Professor Sprout walks into class and tells the students they are going to be re-potting Mandrakes. She warns them that the Mandrake seedlings can cause those who hear their cry to faint and tells the class to put on their ear muffs.

Before the end of the year feast, Dumbledore asks for a round of applause for Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey and all of the students and professors clap, including Madam Pince. Hagrid returns and everyone gives Hagrid a round of applause.

As the Gryffindor students are going to their common room, Seamus says the password to Fat Lady in Painting. She tells the students to wait as she tries to shatter a glass with her voice.

That night, Harry, Ron Weasley, Seamus, Neville and Dean take turns eating candy which causes them to make noises like animals. During study hall, Seamus runs in with a newspaper that says Sirius Black has been sighted in Dufftown and Boy 1 worries Sirius might be nearby.
