Challenge: What is in a name
The plant grows, cultivated by the Muggles. Bright red blossoms accentuated with a black face grow in fields that stretch to the horizon.
The sap of the poppy became a medical wonder. Giving remission to pain, its true nature was masked. Too much over time caused addiction, too much at one time caused endless sleep.
Poppy Pomfry knew her name’s legend. She pondered at how Muggles made such mistakes. Didn’t they know that a caring touch could soothe suffering or that a lullaby could coax the restless into slumber?
No elixir or potion can replace tenderness, she will tell you.
