Professor say wha!!!! She did not just say that he got hit in the head by a bludger. Of course she didn't know about that pesty little orb thing. So he did what the professor said by putting his gloves on and grabbing his scalpel. Next he mad an incision under the scales by one of the fins. Then he grabbed the one fin and put it on his tray.

He moved on to the next fin, and did the same order again. He made the incision under the scales, removed the fin, and put it on his tray. Next he did the same thing with the final fin. He made the incision, grabbed the fin, and stuck it on his tray. He watched as both of the fins disappeared.

Now it was time for the legs. So he grabbed the firs one, and started to twist it. After two or three twists he heard it popping out of it's socket. Then he cut of some loose sking, and pulled the leg off. Next he set it in his tray. Once that was done he twisted the other leg. When he was on the third twist he heard the popping sound that indicated of the leg popping out of it's socket. Finally he cut along the loose skin, pulled the leg off, and put it in his tray.

Alyssa watched as the Professor demonstrated what they needed to do in order to remove the Plimpy's fins.

Taking out her potions journal, Alyssa quickly noted down the steps.



Alyssa put down her quill and put on her gloves. Taking out her wand she pointed it at both the scalpel and the tray that she would be using and cleaned them by using the Scourgify spell. "SCOURGIFY" Alyssa said as she cast the spell.

Now was the difficutl part for her. Making that first incision. Alyssa looked down at the dead plimpy and whispered,"I'm so sorry to be doing this to you. But rest assured your parts will be used for a good cause."

Alyssa took a deep breath and picked up the scalpel in her right hand and holding one fin with her other, she made an incision right where the scales were under the fin. She then gently removed the fin, and placed it on the tray laying next to her on her work space. She repeated the steps for the rest of the fins, and once they were removed, she placed them all on the tray.

Now for the legs. Placing the scalpel on her workspace, Alyssa held onto the legs of the plimpy and rotated them one at a time, spreading them widely until she heard a popping sound that told her that the legs had popped out of their sockets. Alyssa shuddered when she heard that sound. It just sounded painful.

Picking up her scalpel again, Alyssa cut along the lose skin and when she was done, she pulled the legs off and placed them in the tray. She looked at her slimy gloved hands and shuddered. She knew that there was more to do and wasn't looking forward to doing it but she sat back and waited for further instructions from the Professor.

...

Nora felt... sick. Really, really sick... and she felt even worse as professor Lafay kept telling them what to do. The thing was... she wanted to stay at this lesson, but also didn't want to, if that made any bit of sense. She didn't want to earn a glare from her Head of House, but could she really help it if she felt that way? The poor plimpies... even though they were dead.

Putting her gloves on, she pointed her wand at the scalpel and muttered "Scourgify" to clean it. And now... uh... the... cutting part...

Deep breath. She could do it. She really could. All she had to do was imagine that she would be cutting into a... cake? As much as she tried to think about that, she couldn't. All she could think about was the poor plimpy! Okay... so... cut under the scales by the fins... she could do it. She NEEDED to do it.

Holding her scalpel with a now trembling hand, Nora cut where she was supposed to with her eyes almost completely closed, and even holding her breath. She was afraid to breathe! What if there was a smell that would actually make her... faint? She was SO close to fainting... but she COULDN'T do that! No!

As she started removing the fins from the dead plimpy's body, she put them into the tray and was sort of surprised when they started to disappear. Ah, professor Lafay mentioned them being placed into the ingredient storage. When she was finally done with that, she carefully rotated the legs, widely and one at a time, just as they were told, until they popped out of their sockets, making the girl gasp... maybe a bit too loud.

More deep breaths followed, and she didn't even care about any smell. She needed the air, and that was the moment she needed it the most. Cutting along the skin, Nora was more than glad to be done with that part as she put them into the tray. The best thing about it was that she was still alive, and not lying on the floor. She had a feeling she'd have lots of nightmares after this lesson.

