"Indeed, Nadia," Professor Phoenix smiled. "Five points to Slytherin. I barely need to add much to your explanation, but anyway..." Professor Phoenix said, putting the Dransul back into its cage, "we all know that plants need certain key ingredients for growth. For one, there is light, then there is carbon dioxide as well as water, usually absorbed through the air and soil. And this is the pivotal point: It is very rare—except for plants that grow in water—for a plant to grow without being directly in contact with soil, usually through their roots. The Dransul is mobile and does not depend on this contact to gather water and other minerals for its growth."
Professor Phoenix paused. "So this is the first unusual thing about Dransuls: Their mobility. Then, their liking for raw meat. Eww. Can anybody find something else?
"Oh, and Dransuls are pretty harmless," Professor Phoenix added, looking at Serena. "About as harmless as a bunch of dried up old leaves."
