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!
Annabelle heard the professor yell in the classroom. She looked up when she was untying her plimpy. She saw a prefect frozen to the spot. It was a huffelpuff too! One of her fellow classmates got pranked. She thought some of them were immature and were setting a bad example. "Oh boy.." she thought. She gulped and didn't answer the professor's question and looked down and observed her plimpy more. She really wanted to get on with the lesson.
Kennedy had been following what was going on and suddenly Lewis began to speak where he left off.
O_______O
Really? What was going on? He then barely heard what Louisa muttered. It only managed to confuse him even more. We're people freezing in time and interrupting lessons? Well, now that everything seemed fine Kennedy turned back to his plimpy.

She pointed her wand at the ground and sent a small jolt of electricity to the boy's feet. Enough to wake someone from sleep, but not enough to cause any sort of damage.
"Did anyone do this to him? Some sort of prank? Come out now and your punishment won't be as severe if I have to test each and everyone of your wands..."
...but why?!
Who cared why! There were Puffers falling out left and right, and that was the important thing here! The Puffers were finally leaving--oh, happy day! Oh, yeah...and Plimpy eyes were loaded with Vitamin D. That was important, too.
Sierra sat back in her chair, relaxed, and waited for the lesson to move on. Couldn't they just shove the Puffer off to the side and let his housemates worry about him later?
...eh, she guessed Lafay had to at least check into it to cover her own self, and that was more important than shoving the Puffer off too the side.
Louisa utterly gaped at Lewis. "Merlinit'sthesame," she murmured to herself as the electric shock havoc happened. If Louisa wasn't staring at Lewis and getting confused by the hundred or so question marks popping up in her head, she would've laughed at the poor Huffie boy who peered at Lewis like an artistic painting.
...but instead of some kind of useful answer from Louisa he found her just staring at him. With her mouth hanging open slightly. Muttering something that confused him even more. "L-Louisa, what's going on?" He was starting to get worried and was extremely tempted to poke her arm to get her out of it. So she would finally answer his question. And hopefully tell him why everybody was staring at him.
Did he have something on his face?

But luckily, he was just entering that age where he could laugh at himself. Mostly he was surprised.
"I'm good, I'm good... no head injuries sustained and all that," he mumbled, rubbing his head anyway. "Who knew I could make a thump that loud..."
As he brushed himself off and started to pick himself up, he saw who was trying to help him.
Oh.
OH.
"Oh." Dale couldn't help but look sliiiiightly concerned for THIS guy more than himself. But he tried to cover the expression and smile a little. "You back with us now?"
THEN he followed the prefect's gaze.
OH.
"Oh."
Uh-oh.
Lafay did not seem to be the type of professor who would be concerned by his... tumble.
So yeah.
... oh.
Phew!
At least the guy was talking. A lot too. Which wasn't all too good but Professor Lafay would forgive that, right? They had to make sure the Hufflepuff hadn't sustained any head injuries or anything after all. Though the more he said the more Lewis secretly wished he would have been knocked out. The Potions Mistress didn't really like interruptions in her class after all.
"Good, now go back to yo-" Lewis stopped midsentence again to stare at the other Hufflepuff, his expression sort of resembling Louisa's from earlier with his mouth slightly hanging open. "I...I didn't go anywhere." He was back with...what? What was the guy talking about? Why was everybody still staring at him?
Shaking his head slightly while chewing on his lower lip, the Prefect decided that now was not the time to think about this. They should probably make sure the Professor Lafay could continue with her class after all. Lewis got back up and offered the other boy his hand to help him up.
So he could FINALLY return to his seat as well and they could all just pretend nothing had happened.

Or at least that had been Lewis' plan right until the moment somebody completely lost it.
And that somebody was even somebody he knew. Crap. Vickers. Who was Louisa's friend. And his partner-in-crime so to say for their HoM protest. Did that mean they were friends? For once, Lewis hoped that the answer was no to that question. Or else he was going to have to worry about the Ravenclaw as well and why he'd just gone completely insane.
What on Earth was he talking about anyway?!
"I don't have anything!" Lewis stated rather defiantly, frowning slightly at the accusation. He didn't. At least nothing that he knew of. And definitely not something that was contagious. He'd know about that, wouldn't he? And what was going on with Professor Williamson? And pestilence?! WHAT?! Couldn't Louisa do something about Vickers? He was HER friend after all. AND he was from her house as well.
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
First Kurumi not once but twice and now Lewis.
What in Merlin's beard was going on?
Professor Lafay thought it was a prank which Gideon had to admit was a more likely option then Professor Elwood's idea of Kurumi being in the beyond. And he doubted they both could have been seers. But who would do such a thing? It was stupid and much worse then the multi-colored poka-dotted pants thing that was done to Paulie.
At the potion mistress' question, he shook his head. It surely wasn't him and the prefect glanced around for any sign the guilty party was going to fess up but the only thing he saw was another Hufflepuff get hit by a spell and Lewis reawakening from whatever had happened to him. Oh and Vickers saying something about them having caught a disease off of some of the animals.
Yeah...like that was the reason they were all off.

