"Ok first of all, we are going to have a quick review of the main points covered in the recent classes." he then paused to think of a recent class to ask about. He drummed his fingers ont he table and then got one. "Ok well, who can tell me a difference between Flitterbloom and Devil's Snare?" he asked the room at large.
Kiri nodded. "Alright. I'll see if I can help anyone..." She wasn't too sure that she would. The study sessions were mostly meant for the older students, if she remembered correctly. To help them prepare for their OWL or NEWT exams. Of course, as a fourth-year, Kiri was not sitting either of those, so she had no real reason to be here. But just getting up and disappearing behind the rows of books again seemed silly. Besides, there was always the outside chance of someone needing the kind of help she could provide.
She sat by idly as a few other people wandered in, then turned to listen to the Gryffindor begin the study session. No one seemed inclined to answer his first question, however. Where were the NEWT Herbology students?
She clicked her fingernails on the table a few times. "I can give it a go, Chris?" she offered. "Devil's Snare and Flitterbloom are two magical plants. They both have long, er, kind of tentacle-like... arms. Actually, they look pretty similar overall, so I guess they're related? Anyway, the difference gets, er, obvious if you touch them. Flitterbloom is harmless, but Devil's Snare will try to strangle you, especially if you struggle. You can..."
Kiri broke off and shuffled through her parchments. "Sorry about this," she mumbled, trying frantically to find the notes she'd made during the Herbology lesson. At last, she found them. With difficulty, she pulled them out of the heap, which was now spread all over the table. "Here we go," she said. "Um, Devil's Snare does not like light, though, so if you manage to summon fire or something like that, you can drive it off. Or if you... uh, if you just hold still, it won't strangle you as quickly."