Annabelle saw the Slytherin get sprayed in the face with the Aquamenti charm. She smirked to herself and tried not to laugh. She did feel bad for the hufflepuff because he didn't do anything wrong. Ah well at least she got some entertainment. Back to the lesson!
She heard the Professor's instructions and tried to follow them. She put on her gloves first then got her scalpel and cleaned it off. "Aquamenti!" she said and her scalpel looked good as new. Then started to remove all the fins from the plimpy. She made an incision under the scales of the plimpy.It was kind of cool and she saw all the slime from the fish come off onto the glove.
Now Annabelle was onto the legs. She tried to rotate one at a time. She tried the first leg, but she was hearing no pop.
"Professor, i think i am doing something wrong. I can't hear or feel when the leg is out of its socket." Annabelle said as she raised her hand.

Hearing the answer to her suggestion she scooted down in her seat, at least she tried, it could have been where she didnt even give an answer. Someone had froze again and they unfroze not even knowing what was going on, weird.

Wow, the Professor was going nuts! She had sprayed a girl in the face with water and was now yelling at everyone. Once she heard Professor Lafay say that Vindictus was a tired old man, she just burst out laughing. She even heard a couple others laughing, one was a Slytherin. After regaining composure she looked up at the Professor as she explained the next step for harvesting the plimpy. Pulling her notes over to her she picked up her quill and dipped it into the ink and began writing down the steps as the Professor demenstrated and spoke. It had been a good idea for her to leave room under the first step. Rumaging through her bag she found her gloves and put them on. Picking up her scapel she cleaned it cortesy of the scourgify spell, Scourgify!

Couting the fins she remembered there were five. After taking a breath and appoligizing to the Plimpy she cut an incision under the scales by the fins, after cutting all she needed to she removed the first fin. Going to the nest one she repeated what she had done and then moved on to the remaining three. After taking all five fins off and had placed them into the tray, she took a shaky breath they would be dislocating thier legs.

Even though it was already dead she felt it was wrong. Sighing she gripped on of the legs and rotated it until she heard a pop. Revolted she picked up her scapel and cut along the lose skin and then pulled the leg off and placed the leg in the tray and moved onto the second leg. After rotating it until the pop she picked up her scapel once again and cut along the lose skin and pulled the leg off and began placing it in the tray but that didnt happen. Her hand holding the leg just froze over the tray. She wasnt moving nor did it appear like she was blinking.

Something strange was definitely going on this year. But before Silvia could really take the time to ponder what, the lesson continued. She looked down at the dead plimpy. This is going to be disgusting, she thought. Picking up the scalpel, she cast a quick scourgify on it. Her gloves were already on. Slowly and carefully, she placed the end of the scalpel on the indicated area and made the incision. She removed the fin and dropped it into the tray, and repeated the process until all the fins had been removed.

Now for the next part. Taking a deep breath, Silvia took hold of one of the legs and slowly twisted it, averting her eyes a bit away from the icky creature, until she heard the pop. She did the same with the other leg, then removed them and placed them in the tray. She hoped the end of class would come quickly; she didn't think it was safe to be around Professor Lafay for long when she was in such a bad mood, not to mention she wanted to get away from these freaky bulging eyed fish thingies plimpies

As Mordred finished cutting off the fins, he moved to the next step which was to rotate the leg of the Plimpy until it pops. He placed his scalpel down near his work tray and placed his left hand on top of the fin-less plimpy and held the leg with his right thumb and index finger. He rotated it and heard a small popping sound, like a tiny bone snapping. He then held the frog leg with his left hand, and started to cut around the loose skin around it with the scalpel in his right hand. After a clean incision, he gently pulled the leg and placed it on the now empty work tray on his right.

He did the same steps on the other leg until the Plimpy looked like a fish. He placed the scalpel down on his table and removed his gloves. He got his notebook out again and quickly wrote down the steps that he did earlier as he waited for Lafay’s next instruction.

