Sixth Years, Week Three [Snargaluffs]

Wendall wasn't particularly keen on getting himself caught up in his work again this week, and had spent some time readjusting things in the greenhouse, so that anything with long legs or vines wouldn't be as tempted to grab him (or his students). "Please don't touch anything you don't know what it is," he warned his students as he unlocked the Greenhouse once more. It was still as dark in here as it was last week, but now small candles were illuminating the pathway, making it easier and prettier in here and let them see what was going on.

"Today I want to introduce you to the Snargaluff, because this will be on your tests." The perk of knowing what was coming up in their exams meant Wendall could practically tell them the answers, as long as they were listening. The plant Wendall stopped in front of just looked like a dead tree stump, but looks could be deceiving. "The Snargaluff is a carnivorous plant, known for being a man-eater," Wendall didn't want to become a meal. "It's an ambush predator I think it's called. Once its victim gets too close, it will send out spiny vines to ensnare it," not unlike Wendall on the floor last week.

"Snargaluff pods are annoying quite useful which means sometimes we will need to grab some." It wasn't usually the best idea to do that on your own, either. Wendall used his wand to raise a small branch into the enclosure, where the Snargaluff pod was quick to grab it with its vines, snapping it immediately. "Imagine what that could do to your finger in the wrong place," Wendall had only broken one bone in his body before and he had no plans on adding to that list. "But if you look closely, you can see the pods, too," Wendall gingerly pointed in the plants direction. "They look like big green grapefruits," it was easier to find them once you knew what to look for. "Alright, feel free to keep looking, but I don't want anyone sticking anything into this enclosure that shouldn't be in there," Wendall said, before dismissing the class.

[Alana Cosgrove]

Alana was hoping Professor Layton wouldn’t fall during their latest lesson. He instructed them not to touch anything they weren’t familiar with and hoped he would follow his own advice and not have any further accidents. She listened to Professor Layton as he told them about Snargaluffs, and specifically Snargaluff pods. She looked closely at the pods when the professor pointed them out, wondering if they would get to do anything with them. Once the lesson was over, Alana grabbed her things and left the greenhouse.

 

[Magne Kleos]

Magne walked into the herbology greenhouse but they weren't in the usual place, instead they were brought to a quieter part of the greenhouse and shown a snargaluff. He took some notes from what the professor was telling them about it. He had to admit it didn't look that dangerous, but he showed them how it could be and Magne knew to always believe his professors. Eventually the lesson was wrapped up and he headed out of the room.

 

[Sofi Ayre]

Sofi had been absolutely mortified after the last lesson that she didn't really want to come to the next Herbology lesson. She instantly tensed up when Professor Layton introduced them to a man eating plant. Sofi could hardly look at it, even when told to look for the pods, and certainly didn't get close enough to think about touching it. She was relieved to get out of there when the lesson ended.