Dale could feel the glares.
Aaaaaaaaall the glaaaaaaaaaares.
But this other guy... he was pretty sure his name was Lewis.
All this had happened so quickly. It was surely only a few seconds ago that Dale had hit the deck, but he was starting to remember something his brother once told him.
Something about not disrupting potions class or anything Lafay-related.
He bit back a retort about how the guy totally HAD gone somewhere, and took the hand he was offered in order to spring to his feet with a tiny "Thanks." As the older prefect-type dude was reacting to the whole PESTILENCE thang, Dale hurriedly picked up went back to his stool and sat down, suddenly looking very interested in his somewhat worse for wear plimpy. He winced a little at the response from Mister Prefect, but other than that shut right up.
Unless... Merlin. What if the plimpies WERE responsible.
Not. Good.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey was still extremely nervous to be in in this class. He just kept on eying Mordy. When the instruction was given to untie the Plimpy's legs he fumbled some and almost lost grip of his plimpy sending it forward before catching it. He settled his hands down and slowly undid the ties on the fish/frog's legs.
wiping the sweat from his forehead he looked at the front of the class and began sketching his own drawing of a plimpy and labeled it's parts properly. Underneath the sketch he also wrote down the purposes of each of the parts as they were being called out.
Then the chaos began! He watched eyes almost popping from his head as Lewis stopped talking, another Hufflepuff falling, Lewis started talking again and Vickers freaking out at it all calling it a contagion and pestilence!
He looked at Mordy quickly again. Maybe it would be a good idea to search for is Rabbit's foot again, and get his four leaf clover back from Ella. Oakey didn't want this to happen to him!

Dale shrugged and peeeeeeeered in at... Lewis? Was that his name? Anyway, so he peeeeered in and tried to see if maybe the dude's eyes were moving.
When the spell of electricity shot STRAIGHT PAST him, aimed at the prefect's feet.
Well... that was a nasty shock (GEDDIT?!), and Dale, for the second time that lesson, jolted (GEDDIT AGAIN?!) in surprise. This was not good for the way he was positioned, and the chair scraped from under him.
Before he knew it, Dale was flailing to the ground with a strangled 'ACK!' issuing from his lips, hitting the floor with a painful THUMP.
"...ow."

Well, people didn't normally just freeze like that...
Then the professor was asking if anyone had pulled something. If they had, it wasn't her. Nope she wasn't that foolish. Not this girl, no way. But she did make a helpful suggestion. "Maybe try splashing him with water...?" That's what people normally did when people fell asleep out of nowhere, maybe it'd work in this case too?
Hecate turned to the girl, and cast an aguamenti spell straight to her face...
... yeah...
Patience was no longer in her vocabulary...

It almost looked as if he'd been replaced by a life-like puppet that looked exactly like him but was just...lifeless. Motionless.
A few seconds had passed and it was RIGHT before Professor Lafay sent a spell at his feet that Lewis just blinked once and his lips moved to finish the word he'd started a moment ago. "-tion. Since they're supposed to be strong and-" Once again he stopped talking but this time not because he seemingly just froze but because he jumped slightly in his seat - lowering his raised hand in the process - when a small jolt of electricty coursed through him, apparently coming from the ground somewhere. Followed by the professor asking if anybody had played a prank on somebody.
That really wasn't funny. He wasn't in a good mood anyway and now this.
His eyes widened slightly as he turned to look at Louisa for some sort of guidance but he stopped half-turn, his eyes darting around when he realized that there were A LOT of people looking at him. A lot. Which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. "W-what's going on?" Lewis whispered, leaning towards Louisa slightly, a blush forming on his cheeks as he absently started chewing on his lower lip. Why was everybody looking at him? And why had somebody sent a spell at his feet?
BAM!
Lewis jumped again almost onto Louisa's lap for the second time in the last few seconds, when all of a sudden somebody (Dale) attacked the floor right next to him. What was he doing so close to his desk? "A-are you okay?" The Prefect cautiously moved off his chair to crouch next to the fallen Hufflepuff. That had looked rather painful. Did he need a nurse? HIs eyes darted back to Professor Lafay for a moment, a concerned expression on his face.

Oh well, Louisa could.
Turning back to look at the professor seriously she went on, "Someone else froze in another class. I've se-."-tion. Since they're supposed to be strong and.

Louisa utterly gaped at Lewis. "Merlinit'sthesame," she murmured to herself as the electric shock havoc happened.

