"What do you all think of when I say animated plants? Plants with personality? Let's discuss!"
Already, Kiri wasn't really sure she had anything else to contribute. Most of her classmates had been quicker, apparently, and just rehashing what they'd said? No. This was going to be... metaphysical. She raised her hand.
"Well, if you merely mean that plants are move, then that's true of all plants, not just, er, Devil's Snare or other magical ones. A tree grows, a flower responds to the light of the sun, but they're just too slow for us to notice. If you record them with a Muggle camera though and speed the, er, footage up, then plants sort of look just like animals."
She gave a small shrug. "Of course, some of the more magical plants certainly look as if they're more... self-aware."
