Aha! See! Dale was RIGHT! ... though the Potions professor was shaking her head. Hm.

As Lafay spoke, he stared at the Plimpy, eager to get started. When she finished up, the Hufflepuff looked around. Some faces weren't all that... well... happy. But that was understandable enough.

"At least we don't have to kill it," he reasoned mainly to himself but for the benefit of anyone who may hear him. "That would have really sucked."

Without further ado, Dale leaned forwards and began attempting to extricate one leg from the other. It was kind of complicated, but then Dale had never been one to have enough patience or long enough attention span to do intricate things and things that took time. He tried hard not to screw up his face in concentration, as there was one particular problem.

"It's... all... slimy." And difficult to get hold of. But if Lafay could do it... he'd prove he could too.

You know.

Eventually.