"So this is a recurring prank you all are doing on the professors?" She said furious. "I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!! Anyone else think they want to pull one over on me will be put in detention!"
This was making her sooooo mad!

Then in quick succession, Lewis started talking again, and jumping in his seat, and BAM!-- The peering Hufflefpuff (Dale) fell from his perch and was now flat on the floor.
This was too much for the Ravenclaw to bear. The problem perhaps of being too learned of books.
He shot out of his seat, backing away from his workarea until his back hit the supply shelves next to their table, both sleeved arms wrapped over his face with only his terrified blue eyes peering over them "Professor!

She should have known...
If it wasn't Oliver, it would be Williamson... So that's who showed them and suggested the prank... "I have potions to control pestilence..." she said ominously... She was going to have to pay the goon a visit.

Although he might've just lost some points for shouting out it didn't matter to him because he needed to say something that could help the students and staff.
"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."
"You think that's funny, Upstead? Do that again and I'll through you in detention for the rest of this term." She said angrily.
... touchyyyyyyy.
Dale looked slightly like a deer caught in the headlights as his head sprang up again. He started to splutter in indignation when he saw the water-type-spell going straight at that other student.
And decided to shut up.
Though he fought back a tiny smile.

Oh man, that was FUNNY... er than it should have been.
However, yeah... Dale wasn't tooooooo keen on the idea of detention. In the class that was meant to be his best as well. Sooooo he pressed his hand over his mouth.
His slimy...

hand.
Gross.

Okay, yes... gloves. Because plimpy slime did not taste or smell too pleasant.
He, you know, cleaned up the scalpel and looked at his worse for wear plimpy and started to... well, try to cut under those finny scales nice and properly. Though... it wasn't as easy as it looked.

Turning back to her slimy plimpie in front of her, Tahnee groaned inwardly. She really didn't like dealing with gross, slimy things... However, she sucked it up, putting on her gloves, and picked up her knife.
After cleaning her scalpel, she gingerly cut a small incision near the fins, making sure it was exactly where Professor had told her. After removing all the fins, she plunked them down into her tray, glad to be rid of the slimy mass. Now it was time for the fun part...
Wincing each time, Tahnee shut her eyes and rotated the legs of the plimpie until she heard the distinct pop that told her she had dislocated the leg properly. She then cut along the loose skin of the legs and placed them in her tray. Glad to be finished with the not-so-appealing process, she exhaled deeply and looked back to the Professor, awaiting further instructions.

O___O
Did Lafay really just blast that girl in the face with water? Ella sat up a little straighter and tried not to look nervous...though she was FAILING. And Poor Mr. Hufflepuff Prefect. Ella would not like to me in his shoes having to go to Professor Lafay's office. She didn't seem happy today...well that was a bit of an understatement but still...
Oh Merlin, okay...it was starting. *GULP* Ella wrote down the instructions Lafay was giving, making sure she watched as the woman demonstrated the correct technique. And then it was her turn...YIKES.
Pulling on her gloves, the second year reached for her scalpel and held her wand towards it. "Scourgify." When it was cleaned, Ella took a deep breath and shakily placed the blade onto the dead creature, near the fins. "Okay..don't panic..." She said, coaching herself, before making an incision under the scales. She was a bit put off by the sliminess she could feel, even through the gloves, but did her best to soldier on.
As she removed the fins, the horrible uneasiness in Ella's stomach grew. She didn't know how her granddad ever went through with muggle medical school. Imagine doing stuff like this on a human?! O___O But then the fins were gone, added to the storage, and Ella was ready to...erm...remove the legs.
"Alright. You can do this...it's not like you're hurting the thing so...just do it." More quiet coaching was necessary if Ella wanted to get through this without throwing up. And from the looks of things, throwing up would be the LAST thing she should do in front of Lafay right now. Taking another shaking deep breath, the second year grabbed the first leg, rotating it widely and POP. The sound alone made the second year cringe, but she tried not to over react. Next came the other leg, rotated until the gross Popping sound, and then Ella reached for her scalpel again.
The second year wrinkled her nose as she cut along the loose skin. This was seriously gross. When they were done being cut, she pulled each leg off and shivered, completely in shock that she had just done that. She placed them in a tray and tried to hold back whatever was trying to escape from her stomach at the moment. Must not puke. Must not puke. Must not puke.

All this had happened so quickly. It was surely only a few seconds ago that Dale had hit the deck, but he was starting to remember something his brother once told him.
Something about not disrupting potions class or anything Lafay-related.
He bit back a retort about how the guy totally HAD gone somewhere, and took the hand he was offered in order to spring to his feet with a tiny "Thanks." As the older prefect-type dude was reacting to the whole PESTILENCE thang, Dale hurriedly picked up went back to his stool and sat down, suddenly looking very interested in his somewhat worse for wear plimpy.

