Hecate had finished setting up her classroom. The tables and chairs were there but the burners were not there. Instead, in their place was a slimey... wet creature, which had the body of a fish and the legs of a frog which just happened to be tied together. A box of tools being used as propping the creature up a bit...
This may be a hard class.
Oh well... maybe they'd like it or maybe... don't really care...
ooc: This class will stay open for at least 72 hours (probably more.) Also thanks to Antarctica! for taking the picture of the Potions Classroom for me at the WWoHP, and to Ameh for makin it into a pretty graphic!
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!"
Wow seeing Prefect Sierra frozen really heated up Professor Lafay so much she hadnt even noticed the forzen Nerida. None the less she said Maybe no one is casting the spell maybe it was the orb like everyone was talking about...A lot of people have been freezing...Like Kurumi...And Nerida did in the library like she is now... Yeap she added that part just for giggles. She knew she would probablly get yelled at for suggesting the orb but it seemed like the thing everyone was suggesting..

Somewhere in the back of her mind, Sierra could hear Professor Lafay yelling at the class. Yet, the Slytherin prefect was still frozen, GLARING at Oakey Gunther, just as she had been when her body first froze. What a way to be a frozen--giving someone a death glare. A death glare from Sierra Greingoth.

Who did it?!
"He did it," Sierra accused, hearing that last question just as she randomly unfroze. Her finger was pointing right at Oakey Gunter, a mere foot from his face. She was sitting in front of him, after all. "Oakey Gunter slung the slime from his plimpy on the back of my head, and when I turned to face him, I..." Wait. What did happen? She didn't even recall what happened when she'd turned around. The last thing she remembered was Professor's Lafay's voice sounding in the distance, and then she heard that last question about someone...well, doing something. "Whatever happened, happened when Gunter slung his plimpy slime on the back of my head..."
You're gonna get it, Puffer Boy. If not from the professor, then from ME.
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."
Annabelle heard the first set of professor's instruction. She figured out the problem with the Professor's help. Belle took the plimpy's leg and twisted it harder, used more strength and it popped! "Wow i am glad it worked!" she said quietly to herself. She did it to all the other legs and was finished. She waited for the next set of instructions from the professor.
Then when she looked up, she saw a Slytherin was frozen. "Uh oh..." Belle thought to herself. Belle looked down and examined her plimpy a bit more. She didn't know who was doing this. All she knew that whoever fessed up, would be in big trouble. She got our her notes and took down what she did so far.
Nate was listening to all the comments again until he heard the Slytherin Prefect's comment. Oh no! She did not just blame Oakey. Now things are going down! Just like a Slytherin. Devious and sly Nate thought. Nate raised his hand and said "Professor. Oakey wouldn't do that on purpose. I know him, and it was probably just an accident. Anyways he's nice and loyal, so that proves he didn't do it on purpose. Anyways how do we know that she wasn't faking it just to get attention?" Case closed.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!
Ella watched, in shock, as Professor Lafay kind of lost it. She wanted people to tattle on someone for freezing the prefects?! But what if no one had done it? It seemed people were just freezing like this all over the castle! And that Sierra girl...GLARE. She was accusing Oakey? OAKEY? No way, jose. Oakey would not do something like that even if Sierra seemed like a big meany. He just had bad luck. Poor Oakey. Ella made a mental note to return his lucky shamrock to him if they made it out of this class alive. *GULP*
Sophie was sitting quietly on her spot when another commotion started. The Slytherin Prefect froze this time? Weird... oh, and she had already unfroze... she was even speaking already and-
HUH??? She was blaming Oakey??? Why?? Sophie knew Oakey would never do such a thing, even if he was really mad, which was not the case, apparently. She looked nervously from the Slytherin prefect to her housemate, then to professor Lafay. She would say something to defend Oakey but she just COULDN'T. It was LAFAY, for Merlin's sake!! Sophie could easily see the woman making them all look like those plimpies they were working with...
Oh, dear... poor Oakey! Hopefully he wouldn't get in trouble for this!
Okay, maybe she should have left when the professor said they could. Aside from how disgusting cutting apart a dead plimpy was, things were getting crazier by the minute. Now they had another prefect down, and Professor Lafay seemed convinced that somebody was pulling a prank. But Silvia had an inkling that there might be something more serious than that going on. After all, who in the world would even dare to do something like this under Professor Lafay's nose? Especially twice on a day where she was clearly already having issues. There was something strange going on and at this rate, it didn't seem like they would actually finish the lesson today.
But just like the one or two other students she saw this happen to, the Slytherin Prefect seemed to come back to herself a few moments later. The young Ravenclaw was trying to figure out what all this meant and what was really going on, but her mind came up empty of answers. So she felt it best to keep her mouth shut and not risk losing points by throwing out a guess. She didn't think Professor Lafay would appreciated guesses right now. All she could think of was that this had to be related to what was happening to the professors, it had to be. It was too unusual to be a coincidence.

