"For this we'll be using the severing charm, like so." Muttering the incantation 'diffindo,' Sage directed his wand first up either side of the leaf, neatly trimming off the slightly spiny sides. "By cutting off the edges, we're making the gel easier accessible."

He then moved his wand to cut vertically lengthwise through the center of the leaf, cutting it neatly into two pieces which he proceeded to hold up. "After slicing down the middle, you can see the gel is encased inside."

He ran his index finger inside, collecting a goopful of the thick, clear gel-like substance. "Go ahead and 'milk your aloe vera,'" he said to the class, "if anyone needs help with their severing charm ask me or one of your peers."

Nancy was sitting right in the middle of the classroom, which proved to be the place where she was furthest away from all the planty stuff. Why she had chosen to attend this Herbology class in the first place she had no idea. Straaange.

And now they were supposed to 'milk' this leaf-y thing?! The 17 year old stared suspiciously at the leaf on her desk as if it was about to attack her or something. Well, at least they weren't supposed to touch i-Crap! Or so she had thought. Cause now Professor Dodson was actually TOUCHING the leaf. Eek! Where they supposed to do that too? She liked cutting the leaf open and all but actually touch it...

Chewing on her lower lip absentmindedly Nancy slowly pointed her wand at the leaf and with cut it the sides off with a non-verbal diffindo. Now, onto - YAY! - cutting the leaf apart! Hehe. With a swift movement of her wand she cut the leaf into two almost symetrical pieces. Noooow..."Erm...Professor Dodson?" The Prefect raised her hand, the one which was not holding her wand. "Is there a way to extract the liquid...well - " Without actually touching the plant-y stuff. "-magically?" She ended up saying with a small half-hearted smile for the professor.