Unless... Merlin. What if the plimpies WERE responsible.
Not. Good.
Good, at least he was getting up now.
Lewis pulled the other Hufflepuff up until he was back on his feet. And was now moving back to his seat as well. Good. WITHOUT any more weird comments concerning Lewis' whereabouts. Which were very clear. He'd been here the whole time. Hence the weirdness of the comments. Only it still was a little weird how everybody had been staring at him.
Was still staring at him.
Like Professor Lafay for instance...

Lewis blinked a couple of times when Professor Lafay suddenly sent an Aguamenti spell at an unsuspecting Slytherin but refrained from commenting. She probably had had a good reason to. Not that he would ever do this but her teaching methods were a little...different or so he'd observed. They weren't dangerous or anything - he hoped - though and up until now he'd never had to experience them first hand.
Up until now.
On his way back to his seat, Lewis was already holding on to the back of his chair when...HER OFFICE?! The color drained from his face and he slowly, very slowly lowered himself into his seat. That couldn't mean anything good. There was definitely a hint of anger in her voice. More than a hint really. "Y-yes, Professor." He replied, before bowing his head slightly so he wouldn't have to look at her anymore. She scared him right now.
And what was this about being made a fool of?

Trying hard to keep his hands from trembling, Lewis reached for his gloves this time and put them on, glancing at Louisa for a second. What's going on?! That question was still on his mind and nobody had really answered it yet. Why was Professor Lafay threatening them with detention? And why was she talking about how ancient old Professor Vindictus was? And why wasn't she taken aback by Vickers' reaction to the whole thing?
Why? Why? Why?
Lewis looked back up a little hesitantly as the professor moved on with the lesson, showing them how to remove the fins and legs of the Plimpy. Right okay. Chewing on his lip he glanced at Kurumi for a second - a worried look on his face - before returning his attention to the Plimpy in front of him. Right okay. He could do this. The little get-together with Professor Lafay after class couldn't be so bad. Maybe it wasn't about that. Maybe she hadn't even been angry with him...maybe she was just moody. Maybe she was pregnant?! :O
With a sigh Lewis reached for his scalpel and cleaned it before pulling the tray with the Plimpy a little closer towards himself. Placing the scalpel right under the scales by one of the fins, he hesitated for a moment before applying a little more pressure so he could feel he was cutting through something. He then moved on to removing the fin carefully before repeating the process with all the other fins, placing them onto his tray next to the Plimpy carefully.
The next step sounded a little...gross, he had to admit. The plop sound the professor's Plimpy had made had sent a small shiver down Lewis' spine. Ew. But oh well, they needed the parts as ingredients. Putting the scalpel down, he reached for the first leg and...started rotating it in big circles, his gaze anywhere but the Plimpy in front of him. Plop! Ah, there it was. Letting go of the first leg, he reached for the second and did the whole thing again until he'd heard the second plop.
He reached for the scalpel again, like the professor had demonstrated, and carefully cut along the skin on either side, trying to ignore the way his glove-covered hands were starting to look more and more slimy by the second. Finally, he put down the scalpel again and pulled on the legs softly...and then a little more forcefully until they came off. Ugh. Okay, there. What now? He needed something to keep himself occupied with right now.
Because while he was busy pulling a Plimpy's legs out, he at least wasn't panicking about what Professor Lafay could possibly want from him after class.
"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."
Finally, the prof was taking charge. Sarah put on her gloves and took her scalpel and cleaned it. She then, following the demonstration on the floating plimpy began remove the fins. That goodness they didn;t have to descale the plimpy at all, never mind with a scalpel. Soon the fins were out and placed on the tray beside her. Instantly they disappeared.
She then turned the legs around a couple of times. "Pop" went the one. She turned her attention to the next leg, repeating the procedure. twirl, twirl "pop". It felt wierd! Sarah then began cutting the loose skin and soon had the legs pulled off. Triumphantly she placed them on the tray. All done for now, Sergent Surgeon Sarah had fufilled her mission! Operation replenish store cupboard underway!

