Text Cut: Professor Lafay

Lewis had started doodling on his notebook, only half paying attention to what Professor Lafay was talking about. Yes, Plimpies were considered a pest by the Merpeople and something told him Kurumi would need Jonathan's help working with the creature. And in Potions in general. So maybe he should have just taken the seat next to Jonathan and he hadn't known that the house elves were the ones catching the Plimpies from the lake here at Hogwarts.

But he guessed that was an efficient way to do it. At least they didn't kill them.

This time actually fully paying attention to the professor's instruction, Lewis nodded his head slowly and turned around in his seat once more to look at Kurumi. Something told him that she might just be one of the ones to not actively participate in the working-with-the-creature part. But he had to work on the Plimpy on his desk now so he didn't have that much time, staring at her ~~AND JONATHAN!~~. Right. Back to the plimpy. And untying the knot which held its legs together.

It was only now that Lewis actually looked at who he had sat down next to...and literally jumped in his seat a little. "Oh...hi!" It was Louisa. Oops for not noticing her earlier. AHEM! Right, after a short moment of just looking at the Ravenclaw, he reached for the Plimpy on their desk and slowly started untangling its legs carefully. Phew. There, done. Without damaging the Plimpy at least. He wasn't quite sure what he would have done if he'd harmed the creature right now. ~~Maybe throw it at Jonathan.~~

But he hadn't, so good.

Forcing a small smile for Louisa while leaning back in his seat again, Lewis' attention was caught by another boy across the room yelling something and hiding under his desk. His eyes briefly flicked to the Plimpy on the boy - and Vickers' - desk...which was very obviously dead. Completely. Dead as a doornail, so to say. "It's Plimpy not Spimpy." The Hufflepuff corrected him with a small - slightly irritated - sigh, turning slightly in his seat. Nooooo, he was not in a bad mood or anything, noooo.

The way they get rid of the creatures is by tying their legs into a knot and letting them drift away. The younger Plimpies are able to untangle themselves, while the older, they float away and die. Our house elves have placed traps for the older ones to fall into... sometimes they are dead and sometimes still alive. When they catch a live one, they'll untangle it and throw it back in the water. The dead ones are..." brought to her... "disposed of." "The first step in harvesting ingredients from a dead plimpy is to untangle it's legs. Be very gentle, and you can damage them." She began showing the students how to take the knot out of the plimpy's legs by demonstrating on her own, very large plimpy. "There. No bruising. The legs are intact. You may try." She said and began walking around the class but stopped. "If you haven't understood what we are going to be doing, I'll be more clear. We're opening up this creature and taking it's parts to use as ingredients in potions. If you are squeamish, you are free to leave. If you wish to stay, and not participate but watch... you may chose to do so as well... though you will not receive full points on this lesson." She waited a moment, again rubbing her temples and then added. "But you'll need to chose now..."
