Herbology 101

Amanda found it quite difficult to use her newly developed vampire skills to fly to Herbology during the day. No vampire, pureblooded or less, could use their powers to their full extent in the light. Amanda luckily wasn't affected that much by sunlight. She made it to class just before Professor Sprout entered the green house classroom. "Good morning, class. Today we are going to work with Vouses(made-up, I think it sounds good (vowses) pronounced. Just go with it.), now these plants can be used as a substitute, if necessary, for monks weed (is that a HP World ingredient?). It isn't as powerful to the potion as the real thing, but this can come in handy if you don't have monks weed. Today what we'll do is cut all of these Vouses I have here and crush them to powder. Afterwards, the powder will be bottled and Professor Snape has instructed each student keep a bottle to use in potions tomorrow. Now, let's get started."

Harry waited until Sprout left the class to their plants and then turned to Amanda. She knew what he was going to ask and she didn't mind answering. "Ama, You can turn into a bat? I thought you couldn't do it because you didn't have enough vampire in you. Does it hurt to transform?" Harry kept chopping his set of plants while waiting for Amanda to respond. The last thing he wanted was detention. "Oh, I can do it. I'm just now completely coming into my vampire powers. So far Jake and grandpa have taught me how to use my vampire strength, agility, and I've even learned how to hang from things. It bugs Mom to no end when I jump from the ceiling to surprise her, but I don't do that much because her groundings are like being in jail for a week. Anyway I learned how to turn bat about three months ago, it took a lot of hard practice, but today I think I finally did it all the right way. Oh, and turning into a bat doesn't hurt, but your whole body gets this strange tingling sensation, then you sight becomes five times sharper then normal, you feet leave the ground, its amazing to fly. To give an example, Harry it is as fun as you have when you play Quidditch." Amanda finished and went back to her pile of Vouses.

"Wow, then you must love flying when you get the chance. I love playing Quidditch. Enough talk for now, let's finish our Vouses before we have to stay after class to finish." Harry smiled and then continued to cut up and grind the Vouses until his pile of them was finish. Amanda along with everyone else managed to complete all of their plants before the lunch bell. Everyone gathered their bottles of Vouse powder and books and headed back into the Hogwarts castle for lunch, Ron favorite subject.

Thanks for waiting for me. Things are so busy around here I either don't get a chance to write or I let myself get too tired. Keep those reviews coming, I love 'em. –
