 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
While Henry was somewhat interested in using the scalpel for this activity, he also really wanted to try dissecting the mandrake root with magic and so settled on that method for cutting. He didn't really think much about the question posed by the professor, something about carrots? But he did glance over at Nicky, noting that he chose to use the scalpel, and watched him a moment before turning to his own plant.
It did look a little too human-like, but he knew that it was just a plant, even if it took him a minute and a deep breath to prepare to cut. One diffindo was all it took to make the middle cut. It was pretty easy and yeah, the inside did look more planty than anything else.
Wait, they had lungs? Henry looked up from his workstation to hear that explanation. He guessed it made sense considering how much noise they made when alive, but it wasn't something that he had ever given an ounce of thought to. He squinted up at the diagram as Professor Paul spoke, but he wasn't completely sure he'd have enough control over the spell to get the cuts that precise. Perhaps he should use the scalpel for this part.
He had just picked up his scalpel and made the next incision under what appeared to be the mandrake's chin when he heard yelling from Derf, and his name happened to be among that shouting. He turned to look at him a moment, realizing exactly what all those names had in common. There were a lot of people swarming around him now, doing their best to comfort him. But since he had been worried about him too, Henry felt the need to go over and reassure him.
He walked over to Derf's workstation right after Etta, stopping right across from him to make eye contact. "Derfael. I'm right here. I'm okay too; we're all okay. And you're going to be just fine." But he wasn't sure what triggered this reaction just now and he glanced up at Professor Paul to see what he thought to do next.
