Madelyn Potter WTMs 𝙲

2.11| Mandrakes; Ron and Skylers Howler

[The next day, the second year students are in the Herbology greenhouses as Professor Sprout enters.]
Professor Sprout: Morning, everyone. [taps the stand to get everyone's attention] Good morning, everyone.
Students: Good morning, Professor Sprout.
Prof Sprout: Welcome to greenhouse three second years, gather round everyone. Today we are going to repot mandrakes, [grabs a mandrake pot] who here can tell me the properties of mandrakes roots? [Hermione puts up her hand] yes Ms. Granger.

Hermione: Mandrak or mandagora is used to return those who have been petrified to their original state. It's also quite dangerous, the mandrakes cries fatal to anyone who hears it.
Prof Sprout: excellent 10 points to Gryffindor. Now as our mandrakes are only seedlings their cries won't kill you yet, but can knock you out for several hours which is why I've given you each a pair of earmuffs.

Madelyn quickly conjures some earmuffs for everyone as she remembers how painful the cries are.

Prof Sprout: so could you please put them on? Quickly now. Flaps tight down. Now watch me closely, you grasp your mandrake firmly you pull it sharply out of the pot. [the Mandrake screams and everyone winces and groans] got it? And now, you dunk it into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm.

[Neville faints]

Prof Sprout: Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs.
Seamus: No Ma'am he just fainted.
Prof Sprout: yes, well, just leave him there. Right on we go. Plenty of pots to go around. Grab your mandrake and pull it straight out.

[everyone pulls them out and grimace, Draco thinks he's funny and puts his finger near the mandrakes mouth who bites it, Malfoy struggles to get his finger loose before he dumps the mandrake into the new pot]

A few people laugh at Malfoy's misfortune.

[Maddie, Ron and Hermione are now sat at Gryffindor table, Skyler comes into the great hall looking rather depressed, he takes a seat next to Maddie]

Madelyn: what's got your wand in a knot?
Skyler: it doesn't matter.
[Ron is trying to fix his wand with sellotape]

Ron: say it. I'm doomed.
Madelyn & Skyler: your doomed [a light of a camera flashes in front of Maddie and Sky, a small boy in Gryffindor uniform stood in front of them holding a muggle camera]

Madelyn sighs sadly when Collin appears.

Collin: hi Madelyn! I'm Collin, Collin Creevy I'm in Gryffindor too!
Madelyn: hi Collin nice to meet you

[an owl screeches].
Dean: Ron, Sky isn't that your owl? [Erroll crashes making on lookers laugh]
Ron: bloody birds a menace. Uh oh.
Seamus: look everyone! Weasleys got himself a howler! [more people laugh]
Neville: go on Ron. I got one from my Gran once. It was horrible.
Skyler: Mum is not happy. I just got one myself.

[Ron shakily opens his]

Mrs Weasley: RONALD WEASLEY. HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED. YOUR FATHER IS NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK AND ITS ENTIRELY YOURS AND SKYLER'S FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT HOME! Oh and Ginny dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor, your father and I are so proud. [everyone looks at Ginny who looks down in embarrassment, the letter blow's raspberry and rips itself up, everyone is shocked, the golden quarter all stare at each other breathing heavily, (Maddie, Sky, Hermione & Ron)

"Well... that was entertaining!" Said Sirius laughing, a few others also laugh as Ginny and Ron turn red as they are embarrassed again.
