Chapter 12: Mandrakes (This chapter dedicated to Elithraniel)
What's that tapping when I'm talking to my friends? Oh No! Voldermorts trying to contact me with morse code! I'm sure of it!
"Good morning, everyone." Oh. Professor Sprout...I knew that.
"Good morning, Professor Sprout." everyone chorused around me.
"Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Now gather around, everyone. Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes." Mandrakes? So I get to stuff Draco into a pot? Sounds like fun! "Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" Root? When did he get a root? Why's Hermione holding up her hand? What does she know? "Yes, Miss Granger?"
"Mandrake, or Mandragora is used to return those who have been Petrified to their original state. It's also quite dangerous. The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it" Wow. Hermione knows a little bit more than me. But how can a cry be fatal?
"Excellent. Ten Points to Gryffindor." Not bad. If it had been me I would have only gotter 5 points."As our Mandrakes are only seedlingstheir cries won't kill you yet." Yet? She sounds like Hagrid. "But they could knock you out for several hours, which is why I have given each of you a pair of earmuffs for auditory protection. So could you put them on, right away? Quickly. Flaps tight down, and watch me closely." Huh? "You grasp your Mandrake firmly." Mandrake family? I'll just adjust the earmuffs so I can hear her." You pull it sharply up out of the pot." The Mandrake screams so high pitched! "Got it? And now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm."
Oh why's my world going black? I'm falling...What's this sharp pain in my skull?
"Potter's been neglecting his earmuffs."
"No ma'am, He bleeding from the head."
"Yes, well, just leave him there. Right on we go. Plenty of pots to go around"
What...If I had been a girl she would have helped me...Why do I have to be male?

Alida-Fruit: It's okay. I like Britany a little. and again, It's okay, I know how hectic life gets.
Chrissy Greanleaf: Glad someone liked it.

raindrops: Thank you! I'll try to live up to the expectations.
A.N. Anouncement. From here on out. Every chapter will be dedicated to a reviewer. Sorry this is so late. I've been busy and had writers block, been sick, etc. Ja Ne. I'll try to post again this week.
