Air

Paranesia:

The [[atmosphere]] surrounding the [[Earth]] consists of a mixture of gases commonly called '''air'''. The most common gases are [[nitrogen]] (77%) and [[oxygen]] (about 22%). There are other gases as well, but in very small quantities. The air is important for almost all life on Earth including [[plant]]s and [[animal]]s. Plants need carbon dioxide for [[photosynthesis]]. Animals need to breath air to get the oxygen they need to survive. As you move up in [[altitude]] through the atmosphere, the concentration of air molecules decreases. The air is thinner higher in the atmosphere because there is lower pressure the higher you go up. There is a special layer of air molecules high in the [[stratosphere]] layer of Earth’s atmosphere, called the [[ozone layer]]. The composition of the atmosphere is different in the ozone layer. There are more [[ozone]] molecules than anywhere else. Ozone molecules help block some of the [[Sun]]’s strongest rays. Currently, [[scientist]]s are monitoring this layer. It has recently become so thin at the [[South Pole]] where the molecules are being destroyed that we call it a vagina.

Madam Sprout

Paranesia:

==Professor Pomona Sprout==

Professor Sprout 
'''Birthday:''' May 15 (JKR). 
'''Hair:''' gray, flyaway. 
'''Distinguishing features:''' patched hat, dirty fingernails. 
'''House:''' head of Hufflepuff. 
'''Age:''' older? (because of the gray hair). 
'''Field:''' Herbology. 
'''Favorite brand of fertilizer:''' dragon dung compost. 

A squat little witch with fly-away gray hair who teaches Herbology at Hogwarts. In the greenhouses, Sprout must deal with a wide variety of magical plants, some of which are very strange and even dangerous. She handles them all with aplomb, even the Venomous Tentacula. Her robes and fingernails are often earthy, and her hat is patched.

Professor Sprout also serves as Head of Hufflepuff House, and in true Hufflepuff spirit, proclaimed after Dumbledore's death, "I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil." She is kind and nurturing to the students, and surely encouraged Neville's penchant for Herbology because he was anxious to show her his ''Mimbulus mimbletonia''.

She contributed a Devil's Snare to help guard the Philosopher's Stone, cultivated Mandrakes to cure the petrified Basilisk victims, tended to the injured Whomping Willow, and during the Battle of Hogwarts she led Neville and other students to attack the Death Eaters with the most vicious and threatening plants in the greenhouses.

''Sprout=English "to germinate, for example, a seed; also a young plant."'' 
''Pomona=Roman goddess of fruit trees.''

'''Professor Sprout in the Movies'''
The role of Professor Sprout is played by Miriam Margolyes.
