She rolled her eyes at the kid. "I know it's a plant. I think we all do Morgan." She said and summoned some to show. "It is poisonous, however we use it all the time in potion making. Not to mention it's what Wolfsbane potion got it's name from."
...
Was that a joke? She glared at the boy. "It is poisonous. You should never anger those creatures..." She said in a low voice.
"Chocolate can be fatal in abnormally large quantities..." She said to the girl.
"Very good, that's a creepy looking plant too." She said to the boy.
"Shepard." What was the use... "Yes... and now I'm going to take care of that." She took the cookie out of her drawer and set it on fire in her hand until it crumpled up to nothing. No one could eat it now.
She showed the poison she had pulled from her desk. "Daphyr Poison," She said showing it. "It hasn't got a colour... though it's a little pink in shade... and it smells like your favorite sweet. It makes you want to eat it." She put it back in the drawer, "It was the first poison I ingested. Took me a few weeks to get better..." She said "Has anyone been poisoned?"
Samira had been quiet the entire class so far. Potions made her somewhat uneasy. She didn't like being in the proximity of anything that could explode in her face. When Professor Lafay asked if anyone had ever been poisoned, Samira raked her brain. Samira never really did over-dangerous stunts, and was very careful. It was one of her many Slytherin Traits: self-preservation. No, Samira wasn't stupid enough to get herself poisoned. So she sat back and prepared herself to be entertained by some amusing "This-Is-How-I-Got-Poisoned" stories.
