Not long after she had taken a seat, the fifth year noticed Professor Bentley arriving. Looks like class was about to start. Gwen couldn’t help but wonder how come she started enjoying Herbology starting with this year, since she hadn’t been a great fan of plants. Hmm. Anyway, her thoughts were soon interrupted as she heard the first question being asked.

Hmmm.

What did she know about the requirements of herbs? The fifth year remembered having read something about sunlight, but since she didn’t know how much light the herbs needed, Gwendolyn decided to think about something else. So what else did herbs need? Water, of course. ‘Some herbs need more water than others. For example, mints need the soil to be constantly humid’, the fifth year said.
