Holding the toothbrush by the very end so as to keep her fingers as far away from the fangs as possible, Silvia began to brush. Starting with the lower back teeth, she scrubbed gently, trying not to miss a spot. It wasn't the most enjoyable activity, but at least Herbology classes were never quite boring. She made sure to brush along the gumline as well. Both inside and outside, until it seemed like she got most of the gunk off the first tooth.

Then she moved up to the next tooth and repeated the process, always glancing from time to time at the rest of the plant to see if there was any movement. Nothing so far; it seemed that the sedative was still working strong. Good, because of all injuries she could get here at Hogwarts, being bitten by a fanged plant was one she least wanted to risk, and that was coming from someone who could usually handle pain very well.
