Class Rules
This is a list of rules, do not break one of them or I'll send a Howler to you and your parents!
JUST KIDDING!
No, I have a few 'rules' that help to make this an enjoyable class for all of us.
1. Please, hand in your homework in time, it's easier for me to correct and it's more pleasant for you and your House, because you won't lose crucial Housepoints that way.
2. If you had a bit of bad luck with a task, I encourage you to make the optional assignments, they'll give to neccesary points to pass this class. If you're the perfect student: Make the optional assignments as well, they're easy and fun. And I don't need to say that it's always pleasant to earn some points for your House.
3. If you have questions or problems: do not hesitate to contact me, I'm here to help you. If you can't find me, just follow the trace of leaves and dirt and I'm sure you'll find me :-)
4. Behave in class, be friendly to all Professors in HOL and your fellow students, then everyone will get along just fine.
That's about it for now. If I come up with another oh-so-severe-rule, I'll let you know :-)
About us
Prof. Valerian Mandragora
---------------------------------------
I was born on a stormy day in Belgium (Yes, that little country nobody knows and is situated between the U.K. and China).
It didn't take me long to discover the herb garden and my muggle parents constantly had to restrain me from pottering around. They were happy -like any other crazy muggle- to discover that their little girl was a witch. I was send to a small wizarding school called 'De Toverschool voor Hekserij' (The Magical School of Witchcraft) where I discovered that not only Herbology, but also Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and Dada were my favourite classes. To make a long story short: I graduated and found a teacher's job as Herbalist at HOL. Thank you Rames.
Broom: Silver Arrow, too slow if you ask me but comfortable
Wand: Mahogany, dragon-heart string, 13 inches
Pet: A Puffskein called Pluffy and a small Shoyru-Dragon named Imbrifer
Life: I live in a small cottage on a moor, near a small brook.
I fill my days with correcting your homework, a bit of Quidditch, pestering my Puffskein and chasing away the Leprechauns from my herb garden.
Class Assistent Siobhan Wood
---------------------------------------------
I'm not sure who my parents were. I was left as an infant on the steps of a church. An elderly lady who lived across the street found me and raised me until I was 9. Luckily for me, she was a witch so I learned a lot about the wizarding world from her. She died two years ago and since then I've been living with the muggle family next door. They are nice, but they don't know the wizarding world exists. Emma, the elderly lady who raised me, left me her cottage for when I get older, and a small inheritance. She stipulated in her will that she wanted me to attend Hogwarts, which my muggle family thinks is just a small boarding school in England.
