While Sirius and the others were making preparations, Wizet took the "Soul Stone" monocle from his pocket, set it before his eye, and looked at the glass bottle Neville had brought out.
Working in tandem with his Magic Eye, Wizet began analyzing the small aquatic plant inside the bottle.
After Neville and Hannah had identified their talents and devoted themselves more diligently to Herbology, their aptitude in that area had gradually begun to show. The aquatic plant in the glass bottle was proof enough.
Aquatic plants themselves were exceedingly common. Amid the ever-changing conditions at the bottom of the Black Lake, choosing such an ordinary water plant made it less likely to arouse the suspicion of magical creatures.
Crabclaw Orchids in the wizarding world were rather unusual. Herbologists had gradually cultivated this magical plant only after modifying Devil's Snare.
Devil's Snare itself was aggressive, able to extend snake-like vines that coiled around and strangled any prey that came near it.
In the process of modifying Devil's Snare, herbologists reduced its aggression, making the altered plant friendlier and more inclined to approach humans.
Crabclaw Orchids, cultivated from modified Devil's Snare, could sense the presence of humans and express their fondness for them by dancing.
Wizet could tell that Neville had used the Life-Gathering Spell to transfer the Crabclaw Orchid's trait of "liking to be close to people" onto the aquatic plant.
Moreover, Neville had also condensed Devil's Snare's trait of extending its vines to pursue prey through the Life-Gathering Spell, successfully imparting it to the aquatic plant.
This way, whenever a human came near, the aquatic plant modified by the Life-Gathering Spell would show its affinity for humans and actively move toward anyone passing nearby.
