“Right, straight to it. Today we’ll be looking at Fanged Geraniums. Feisty bastards,” she said with a tense smile. SHe still hadn’t quite forgiven this crop for ruining the sleeves one of her favorite shirts yet. “Quite similar to the muggle “Cranesbills”, which share the same scientific family “Geranium”, but not much else. Most notable differences being the fanged geranium has fangs and a tendency to bite. Watch your fingers,” Trina said, beckoning the students closer to the group of fanged geraniums settled on the table.
“The fangs are used in potion-making, useful for strength potions, or even culinarily. Adds some extra bite,” she said with a dry, if bitter, laugh. “Come on and take a look, but be mindful of your hands. They’re relatively easy to care for, minus the teeth, of course, just I suggest you employ an immobilizing charm if you intend on harvesting anything. Though if one does get its teeth in you, some dittany or quick healing charm should do the trick.
“That’s all I’ve got for you today, though I'm willing to give extra credit to anyone who can find a recipe that uses fanged geranium fangs,” she said, dismissing the class with a lazy wave. “Feel free to check up on your screechsnaps or if you want to try your luck watering one of the geraniums, the dittany’s over here.”

RP the lesson and have your student interact with a geranium if they’re feeling brave. Extra credit for describing any recipe that might use the fangs*
