His eyes widened, yes, in terror, as both hands went up to sustain the hanging skin, because without the mandible it will fall, no? Not to mention that his tongue had no lower teeth to help it keep inside.

He. Wanted. To. DIE.

Treyen had no idea what to do with his hands, should he fold the skin or something? He was holding, alright, just, he wasn't sure exactly how he looked and how bad the damage was. Scary. And he had SUCH A PRETTY FACE!!!

His terrified eyes made a 'NO' motion to those that Lafay was asking to volunteer. This was..not exactly painful, because he felt nothing, but that was the terrifying part!

He had sooooo many things to ask and say! And he couldn't talk! Well, yes, the boy could cry right now, but since boys didn't cry, then he didn't.

Eyes to Lafay, those eyes said nothing, but then quickly turned to her cauldron. Was the potion even ready yet?! Oh my Gilderoy! And he couldn't run out the classroom, because...he had no mandible! He needed it back!

Was is going to grow the same way? He had nice teeth, you know. TEETH.

O_o

Alice's eyebrows went up. Pick a bone? Alice looked down at her own body, uncertain as to what exactly it would be like to be missing a bone. Did it hurt re-growing bones?

Alice raised her hand. "If you'd like another volunteer Professor Lafay, I'd be willing."

Destiny stared at the Professor, wide-eyed and opened mouth. She had absolutely no idea what was being talked about. Those words..what did they mean? She needed a dictionary or better yet! a book on the Anatomy of the human body. She didn't know why Lafay was telling her all that useless information, it was like the woman knew she wouldn't understand and she only did it to tease her.

Meanie.

So, it was decided her something something bone was going to be removed. Hopefully it wasn't a major bone..one that she needed..like her jaw. She secretly snickered at the boy who was holding up his skin. He looked like her grandmother with all that extra flab hanging and she wanted to tell him to make sure his tongue didn't fall out, but at that moment..

HER THUMB!

It was just..hanging there. Crooked and flabby, wobbling all over the place. She tried to give a thumbs up, she really did, but it was useless. It wasn't moving! Well, it was, just not in the way she wanted it to. "Professor! What if the skin stretches so much that when I regrow my bone, my thumb will be longer than all the others? How will it fit inside my glove?"

It was still winter, and she needed her glove to fit.

No, she didn't want a bone removed from her body. She quite liked all her bones. They were all HERS. Not even the unknown of the universe could have it, or wherever those vanished items go. It wasn't worthy enough!!

MERLIN'S BEARD! Look at Destiny's thumb! It was limp!

Then ALICE volunteered. ALICE. Ugh. Rubiey reallllly didn't want her to do it alone. Sighing, she put her hand up. "I'll volunteer, Professor." She said, smiling weakly at Alice. They were in this together, right?

GULP.

Kurumi poked her right arm where the bone had been removed and it was all squishy and perhaps even a little rubbery like jell-O that had been in the fridge for too long.

Kurumi could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. This was very very scary. She looked at the other "volunteers" who seemed freaked out, but by no means in the emotional mess that she was. She did not want to start crying on the spot...but she was only a first year after all and Dragon Lady scared the living daylights out of her.

Suddenly, a thought struck her. Was she never going to be able to practice kendo anymore? Was her favorite thing in the world, not to mention the only thing that kept her sane, going to be taking away from her? What about baking?! Could she never bake cookies again?!

She began to feel light-headed - this all was too much for her young brain to process.

Now a few tears fell from her eyes...for Dragon Lady, this was probably like Christmas.

But his eyes betrayed the alarm as he saw Fletcher's fanboy looking like a Pacman ghostie, now devoid of his lower jaw. Oi! Yes, definitely sitting this one out, no bones about it.
