And now the Hufflepuff decided his decision to come up here hadn’t been a bad one after all. He’d better get a vial or two ready because that disgusting stinksap would be making an appearance soon surely.

It did. Just not in the way Jude had hoped.

Instead of oozing out like it had earlier, a whole load of stinky goo spatteredall across Jude’s face and the front of his clothing. Dear Merlin!!! What a stench!!! Jude thought he was going to pass out from the rancid odor.

This was not cool, man!

As Tapio was watching, he suddenly noticed that the Mimbulus Mimbletonia was becoming just a little too excited and that Jude had fallen into the common trap of getting too comfortable and letting his guard down. Before Tapio had a chance to step in, it happened--a stinksap explosion! "Oh dear, well, sometimes that happens." Tapio gently drew the boy away to a safe distance from the plant and then cast the Scourgify charm on him to remove the worst of the sap. He had had them all practice it, but he knew that it was difficult to remember magic when smelling Stinksap. "Ah, perhaps that's enough practice for you for this lesson," he said consolingly to the student. "And you'd better have a bath after class. Here," he went on, pulling a bottle containing a clear blue liquid from a pocket deep within his long robes. "It's recommended that one bathe for 90 minutes after a Stinksap accident, but I've developed this special soap designed specifically to remove the odor of Stinksap, so if you use this, it will only take about half an hour. Go on, take it, it doesn't smell bad at all, and neither will you after you use it." He hoped this wouldn't discourage Mr. Anders from his interest in Herbology.

"Well, then, does anyone else want to have a go at it? I think the Mimbulus has calmed down enough by now." Tapio tried to sound as encouraging as he could, but he was afraid that this accident would turn off any other potential experimenters.
