"We'll be working with mandrakes either later this term or the next... and yes, you should always invest in a good pair of earmuffs when it comes time to repot them. And harvesting them has to be timed carefully with their growth. Good."

"Devil's Snare and Flitterbloom are both plants I actually wish to discuss today." She nodded about three times at the rest of Cela's answer. "And excellent descriptions of the other plants. Mmhm."

And wow that LouAnn sure knew how to ramble. "Uhhhh sure...." she shrugged and agreed with the Gryffindor's rambling, not sure where exactly an answer was in there. "Bubotubers aren't dangerous because they look like slugs though, erm, but thank you for pointing that out?"

Two angry breaths through her nose and Bunbury managed to control her temper with this boy. She still tap-tapped that willow wand in her hand though. She would teach him. she would.

She hem-hemed for a moment. "Let's take Flitterbloom and Devil's Snare for example." Bunbury walked over to her desk and pulled out a cart from behind it to roll between the desks. On the cart was two samples of each plant with a little glass dome over each. Both were docile and calm, dark green masses of tangled vines and tendrils. The one labeled 'B' seemed to have prickly little pines all over its branch-thingies and the one labled 'A' was much smoother and piled more neatly.

"Which is which, and how can you tell?"

LouAnn sat up straight---alert and fully suspicious---when her wand was practically thrashed about so The Bunz could...salute? cast upon?...a Slytherin girl. She eyed the Herbology professor, fully intending to keep watch in case anything happened to her precious phoenix feathered-filled baby. "Excuse me, Professor?" LouAnn said, both her hands waving about in such a manner that one might think her to be flagging someone down. "For curiosities sake, what do you plan on doing with...*point*...that there wanddd?"

While LouAnn waited for an explanation, she fumbled through her textbook in search of any information on a Flitterbloom. With a name like that, though, who needed a proper explanation? A Devil's Snare she knew of, but a Flitterbloom... She frowned when the professor paid more attention to her Jelly Slug comment than she did to the fact that LouAnn had brought up the disgusting ability of bubotubers to cause boils on one's skin. I mean, candy is all fine and dandy, but really...must one overlook the dangerous threat of boils to focus on sugary goodness?

...and there she was...tapping the wand in her hand again. Oh, please be okay, my Willow; Phoenix Feather Core; 10 3/4 inches!!!

She watched with interest as The Bunz brought forth two plants---one Devil's Snare and one Flitterbloom. LouAnn's hand shot into the air. "Well, if you step a little closer to each, the one that snaps ya boots off is the Devil's Snare! The one that doesn't is the Flitterbloom...that's how you can tell which is which!"
