Aaaaaaaaall the glaaaaaaaaaares.

But this other guy... he was pretty sure his name was Lewis.

All this had happened so quickly. It was surely only a few seconds ago that Dale had hit the deck, but he was starting to remember something his brother once told him.

Something about not disrupting potions class or anything Lafay-related.

He bit back a retort about how the guy totally HAD gone somewhere, and took the hand he was offered in order to spring to his feet with a tiny "Thanks." As the older prefect-type dude was reacting to the whole PESTILENCE thang, Dale hurriedly picked up went back to his stool and sat down, suddenly looking very interested in his somewhat worse for wear plimpy. He winced a little at the response from Mister Prefect, but other than that shut right up.

Unless... Merlin. What if the plimpies WERE responsible.

Not. Good.


Good, at least he was getting up now.

Lewis pulled the other Hufflepuff up until he was back on his feet. And was now moving back to his seat as well. Good. WITHOUT any more weird comments concerning Lewis' whereabouts. Which were very clear. He'd been here the whole time. Hence the weirdness of the comments. Only it still was a little weird how everybody had been staring at him.

Was still staring at him.

Like Professor Lafay for instance...

"Rasting... my office. After class. I don't like being made a fool of. Especially not in my own class..." she said angrily.
Lewis blinked a couple of times when Professor Lafay suddenly sent an Aguamenti spell at an unsuspecting Slytherin but refrained from commenting. She probably had had a good reason to. Not that he would ever do this but her teaching methods were a little...different or so he'd observed. They weren't dangerous or anything - he hoped - though and up until now he'd never had to experience them first hand.

Up until now.

On his way back to his seat, Lewis was already holding on to the back of his chair when...HER OFFICE?! The color drained from his face and he slowly, very slowly lowered himself into his seat. That couldn't mean anything good. There was definitely a hint of anger in her voice. More than a hint really. "Y-yes, Professor." He replied, before bowing his head slightly so he wouldn't have to look at her anymore. She scared him right now.

And what was this about being made a fool of?

Take your scalpel, clean it, and cut an incision under the scales by the fins." She demonstrated on the floating creature. "You then remove all the fins from the body, and place them in your tray. Don't worry when they disappear, they are being placed in the ingredients storage." She said waving a slimey gloved hand.

"Now, you will want to rotate the legs one at a time, widely, until you hear them pop out of the sockets, then you may cut along the lose skin, pull the legs off and put them in your tray." As she did so, she looked at the class. "You try now."
Trying hard to keep his hands from trembling, Lewis reached for his gloves this time and put them on, glancing at Louisa for a second. What's going on?! That question was still on his mind and nobody had really answered it yet. Why was Professor Lafay threatening them with detention? And why was she talking about how ancient old Professor Vindictus was? And why wasn't she taken aback by Vickers' reaction to the whole thing?

Why? Why? Why?

Lewis looked back up a little hesitantly as the professor moved on with the lesson, showing them how to remove the fins and legs of the Plimpy. Right okay. Chewing on his lip he glanced at Kurumi for a second - a worried look on his face - before returning his attention to the Plimpy in front of him. Right okay. He could do this. The little get-together with Professor Lafay after class couldn't be so bad. Maybe it wasn't about that. Maybe she hadn't even been angry with him...maybe she was just moody. Maybe she was pregnant?! :O

With a sigh Lewis reached for his scalpel and cleaned it before pulling the tray with the Plimpy a little closer towards himself. Placing the scalpel right under the scales by one of the fins, he hesitated for a moment before applying a little more pressure so he could feel he was cutting through something. He then moved on to removing the fin carefully before repeating the process with all the other fins, placing them onto his tray next to the Plimpy carefully.

The next step sounded a little...gross, he had to admit. The plop sound the professor's Plimpy had made had sent a small shiver down Lewis' spine. Ew. But oh well, they needed the parts as ingredients. Putting the scalpel down, he reached for the first leg and...started rotating it in big circles, his gaze anywhere but the Plimpy in front of him. Plop! Ah, there it was. Letting go of the first leg, he reached for the second and did the whole thing again until he'd heard the second plop.

He reached for the scalpel again, like the professor had demonstrated, and carefully cut along the skin on either side, trying to ignore the way his glove-covered hands were starting to look more and more slimy by the second. Finally, he put down the scalpel again and pulled on the legs softly...and then a little more forcefully until they came off. Ugh. Okay, there. What now? He needed something to keep himself occupied with right now.

Because while he was busy pulling a Plimpy's legs out, he at least wasn't panicking about what Professor Lafay could possibly want from him after class.
