I have just wet myself'' he whispered to the student sitting next to him and laughed.

One he was still again he stood up when Professor Bunbury has asked for someone with nerve ''I can try Professor'' he jumped on his feet quickly ''I'd love to make the Devil's Snare, Devil's Whine. What do you think?''

Bunbury tsk-tsked under her breath but calmly beckoned the Gryffindor closer to the giant plant. So he thought he could dance... er... fend off Devil's Snare, did he?

"You'll be first," she nodded at the boy. "But remember, with your class as your witness, I EDUCATED all of you on the potential pitfalls of what happens when you don't respect plants. I warned you, Mr. Carter."

She flicked an invisible speck of dust off her robes and gestured toward the springy plant with her ~~stolen~~ borrowed student wand. "Do not sit on it, do not bite it, do not fight it. You may stick your arm out and flail it about, just to see how the plant reacts, but only your arm. NOTHING FURTHER, do you understand?"

Bunz was not that confident in her students that a repeat of that demonic detention wouldn't occur. She was playing it safe. For now.

'I'd rather have a million detentions, lose all the house points, actually be in the same room as my parents...than to touch that plant. Or come into five feet of it.' she thought, wringing her hands together slightly.

Did the professor say she had an even bigger snare? Where?! The color drained from Evelyn's face when the professor started walking towards the back of the room. Where she was. To the corner. Where she was. Walking towards a plant, that was right next to her! "That...that...that..." stuttering and pointing to the large plant she was practically almost sittING ON (though it was more like twenty feet away), Evelyn jumped up again and moved hurriedly towards the front of the room. 'I was that close. I could've been killed.' Breathing in deeply, and almost hyperventilating, 'Yea, way to be strong Ev.' she leaned back on a desk and tried to keep herself normal looking as possible. 'Pfft, like that was working.'

"That that that is called Devil's Snare," Bunz calmly glanced over her shoulder and blinked at the Slytherin. "Have you had a bad experience with this plant in the past, dear?"

Maybe she could swap stories with Jake.

As the woman led the way to the back of the greenhouse, Jake froze, hovering somewhere between the odd Jake and the normalish Jake, before following on. He stopped by the tub of wands for a few seconds before plunging his hand in and grabbing hold of his own wand (because you just KNOW which one is yours) and shoving it back into his pocket, keeping one hand on it.

Pushing his way to the front, Jake stood quietly and stared at the plant, starting to shake a little. He made up his mind... if that thing came ANYWHERE near him, he'd blast it to Nuremburg.

And speak of the devil... out of the corner of her eye, Bunbury saw Jake make a movement toward the tub of wands.

"NO YEH DON'T!" she shouted, casting a nonverbal disarming spell at the Hufflepuff. The wand zoomed out of his hand and Anastasia caught it neatly with her left. Ha. TAKE THAT. She was so proud of herself for noticing.

Cleaning her glasses and throwing them quickly on her face, Destiny realized this was no joke. 'Umm, professsssooooor? I don't wanna touch it!' There. She had told her.

Looking over to Evelyn, who seemed to be playing musical chairs, Destiny gave her a small smile. She looked more scared than herself.
See!? Destiny wasn't crazy. This plant was scary!

She wanted her wand back!

"That's quite all right," Bunz breathed through her nose, resisting the urge to roll her eyes yet again. "I only want you all to observe, see."

"Hmm...." Bunbury drawled, flicking her eyes to Herminny and then back to the plant. Wasn't it nice that the girl thought she would save her? Aww. A vote of confidence for Annie.

"We'll see, Herminny."

So Tavelon followed professor Bunbury. "Professor, erm, not to prolong the point, but Devil's Snare should be somewhat dangerous because of it's reputation. I read someone was found strangled while they were sleeping or something. Which would also mean that they don't eat people... Right?" Carnivorous plants... ehh.... "And even if it was for social darwinism, don't you think he plant should have some benefit provided to itself?" He paused, realizing how much talking he was doing. Yep, Tavelon was full of questions today. Too bad 'Philosopher' wasn't a paying job.

Oh geeeee it was only a matter of time before someone brought up Broderick Bode. "Well that was a bit of a freak occurance and really, it was a murder caused by a human, not the plant," the professor explained as if she was discussing the weather. "The Snare had been disguised and charmed to fool the Healers at St. Mungo's into thinking it was harmless Flitterbloom." She shrugged. "Human error there, see, not the plant's fault."

And it still had such a bad reputation after all that.

Plus, no matter how heartless Bunz SEEMED to be, did they REALLY think she would just let the plant strangle them to death? Of course not! She was a professor! It was part of her job description to protect her students.

"Come on guys, Bunbury won't let the thing kill us," he said to the people sitting around him before standing up and heading to the corner where she stood.

Once they were done with this lesson, Jack would be able to tell everyone that he had tackled and survived a Devil's Snare...he'd be SO COOL!

Erm... right she wouldn't. Bunz flashed the Gryffindor captain a rare grin and turned back to the plant.

"Precisely. Besides, it's not as if I trust you all to say, take a nap on the plant... no no... we won't be touching it thaaat much....."

No thanks!"

Her grin qucikly faded into a scowl as that filthy Hufflepuff girl spoke up. "EXCUSE YOU, young lady. While you are entitled to an opinion regarding my teaching methods and my plants, I do NOT have to listen to it. If you don't want to participate in the lesson then return to your seat or leave."

And she didn't bother to comment on the werewolf thing because quite frankly, Bunz agreed.