Dissection. Awesome! Aurora adjusted her gloves, making sure they were on properly, and picked up her scalpel. She cast a cleaning charm over it and watched Professor Lafay before peering at her own plimpy and carefully making a cut under the scales near a fin. She removed it and placed it on the tray. It disappeared. She repeated the process for the rest of the fins carefully, making and effort to remove them as neatly as possible which wasn't easy when her brain was this tired.

Rotate the legs, right. Aurora watched the professor closely, taking hold of one of the legs and copying her. She heard the little pop and the leg felt looser. Huh, weird. She took her scalpel and gently cut the skin so that the leg came off in her hand. She put the leg down gently on the tray and turned the plimpy round so that she could repeat the process. Okay. Done. That was right... wasn't it? She hoped so.

Well...that was quite the performance he witnessed...
He even calmed down shaking his head in disbelief at Nate's mention of the orb again. Oakey had yet to see it aside from the sketch Nate made last year.
Hmmph if Mordy wasn't going to recognize his terror of Lafay (he probably even idolized the evil lady, being his head of house and all). Then he would look to see how Minerva was doing. He gave his best friend a disapproving glance and turned his attention to the dead plimpy at his table. Putting on his gloves he took his wand out and cast Scourgify on his scalpel. He then picked up the plimpy and laid it flat in his right hand while his left hand cut into the scales around the plimpy's fins. Oakey removed them carefully and placed them into the ingredient tray.

Now to dislocate it's icky little legs. Oakey picked it up by it's right leg first and started spinning it widely as Lafay had instructed almost smacking Mordy in the face and maybe flicking some slime in his direction. He heard it pop and picked up his scalpel once more and cut around the skin of it's legs and placed the first leg in his ingredient tray.

Moving on to the one legged, finless plimpy's next leg Oakey widely spun it in his opposite hand flicking some slime to the row in front of him. Hitting whoever sat in front of him with some slime on their back. He took his scalpel once more and repeated the cutting process, then placed this leg into the tray that was now missing the previous leg.

Cool, time to get started! Sophie quickly grabbed her scalpel and watched as professor Lafay made the incision. Eeeeeeek!

With her gloved hands, Sophie held the Plimpy steady and started working, immitating professor Lafay as well as possible. She carefully removed all the fins from the fish-frog and placed them in the tray. Staring at them for a while, Sophie smiled when they actually disappeared from the tray! Cool!

And now... Wha? Aaaargh! That was gross! Did they really have to do that with the Plimpy's legs? Ugh! Sophie wrinkled her nose and loooked down at the dead plimpy in front of her. Merlin, that would be nasty... she slowly rotated one of the legs until it... popped out. UUUGH!! Now it was just hanging there by the skin. She quickly cut that bit of the skin and placed the leg on the tray as well. She did the same thing again with the other leg.

Eek. It couldn't get worse than that! She didn't mind the smily bit, really, but that leg popping out... BLARGH!

Oops. He forgot to whisper. Whispering is what kept him OUT of trouble. "Um... why... um... thank you, Professor," he managed, the confidence he held when he first entered the classroom hardly evident within him, now. Although he was still hot. He was alwayssss hot.

But, she also got a bit snappy with Vickers and Elijah felt guilty about that. Afterall, it had been him who spoke to Vickers. He mouthed an apology in Vickers general direction. Despite the fact Elijah had set out to use him originally, he actually quite liked the 'Claw.

He watched on as Lafay sent a bolt of freakin' LIGHTNING at the Huffie Prefect's feet! Was this woman insane!?. Before the bolt could reach the boy, he had started moving again. What on Earth was going on with him!?

Well, that was when Vickers provided him and the rest of the class with a rather worrying solution...