Oakey closed his eyes hard as Lafay began fuming with rage at the freezing of her prefect. Right maybe if he just pretended that he was never here nothing bad will happen. He reached inside his robe and grabbed onto the scarab charm Mordy gave him and began rubbing it frantically.

You're gonna get it, Puffer Boy. If not from the professor, then from ME.
Then just as quickly did Sierra freeze did she unfreeze, and started accusing Oakey of flinging slime at her! He never even recalled doing that, he was just doing as Lafay had instructed. He cut the fins and twisted the legs until they popped from their sockets. Wait! had slime flung itself off of the plimpy as he was working on the last step!
He looked around scared half to death of speaking up. He had to say something before Lafay or Sierra ate him...or maybe they both will?
still standing up in his spot with Sierra's finger now just a foot from him face. He back up some more until he bumped into his fallen chair and almost fell over himself. Oakey just began stammering loudly desperatly trying to defend himself of this accusation. I-I...It-It-wasn't...I-I mean I didn't mean...bu-but she said it couldn't...wha-what ab-about his finger shakily pointed to Lewis who had frozen moment ago, if he was the prankster he would have had to hit Lewis with plimpy slime, but the Puff Prefect was rows away from him. Then he continued stuttering in fear. I-It wa-was an-an-an accid-accident.
Oh Merlin, if Lafay wasn't going to use him in her next potion after protecting Roro from her evil ways. This would most certainly be the next best way for it to happen.
Was everyone looking at him now? Way to blend into class Oakey.

---
"An orb? What are you talking about? A bludger must have hit you in the head! Vindictus froze because he's a tired old man..."
Woops...
She shouldn't have said that out loud...
Ok...
Back to the lesson.
"Alright, if you are quite finished having your fun... let's return to the plimpies." She put on her gloves. "Gloves on. Take your scalpel, clean it, and cut an incision under the scales by the fins." She demonstrated on the floating creature. "You then remove all the fins from the body, and place them in your tray. Don't worry when they disappear, they are being placed in the ingredients storage." She said waving a slimey gloved hand.
"Now, you will want to rotate the legs one at a time, widely, until you hear them pop out of the sockets, then you may cut along the lose skin, pull the legs off and put them in your tray." As she did so, she looked at the class. "You try now."
During all the commotion and him doing his best to IGNORE all the annoyances in the room, Dylan did manage to hear Lafay say something about the Quidditch guy being an old man.
FINALLY! Someone else was voicing his thoughts...It was a wonder the guy had managed to stay on a broom for as long as he had. Yes, it was very impressive and what not...but he didn't have to show off anymore. They got the point.
He was THE MAN and blah, blah, blah...
Relieved that they were finally directing the mayhem back to the lesson, the Slytherin picked up his wand and the silver scalpel in already gloved hands. Performing a quick "Scourgify!" on the tiny weapon instrument, he set to work. He went under the scales as she had demonstrated, carefully working to remove each fin from the Plimpy's corpse.
One by one, they were moved to the tray and vanished off. Thinking that was a neat concept that he'd think further on after class, he continued the process. After a few minutes, Dylan had finished with the many fins and set the scalpel to the side.
Now to dislocate these legs...
Lafay had said to do them one at a time...So, grasping the first one, he began slowly rotating the thing...
He was moving slowly...but Dylan was just dedicated on doing this correctly.
Seriously. The woman was already BEYOND angry...

..........or so he thought...
*BLINK*
Someone...had cast against...Sierra?
*BLINK BLINK BLINK*
Eying his Head of House a bit fearfully...and taking in her tone...The Slytherin knew this wasn't good. There was NOTHING good that could come when proceeded by that tone...
But...as an afterthought...
Setting the leg down, Dylan reached for his wand.
Merlin help whoever tried to pull this mess on him. MERLIN HELP THEM!

