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..."
They were going to... HARVEST ingredients from the poor plimpies?! And they were DEAD?! Well, of course, Nora noticed they didn't really move, but what if they were only asleep? And still, untangling their legs was alright, even though they looked full of... slime, or whatever it was... but OPENING UP THE CREATURES?!
...
Nora felt sick. Almost, at least.
Now, what should she do? Just leave? It was obvious she couldn't, although professor Lafay had told them that they were free to leave... but it was the Slytherin pride that told her to stay. So... staring at the DEAD plimpy, Nora untangled its legs slowly and carefully, so she wouldn't damage them. Poor, poor thing.