In response to Vickers' outburst about it being a PESTILENCE, Elijah jumped behind the workbench on the other side, getting him further away from the Prefect. Elijah was too good looking to know the definition of such words like pestilence, but it HAD to be bad considering the way Vickers was moving further and further away and covering his face.



"You are sure you don't have anything?" Elijah asked the boy, his words muffled by his hand clasped over his mouth. "Are you willing to bet every galleon you own on that? What you were just doing was not normal behaviour."



A few things happened next and Elijah was pretty certain that at this point the entire potions class he thought he had been in was obviously nothing but a dream. Professor Lafay had ACTUALLY just squirted a girl in the face with water. Isn't that considered abuse? Are Professors allowed to do that? He wanted to play the knight in shining armour and ask her if she was okay and maybe even flash her one of his smiles, but he was scared he may meet the same feat, so decided to remain where he was.

And apparently the Prefect's conveniently timed movements before the Professor's bolt of lightning had grown her suspicions of a prank. Had the whole thing been a prank, then? Had Elijah just been played? He was too pretty to be PLAYED by such unattractive people!

But, he had saw Professor Williamson suffer from the same thing? Surely the boy wouldn't be taking the mick out of that? He was a prefect, he had to be respectful.

Elijah took a moment to glance behind him and take the boy in. He seemed okay now... Maybe a little disappointed at the fact he had been called to Lafay's office. At this point in time the most attractive boy at Hogwarts just had no CLUE what to believe anymore.

WAS IT A PLAGUE OR WAS IT A PRANK?!



Well, despite everything that had just occurred in the last ten minutes, class seemed to be getting back on track. Personally, Elijah had preferred it when people were freezing all about the place that way he didn't have to dissect this plimpy.

GULP.

He could barely watch as the Professor demonstrated, and found it even more difficult to see Vickers doing it because it was so close to him. He really couldn't do this. Hot people like him shouldn't have to.

"UM, Professor. Me and Vickers are just going to share a bimpy. That way we can help each other, uh, learn better and do a good ole' team effort," and then he won't have to actually cut up the thing himself and could just watch Vickers do it all.

Perfect.

Oichi's mouth dropped as she heard the professor say a student had passed out and it was another student who did it. It was not her but the ordeal was still rather stressful. She was glad when the professor finally decided. Yes, disgusting creature dissection was a lot better then scary professor class investigation. She listened to the prissies next set of instructions and watched her demonstrate them. She then took out her wand and pointed it over her scalpel, "Scourgify", and the scalpel was clean. She then with gloved hands picked it up and carefully cut the gills off her plimpy. She then cringed as she started to turn the leg as the professor demonstrated and spread the legs wide and then heard a pop and cringed even harder. She paused for a moment to calm down and then picked up her scalpel and cut the gross froggie legs off her plimpie. She then waited for the next instructions which she was sure would be just as fun of the rest of the instructions had been thus far, ick!

This class was different than others and that made it FUN!!!

While the others freaked out over the dead creatures and got themselves threatened with detention or else by the Potions Woman, Lea had been examining her creature poking it with a finger repeatedly. It felt slimey and slightly cold, just like a dead fish. Well...it was a fish with legs anyway.

When finally the time for the activity come, which was the moment Lea had been waiting for as she could not wait to see what was inside the fish with legs, the Gryffindor girl looked up at the professor and watched her carefully without even blinking. And once she heard that she could do, she quickly put her gloves on and took the scalpel after quickly scourgifying it.

Like the professor did, she made the cuts by the fins, carefully by each of them and she seemed quite enthusiastic as she did so. She could not find the opportunity to examine a creature and cut it into pieces to get ingredients like that anyway. Then she practically tore all the fins off the the plimpy's body and threw them into her tray.

Now it was the leg's turn. Grabbing the leg without a slightest hesitation, she started to have fun rotaing it.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey....

Bwahahaha...

Grayson finished making his notes, after everything was settled and picked up his gloves to get to work. After slipping them on, he picked up the scalpel and wiped it on his hand cloth.

