Moving on! Of course bursting the disgusting, pulsating grapefruit sized pod was what they had to do next. What else was there to do? Adi turned to Agatha. "A pod for you, Slytherin,'' he said and held out one for her to take. It was totally up to her if she was going to be all girly and not want to burst the thing.

Thank goshness they had to work separately now. Adi didn't quite trust Agatha hanging onto those vines of the plant. Who knew what went through her mind. She might just want to let the plant attack him. Gloves still on, Adi now proceeded towards the back shelf. What to best open the pod with? Hmmm. Maybe the mortar and pestle could be his first try? Yeah. If that didn't work, he would try the knife.

Back at the table, Adi dropped the pod into the mortar then slammed the pestle onto it. What happened next wasn't quite what he expected. The pod somehow escaped the pestle UNSCATHED and bounced upwards smacking him dead in the forehead.

O___O

"OUCH!"

What, what, WHAT just happened? He had probably hit the side of the pod and not full on. Slapping his hand to his forehead, Adi briefly rubbed the throbbing spot. Stupid pod -___- Where was it, anyway? The unamused Puff turned this way and that until he finally located his attacker near the feet of a student or two or three away from him.

"Come here, you.'' The Puffer snagged the pod. Definitely the mortar and pestle were of no use so that meant... the knife. Holding the pod over the bowl and his his right hand, he grabbed the knife with his left hand and gave the pod a smart poke instantly causing the tuber thingies to escape from. So wriggly. HOW COOL!
