"Gus!'' Adi said happily as he picked up his toad. "Hey, buddy. Benny treating you well? I hope you don't mind staying with him. I know he thinks you're a dormouse but that's only because he's gone mad and think he's the Hatter.'' Gus blinked his big toady eyes. "He'll be okay soon, I hope but until then, you stick with him.'' Adi grinned and was about to set Gus down in the teapot when Professor Plants spoke up to Benny.

"Professor, it's not his fault. Something's wrong with him,'' the Hufflepuff explained before turning to his bestie. "Pipe it down. Come on, put those back in your bag.'' He slid the teapot, cup and saucer back into the Lion's bag. "But you can keep your dormouse in your pocket.'' He held out Gus for Benny to take. "We'll answer your riddles later and have a tea party, too.'' Because the lesson was underway.

The fourth year raised his hand. "If the plant's leaves have gone all droopy and dry then start to fall off, Professor.''
