Default Herbology Lesson One

Professor Phoenix opened the greenhouses with a tired expression on her face. She nodded at the students shortly before disappearing to the back to prepare whatever plants they were going to discuss.

:: "Professor? Are they edible? Are they venemous?" Ganymede asks getting worried. She wondered if people could keep them as a pet or if they eat them in weird salads. It was more interesting than a daisy, but a bit scary. ::

"How do the plants eat, Professor? Do they 'hunt' down their food or are they like the Venus flytrap, waiting until the prey comes to them?"

:: Lauren looked confussed, as usual, at the plant. She rased her hand to ask a question of her own. " Proffessor, why does the plant have to hide in those leaves. Is it for prtection or is it for to fool small creatures that it eats? Or maybe for some other reason." she said as she waited for the Professor to answer her question.::
"I believe," Nadia told Lauren, "that the leaves are its, but being the end ofthe summer, near fall, the leaves gets yellowish." She turned to Professor Phoenix. "Correct me if I am wrong... I think the reason it make this plant especial is that, first, it moves by its own, alike those carnivorous plants, and second, its roots aren't glued to the floor or has no roots at all, like moss... together, it makes this plant be the only one able to move in search for its food, alike an animal. However, it still does Photosyntesis, right?"

Lee continued taking down his notes, he was impressed by his fellow classmates knowledge and he hoped soon that he would have that same knowledge also. He looked through his textbooks but cxouldn't find any iformation on the plant that hadn't already been said.

"Yes, the most apparent thing, is the way the Dransul has a mind of its own. This is rare, even among magical plants. As for healing properties, there are none, and there also are no potions that, to my knowledge, make use of the Dransul in any way. And... I'd not really try eating it either.

"As for light, it is not really a problem for Dransuls, but we'll get back to that later. We'll also look more closely at the leaves and photosynthesis in a bit.

"Well," Professor Phoenix said, putting the Dransul back into its cage, "we all know that plants need certain key ingredients for growth. For one, there is light, then there is carbon dioxide as well as water, usually absorbed through the air and soil. And this is the pivotal point: It is very rare—except for plants that grow in water—for a plant to grow without being directly in contact with soil, usually through their roots. The Dransul is mobile and does not depend on this contact to gather water and other minerals for its growth."


Professor Phoenix paused. "So this is maybe the most unusual thing about Dransuls: Their mobility. Now...further theories?"

:: Lauren still a little confussed at Nadia's answer. She looked up at the proffessor, with that confussed look on her face. She dropped her head to her book and looked back at the Dransula. Still with that confussed look.::

Birdy raised her hand timidly; this was her first Herbology class even though she was a third-year student.
"Maybe," she began slowly, "The Dransul can move because it can get nutrients form other organisims and isn't dependent on the soil for food. Like you said, it eats small animals like mice, so it's carnivorous. Unless it can also eat vegitation along with its diet of meat...then it would be an omnivore," she paused, finger to her lip, pleased with her stab at the question.

Cool

Serena raised her hand, "Because the Dransul doesn't have a root system, they would have to get water another way. I suppose since they have a mouth to eat, they could drink as well. I was wondering, if they don't drink water, can they absorb moisture through their leaves like other plants, or do they get the moisture they need from their prey?"

Lee copied down the new notes then raised his hand

i know the dransuls is said to be a magical plant, but in some ways its liek a magical creature, so what would the proper title be to call the dransuls, if it isnt a definite plant or animal?

"I am guessing it is not an animal only because it uses Photosyntesis. The Horklump looks more like a plant than the Dransul, yet the reason is it classified an animal is, again, the use of Photosyntesis most surely. The horklupms don't use it."

Noticing Lauren's confusion, Nadia rubbed the back of her head trying be plainer. "The Dransul is a plant, no matter how animal it looks or acts. The Dransuls naturally looks like dead leaves glued together, so it's not really hidding, it's just... like that."

She finished hoping she had made more sense now, then addressed the professor, "It eats full mice, that's another unnusual characteristic, meaning that other plants do eat up beasts but usually those being only insects or worms, but never actually meat. Carnivourous, as a characteristic in other plants, is more a 'figure of speech' than a fact. I would dare say that the Dransul is the only beast to eat, uh, this much."

After jotting down all the key concepts explained so far, Natalya chews on the end of her quill in boredom. She begins to regret having to take this class. "To what purposes does the Dransul serve, Professor Phoenix? Since it's not used as an ingredient in potions, has no healing properties, and is definitely not an edible plant, do we actually have any use for it?" she asks, raising her hand.

*she raises her hand in curiosity* well, this is kindof a silly qestion, but, since it can't be used in potions, is not edible, could it be used in a household? like, i dont know, picking up socks, or is its main use like a cat? to catch mice?

"That's true! To catch mice it would be so useful!" Nat adds after hearing a girl's question. "I hadn't thought of that."

Emil had no new theories that he can think off at the moment other than what he had given awhile back, so he decided to write everything that is being currently discussed, and looked carefully at the Dransul, studying its every move and form, hoping that something would pop-up in his head that would be worth-noting for in the class.

'can it see as well?' Rosa asked. 'or hear?' she looked at the dransul. from her place in the back she couldn't see eyes, but maybe they were hidden under some leaves. 'and can it taste or smell?' she asked curiously

Francis listens attentively at some of the different theories. Wondering what the answer is, she looks up at the Professor and waits.
