In sixth year I wasn't doing so well in Herbology. I passed by O.W.L.s in Herbology and kept at it. Unfortunately I was inconsiderate to Neville Longbottom when he was doing a presentation on Mimbulus Mimbletonia (We all gave presentations on plants that year) and was banned from the green house for three weeks.
In those three weeks I earned no credit for Herbology and unless I wanted to fail the class I needed some big extra credit. I remembered my older brother's use of hallucinogenic substances. I decided I should try to grow some.
Using a few spells to make the plants grow faster I grew them within the three week period. I brought them to Sprout to see if she would give me extra credit (I must have used some before to even believe that this plan would work). She incinerated the plants on the spot.
I got to keep a little bit of my ah 'project' which made fun and disturbing times later on. But Sprout made me serve three weeks detention with her, five tons of dragon dung, and a new crop of mandrakes.
