Herbology Exam

Name: Mania Athanasiou
House: Gryffindor

Herbology Examination

1. What did we plant at the beginning of the year? Mandrakes, quite grumpy ones at that. Or at least mine was.
2. How do you take proper care of Mandrakes? Um well you make sure to keep their soil damp, also make sure they get some sunlight and shade aand don't forget to feed them. Would hate for them to get hangry as well... Plus nobody likes starving so you know common decency. OH ALSO REPOTTING IS PROBABLY SMART!! I'd like to believe you'd hate to wear the same clothes you did as an infant all throughout your life, probably outgrowing them pretty early on, but that's just me.
3. List the stages of the Mandrake. Infancy, Toddler, Childhood, Pubescence.
4. What are the characteristics of said stages? Well Childhood they are very playful and giggle a lot, it's kinda creepy if you ask me. Like mine just giggled and giggled I kind of regretted naming it after my sister. In Pubescene they become moody (back to resembling my sister it went) and their leaves start to thicken. They also start to get acne, just like us humans I suppose.
5. What are the differences between the male and female Mandrakes? Females have clearer skin than males and females are huge on gossip, not gonna lie that tracks. Have you ever seen teenage girls? Yeah they LOOOOVE gossip, my older sister is a great example!
6. What did we go out and watch the Mandrakes do at night? Watch them have a good old party, kind of a creepy thing again. Actually, why do we stalk these roots like creeps while they party? I mean it was cool and all but I feel like we are kind of you know getting all up in their biz for no reason?
7. Once a Mandrake is fully matured, what can their scream do? Kill, just like the sounds my sisters make.
8. How are Mandrakes useful in the Wizarding society? They have healing properties.
9. Where did we send the Mandrakes after we raised them? St. Mungo's, I'm still upset about it... If you look close enough you'll see tear stains on this parchment just from the fact I had to think about sending Gai off. I'm now off to apologize to my sister and swear to her I'll never send her off anywhere....

Rest of the year is loading.....