Huh...
Sierra was...okay? Glancing at her, he heard the older girl blaming that...Oakey kid or whatever his name was. Staring for a moment, he took in the guys appearance. A Hufflepuff.
Pfft.
Feeling frustrated, Dylan had about had it with this unnecessary weirdness. NOTHING MADE SENSE if a Hufflepuff had enough guts to do this in Lafay's class. NOTHING.

Kurumi had just set the scalpel down and was about to offer Jonathan a small smile out thanks when Professor Lafay exploded again and her head snapped to the front. Wait, what? Sierra had frozen too? Hadn't that...happened...wait, no, she had only heard about it. Maybe...her memory was fuzzy these days so it made little sense.
Her eyes went towards Sierra. No one in their right mind would cast a spell at Sierra during a lesson, especially a Lafay lesson.

Kurumi's attention spun around to the younger lion who was accusing her of freezing. WHAT was she talking about?! Jaw hanging open slightly, Kurumi simply stared at the girl and shook her head as she leaned over the table just a bit. "Narumi, what are you talking about? I've never fro------"
Kurumi's forward movement came to a sudden stop, but it was not enough to stop her statue-like body from moving forward a bit more and she fell in such a way that she was leaning against his shoulder with all her weight so she was quite literally leaning against him for support. Kurumi's eyes were looking straight head, mouth still open in midsentence, and nothing about her was moving.
Nothing.

ACK! Kurumi was yelling at her about accusing her of freezing and then bam she froze!! Oh no! Not Kurumi too! So now Nerida and Kurumi are frozen! This is not good! Looking around she poked Nerida telling her wake up get unfrozen!! Oh!! Professor, I dont like this! She was a first year if her parents learned that people were freezing at Hogwarts she would be out of there in a jiffy!
After the whole Oakey incident Kennedy returned his attention back to Lafay. Fiiiinally, back to work. He put his gloves on and took out his wand and cleaned the scalpel with a quick Scourgify. He followed as instructed and made an incision under the scale by the fin on the plimpy. He then removed the fins and placed them on his tray, and watched them disappear. He followed the next instructions and made a face at the popping sound. Ewww.
Kennedy was once again distracted when students began saying that...
Sierra?!
His head spun faster than a rolling pin. His eyes wide just stared at her while his hands gripped the back of the chair tightly. What was going on?! Only, that THIS worried him. It was Sierra that had frozen now. As soon as Lafay threatened to take off points though Sierra came back to her senses and...pointed at that puffer boy.
"He did what?!" he said, already fixing a glare upon the kid.
What! Kurumi froze, and another slytherin prefect is blaming Oakey. "Oakey didn't do it I tell you. Well he flung slime, but that was on accident. Anyways how could slime freeze smeone?" He said to the other slytherin prefect.

Narumi yelled in the Huffie's defense Plus! Kurumi and Nerida didnt get hit with slime and they both froze! She didnt even know the puff and she was defending him. It would be a shame if the Professor didnt understand the logic.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory watched in astonishment at the scene playing out in class. What in the world was going on here? Oakey throwing some slimey thing? Jory didn't think Oakey would do something like that. The Puff didn't know anything about slime or the freezing so he kept his mouth shut.

