Earth clings to her like a second skin, and her flyaway hair escapes a patched hat in wild defiance of order. There's a sturdy warmth in her squat frame, like the reliable heft of good soil after rain. You can almost smell the greenhouses on her—damp, fertile, full of stubborn life.

Pomona Sprout, the hearty Herbology professor, bustles through Hogwarts with dirt under her nails and plants in her arms, teaching students like Harry about mandrakes whose cries can revive the petrified. She leads the mandrake-harvesting efforts crucial to curing the Chamber of Secrets' victims, including Hermione and Colin Creevey. Ever practical and earthy, she remains a steadfast pillar of Hagrid's defense during his arrest, her greenhouse work proving vital to the school's survival against Salazar Slytherin's monstrous legacy.
Description
A squat little witch with a sturdy, rounded build, her flyaway hair spills out from under a patched, floppy hat. Earth cakes her clothes and blackens her fingernails, while ruddy cheeks glow from hours in the greenhouse. Warm, twinkling eyes peer from a kind, weathered face framed by practical robes stained with soil. She carries an air of fertile energy, arms often laden with bandages or budding plants.
