Dahlia smiled as she noticed onyx and noir laying on top of the greenhouse, she knew both dragons found it beyond insulting that the riders chose a car over them to fly, Dahlia was thankfully spared the burnt of their anger. " Morning, everyone" Professor sprout greets as she enters the greenhouse "good morning professor sprout" The children chorused " Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Now, gather around, everyone, Today, we're going to repot Mandrakes. Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" Professor sprout asked. Hermione and Neville raised their hands "yes, Mr. longbottom" Professor sprout called "the main value in the mandrake root is to help those that have been petrified through a potion. However, you must use caution, teenaged mandrake can cause you to faint from their screams, an adult's screams are fatal" Neville explained shyly "Excellent, ten points to Gryffindor! Now, as our Mandrakes are still only seedlings, their cries won't kill you yet, but they could knock you out for several hours, which is why I've given each of you a pair of earmuffs for auditory protection, so if you could please put them on right away." Professor sprout instructed

"He's just like you, Alice. You were always the best at Herbology" Lily commented, Neville's beamed as he looked towards his mum, his gran regaled him with stories of his dad's accomplishments but she rarely mentioned his mom.

"Quickly, flaps tight down. Now, watch me closely. You grasp your Mandrake firmly, you pull it sharply up out of the pot. Got it? And now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm." professor sprout demonstrated as she pulled a baby root out of the plant. "Right, on we go. Plenty of pots to go around. Grasp your Mandrake and pull it up." Dahlia and the others each pulled their mandrakes up, the dragons soared from the building towards the farthest tower, neither wanted to go deaf.

{Scene changes to show the group at the Gryffindor table}


" Say it, I'm doomed" Ron said in dispair as he tapped his broken wand together "you're doomed" Daphne said, she felt bad for the red head, a camera flashed, startling the group before they turned to look at the excited Gryffindor " Hi Harry, Dahlia! I'm Colin Creevey! I'm in Gryffindor too!" Colin rambled, he couldn't believe he was meeting famous people.

Dahlia looked sadly at the screen, she felt guilty about what had happened to the creepy brothers, she missed the wide eyed excitement that seemed to follow them around, perhaps, this time it will be different

"Hi Colin, nice to meet you." The twins chorused, Dahlia wanted to awe as she looked at the little lion, onyx looked up from his arms, roaring slightly as he smelt someone new close to his rider "isn't that your owl ron? " dean asked, the group turned to look as Errol haphazardly flew towards their table, crashing into one of the plates near ron

"That bird's still around?!, Molly you gotta retire him, he can barely hold himself up right" Fabian said in shock, that had been their mother's owl and they saw it frequently over the years.

"Bloody bird's a menace, Oh, no!" Ron exclaimed, paling as he looked at the red envelope, he hoped that it wasn't for him but knew it was, "Look everyone, Weasley's got himself a Howler" Seamus said, draggings everyone's attention to the red head looking horrified at his letter.  "RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! YOUR FATHER'S NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR 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." Molly yelled, speaking softly to her daughter before sticking it's tongue out at Ron. Fred, George and Ginny looked anywhere but their brother as second hand embarrassment Chorused through them, Percy's face reddened as he purposely lifted his book higher

"Did you have to do that Molly? Look at them the other's are embarrassed as well and it didn't even mention three of them" Fabian asked, he hated the look that showed through his nieces and nephews, he especially hated howlers, Molly looked down, ...

"Did you have to do that Molly? Look at them the other's are embarrassed as well and it didn't even mention three of them" Fabian asked, he hated the look that showed through his nieces and nephews, he especially hated howlers, Molly looked down, she hate the embarrassment she caused her kids, she remembered how much she had hated her mother's howlers, had she become more like her mother than she had wished.
