Hi all Herbology students! I'm professor Delacroix, the new teacher in this class. We'll have classes in the greenhouses, and the first years and the seconds years will be together in classes.

Today we'll begin with Mandrakes, which normally is above the average first-year level, but with supervision and as long as everyone help each other out, this will be an interesting class.

Now, the Mandrake root is useful for a whole lot of purposes, which you'll read about in your books. What we're going to do today, is to change pots on the Mandrakes. Now, as the scream of the Mandrakes is very dangerous, you must cover your ears. This is very important! Then you'll take the Mandrake out of the pot, and put it into a new one. Since we want them to grow fast, you'll also put some fertilizer in the pots.

Roll a 100-sided dice. If you get less than 5, you haven't covered your ears properly and faint. To successfully take the plant out of the pot (they're stubborn little creatures!), you need more than 50. In order to put in into a new one, you need more than 80. The first to get more than 90, and do it perfectly, will get five points.

Don't worry if you don't make it at first, you can always try again. We have a lot of plants in here.
