April 24th, 1893

Students,

Third and fourth years are expected to write at least 12 inches of parchment on any semi-sentient plant of their choosing. OWL students should consider this revision for their upcoming exams and to study their overall characteristics as a group as you complete the same assignment.

You may choose from;

- screechsnaps
- chomping cabbage
- devil's snare
- fanged geraniums
- venomous tentacula

Please reach out with other ideas to be approved before you begin! Please see me or send a note to my office with any questions.

Best,
Professor M. Skeeter

Anything over 200 words will earn you +10 house points! Reply here, unless you would like to request a different plant via a letter thread with Mason! Please complete by the end of term on May 30th!

Fanged Geraniums are incredibly useful plants in the wizarding world because they can be used as weapons, potion ingredients, and ingredients in various foods. When observed, you will find that they have green leaves with blue or red flowers that have sharp fangs that will certainly bite anyone who gets a little too close and is not careful. If using this plant as a weapon, if you are trying to defend yourself while in a garden, you can certainly throw it at someone and expect the Fanged Geranium to latch onto your opponent. However, it's more commonly used as a potions ingredient. Fanged Geraniums are used in both Skele-Gro, a potion used to regrow lost bones, and Strength Potion, a potion used to give the drinker increased strength. We can infer that in both potions, the Fanged Geranium has strength-enhancing properties which makes it excellent for both potions, and it's those properties that those who choose to cook the plant are trying to get when eating it. Finally, it is noted that some scholars believe that the War of Roses, a Muggle conflict in 1455-1487, was actually started due to an argument between neighbors over a Fanged Geranium, however it has not yet been proven.
