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."
Kaitlyn stared at Professor Lafay and blinked. "Oh dear," she whispered to herself. She hadn't realised that this would be what she'd be doing in this lesson, she really hadn't. But she knew she had grit her teeth and do it, the thing was already dead, it might as well be put to some use.

She be fine. Yes.

Okay it was time. Kat put on her gloves and took out her scalpel and her wand too. She said a cleaning spell and then put her wand back in her robe pocket. Gritting her teeth she moved the scalpel under the scales near the fin, then made an incision in it. Surprisingly quickly she was finished removing the fin from the plimpy. She was still in awe that they had simply disappear once she'd placed them on the tray.

Removing the legs? This would be worse, but she went on regardless. She removed the legs as quickly and carefully as possible, placing each one in the tray after she had cut them off.

Phew. Thank goodness she had finished that. Kat then proceeded to add more to her plimpy notes.

SPOILER!!: Kat's Potions Book
Plimpies:

-Live in lakes.
-Merpeople consider them pests because they eat and destroy their crops and property.
-Merpeople get rid of them by tying their legs together so that they float away.
-Young plimpies are able to untangle their legs. Older plimpies float away and die.
-House elves place traps for the older ones to fall into. If they catch a live one, they'll untangle it and throw it back in the water. The dead ones are disposed of.

Harvesting Plimpies:
1. Untangles legs.
2. Put of gloves.
3. Clean scalpel.
4. Cut an incision under the scales by the fin.
5. Remove all fins from the body. (Place in tray)
6. Rotate the legs one at a time, until you hear them pop.
7. Cut along the lose skin, and remove each legs. (Place in tray)