Reaching for the plimpy, he realized it was a bit slippery but he held it carefully so as to not damage any of the parts. Making the incision, slowly, under the scales fins, Grayson began removing the fins. He took off the right one first before turning over the plimpy and repeating the process. He turned in time to see the fins disappear.

He moved to rotate the right leg until he felt it pop out before he, wiped his scalpel and cut through the skin. Placing the leg down, he did the same to the other leg.

Sierra smirked in amusement. Bravo, Professor Lafay, for that beautiful performance. She loved it when Lafay showed her fangs. Well, unless those fangs were being shown to her. Smirk still in place, she slid on her gloves and reached for her scalpel. Wand in her other hand, she aimed it toward the scalpel and said, "Scourgify!" With the scalpel now clean, she used it to cut an incision under the scales by the fins. Next, she carefully removed all the fins from the creature's body and placed them into the tray.

*poof*

Even though she'd been warned, Sierra blinked when the ingredients suddenly disappeared. Funny how magic worked out sometimes. Turning back to her plimpy, Sierra began to rotate one of the legs until she heard a snap. She cut away the loose skin and then turned to the other leg. In a matter of moments, it was off, as well.

...and then she felt it.

SLIME.

Who. In. The. Name. Of. Merlin. Had. A. Death. Wish.

She turned around, quite slowly all thanks to the slime, and glared at the Puffer sitting behind her. "In the tray," she snapped. "She said to put the ingredients in--..."

...but then she just froze...

...glare in place, staring right at the Puffer. Nothing at all moved on her body. Her eyes didn't blink. Her arms and legs didn't move at all.

She was just...well, frozen in place.

Now Lafay was back in her dark mood, apparently the actions of whatever or whoever had made Lewis freeze, not to mention what other students were saying and doing was pushing her over the age. Gideon felt bad for the Hufflepuff prefect, pretty sure it wasn't his doing and also pretty sure the professor in her office wasn't going to be any nicer then she was now. Hearing the mention of Vindictus as a tired old man sent a curious eyebrow to his face, however he pushed it aside for fear of getting any residual anger aimed his way.

Okay...now back to the actual lesson.

Gideon slipped on his gloves as directed, picking up his scalpel in his left hand and wand in his other. "Scourgify..." he cast at the knife, cleaning it properly. Once that was done, he went to work on making the various incisions that were required of them. One fin...two fin...the Gryffindor repeating the process until they were all cut from the plimpy and placed on the tray. The pieces vanishing just as Lafay mentioned and heading to storage.

Dad would probably love that trick.

The next step wasn't the most humane but then again they were already dead so it wasn't gonna hurt them. "Scourgify," he cast on his knife again for good measure before setting about twisting the first leg. When it popped, Gideon took his scapel and cut through the plimpy's skin, separating leg from body. Putting it on the tray as well, he moved to repeat the whole process again on the letter leg. Eventually the task was complete and the second leg vanished to storage and the prefect was ready to await the next task whenever Professor Lafay moved them on.

It was probably a good thing that Kurumi didn't see Jonathan reaching for her because it probably would have caused her heart to stop beating or something. At least a gasp. Physical contact, even the anticipation of it, with Jonathan was something that Kurumi was not expecting to ever have again. Then again, she never thought that she would be sitting right next to him in class...working together. So, no, she did not notice his movements and had finished what she was doing.

Her trembling paused for a brief moment when she heard him speak, her eyes blinking in utter disbelief. His first words to her in months...right there...had been advice...comforting... and she was clearly reading way too much into this. Kurumi bit down on her lower lip, chewing it absently, and turned her gaze away from him and towards the plimpy as he began to do the next step.

Try shaking your hands for awhile...

Which is exactly what Kurumi ended up doing. She shook both her hands at ones, breathing in and out deeply and slowly as she did in attempt to calm her racing heartbeat. She had done it though, taken the first step and had done it properly...hopefully.