FINALLY!
Back to some real potions work. Jonathan would surely be throwing a fit if Potions wouldn't continue. It's his favorite subject and he's been looking forward for it for the whole term. He doesn't want it ruined by princess Rasting dozing off frozen in class. Hey, he probably hated Lafay's class. And now professor Lafay will meet him later. Yada, yada, yada. Now, it's back to work. Back to slicing this thing open and see its inside. It does sound really disgusting but Jonathan can't wait to slice the plimpy open.
Returning to his seat, Jonathan heard Kurumi saying 'sorry'. He looked at her, wanting to say something. Sorry that she just randomly and possibly thought that he would froze her precious and oh-so fragile boyfriend? Pfffffft. Instead Jonathan turned his eyes back to the plimpy and gave out a deep sigh.
When the professor continued the lecture, his gloves were still worn and he's now ready to dissect it. The plimpy looked unappealing, Jonathan stared at it for awhile, his right eye twitching. Ack.
Right. Scalpel.
Jonathan took the scalpel that was on the table and again, scourgify it before using it to cut the plimpy. With the external anatomy on the board, Jonathan followed Professor Lafay on where to cut it first, which is under the scales by the fins. Jonathan started to make an incision still following on how Professor Lafay did it. After doing so, Jonathan glanced to Kurumi, does she want to incise it too? Jonathan bit his lower lip and offered the scalpel to Kurumi. If she wanted to try.

Theodore's mind had been absent throughout the whole freezing ordeal. ONE person freezing was news-worthy, but it did get kind of old after a while. Instead, Theo poked his plimpy as he waited.
It was very slimy, he noted. No, really... He wrote that down on his notes.
HOLD UP. Vindictus was a tired old man?! HAHAHAHA. Theodore laughed loud, and really kinda wanted to highfive Lafay. Maybe he'd try that after class.
Back to the GOOD stuff. Theo popped his gloves on, and cleaned his scalpel. Okay, maybe this wasn't good stuff. The boy was getting scared, and fast. He picked at all of the fins off the Plimpy with a mortified expression, and placed them in the tray. Okay, that wasn't so bad.
But the cutting.
AHHHHHHH..
If he said he was a vegetarian, would he get out of this?
Deciding to just soldier on, Theodore twisted the legs, as instructed, and after the POP, he gave them an extra tug and pulled them clean off of the Plimpy. Into that tray....... and breathe.

He settled his hands down and slowly undid the ties on the fish/frog's legs.
wiping the sweat from his forehead he looked at the front of the class and began sketching his own drawing of a plimpy and labeled it's parts properly. Underneath the sketch he also wrote down the purposes of each of the parts as they were being called out.
Then the chaos began! He watched eyes almost popping from his head as Lewis stopped talking, another Hufflepuff falling, Lewis started talking again and Vickers freaking out at it all calling it a contagion and pestilence!
He looked at Mordy quickly again. Maybe it would be a good idea to search for is Rabbit's foot again, and get his four leaf clover back from Ella. Oakey didn't want this to happen to him!
Biting his inner cheek, Mordred tried his best not to laugh at the situation. He had to give it to Lafay though, when she blasted water on a student’s face. Hah. What a way to shut someone’s mouth. And then, the Hufflepuff Prefect started to talk again, as if nothing happened? If he was doing it on purpose, then he should say goodbye now to his last remaining happy moments.
He turned back his attention to the professor who demonstrated how to take out the parts of the Plimpies. Now, they’re talking. He closed his notebook and placed it in his book bag and retrieved his gloves from it. He wore them and pulled his work tray closer to him and got hold of the scalpel. As he cleaned the tiny blade, he caught Oakey glancing at him. “What? Work on your Plimpy.” He said in a hushed tone. If he wants to go through this class without tasting Lafay’s wrath, then he should just do what he was told. “Go on.” He said and looked back at his own Plimpy.
He carefully placed the blade underneath the scale and made a clean incision along where the fins are attached and carefully took one out and placed it on the empty tray beside him. A few seconds later, the fin disappeared—Mordred grinned and worked on another fin.

