Today is Brittany birthday, in the real world, and I forgot to celebrate it, in the fictional world, so it'll be a day late.

Brittany ate more toast as Professor McGonagall passed out the schedules.

"Oh Brittany, here's your present, Happy slightly late Birthday, I may have forgotten with all the stuff happening yesterday."

Hermione passed Brittany a package and smiled.

"Thats totally fine, I forgot about it as well."

Brittany laughed. Hermione smiled more.

"I owl ordered it, but, seeing as I couldn't owl order it before leaving the Dursley's, its not here yet...."

Harry nervously laughed.

"That's ok. Its fine. Really. I don't even care about this type of stuff."

Brittany smiled. It was the fact that she even had friends that mattered.

"Double Herbology. With Hufflepuffs, too."

Brittany said as she looked at the schedule that McGonagall had just given her. The four of them walked to the green house, and Hermione was perfectly friendly, the howler obviously worked. Professor Sprout was had her hands full of bandages, Brittany saw the whomping willow full of slings, and Lockhart looked like an ocean of turquoise.

"Yuck, I forgot my quill, and uh, I don't want to-"

"Oh come on!"

Hermione pulled Brittany to the green house as Lockhart started talking.

"Oh hello there! Just showing Professor Sprout the right way to Doctor a Whomping Willow! No don't you worry, Professor Sprout is still better at Herbology! I've just met a few willows on my travels!"

"Green house three today!"

Professor Sprout looked annoyed. As they entered the green house, Lockhart pulled Harry away.

"Thats not going to end well."

Brittany said as the door closed shut. A few minutes later Harry walked in, looking flustered.

"Now, we'll be repotting Mandrakes today. Can anyone tell me what the properties of a mandrake are?"

Hermione was the first to raise her hand, no surprise.

"Mandrake, or Mandragora, has the properties to restore."

"Good, ten points to Gryffindor. Can anyone tell me why its dangerous?"

Hermione raised her hand again.

"Its cry is fatal to anyone who hears it."

"Exactly. Take another ten points. Now, these mandrakes are very young, they should only knock you out for a few hours."

Sprout explained more stuff about mandrakes. I'll continue next chapter, I think I forgot some Charms homework that is due tomorrow.