The plimpy did look a little ridiculous like that, both its legs out of its sockets and what not. The good thing, for Kurumi at least, was that it was beginning to look less and less like a creature and more like...nothing at all really. Kurumi picked up the scalpel and scooted a little closer to Jonathan - she DID need to be closer to the plimpy for this next bit and seeing as it was closer to his side of the station it only made sense. Her hands were still trembling slightly and she caught his eyes looking at them. "I...I'm okay," she whispered, not actually looking at him as she did and instead slowly inserted the blade into the plimpy and carefully removed its legs and set them on the tray, watching them vanish after a few seconds into storage.

He rubbed his gloved hands together happy to be done with his task when Sierra..who just so happened to be the person in front of him (how lucky) began yelling at him. Confused as to why Sierra was barking at him he pointed at himself and looked around. What'd I do? He asked, but she just seemed to stop. Uhhhh...Hello? Oakey leaned forward Uuuuuh HEEEEEELLLLOOOO? Still nothing, so he waved his hand in front of her face. He should try calling her name, who was she? OH RIGHT the Minister's daughter and Lafay's stepdaughter, Sierra

...

...

...


THE MINISTER'S DAUGHTER and LAFAY'S STEPDAUGHTER!
He gave a quick and nervous glance forward at the Potions Mistress, he wasn't going to be blamed for this was he?!?!

MERLIN! HOLD ONTO YOU'RE TIME TURNER! LEWIS FROZE JUST LIKE THIS MOMENTS AGO! He quickly stood up knocking his chair back. What if Vickers was right!?!?! What if there was a plague going around in the class right now!?!?!?! OOOoooooooooh he was going to get it next for sure!

Nigel was already done and was watching everybody else finish. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw Oakey accidently toss some slime from his plimpy onto the person in front of him.

Uh-Oh it was the Slytherin Prefect that got slimed and boy did she look angry. But just when it looked like she was going to yell at Oakey, she froze just like the Hufflepuff prefect. This can't be good. Nigel had to think about whether he should raise his hand and tell Lafay about the Slytherin Prefect.

Then Nigel saw that Oakey was trying to help the Slytherin Prefect too. He was yelling at her to try and unfreeze her. So maybe Nigel should help.

Oh why not, Nigel raised and waved his hand saying "PROFESSOR, PROFESSOR, The Slytherin Prefect just froze exactly like the Hufflepuff Prefect did"

Oichi noticed from other students that she forgot to put the frog legs in the pan and quickly did and saw them disappear and her eyes popped open. Suddenly she heard yet another student froze and her popped open even wider. This could not be coincidence. Something was up and she hoped that she would not be the next victim and perhaps the professor may let the class go cause this place did not seem safe, especially since the professor did not even know why students were suddenly, freezing, Eeeeeeek!!!!

Ok... time to get started for real now...

Lily slipped on her gloves before looking up and watching the professor's example. This section was definitely going to be different...and possibly more difficult. Once it was time to go, Lily slipped off one glove, grabbed her wand, and cleaned the scalpel before putting her wand away and putting her glove back on. Careful now... The second year carefully cut under the scales by the fins, just as the professor had shown, only slower. Once the fin had been removed, she placed it in the tray...where it disappeared...Oh...right... The professor had said that they would disappear. She continued to do the same with all the other fins before...

The Slytherin prefect froze too!!!

This was creepy... and a bit much for the twelve year old. So instead of staring, she did her best to finish with this step of the class. Slowly, she rotated a leg... cringing every few seconds in anticipation of a pop. Once she heard the pop, she used the scalpel to carefully cut away the loose skin before putting the leg gross... into the tray. Now for the other leg... same process as before......

And don't stare at the Slytherin prefect...