Back to slicing this thing open and see its inside. It does sound really disgusting but Jonathan can't wait to slice the plimpy open.
Returning to his seat, Jonathan heard Kurumi saying 'sorry'. He looked at her, wanting to say anything. Sorry that she just randomly and possibly thought that he would froze her precious and oh-so fragile boyfriend? Pfffffft. Instead Jonathan turned his eyes back to the plimpy and gave out a deep sigh.
When the professor continued the lecture, his gloves were still worn and he's now ready to dissect it. The plimpy looked unappealing, Jonathan stared at it for awhile, his right eye twitching. Ack.
Right. Scalpel.
Jonathan took the scalpel that was on the table and again, scourgify it before using it to cut the plimpy. With the external anatomy on the board, Jonathan followed Professor Lafay on where to cut it first, which is under the scales by the fins. Jonathan started to make an incision still following on how Professor Lafay did it. After doing so, Jonathan glanced to Kurumi, does she want to incise it too? Jonathan bit his lower lip and offered the scalpel to Kurumi. If she wanted to try.
During the brief moment that Lewis and her made eye contact Kurumi felt the room grow silent. Worry was still plastered all over her face and it had only become more intense when Dragon Lady had demanded his presence in her office after the lesson. Kurumi had been in that position...last term...it wasn't a pleasant experience. At least he didn't have point loss hanging over his head too...or water all over his front.
Kurumi had heard rumors about her setting fire to students...were they going to get a demonstration of this today? Kurumi gulped at the thought and turned her attention back to her table when Lewis was back in his seat.
Which proved to be the most uncomfortable position she had ever been in, and not because she not had to slice bits and pieces off of a plimpy.
Jonathan had been silent the entire time, not saying a single word to her. While she had expected it, deep down Kurumi had been hoping for some sort of verbal contact. As much as she hated to admit it, she missed his voice. Only it seemed he really was keeping his word, that he would never speak to her again. He was leaving her no other choice but to accept that.
Kurumi reached for the scalpel, but Jonathan got to it first and she retracted her hand while he worked, trying her best to watch carefully what he was doing while she jotted down notes for the steps they needed to take when Jonathan was offering her the blade. Looking up at him, and not the blade, she sort of just watched him for a moment and him biting his lip before she slowly accepted it from him.
She would have said thank you, but with them not talking it seemed pointless.
Casting Scourgify on it again, just to make sure that it was clean for the next incision as well, Kurumi took a very deep and shaky breath as she lowered it towards the opposite side of the plimpy. The side Jonathan hadn't just cut into. She paused for a moment, unsure that she could actually do this, but with Jonathan's eyes on her she felt like she had to. Or she was just reading too much into his gaze. The blade slipped under the scales and Kurumi shut her eyes tight for a moment as she applied a little bit of pressure and felt the blade cut through flesh...which sort of made her gasp softly.
Moving quickly, but with attention to detail, Kurumi continued to cut while her hands noticeably trembled. However, she somehow found herself with a fin removed from her side and she promptly placed it in the tray. Her hands still shaking, she attempted to hand the scalpel back to Jonathan so he could start on his side of the plimpy with the next step. Her eyes were back on his foolishly looking for some sort of comfort there because she was freaking out inside her head right now.

Nigel tried very hard not to laugh when Lafay cast an aguamenti spell straight in a Slytherin's face. But he felt bad for the Hufflepuff Prefect because it looked like he did nothing wrong other than freezing for a couple seconds. Hmm... weird. This is why Nigel stayed quiet and waiting for the instructions. He did not want to get in Lafay angry and make trouble especially in her class
Well it looks like class has resumed, so Nigel kept his gloves on and listened to the instructions on what Lafay wanted the class to do. He took his scalpel, cleaned it, and cut an incision under the scales by the fins. Alright so far so good, Nigel thought. He then removed all the fins from the body, and placed them in his tray. It was pretty awesome when the scales disappeared. Next Nigel rotated the legs one at a time, just like Lafay did, until he heard them pop out of the sockets, then he made a cut along the lose skin, pulled the legs off and put them in his tray.
Nigel then waited for more instruction.

Elise blinked at all the commotion, not quite grasping what was going on. But when Lafay started going back to her plimpy, Elise then realized that she should too. Snapping her gloves on, she pulled out her wand, pointed it at the scapel and muttered a 'scourgify,' before positioning it under one of the fins.
Making a small incision under the scales, she cringed when she felt the blade press against the flesh but forced herself to keep going. She did that until all the fins were off and into the tray. And they disappeared! It was terrifying.
Legs. Right. Closing her eyes tightly, she willed something to help her to not do this, but to no avail. Nothing came. So reaching one gloved hand out, she twisted the left leg until she heard and felt a tiny pop. The sound made her blink back tears and she took her scapel and proceeded to cut along the loose skin. Placing the leg in the tray, she moved on to the next one.
Did his eyes trick him? Did he just see Lafay casted aguamenti on the girl's face?
What's going on?
And she asked Lewis to go to her office after the lesson? That's not good. Poor Lewis. He hoped that his male prefect will come out alive after the meeting with Lafay. All his prayer goes to Lewis right now.
Return to the plimpies? Oh yeah, of course. After he put his gloves on, he took the scalpel and cleaned it. Messer placed the scalpel under the scales by one of the fins and cut it. He moved on to the next steps, carefully he removed the fin before repeating the process with all the other fins, then the Hufflepuff placed them onto his tray.
Moving on. He took the first leg and rotated it and Pop! After he finished with the first leg, Messer repeated the process with the second leg. He reached for his scalpel again and made sure its clean before he cut along the lose skin. He put back his scalpel and pull the legs off then carefully put them in his tray.
Fiuh!

