Sage moved to the table infront of him again, laying the leaf flat on the surface. "This process is often known as 'milking aloe vera,' the professor explained as he carefully retrieved his wand.

"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."

Iris looked at the people who were speaking up and answering. She didn't really know much about Aleo Vera, other than it was meant to be good for you, and that Muggles liked using it in EVERYTHING. So she made notes. Lots of mental notes.

When the professor dude said they were going to be studying the goo in it, Iris frowned a bit, not really understanding how. She smiled to herself a little as he said some people called it 'milking' the aleo vera, and watched him as he got the goo out of it. Yaay. Looked like fun. Not.

She took out her wand, to begin to do what the professor did, but then a thought hit her. Iris raised her hand, "Professor... Why does it get called 'milking'? Because ... You're not really milking it. It's goo... And you're cutting it open.. Not, y'know - "She made a small motion with her hands, as if she was milking a really small cow, or something, " Do you get what I mean?" She asked him, sounding more than a little bit confused herself.
