Emmeline's voice rang out. DERF ATE THE MAGIC FRUIT! Paul's head had never whipped around so fast in his LIFE, and one look at the young Hufflepuff, and he was definitely under the fruit's spell. Paul had an internal groan, because of COURSE Derfael had managed to eat a fruit SOMEHOW. Even though he had EXPLICIT instructions NOT TO. HAD THE BOY NOT BEEN LISTENING?

Fighting irritation with genuine worry, he quickly gave his wand a SHARP wave, rotting the trees back in the front where they were SUPPOSED to be, and have his wand ANOTHER rap, and the vial of antidote was summoned from his bag. "DERFAEL!" he called out. He could see Emmeline attempting to make the situation better by giving him REGULAR fruit, but Paul had said he had a antidote, so he didn't quite see why she wouldn't have just asked for the antidote O___O

Ronan was CHEERING HIM ON? "CLASS DISMISSED!" Paul called out, loudly for everyone to hear. "If you're in the middle of something - STOP AND DROP IT." His voice was gruff, the irritation seeeeeeeping through his words. "Ronan, cut it out!" he snapped, raising an eyebrow in the boy's direction. "You won't be cheering him on when he's vomiting on your shoes. Shoo." He was dooooone with the lesson. All ideas of teaching them the proper ways to clean fruit were gone.

Because, the facts remained, if he didn't stop Derf from eating more fruit, he WOULD be sick.

He flicked the stopper off the top of the vial and rushed over to the boy, grabbing the back of his head gently, but firmly, pulling his head back. "This...is for your own good, m'boy," Paul said. There was no time for tricks. He tipped the potion into the boy's mouth without another word.

The affect, as long as Derf had swallowed it, would take affect shortly. He eyed the lotus trees bitterly.



OOC: Okay! We had other things planned but...CLASS DISMISSED. You gotta' roll with the punches sometimes! I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson, though, guys! This was fun, LETS DO IT AGAIN lol.

I'll be leaving this open for another day for those of you who wish to wrap things up with the fruit. Anyone involved with the Derf stuff can continue to post (we'll probably move to another thread at some point if needed).
