If you're bitten by a plant with poor dental health then bacteria, toxins and blood born viruses or diseases become a risk factor to your health."

"For this reason," she continued, "it's important to know how to look after your flesh eating plant and to ensure that you're aware of the condition of those teeth."
Now came the fun bit.
"In the wild, flesh eating plants use a very different method to maintain their teeth than we do. While we opt for the toothbrush, which is a rather useful invention, plants do not have that luxury. Rather, they often use bark, branches and even the sinew from their prey to clean their teeth."

"Today however, we will be using other implements."

Which were still rather fun.

"Now, you all need your dragon hide gloves, if for some silly reason you don't have yours on your person, you may borrow some from the stores cupboard," she said indicating to the wooden structure next to them by the door.

"Once you have them on, follow me. Bring your wands with you... though you won't need them."

And with that, she led them a little further into the greenhouse where the work stations were set up.
"Come along," she called behind her.

OOC: This is your chance to RP getting gloves, if you have none then you may borrow some, this is the time to ask any other questions, and of course follow your professor to the work stations. Please note, we have not revealed what you are working with yet (; The lesson will continue in approximately 12 hours from the time of this post.

As a Ravenclaw Penny had been studiously writting notes which prevented her from answering any of the questions though if she was honest it was also because Herbology wasn't her best or favorite subject. Plants weren't really her thing.

Sighing she looked up just as the Professor said something about teeth and that they would need their gloves. Plants shouldn't have teeth. Period. Frowning she pulled her dragon skin gloves out of her bag and slipped them easily on her hands.

Rising she followed the Professor and approached the work station cautiously. The idea that they were fixing to help flesh eating plants with their dental hygiene didn't give her the warm fuzzies.
