"No, Miss Shepard. That is not true." Destiny would be the cause of someone's death in this class if they listed to the her.

She turned to the whole class. "If I tell you something is a poison, even if it MAY be a poison and you are not sure of it, Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, touch or ingest it." She opened a drawer, removed a chocolate chocolate chunk cookie, and a vial. Then she summoned a sugar lump from the tea set to her back. She placed the cube in a mortar and with the pestle... and a little magic, turned the granules into powdered sugar. She then added a few drops of the liquid in the vial making it into a glaze. It smelled different to everyone. It smelled like your favorite sweet. To Hecate it smelled like dark black cherries. Then with a brush, she layered the stuff on the cookie.

Lifting the cookie she showed it to the class. It looked delicious. "This is poison." She said. "If you would like me to prove it, I will summon a rat from inside the wall... and test it." She wasn't kidding.

After putting the cookie back in her desk, she made her way back to Destiny, and placed both her hands on the girl's table "Your parents may lie to you to keep you in line. I won't lie to you." She leaned forward and whispered so only Destiny could hear. "I, Miss Shepard, have other ways..."

"Continuing... Can you name a poison, and where you find it. One per student." She asked the class.
