No no no, that's not a proper answer!"
"
Yes, but which part!" Merling these students were being dense! "
Oh forget it. It's the dorsal fin. ooc: assuming the last part wasn't whispered.
"
There is a bucket in the back for you to spew in, Master Wilde..." She said hearing the non whispered part, "
there is a charm that blows your hair back, so Master Vanderbilt can" and this she said to the other boy, "Remain. In. His. Seat." He then turned back to the Hufflepuff and said "
Seeing as you are not spewing at the moment, pay attention, and make an effort to answer my questions!"
"
For... what?!" She asked. "
You mean a wit sharpening potion?" Did she have to read the minds of the whole class?? "
Yes... Scales are used in certain kinds of wit sharpening potions..."
This one looked as if she was ready to lose her cookies as well... She shook her head. Whatever... Kids these days didn't have the stomach for things.
"
Yes, Miss Potter." She said in a not too pleasant tone to the little tattle tale...
"
A bad answer is better than no answer..." She said passing by the table.
"
That's also not an appropriate answer. I asked for a potion! Not tonight's menu." She said irritated.
"
Of course you can! But I'm asking in what. POTION!" Merlin these kids were daft today... or maybe she was just too tired.
"
Yes Miss Greingoth, that is correct... but why?" Why was today's class so hard to get through? Maybe she needed a vacation... "
It's because they are loaded with Vitamin D."
"
I ask a question... I expect answers..." She said.
"
Clarify... yes. Like a wit sharpening potion." she nodded.
"
Very good. Remember I asked WHY!" She was losing her patience now... "Because they are high in Vitamin D." She said.
"
Yes Vanderbilt." She said "
That is a good answer."
"
Right..." but the boy... fell asleep? "
Master Rasting? Master Rasting?!"
"
I see that..." She said rolling her eyes.
... this did now seem self induced...
She pointed her wand at the ground and sent a small jolt of electricity to the boy's feet. Enough to wake someone from sleep, but not enough to cause any sort of damage.
"
Did anyone do this to him? Some sort of prank? Come out now and your punishment won't be as severe if I have to test each and everyone of your wands..."
Oops. He forgot to whisper. Whispering is what kept him OUT of trouble. "Um... why... um... thank you, Professor," he managed, the confidence he held when he first entered the classroom hardly evident within him, now. Although he was still hot. He was
alwayssss hot.
But, she also got a bit snappy with Vickers and Elijah felt guilty about that. Afterall, it had been him who spoke to Vickers. He mouthed an apology in Vickers general direction. Despite the fact Elijah had set out to use him originally, he actually quite liked the 'Claw.
He watched on as Lafay sent a bolt of freakin' LIGHTNING at the Huffie Prefect's feet! Was this woman
insane!?. Before the bolt could reach the boy, he had started moving again. What on Earth was going on with him!?
Well, that was when Vickers provided him and the rest of the class with a rather worrying solution...

dead Plimpies... frozen Lewis.... dead Plimpies... frozen Lewis. Then in quick succession, Lewis started talking again, and jumping in his seat, and BAM!-- The peering Hufflefpuff (Dale) fell from his perch and was now flat on the floor.
This was too much for the Ravenclaw to bear. The problem perhaps of being too learned of books.
He shot out of his seat, backing away from his workarea until his back hit the supply shelves next to their table, both sleeved arms wrapped over his face with only his terrified blue eyes peering over them
"Professor! Its a contagion! Lewis has it... he might've caught it just now.... " he said nudging his head at the fallen Dale
"... I saw Professor Williamson freeze up too. It must be coming from the animals..." eyes the dead Plimpies
"Its some sort of PESTILENCE."
In response to Vickers' outburst about it being a PESTILENCE, Elijah jumped behind the workbench on the other side, getting him further away from the Prefect. Elijah was too good looking to know the definition of such words like pestilence, but it HAD to be bad considering the way Vickers was moving further and further away and covering his face.

And hopefully tell him why everybody was staring at him.
Did he have something on his face?
Phew!
At least the guy was talking. A lot too. Which wasn't all too good but Professor Lafay would forgive that, right? They had to make sure the Hufflepuff hadn't sustained any head injuries or anything after all. Though the more he said the more Lewis secretly wished he would have been knocked out. The Potions Mistress didn't really like interruptions in her class after all.
"Good, now go back to yo-" Lewis stopped midsentence again to stare at the other Hufflepuff, his expression sort of resembling Louisa's from earlier with his mouth slightly hanging open. "I...I didn't go anywhere." He was back with...what? What was the guy talking about? Why was everybody still staring at him?
Shaking his head slightly while chewing on his lower lip, the Prefect decided that now was not the time to think about this. They should probably make sure the Professor Lafay could continue with her class after all. Lewis got back up and offered the other boy his hand to help him up.
So he could FINALLY return to his seat as well and they could all just pretend nothing had happened.
Or at least that had been Lewis' plan right until the moment somebody completely lost it.
And that somebody was even somebody he knew. Crap. Vickers. Who was Louisa's friend. And his partner-in-crime so to say for their HoM protest. Did that mean they were friends? For once, Lewis hoped that the answer was no to that question. Or else he was going to have to worry about the Ravenclaw as well and why he'd just gone completely insane.
What on Earth was he talking about anyway?!
"I don't have anything!" Lewis stated rather defiantly, frowning slightly at the accusation. He didn't. At least nothing that he knew of. And definitely not something that was contagious. He'd know about that, wouldn't he? And what was going on with Professor Williamson? And pestilence?! WHAT?! Couldn't Louisa do something about Vickers? He was HER friend after all. AND he was from her house as well.
"You are
sure you don't have anything?" Elijah asked the boy, his words muffled by his hand clasped over his mouth. "Are you willing to bet every galleon you own on that? What you were just doing was
not normal behaviour."

