Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Scene 10

Scene 10

• In the Hogwarts greenhouse, Professor Sprout is showing the second-years how to re-pot baby Mandrakes.
• Their cries may be deadly, but their venom can revive someone who's been petrified. Thanks for that info, Hermione.
• Later, in the Great Hall, Ron is trying to tape his wand, but it's hopelessly broke.
• Just then, he gets a letter delivered by owl. It's red and everyone starts saying it's "a howler."
• When Ron opens it, the letter takes the shape of a mouth and starts yelling at him in Mrs. Weasley's voice about how wrong he was to take the car and fly off to school.
• Guess that letter home from Professor McGonagall was pretty effective after all.
