Kalif walked into class, his black robes traveling behind him. He noticed that he was at least ten minutes late. Kalif said in a cold, crisp voice, “I apologize for my absence and tardiness. I was getting the greenhouse for dangerous plants ready. We are taking a trip out there, and you will see both the Devil’s Snare and the new plant we are learning about today. The name of it is the Snargaluff.”

Kalif walked to his usual position in the front of the classroom. “Before we go out there, we are planting the Screechsnap. All you have to do is put those seeds into a pot and make sure you don’t give them too much fertilizer, or else they will squeak and writhe. Now, that is all you do, and it is an easy task at hand.”

Once everyone was done, he ordered, “Now, we are heading to the Dangerous Plants Greenhouse. Just so everyone here knows, the dangerous plants are behind a screen, so they won’t be able to harm or kill you. However, do not antagonize them either. I am not sure how strong they are, nor how strong the screens are as well.” Kalif thought darkly on how tragic it would be if the screen didn’t hold up. His expression remained emotionless.

Kalif then walked toward the greenhouse doors, and motioned, “Follow me, if you will.” He led the way to the Dangerous Plants Greenhouse. He opened the door and continued to walk in. The Dangerous Plants Greenhouse contained of a long, wide aisle and on both sides were screens, and a screen inside the areas separated the plants. Some areas were empty, while the others were filled with bizarre plants. Kalif walked to one of the areas and said, “This is the Devil’s Snare.” Inside that area, was a dark, barely lit room. The screens around it were black, not letting any sunlight inside. It was hard to see the plant itself, without looking extremely hard.

Kalif then walked to the end of the greenhouse, and revealed what looked like a dead tree stump. Kalif folded his arms over his chest and informed, “It may not look dangerous, but this is a Snargaluff. It is a man-eating, carnivorous plant. Once approached, it will shoot out spiny vines, in attempt to catch its prey. However, once the vines shoot out, there are green pods, about the size of a grapefruit, that some herbologists harvest. Normally, I would ask you to harvest them. However, seeing how dangerous this plant is, I won’t be asking you to do such a task.”

Kalif turned his gaze back to the Snargaluff. It then reached out one of its spiny vines and it hit the screen. Kalif smirked a bit, seeing that the screen was strong enough for the blast. He continued to watch it, as the vine retreated. He thought that it would try to attack again, but it didn’t. Kalif turned back to the class, “The lesson is over. There is no written homework tonight. However, keep in mind what I told you about both the Screechsnap and the Snargaluff. They may be on your exam.” Kalif watched the class leave the greenhouse.

He walked out and closed the doors behind them. He locked it magically, that even an Alohomora wouldn’t work on it. He didn’t want any children going in, and getting harmed by the plants inside the greenhouse. It would harm his reputation and may even blow his cover, if he wasn’t careful.

Homework: RP the lesson for full credit. Make it creative to your characters reaction to the dangerous plants.