He glanced at his Potions partner woefully. Was he gonna help him out? Or make him do all the work? Admitedly theres a side to Vickers that, despite being so heartbroken about harvesting from a corpse, he still wants it done with utmost care and respect and precision. The Ravenclaw side to him see? But he nodded at the Hufflepuff silently, he can help whichever definition of help that was during the process and.... Vickers can leave him to clean up later. Heh.
But now several people were yelling, culminating in the grand, terrifying holler from Lafay. Sierra froze? What did Oakey do? Then Sierra started moving again-- just like Lewis!
Oh but wait "Slime?" his repeated eyes wide in palpable fear between Oakey and Sierra, finally resting on the now seething Slytherin Prefect. With a shaky gloved hand he points and utters "bodily-fluid contact."
Then his eyes goes straight to Lewis. Yes he has now known the painful truth about him and Kurumi, having given no validity to a gossip rag but my how his opinion have changed about it now. Eyes goes to the Gryffindor Prefect, just as someone yells out about Kurumi experiencing habitual freezing just as they were all witnessing now. And as if that weasnt enough, Kurumi freezes RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES "Body fluid contact..." he repeated again. "Williamson could've gotten in from Roro, or the many animals in his care... this could be a water-borne disease, even moisture in the air-- spreads around the grounds-- that would explain why Professor Vindictus got it too." he said, in an eerily calm voice but one cant mistake the SHEER TERROR that is just shaking with every word.
His eyes returns now to Professor Lafay "Professor, do you still think this is a prank? Isnt it more logical, given the evidences happening right NOW, that we are in the midst of an outbreak? Right now in your classroom, with all of us in here? With Plimpies from the LAKE cut up and open and exposed in such a confined environment? he wants to drop in a fetal position and just CRY, so terrified now that he is seeing DEATH in the EYE. But no not before asking for his ONE HOPE "Can you administer that potion now please? I dont want to get what they've got. I want to graduate from Hogwarts. I want to live "

And another prefect down. And hadn't something happened to the Gryffindor prefect in an earlier class as well? This was starting to get creepy, and Silvia was normally more curious than creeped out by these kinds of things. It was like some of the students were being petrified, not just body, but mind as well, as none of them seemed to remember anything. Who would be next to fall under this curse, if that's what it was? Was there anything they could do? It seemed like even the professors had no idea what was going on. This didn't seem like anything a student would be capable of causing, so what exactly was it? What person or thing was going around Hogwarts causing this mess, and was it currently here in this room or elsewhere? All of these questions were running through Silvia's head over and over, the plimpy lying forgotten on the table in from of her. They had to do something. There had to be some way to stop all of this. But what?

Alyssa looked up from what she was doing when she heard Sierra accuse Oakey of sliming her and then in a blink of an eye, Sierra was frozen. She could see Professor Lafay getting more and more angry by the minute to the point that she was actually offering to give house points to anyone who would tell her who the culprit was.
She knew that it couldn't be Oakey. Oakey may have the worst luck in the world but he wouldn't do something like this. Then she recalled what happened to the other people who had recently frozen. They seemed to be the same people who had touched that mysterious orb last term. Alyssa would have offered that piece of information to Professor Lafay if she thought that Professor Lafay would believe her, but somehow she had a feeling that the Professor would end up accusing her of what was happening now.
So Alyssa kept quiet but made it a point to keep an eye on whoever else ended up like Sierra and the rest.

...SERIOUSLY?
Someone ELSE was freezing?
Eying the Gryffindor prefect meanly, Dylan rolled his eyes. Why did that girl always have to be at the center of everything? Honestly...It was like she was the MECCA of all trouble. Her and her Hufflepuff.
Then there was another girl shouting...Had Professor Lafay's class turned into a big joke to everyone? Did they have any respect? Honestly...If something's going on with you, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF AND DON'T DRAW ATTENTION. Fall down quietly or something...
In the Slytherin's aggravation, words left his lips before he even got the chance to think about them. "I think Cookie Girl is faking it...just like her Hufflepuff boyfriend was."
...LUCKILY it was said more to himself than anyone else...and hardly understandable in the complete chaos, he knew. Although he did add "Attention seekers." rather loudly.

"Williamson could've gotten in from Roro, or the many animals in his care... this could be a water-borne disease, even moisture in the air-- spreads around the grounds-- that would explain why Professor Vindictus got it too." he said, in an eerily calm voice but one cant mistake the SHEER TERROR that is just shaking with every word.
His eyes returns now to Professor Lafay "Professor, do you still think this is a prank? Isnt it more logical, given the evidences happening right NOW, that we are in the midst of an outbreak? Right now in your classroom, with all of us in here? With Plimpies from the LAKE cut up and open and exposed in such a confined environment? he wants to drop in a fetal position and just CRY, so terrified now that he is seeing DEATH in the EYE. But no not before asking for his ONE HOPE "Can you administer that potion now please? I dont want to get what they've got. I want to graduate from Hogwarts. I want to live "
Vicky was trying to REASON with Lafay?
*face palm*
This class was a disaster.
HE WANTED OUT!!

