He eyed whatever Professor Lafay was holding, ooooh, hand raised, "Those are sopophorous beans, no? And...because they can help a little with the pain that comes with regenerating a bone? Like, calming properties?" haha, he had no idea.
"It does indeed have calming properties, Master Lockhart." She said nodding.

Pfffffffft.
Looking back up to Professor Lafay, she was kinda hoping they would just get to making the potion, and learn what the ingredients are for as they went along, but well, she wasn't about to suggest that. She'd rather stay in class, then be kicked out.
"It's a sopophorous bean." she said, looking at the on that was ones on the table she sat at. "And..." Though why they were used, she had no clue. Beans were a form of calcium right? Or at least, some of them. Maybe. Then again, they were used in that living death potion thing if she remembered correctly. "Maybe they make you relaxed." So, regrowing bones doesn't hurt as bad.
She had noooooo clue.
"Sort of, yes." She said moving her head from side to side.

Sopophorous beans...Kurumi had no idea outside of them being difficult to cut and being one of the ingredients in Draught of Living Death. What did a sleeping potion and bone regeneration potion have in common? Numbing? "Professor," Kurumi said with her hand raised. "Do the juices of the beans numb the bone regeneration process so it doesn't...hurt?"
"Yes... but how?" She asked.

"The sopophorous," Snort. "bean is supposed to be really hard. Just like your bones!"
...
"No, Miss Shepard, you are incorrect." She said looking at the girl.

She looked up as Professor Lafay pulled up what looked like some kind of bean.
"They are sopophorous beans Professor. I'm not exactly sure what they're for, but I know their juices are used in the Draught of Living Death. So, could it possibly have something to do with getting rid of the old bone that we will be regenerating?"
"No... not really." She said and shook her head.

"No... that isn't the answer, Miss Malfoy." She said.

"Master Wilkes, will you no longer enlighted us?" She said to the silent boy.

Leaning back in his chair, he waited till the Professor told them the right answer, because at this point everyone was just guessing.
...
Merlin, Why me?!
"Yes, Master Chosen, because farting is so very important to bone regrowth!" she said sarcastically.
"No... The bean is used to facilitate sleep. It will help put and keep you asleep while you bone regenerates, therefor decreasing the awful pain associated with it." She said. "Alright, the last ingredient is liquid Marshmellow... this is put in for flavor. Chocolate and Caramel both contain caffeine, small quantities, yes, but that will make you stay awake. So marshmellow it is... honey can also be used, but is not as nice a taste. So lets get started shall we?" She said starting the fire under her cauldron. "Light your fires, make sure the cottage cheese is on the cauldron first."
