Hufflepuff Gossip

It appears that new Hufflepuff Professor Eugenia Z. Twylantern is using her plants for more than just Herbology lessons.  Rather than restricting use of her more dangerous plants to lessons with senior students, it seems that Professor Tweedy is employing their services to booby-trap her office.  In a recent conversation, she confessed to keeping fanged geraniums on her desk, and a flowering variety of Trailing Catchwort over her door.  The Trailing Catchwort, for those of you who are not so adept at Herbology, possesses long vines which , when they have caught someone, will not let them go.  The flowers also emit a loud squeak when someone is caught.  Professor Twylantern would admit that there is one way to make the plant relax its
grip on an individual, but, unsurprisingly, refused to tell me what it is, insisting that she doesn't want me and most of Hufflepuff being able to break in to her office.

Professor Twylantern also confessed to feeding all her DADA plants with a potion in their regular watering schedule to make them impervious to charms.When I commented that it sounded like she didn't trust us, the Professorexplained that she has taught in schools like Hogwarts back in America, andis "well aware of the shenanigans that kids our age can get up to".  I'msure I don't know what you mean, Professor.  ;)