Her hands still shaking, she attempted to hand the scalpel back to Jonathan so he could start on his side of the plimpy with the next step. Her eyes were back on his foolishly looking for some sort of comfort there because she was freaking out inside her head right now.
After making his first incision on the plimpy, Jonathan felt at ease with how deep it was. The incising wasn't that deep, he saw how Professor Lafay sliced it, hopefully he did pretty well with this step. Jonathan has never exactly incised a creature before. So he thinks he's doing well with this. Now it was Kurumi's turn to incise this time. Jonathan thought she'd be hesitant to take the scalpel from him in the first place, so he was a bit surprised when she took them after he offered.
For now, Jonathan is just looking at Kurumi as she tries to slice the plimpy as well. Jonathan's eyes then shifted to her. She looked a bit nervous while she was looking at the plimpy. Then suddenly as the blade cut through the scales, Kurumi's eyes went shot. WHOAH! WHOAH! She shouldn't close her eyes, she might cut deeper than she expects. Jonathan's eyes widened. He was about to stop her as his right hand quickly reached for her hand with the scalpel---- BUT, then she looked like she handled the procedure correctly. Jonathan's hand quickly retracted and is now back on the table.
Her hand trembling didn't go unnoticed to him. So she did feel nervous but she already did great with the incising of the plimpy. Job well done. But then he can still see both her hands were trembling. He immediately took the scalpel that was on the tray and started to cut all the fins as the professor also told them to do. Not looking at her and focusing on the plimpy, Jonathan swallowed and finally uttered something to her, "Try shaking your hands for awhile." for the first time in months.
Once the fins where removed, he placed them all on the tray. Technically, he can't offer Kurumi the scalpel again seeing as her hands are still shaking. Maybe later. The next procedure is a bit difficult. They need to rotate the legs one at a time.... widely.... until you hear them pop out of the sockets? Uhmmmmm... Jonathan frowned a bit looking at the plimpy. He saw the professor's demonstration and it didn't seem hard.
Taking the left leg first, he rotated it once just like what he saw earlier and Jonathan felt it detach from it's on socket. And he did the same thing with the right leg. Right now, the plimpies legs just looked.... not normal. It's legs were both loose.
But before he do the next procedure, his gaze turned back to Kurumi. His eyes flickered once more as he stared at her hands this time. Is she okay now? Jonathan was willing to continue if she's still shaking.

The boy started to move again?
Before her shock-treatment?
"Rasting... my office. After class. I don't like being made a fool of. Especially not in my own class..." she said angrily.
"So this is a recurring prank you all are doing on the professors?" She said furious. "I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!! Anyone else think they want to pull one over on me will be put in detention!"
This was making her sooooo mad!
She should have known...
If it wasn't Oliver, it would be Williamson... So that's who showed them and suggested the prank... "I have potions to control pestilence..." she said ominously... She was going to have to pay the goon a visit.
"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."
With his robes sleeves still covering half his face, Vickers watched as the fallen Puff (Dale) got up and returned to his seat, staring albeit furtively if the boy was anything similar to how Lewis is now in his current state. But now the Professor was threatening him with detention for falling, Lewis commanded to her scary office after class and a young Slytherin gets doused with water for... talking apparently. By the time the Potions Mistress set her eyes on this Ravenclaw he was rooted to the spot of where he stood. That peculiar look to her face and a... promise?.. of an antidote within her stores if there ever was an outbreak. Extremely frightened as he still was, he began to calm down and hoped that Lafay would at the very least know something of how to control the contagion. Logically, that is more than enough reason to make sure he gets on her good side, cuz you know, he wants to be saved and all or have a chance to save himself
Cautiously he returned to his seat, head turning sharply at the last statement--Vindictus freezing up to? It took all his self-control not to just bolt up and scram, but there was one other curious word he heard-- an orb. Before his uncle left so suddenly he had whispered to him something about a strange orb at Hogwarts. His uncle would not say anything else about the matter since it was all 'Ministry business', only to forewarn his nephew to use utmost caution when faced with the unexplainable.
Like whats happening right now.
As if in a daze he watched the Professor proceed with the dissection process, pressing his lips in a thin line as he tried to steel himself with the task at hand. He watched as other students began opening their Plimpies up, and seeing as none of them as frozen up or collapsed out of their seats, begrudgingly took his own scalpel and scourgifying it out of habit. Eyes finally falls on the pathetic Plimpy in front of him. Im sorry he mouthed sorrowfully before sliding the scalpel to take the fins away, one by one.
He stared at the legs. Those had to come off too. Rotate them around he did, he gave a few sharp tugs, the leg resisting to come off until it finally did with a painful sound of the skin ripping off. His brain said it was dead and could not feel pain, but his gut couldnt stand his perceived excruciating process, so on the next leg he located the joint with the tip of his scalpel, wedged it and quickly popped it off, quickly separating the leg by slicing the skin and muscles with one swift motion.
He could feel like he was dying inside.