Sarassi yawned the Professor was sure moody today. Taking her gloves she slipped them on and picked up her scapal and cleaned it Scourgify! Looking at the Plimpy she cut an incision under the scales by the fins and took the fins off. She repeated the cut for each of the other fins and places each one into the tray as she took it off. Now time for the legs...She grabbed one of the other legs and rotated it until the popping soung. Smiling she placed it into the tray and then did the same for the other. Hearing that the Slytherin Prefet was forzen she turned around to see which one...Oh wow wasnt she like Professor Lafay's step daughter. Turning to her sister she said Wow this is crazy! Notcing her sister didnt place the leg into the tray she said Nerida, Nerida? You there? Freaked out she turned to the Professor and said I think we have another frozen one over here!!!!!!! Nerida was frozen!! Was she frozen forever!?! Dont panic Sarassi!! Stay clam!

Mordred almost jumped out of his skin when he heard the clanging of the chair hitting the cold dungeon floor. He looked up from his notes and spun around to see Oakey standing up and was obviously panicking. What now? If he was going to tell that his Plimpy moved or something he might just smack him with it and get on with removing the fins and legs of the creature. The problem is, Oakey was done with the procedure as he saw that the Plimpy on his work tray was finless and legless.

“Oakey, why in the—“ he was caught mid-sentence as he looked from him then to the person in front of Oakey who was apparently not moving, just like the Hufflepuff Prefect. This time it was Sierra. “Oh.”

If Mordred had a medal bearing the words “Unluckiest Person”, he would have given it to Oakey right away. Mordred stayed in his seat and looked at their Head of House, to Sierra and then to Oakey. If his observation’s right—whoever was behind this, was obviously attacking the Prefects and most likely the Professors too.

Wow it was crazy in there. The Hufflepuff Prefect froze. She began to work on her plimpy. When all of a suddent the Slytherin Prefect froze.. Taking a deep breath she returned to her work and put her gloves on and manualy cleaned her scapel. She cutted under the scales near one of the fins and took it off. Still pretty shaken it up she placed it on the tray and watched as it disapered. She then did the same for the remaining fins. Onwards to the legs , tkaing one of the legs in her hand she rotated it to the point it poped, like it was supposed to. She cut the thin layer of skin and placed it on the tray soon the leg disappered. She then did the same for the remaining leg. Hearing Nerida had been frozen. She quickly turned around to face her friend. It was probablly bad she was more concerned about her friend then the Slytherin Prefect. Nerida!! Eep this was bad! Very bad! Two people frozen!!

"Yes Professor... Yes professor..." she said in a mocking tone. "And you a prefect..."

The little snitch was mumbling to the Plimpy... Oh for Merlin's sakes... "Potter, even if the creature was still alive, it wouldn't be able to understand you."

Dolt...

Hecate went over to the child and took the girl's plimpy in her hands, very roughly she twisted the leg and the pop was heard. She handed it back to the girl and said "Be rougher with it. Harvest the leg, and then do the other."

"Plimpy." She said shaking her head. "And fine... if you wish to share... share..."

She was just about to scold Sierra for losing her cool... when she froze. "Miss Greingoth..." She said and when the girl didn't answer she said "Prefect Greingoth!" But the girl was not answering...

"Prefect Greingoth, I do not find. This. Funny!" She said now really losing her patience... But she knew Sierra... Sierra would never play a prank on her. Never... Sierra knew first hand Lafay's wrath...

"WHO DID THIS!!!" She yelled at the class. "Who cast on my..." she seemed to think about the word she was going to use. "... on my prefect!"

She closed her eyes and said calmly. "I can SEE that!"

She was not a happy camper.

"Hufflepuffs, if you are loyal to your prefect, you'll tell me who did this... Ravenclaws, if you are smart and don't wish to lose points, you'll tell me, Gryffindors, if you are just, and true you will be brave enough to tell me, and Slytherins... if you are ambitious enough to keep first place on the points board, you'll tell me... Ten points for whoever tatles on the person who cast the spell!"
