Archie watched with interest how the students lured the Bowtruckles away from the trees. It was pretty nice to see how another professor taught. Also took a bit of the pressure away from him! Once most of the students seemed to have dealt with their Bowtruckles, Archie stepped forwards to move onto the next activity. His activity. Which suddenly didn't feel as awesome as feeding lil creatures. "Right. Now...." He said loudly to the class. "One particular tree that the Bowtruckles were inhabiting today is this..." He gestured towards the large tree behind him. "It's a Wand Tree... which does exactly what is says on the tin, really." Or on the name. Ahem, anyway... "You were probably expecting a more dangerous plant to be dealing with today..." He paused. "... and don't worry, we'll be covering that next lesson." Unfortunately his initial trip to the Forbidden Forest had been cancelled for this lesson. Though, this tree could potentially be dangerous with the creatures around it. Thankfully the students had removed the danger.
"Wand Trees are somewhat rare to come upon. You will only find this one at Hogwarts, and we will all be working from the same tree today. They have a magical substance within the wood that are used by wandmakers all around the world. Important stuff." He nodded. "Today we are going to harvest the wood from this tree using a charm that is often used in Herbology. No doubt we will be using it in the future as well. The Severing Charm. Diffindo." They'd probably heard of it, right? Archie still wanted to teach it properly, though, as it had the potential to be dangerous to the students.
Archie whipped out his wand and raised it in the air to demonstrate the wand movement. "A simple up-down wand movement." He swished it up, then quickly back down. "Up, down. Up, down." Swish, snip, slice! "Alongside the incantation Diffindo. Deef-in-doe." Yep, there. Archie turned to the tree, "Diffindo." With a brisk up-down movement, one tiny twig sliced itself from the tree and landed on the ground. "Have a practice, have a go, and collect wood from this tree. Just the branches and twigs, though." It would be important to leave the trunk for regrowth.