Theodore facepalmed his head when someone else got frozen. This was getting ridiculous now. He stood there with his scalpel and slimy gloves still sliming.
Sighing extremely loudly, Theo watched as the prefect started accusing that Oakey kid. MUAHAHA.
Theo didn't like him much so he'd go along with that.
Ten points to whoever tattles?
He fought the temptation to say it was Oakey, too.
FIGHT IT, THEODORE. FIGHT IT. "I think it was the Hufflepuff, too." OH SNAP.
Sorry, those points were too tempting.

When Nate heard another Slytherin say it was Oakey he shot a glare at him. "It wasn't Oakey! How many time do I have to say it to gt i-" He then took a deep breath in. "Never mind. But anyways it wasn't him. There are two theorys. One it's just contamination from the elements or it's that orb."

DID THE PROFESSOR REALLY JUST SHOOT HER WITH WATER!?!?! Just for a simple suggestion? Emmanuelle had half a mind just to storm out of the class and straight up to the headmaster's office. But nope, she figured that's what Mrs. Water-shooting Professor WANTED her to do. Which meant she wasn't going to do that. Nope. Instead, Emmanuelle 'forgot' this was a class and stopped paying attention, choosing to use the time to wring out her hair and cast a drying charm on herself. She also made a mental note of who had laughed at her soaking wet state, just so she would know who to 'accidentally' trip the next time she saw them in the hallway.
And then utter chaos seemed to hit. First, it was the Slytherin prefect getting smacked with slime. Then, the Gryffindor prefect seemingly following the example of her Hufflepuff counterpart. WHAT KIND OF CRAZY SCHOOL WAS THIS?!?! And the mean professor was asking them again who did it. And the words flew out of her mouth before she could stop them. "How do we know it's not you doing it, professor?" OH CRAP!

Dale was trying so hard. SO HARD. He had only cut up his plimpy a little bit, but this class was serving as too distracting. Although... what he was trying hard to do was NOT the plimpy-carving. No. He was fighting the laughter that lurked behind his lips.
First though, he looked thoughtful at what the professor had said. "Aren't Hufflepuffs meant to be the just and true ones?" he mused out loud, and everyone else was choosing this time to erupt into chaos so he figured he wouldn't get into too much trouble.
And then the chaos really DID start.
The prefect freezing, the sliiiiime, the professor totally losing her nut.
Dale burst into gales of laughter. The prefects, they just looked SO FUNNY when they froze like that. Everyone throwing around accusations, his fellow Hufflepuff getting all het up when others were picking on him. He wasn't laughing meanly, it was just... he hadn't had much reason to smile in a while, so this situation, whilst weird as... well... weird as ANYTHING... was just SO FUNNY.
Especially when the prefects froze in mid-word.
And the students seemed desperate enough for those 10 points to find SOMEONE to blame.
And the professor really living up to the legend of her secretly being a dragon.
The indignation of the girl who was splached with water and her accusation directed at Lafay.
He even laughed at the totally unfair prospect of Lafay being unbothered about the Hufflepuff prefect, but seemed quite concerned about her own prefect.
And that was when he realised it wasn't even funny anymore. He just couldn't stop.
Dale dropped the scalpel onto his desk and yanked off his gloves before lowering his head as much as he could and grabbing a handful of his robes to stuff into his mouth.
There. At least his giggles were somewhat masked.
Wait... frozen prefects?

She shouldn't have said that out loud...

Back to the lesson.
"Alright, if you are quite finished having your fun... let's return to the plimpies." She put on her gloves. "Gloves on. Take your scalpel, clean it, and cut an incision under the scales by the fins." She demonstrated on the floating creature. "You then remove all the fins from the body, and place them in your tray. Don't worry when they disappear, they are being placed in the ingredients storage." She said waving a slimey gloved hand.
"Now, you will want to rotate the legs one at a time, widely, until you hear them pop out of the sockets, then you may cut along the lose skin, pull the legs off and put them in your tray." As she did so, she looked at the class. "You try now."

