chapter 18, seething, part a

Characters: Harper Hutchinson, Daphne Greengrass, Ginny Weasley, Ella Wilkins, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Pomona Sprout, Seamus Finnigan, Flora Carrow, Jack Sloper, Dhanesh Devi

18 September, 1998. Herbology is lively. Harry has a questionable idea, Ron has a terrible one. Ella flirts with a stroke, while Draco has a fit. Flora knows her stuff, Harper has a plan, and probably a crush; Ginny's very likely developing one, too. Neville has cause to mentally run through most of the curses he knows, magical and otherwise, none of which helps. Professor Sprout may not treat all her students equally, but several of them at least have a good laugh before dinner.
