<h1>Lesson: MANDRAKE & DEVIL'S SNARE</h1>
<b>01. Explain what Devil's Snare is and its 3 distinctions.</b>
Devil’s Snare has the ability to squeeze anything that is going to touch or is surrounding the plant. This plant has tentacle like tendrils that will ensnare any object. These tendrils make it easier for the plant to asphyxiate whatever object comes in contact with it. The only weakness Devil’s Snare has is that it detests fire and light. To the point where it will recoil from the high temperature of fire or stop moving in front of a bright light.

<b>02. Which harmless plant does Devil's Snare resemble?</b>
Devil’s Snare closely resembles flitterbloom, as they both have tendrils/tentacles that sway about.

<b>03. If a person is caught by Devil's Snare, what would be their best chance of escaping from it?</b>
The best chance to escape Devil’s Snare would be to use a bluebell flames spell in just the right spot. This way the Devil’s Snare will recoil and the victims will be let go.

<b>04. What piece of equipment are you likely to need when handling Mandrakes? Why?</b>
When handling Mandrakes you will definitely need earmuffs. The earmuffs are needed to protect your ears from the Mandrakes shrieks, which if matured, can be fatal. If the Mandrake is young, the shriek will knock out anyone who hears it for a number of hours.

<b>05. What is the Mandrake most commonly used for?</b>
Matured Mandrake root is commonly used as the main ingredient in making a Restorative Draught for reviving anyone that is petrified.

<b>06. What does the Mandrake root resemble?</b>
When the Mandrake is first uprooted it looks like a human baby, but as it grows the plant will look more mature.

<u>EXTRA CREDIT (50 POINTS)</u>

<b>01. In 1995, which incident involving Devil's Snare took place at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries?</b>
Healer Strout mistook a plant that was masked as a Christmas gift to Broderick Bode, an Unspeakable working in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries. Mr. Bode was under control of the Imperius Curse and tried to steal a prophecy from the Department of Mysteries. A Death Eater sent the Devil’s snare as a Christmas gift and Healer Strout ended up thinking it was flitterbloom.

<b>02. What are the signs to show when a Mandrake is fully matured?</b>
The way to spot if a Mandrake is fully matured would be when they start moving into each other’s plant pots.