"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!"
Honestly, Stella was quite certain by now that all the bizarre freezing incidents weren't the result of someone in the lesson playing pranks and casting spells under their workstation. Especially as Professor Lafay had made that comment about Professor Vindictus, since she'd already wondered if there had been a connection between her head of house's collapse and the Hufflepuff prefect's temporary freezing. Although, Lewis had snapped out of it, and as far as she was aware, Ravenclaw was still down one head of house. If anything, she wondered now if the Potions professor knew something she wasn't telling them, but before that thought could really go very far, the lesson had continued and her mind blanked as she realized her earlier assumption that they'd be doing the actual harvesting next was true. She managed to focus long enough to add to her notes on the harvesting process, however.
Text Cut: Stella's Potions journal
Plimpy harvesting
Step 1: Untangle the plimpy's legs. (They commonly get tied together by merpeople to keep them from being able to damage their property.)
Step 2:Remember to put gloves on.
Step 3: Clean scalpel.
Step 4: Make an incision under the scales near the plimpy's fins, then carefully remove the fins and place them in the collection tray.
Step 5: Rotate legs widely one at a time until the joint pops out, audibly.
Step 6: Carefully cut at the loose skin around the dislocated joint, removing the leg and placing it into the collection tray as well.
Once she'd gotten all the steps that had been demonstrated copied down in her journal, she securely pulled her gloves on. She certainly wasn't about to write in her journal with slimy gloves after she'd managed to harvest the body parts. Once that was complete, she picked the scalpel up and finally removed her wand from its holster long enough to Scourgify it. Once she was certain the scalpel was spotless, essentially sterilized, she returned her wand to its holster before reaching toward the poor little plimpy on the workstation in front of her. At least you'll be helping people by letting us take your body parts, she thought, still semi-talking to the dead creature even though it was silent. It wasn't like the plimpy could hear her if she'd spoken aloud anyhow, and, with only the briefest flinch, she inserted the scalpel underneath the scales as she'd been shown. Removing the fin, she placed it in the tray and then applied herself to repeating the process for the other fins. Now the plimpy really looked bizarre, but that wasn't the least of it all.

But he nodded at the Hufflepuff silently, he can help whichever definition of help that was during the process and.... Vickers can leave him to clean up later. Heh.
But now several people were yelling, culminating in the grand, terrifying holler from Lafay. Sierra froze? What did Oakey do? Then Sierra started moving again-- just like Lewis!
Oh but wait "Slime?" his repeated eyes wide in palpable fear between Oakey and Sierra, finally resting on the now seething Slytherin Prefect. With a shaky gloved hand he points and utters "bodily-fluid contact."
Then his eyes goes straight to Lewis. Yes he has now known the painful truth about him and Kurumi, having given no validity to a gossip rag but my how his opinion have changed about it now. Eyes goes to the Gryffindor Prefect, just as someone yells out about Kurumi experiencing habitual freezing just as they were all witnessing now. And as if that weasnt enough, Kurumi freezes RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES "Body fluid contact..." he repeated again. "Williamson could've gotten in from Roro, or the many animals in his care... this could be a water-borne disease, even moisture in the air-- spreads around the grounds-- that would explain why Professor Vindictus got it too." he said, in an eerily calm voice but one cant mistake the SHEER TERROR that is just shaking with every word.

But no not before asking for his ONE HOPE "Can you administer that potion now please? I dont want to get what they've got. I want to graduate from Hogwarts. I want to live "
The next step was removing the legs, and Stella gingerly had picked up the leg closest to herself before rotating it in ever wider circles until she heard a pop. Almost more of a snap, if she'd really wanted to think about it, and she'd flinched again a little at the sound before return ing to the scalpel to cut along the base of the leg which was now rather loose. Removing the leg, she'd gotten it halfway to the tray before she'd heard the professor raising her voice. Realizing that apparently she'd missed Sierra freezing and unfreezing like Lewis had, she dropped the leg onto the tray not quite as carefully as she had done with the fins before turning wide brown eyes to the still angry professor as people had started accusing yet another Hufflepuff of having caused all the chaos. Starting with Sierra herself, but the promise of points had seemed to spur others to join in. However, instead of jumping on the bandwagon, she tried to simply go back to removing the second leg from her plimpy, the pop getting lost in all the noise around her and oddly making the removal that much easier.
Until she'd heard Vickers speak up, and, after she'd gotten the second leg to the tray, she'd glanced over to see that Kurumi had frozen again as well. And then her fellow Ravenclaw and former Herbology partner's argument really registered, and her eyes widened again as she glanced down at her gloves. Body fluids, she thought, wanting more and more to just tear the gloves off and hide. Hopefully not freezing like the others. Until her thoughts had continued along the pathway they'd started on. We all got sprayed with the oil from Roro's bath. Does that mean we're all infected now? She was starting to feel like she wanted to agree with Vickers' plea for whatever antidote had been mentioned earlier, starting to get tired of crazy things happening at school and back to wondering why she had continued to take Potions. She would much rather be studying for her exams than worrying that she was going to end up catatonic due to baby oil or dead plimpies, and as far as she knew, nobody had frozen in the library yet.

