What did you make of today's Herbology lesson?

Some of those plants sounded right fiddly to keep alive.

It's funny; I've always felt a bit guilty that I'm not more into Herbology, since Professor Sprout's my Head of House and all.

I've always been more of a Creatures girl, I guess.

I LOVED it. But I that's the kind of challenge I like: taking care of something that doesn't bite you (well, to be fair, except for venomous tentacula, I guess).

I must say that I preferred the way that Professor Brutka taught Care of Magical Creatures to the way Professor Grubbly-Plank does it...but I can hardly complain, since I REALLY prefer the way he teaches Transfiguration to the way Professor Carrow taught it. I'm so glad he's gone. Professor Carrow, I mean. I don't think I ever met anyone as him so badly suited to teaching. Or anything else to do with people, really.

One thing I learned about the Puffapods we were working with last week: they like really acid soil. I think the stuff she was handing last week didn't have quite the right pH.
