you can access your wand." You know, before death.
