Finally he raised his hand to answer, one creature coming to mind.
"Is it the bone marrow of a thestral?" he questioned thinking of the only creature that came to mind when thinking of bone or skeleton.
"Nope..." She said.

"No." She called on someone else.

"No..." She said and turned to the rest of the class.

She sighed, "You aren't going to pass my class with full credits if you can't do the potions. And there aren't many potions without animal parts." She said.

Surely that wasn't an ingredient in this. Those things were rare enough. However, Evelyn couldn't help but wonder if that were really true. And if so, then the professor must have been trying to prove a point about phoenixes or something.
But, back to the question and answers. "Perhaps the bone marrow of a boomslang?" Eh, well the skin of those were used in polyjuice potion and, for some reason, growing bones and turning into someone else, connected in her mind.
"No..." She said shaking her head.

Alice felt herself shiver. "Professor Lafay, would we be using either a unicorn bone marrow or a phoenixes?" Alice certainly hoped not since it seemed kind of cruel to take a bone marrow from such pure creatures.
"No, it isn't phoenix, and not unicorn, though it is closer..." She said. "To get unicorn marrow, you'd need to kill it, and that's illegal." ... Not that it would stop Hecate Lafay... but this wasn't it.

Salander looked at the marrow. Eh... it could be from anything. he mused as he listened to the rest of the class. But there was a ticklish thought at the back of his head, something that Fletcher-- or rather his newfound twin Jack, had lampooned him with at the stands "Could that be a marrow from a salamander Professor, since its been known that they can regenerate their lost limbs?"
"Good guess, but no." She said to the boy smiling at his comment to Fletcher.
"It's Dragon Marrow, more precisely a Peruvian Vipertooth. It is strong, compact and contains the minerals we need for bone regeneration... Because the Viperfoot is native to Peru, you'd think muggles would know of it's existence. They do not. Some people believe that particular type of dragon has camouflage abilities and that is why the marrow adapts to a human's... I'm not sure how true that is, but it works." She then took the horn powder and raised it. "Unicorn Horn, powdered this also has many minerals and properties to strengthen and re-grow bones." She said and then she pulled out the Jello packet. "Who knows what this is? You each have a different flavor. What is it, and why is it used?" She asked.
