And finally....
"Biting toadstools! Correct!"
Seren turned to give the 'stools an appreciative look. They really were magnificent.
"Now don't be alarmed, these toadstools - while they do feed on flesh, they don't have near enough of an appetite to take a chunk out of you. The worst injury you get is a little uncture or a scratch.... But that's why you have you dragon hide gloves with you." She eyed them all. They did remember to bring them, did they not?
"Now as your aware, toadstools are often used in potions, though we generally use caps, stems and spores, Biting toadstools offer us a different ingredient."
"Fangs!"
She waited for the reality of what was about to happen to sink in.
"Today, we will be harvesting biting toadstool fangs. But only the fangs."
After a brief pause, taking the time to make eye contact with each student, she continued, "The biting toadstool is blessed with the presense of many teeth, which you will see around the underneath rim of its cap. There are, two fangs which protrude a little further than the rest of the teeth. These are the ones we will be harvesting."
"But before we do that, you need to familiarise yourselves with a numbing charm. This will ensure the toadstools aren't in any pain when we.... so nicely yank them out."
Sort of like dentistry.
"You are to repeat the incantation after me." She paused, then flicked her wand at the board.
"Viro Torpeo", she said in a loud clear voice. "Incantation only."
"Viro Torpeo."
OOC: Practice the incantation only. We will practice the wand movement shortly before continuing with the activity.
So those were Biting Toadstools, she thought. While the class was giving out their ideas she did not gave her answer for her uncertainty and also because of her curiosity. She was looking intently at the toadstools when Professor Bentley announced that they were going to yank out the fangs of those creatures. Good thing she always brings her Dragon Hide Gloves with her.
But oh, poor little things. They would be taken their primary assets. Not that she cares a lot but as they are Biting Toadstools then it must be necessary for them to have those fangs. Yet, it was part of their lesson.
So, time for incantations.
"Numbing Charm huh ? This should be easy enough." she silently muttered. She read the incantation on the blackboard first. And then slowly mumbled it,
"Viro Torpeo." she breathed.
"Viro Torpeo." She kept on saying the incantation until she got the right pronunciation.