Hecate turned to the girl, and cast an aguamenti spell straight to her face...
... yeah...
Patience was no longer in her vocabulary...
"When I need your help, I will ask for it."
The boy started to move again?
Before her shock-treatment?
"
Rasting... my office. After class. I don't like being made a fool of. Especially not in my own class..." she said angrily.
"
So this is a recurring prank you all are doing on the professors?" She said furious. "
I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!! Anyone else think they want to pull one over on me will be put in detention!"
This was making her sooooo mad!
She should have known...
If it wasn't Oliver, it would be Williamson... So that's who showed them and suggested the prank... "
I have potions to control pestilence..." she said ominously... She was going to have to pay the goon a visit.
"
An orb? What are you talking about? A bludger must have hit you in the head! Vindictus froze because he's a tired old man..."
Woops...
She shouldn't have said that out loud...
Ok...
Back to the lesson.
"
Alright, if you are quite finished having your fun... let's return to the plimpies." She put on her gloves. "
Gloves on. 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."
A few things happened next and Elijah was pretty certain that at this point the entire potions class he thought he had been in was obviously nothing but a dream. Professor Lafay had ACTUALLY just squirted a girl in the face with water. Isn't that considered abuse? Are Professors
allowed to do that? He wanted to play the knight in shining armour and ask her if she was okay and maybe even flash her one of his smiles, but he was scared he may meet the same feat, so decided to remain where he was.
And apparently the Prefect's conveniently timed movements before the Professor's bolt of lightning had grown her suspicions of a prank. Had the whole thing been a prank, then? Had Elijah just been played? He was too pretty to be PLAYED by such unattractive people!
But, he had saw Professor Williamson suffer from the same thing? Surely the boy wouldn't be taking the mick out of that? He was a prefect, he had to be respectful.
Elijah took a moment to glance behind him and take the boy in. He seemed okay now... Maybe a little disappointed at the fact he had been called to Lafay's office. At this point in time the most attractive boy at Hogwarts just had no CLUE what to believe anymore.
WAS IT A PLAGUE OR WAS IT A PRANK?!

But now the Professor was threatening him with detention for falling, Lewis commanded to her scary office after class and a young Slytherin gets doused with water for... talking apparently. By the time the Potions Mistress set her eyes on this Ravenclaw he was rooted to the spot of where he stood. That peculiar look to her face and a... promise?.. of an antidote within her stores if there ever was an outbreak. Extremely frightened as he still was, he began to calm down and hoped that Lafay would at the very least know something of how to control the contagion. Logically, that is more than enough reason to make sure he gets on her good side, cuz you know, he wants to be saved and all or have a chance to save himself
Cautiously he returned to his seat, head turning sharply at the last statement--Vindictus freezing up to? It took all his self-control not to just bolt up and scram, but there was one other curious word he heard-- an orb. Before his uncle left so suddenly he had whispered to him something about a strange orb at Hogwarts. His uncle would not say anything else about the matter since it was all 'Ministry business', only to forewarn his nephew to use utmost caution when faced with the unexplainable.
Like whats happening right now.
As if in a daze he watched the Professor proceed with the dissection process, pressing his lips in a thin line as he tried to steel himself with the task at hand. He watched as other students began opening their Plimpies up, and seeing as none of them as frozen up or collapsed out of their seats, begrudgingly took his own scalpel and scourgifying it out of habit. Eyes finally falls on the pathetic Plimpy in front of him. Im sorry he mouthed sorrowfully before sliding the scalpel to take the fins away, one by one.
He stared at the legs. Those had to come off too. Rotate them around he did, he gave a few sharp tugs, the leg resisting to come off until it finally did with a painful sound of the skin ripping off. His brain said it was dead and could not feel pain, but his gut couldnt stand his perceived excruciating process, so on the next leg he located the joint with the tip of his scalpel, wedged it and quickly popped it off, quickly separating the leg by slicing the skin and muscles with one swift motion.
He could feel like he was dying inside.
Well, despite everything that had just occurred in the last ten minutes, class seemed to be getting back on track. Personally, Elijah had preferred it when people were freezing all about the place that way he didn't have to dissect this plimpy.
GULP.
He could barely watch as the Professor demonstrated, and found it even
more difficult to see Vickers doing it because it was so close to him. He really couldn't do this. Hot people like him
shouldn't have to.
"UM, Professor. Me and Vickers are just going to share a bimpy. That way we can help each other, uh, learn better and do a good ole' team effort," and then he won't have to actually cut up the thing himself and could just watch Vickers do it all.
Perfect.
