Isla still got a little squeamish when she looked down at the frog, but the feeling was starting to ease away and be replaced with determination. She just kept silently reminding herself that she had dealt with potions ingredients plenty of times before, and that was all this was. Or, it was all it was now. It had once been an ickle frog.

She followed the professor's lead and gave a good tap with her wand. "Conserve Condio!" she said. She watched as the sheen appeared, giving her the sign that she'd been successful. So far, so good! If the muscles did relax, she didn't exactly know how to tell, but the frog didn't look quite so rigid, so she guessed everything was okay there.

Isla flipped her frog over as carefully as she could, even if it did end up making a little sound that told her she probably could have done a better job at it. Well, she has to start somewhere, right? She pinned down the frog, only getting slightly squeamish as she did so. She found the bottom end of the frog then began cutting away. Ewwww. This was disgusting! She ended at the lip, opened the flaps, and pinned them down, too.

Okay. Could she go vomit now?

She looked up just in time to hear Nina lose a good five. Isla didn't even know what had happened, but suddenly the lesson was coming to a close. She quickly recast the preservation spell and then wrote her name on the tray. Once that was done, she deposited everything on the bench then went to get cleaned up. This had been an...interesting lesson.
