He'd been hoping they could move on pretty soon, but it seemed some of the students hadn't even started. He hoped he didn't run out of time. "Well, Amy," Sage said, moving towards the girl and her leaf, "using your wand and the severing charm.. the incantation 'Diffindo' .. you need to trim the spiny edges, and then down the middle of the leaf. That way you can get to the gel inside.

We'll be looking at some more healing plants very soon though, so you can wait for those if you like."

"It's not unheard of," the Professor said, nodding at Aaron's question, "some people like to consume the gel within the leaves if they're feeling particularly poorly. Personally, I don't like the taste."

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.

That was a good question. Unusual, but good.

"Sometimes," he started slowly, "the juice.. gel.. whatever you want to call it that is inside the leaf of the aloe vera, is referred to as 'milk.'" Sage explained, "I'm not exactly sure, seeing as it looks nothing like milk, but that's why."

What was it with these young men and their appetites? Sage chuckled slightly. "Nothing terrible would happen were you to ingest the gel-like substance," he explained, "it's the yellowish, greeny sap that seeps out of the leaf when you cut it that you don't want to ingest. You'll get a bad tummy if you do."

She looked up a little while later after realizing everyone had already started what they were meant to be doing. But she saw a leaf in front of her. She decided to call over the professor. "I'm sorry Sir, I think that potion the nurse gave me has affected my attention span" she giggled slightly but was actually serious about it. "Do you mind repeating exactly what it is we're supposed to be doing" she asked sweetly. Darn High Heeled Shoes. But that broken ankle really hurt.

Another one who hadn't started! EEK.

Sage bustled towards her, trying to remain patient. Apparently she had a bad memory, so it wasn't her fault. "We're extracting the gel from inside the leaf. You simply need to use a severing charm to trim of the spiky sides and then make a cut down the middle!"

"If you don't want to use the gel yourself," Sage told the girl, "just scoop it up and put it inside a vial. We don't want to waste it. It's good moisturiser though, if you want to rub it into your hands or forearms."

Ehgad smirked and raised his hand, which was now sticky and a bit dirty. "Professor, when I put it in my hair, it sticks straight up!" Ehgad was using some of the goo that covered his hand to fix his short bangs into a row of spikes. "It's making my hair stick up funny!" He laughed and pointed at his discovery. ::

Sage grinned at the boy who was using the goo in his hair. "Must be the consistency," he said in amusement, "you can keep the rest in a vial if you like. Aloe vera hair gel."

He moved back towards the front of the class. Almost time to move on.