Kaitlyn stared at Professor Lafay and blinked. "Oh dear," she whispered to herself. She hadn't realised that this would be what she'd be doing in this lesson, she really hadn't. But she knew she had grit her teeth and do it, the thing was already dead, it might as well be put to some use.
She be fine. Yes.
Okay it was time. Kat put on her gloves and took out her scalpel and her wand too. She said a cleaning spell and then put her wand back in her robe pocket. Gritting her teeth she moved the scalpel under the scales near the fin, then made an incision in it. Surprisingly quickly she was finished removing the fin from the plimpy. She was still in awe that they had simply disappear once she'd placed them on the tray.
Removing the legs? This would be worse, but she went on regardless. She removed the legs as quickly and carefully as possible, placing each one in the tray after she had cut them off.
Phew. Thank goodness she had finished that. Kat then proceeded to add more to her plimpy notes.
SPOILER!!: Kat's Potions Book
Plimpies:
-Live in lakes.
-Merpeople consider them pests because they eat and destroy their crops and property.
-Merpeople get rid of them by tying their legs together so that they float away.
-Young plimpies are able to untangle their legs. Older plimpies float away and die.
-House elves place traps for the older ones to fall into. If they catch a live one, they'll untangle it and throw it back in the water. The dead ones are disposed of.
Harvesting Plimpies:
1. Untangles legs.
2. Put of gloves.
3. Clean scalpel.
4. Cut an incision under the scales by the fin.
5. Remove all fins from the body. (Place in tray)
6. Rotate the legs one at a time, until you hear them pop.
7. Cut along the lose skin, and remove each legs. (Place in tray)

This was making her sooooo mad!
"Y-" Louisa intended to answer the boy, flatly and automatically but Lafay was already seething in their faces. The Ravenclaw closed her mouth and watched the professor dismiss the boy who just got up, then accuse Lewis of making a fool of her in her class LEWIS!, and then it was her turn to get shouted at.
>_____________>
Louisa pursed her lips and sat back in her seat, crossing her arms stubbornly. Was that a threat to throw her in the dungeons? Blehh. Way to handle things, MRS. MINISTER. Shouting. Louisa felt the urge to give Sierra a sympathetic look, a look that said 'was it always like this at home too?' but she didn't dare. The Slytherin girl could be of the ratting kind.
FAAAAIN. She was going to find the cursed talisman that was passed from a person to another and causing people to freeze up like that. Because it wasn't like what the others suggested, no. The Ravenclaw needed to test her theory before turning to other ones.
... and since Lewis was sitting right next to her...

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."
... Louisa's eyes left the professor every now and then, staring at the boy's wrists trying to capture any moment his sleeves would lift up farther and reveal any kind of beaded bracelet, or weird-looking tattoo, ANYTHING! But he was sitting still all the while.
Her golden chance was born when he started working on his Plimpy. Louisa openly stared at his hands as he worked, his sleeves were moving up and down veeeeery little it made her impatient. If he hadn't had a scalpel in his hand, she would've lifted it for him just to see any bracelet since talking was out of question due the dragon lady's eyes being fixated on them already.
Still focusing on his hands, Louisa took her wand out and "Scourgify," at what she thought was her scalpel lying. Her eyes however were on his sleeves, and as if on cue the cuff of his sleeves bleached.
O,o oopsie daisie.
Louisa was torn between laughing could get her into the torture chamber in the dungeon or pretend it was nothing. She cleared her throat and whispered, "sorry," you know for bleaching his sleeves. She looked away from them at her wand and saw it pointing toward Lewis NOT toward the scalpel. Must be her subconscious tugging at her brain to figure the boy out. "will explain later," she added so that Lewis didn't feel... threatened. Or more confused that he already was.
The Ravenclaw focused on her mission for a few, he was almost done any ways. "Scourgify," and she almost flinched hoping that Lewis wasn't now wearing some white robe thanks to her subconscious. By the corner of her eye, she didn't caught any blinking whiteness. Good sign. Her head was turned fully and checked that all of his clothes were as colorful as they'd been. PHEWW.
Back to the corpse at hand.
Louisa slipped in her gloves again and with one hand she held the Plimpy, while the other grabbed the scalpel and carefully made an incision where the fins where exactly the way Lafay had demonstrated. Only Louisa's hand was squeezing too hard on the creature that when she looked at it as a whole she noticed the eyes were almost out of their sockets. ALMOST. Hopefully this was the way to obtain them later? Yes? Cool.
One by one Louisa repeated the incision to get all the fins into the 'vanishing tray', her mind didn't stop racing through the possibilities of a couple to be freezing like that in classes. She had several theories if the cursed talisman one didn't work...
... the sound and feel of the popping leg snapped Louisa out of her thoughts and she screwed up her face down at the loose leg. She cut the skin around its... root and dropped it in the tray. Quickly she moved on to the other leg, move widely till it popped out, cut the skin, drop the leg in the tray.
SPOILER!!: Louisa's notes
