I can tell from the expressions on many of your faces you are wondering what in Merlin’s beard those are doing on your desks and whether or not you can eat it. Please rest assured that should your apple survive the remainder of the lesson that you are free to take your apple with you and consume it. Your apple has not been modified in any way and will produce no magical side effects.” Tossing his own apple up in the air and catching it, Airey grinned and scanned the semi circle of desks before continuing. “But before we delve into all that, everyone please take a careful look at your apple and those belonging to the persons to your right and to your left...unless you are on the end of our semi circle and then just either to your right or your left. What is true about them? What are some universal truths about your apples?”

Dear Merlin, he was dimming the lights. Was it supposed to be mood lighting? Was he putting them in the mood to learn? There was open scoffing at the very idea. Dot briefly checked for a dragon in the room (just in case), before her eyes dropped to the apple on her desk. Safe? Nope. Not sold.

"They're all fruit, professor, which is to say they're the reproductive body of a seed plant." Maybe obvious, but it was important to get basic definitions out of the way.
