Louisa's hand was twisting a lock of her hair as she waited for the cauldron to cool. Her eyes watched the petrified eyes of allergic students. In fact, she liked the boy Messer? Who almost caused her to lose a limb at the lake lesson, heh. He was apparently allergic to something. Her eyes moved on to Beezus then, who was giving dagger looks at that poor bar of chocolate. Poor lil girl, it was the lamest curse in the world for a girl to be allergic to chocolate. Tsk tsk. Louisa made a mental note not to share her chocolate treats with the younger eagle.
Touching the side of the cauldron, she made sure it was cool now. Louisa got up then and moved on to take one of the vials that supposedly would make her allergic to something. Sipping from the vial, or gulping from it to be accurate, Louisa paused for a moment. She felt stinging down her throat but other than that she was the same.
The Ravenclaw walked over to the objects professor Lafay had laid down for them to try out. Louisa was eager actually to find out which one of those goods would be deadly.
Her hand found the peanut butter first, she licked the teaspoon and waited for like ten seconds before deciding it was safe. She grabbed a chocolate and took a bite. Again, nothing. Heh. Her system was stronger than expected?
Taking the
strawberry, Louisa munched it slowly and sucked on the juice while her eyes lingered on the other treats that she wanted to try out. The
strawberry was still on her mouth when her tongue started throbbing and getting slightly hot.
O__O
The girl lifted the fruit away from her mouth, eyed it and slowly moved back to her workspace where the potion waited for her. Louisa quickly poured some of her potion into a wooden cup-like subject. She didn't drink it right away, though, she waited for a little bit to feel it entirely. Her tongue felt slightly larger.. and it definitely was crowding her mouth. THAT was when she knew that the more she waited, the more dangerous this task would turn out to be.
Fumbling with the cup, Louisa opened her mouth as wide as she mustered and poured down some of the potion. After the stinging, sizzling-feeling and throbbing fading away slowly... her mouth was not crowded anymore.
"
That sucked."
