IT WAS THE FIRST day of second year for Lillian and she was excited. She had already received her schedule for the year by Professor Sprout, and was told by the professor that she was very excited for her to be in the class.

Professor Sprout was in charge of Herbology and students weren't allowed to take it until their second year. Lillian was ecstatic to be taking Herbology and was hoping to do her best as the second year started.

Lillian was starting her class with Herbology and was sitting next to Hermione and Hannah as they all waited for class to start.

"Morning everyone!" Professor Sprout said as she entered the room happily.

"Good morning everyone!" She said again hitting a pan to get their attention.

"Good morning Professor Sprout." Everyone said and Professor Sprout smiled at their greeting.

"Welcome to greenhouse 3 , second years. Gather around, everyone. Today we are going to re-pot mandrakes." Professor sprout lifted a pot and placed it in front of her "Now who here can tell me the properties of the mandrake root?"

Hermione's and Lillian's hands flew up immediately and both smiled at each other.

"Yes Miss Granger?"  Professor Sprout asked.

"Mandrake, or mandragora is used to return those who have been petrified to their original state." Hermione explained,

"Very good does anyone know the cons to this?" Professor Sprout asked once again.

Lillian raises her hand and Professor Sprout looked at Lillian and chose her.

"Miss Potter?" Professor Sprout Asked

"It's dangerous because the Mandrake's cry are fatal to anyone who hears it." Lillian explained.

"Excellent ten points to Hufflepuff. As our Mandrakes are still only seedling their cries wont kill you yet." She explained."But they could knock you out for hours which is why I have given you a pair of ear muffs for auditory protections. So please put them on."

Newt looked at Lillian and hid deep into her coat and covered his ear. Lillian pulled a little cotton from the earmuff and handed some to Newt.

"Watch me closely. You grasp your mandrake firmly you pull it sharply out of the pot." She said and yanked the mandrake out but even with earmuffs it could hurt your ears. "Got it? And now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm."