"An orb? What are you talking about? A bludger must have hit you in the head! Vindictus froze because he's a tired old man..."
Woops...
She shouldn't have said that out loud...
Ok...
Back to the lesson.
"Alright, if you are quite finished having your fun... let's return to the plimpies." She put on her gloves. "Gloves on. Take your scalpel, clean it, and cut an incision under the scales by the fins." She demonstrated on the floating creature. "You then remove all the fins from the body, and place them in your tray. Don't worry when they disappear, they are being placed in the ingredients storage." She said waving a slimey gloved hand.
"Now, you will want to rotate the legs one at a time, widely, until you hear them pop out of the sockets, then you may cut along the lose skin, pull the legs off and put them in your tray." As she did so, she looked at the class. "You try now."
Orb? What orb? Was that the shiny thing that was discovered at the last term's ending feast? She didn't know what it did... a shiny thing couldn't be causing people to freeze; Lafay must be mistaken. It had to contamination from the various potions here.
Gloves. She already had her gloves on. Scalpel, right, clean it. "Scourgify." She muttered, watching her scalpel be rid of it's dust. Hmm. It didn't seem that dirty. One of the mysteries of Potions, that everything needed to be perfectly clean.
Slimey. Gross. Glenn refused to be all girly about it and cut off all the fins in her best effort which wasn't very good. She placed them on the tray and turned to the next task of popping the frog/fish's leg sockets. She rotated them until she heard the pop. That sounded... lovely.
She cut the loose skin and put the legs in the tray as she had with the fins. Could she take of her slimly icky gloves now?
SPOILER!!: Freezing people

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.

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...

A death glare from Sierra Greingoth.
Who did it?!
"He did it," Sierra accused, hearing that last question just as she randomly unfroze. Her finger was pointing right at Oakey Gunter, a mere foot from his face. She was sitting in front of him, after all. "Oakey Gunter slung the slime from his plimpy on the back of my head, and when I turned to face him, I..." Wait. What did happen? She didn't even recall what happened when she'd turned around. The last thing she remembered was Professor's Lafay's voice sounding in the distance, and then she heard that last question about someone...well, doing something. "Whatever happened, happened when Gunter slung his plimpy slime on the back of my head..."
You're gonna get it, Puffer Boy. If not from the professor, then from ME.

Her eyes went towards Sierra. No one in their right mind would cast a spell at Sierra during a lesson, especially a Lafay lesson.
WOAH WOAH WOAH?!
Kurumi's attention spun around to the younger lion who was accusing her of freezing. WHAT was she talking about?! Jaw hanging open slightly, Kurumi simply stared at the girl and shook her head as she leaned over the table just a bit. "Narumi, what are you talking about? I've never fro------"
Kurumi's forward movement came to a sudden stop, but it was not enough to stop her statue-like body from moving forward a bit more and she fell in such a way that she was leaning against his shoulder with all her weight so she was quite literally leaning against him for support. Kurumi's eyes were looking straight head, mouth still open in midsentence, and nothing about her was moving.
Nothing.
WHAT? MORE people freezing?
So, the Slytherin girl had come unfrozen and was... blaming it on Oakey? Glenn threw her a glare at the other people accusing *cough*Dylan*cough* them of faking it. It didn't look very fake. With a significant glare in his direction, Glenn went over to Kurumi and waved her (still covered in slimy gloves) hands in front of her eyes. "I don't think they're faking it." She responded, while she may or may not have flecked Kurumi and that old Slytherin she was leaning on with slime.
And the Oakey thing? "Merlin, did anyone actually see anyone with a wand out? It'd be pretty hard to hex someone without a wand... unless you're an adult or teacher" The blonde said perhaps a little too loudly, eyeing the first year snake who had piped up saying that they thought that Oakey had done it too. Ugh. It seemed all these people worried about were points.
