Chocolate Frog Card: (Silver): Pomona Sprout: (b. 15 May, 1931 or 1941) was a witch who worked as Head of Hufflepuff House and Head of the Herbology department at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She attended the school in her youth, where she was Sorted into Hufflepuff House and excelled at Herbology. Some time after her graduation, Sprout returned to Hogwarts to teach.
Challenge: Write about Pomona Sprout.

Pomona Sprout smiled as she watched her last class of the day file in. She loved teaching Herbology and she had a few select students who seemed to be prodigies of the subject. She bit back a smile when she noticed both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom split off from their housemates and sit with people from a different house. She had a feeling that if anyone could bring about the school unity that the sorting hat was always on about it would be Harry and Neville.
She still couldn't really understand how those two ended up in Gryffindor with how loyal they were. She knew that they were brave but she also thought that their loyalty outshown their bravery for the simple fact they were all the time putting others in front of themselves when they should be putting themselves first. She frowned slightly when she noticed the way that Neville kept looking at Harry like he was making sure that the smaller boy way alright.
She sighed as she once again wondered if there was something that she was missing. She knew that to most people it seemed like she lived for her plants but that wasn't the case. She made a mental note to herself as she got her students working on the day's assignment to have Poppy check Harry over. She didn't care if she wasn't Harry's head of house because one way or another the boy would be getting a thorough checkup from Poppy if she had anything to say about it and if she was honest with herself she would make sure that she had a lot to say about it.
After all she was the head of house for Hufflepuff so she had a vast amount of loyalty herself. If she was loyal to anyone or anything more than her own beliefs and values it was her students. She wouldn't stand idly by if one of her students were being hurt whether that be physically, mentally, or emotionally. She would make sure that her honorary badger was in the best of health and she would do it today.
She walked around the greenhouse checking on all of her students to make sure that they weren't having any trouble. She smiled slightly at Harry and Neville who were both helping their partners out. Yes, she couldn't be any prouder than those two than she currently was. It was students like them that made her enjoy teaching all the more.
