SPOILER!!: Professor

Okay so valerian root and kava kava are sedatives. Interesting. But how will it make you forget your dream or remember it if you're alseep? She pondered over it. Maybe you drift off, your brain goes to work, then you come back out of it...

She gulped as the professor taunted danger with the juice of the berry. I can't believe we're even allowed to touch those things. Shouldn't we have gloves or something? She took some deep breaths and tried to keep a level head. It's just a class. She'll help us if something goes wrong, I'm sure.

She picked up a nightshade berry, carefully. She did not want to squeeze the thing open by accident. She pointed her wand at the golden needle on her desk and said, "Scourgify!" Confident it was clean, she picked it up. Her hand was shaking slightly so she paused to steady it. You can do this, she told herself. She deliberately and precisely pierced the skin of the berry with her needle. She held her berry and needle over the cauldron, pulled the needle out and held very still. With her other hand she tossed the berry into the flame beneath the cauldron and watched it burn. She checked her skin for juice residue and finding none, looked back to the needle as the tiny drop of death wobbled on the tip. After what seemed like ages it finally dropped into the cauldron, so small that it didn't even make a sound.

She let out a sigh of relief, moved her needle hand back over the desk and cast, "Scourgify." She placed the needle back where she'd gotten it and awaited further instruction. Or impending doom, she wasn't really sure which.

She then set the berry on fire, burning off any juice that had trickled on her skin. She held the gold pin over her cauldron and waited until the drop fell into it. She burned off the excess from the pin, re-cleaned it and put it back into her kit. "Only 18 carat gold is used. And the drop of juice should not have touched anything but the gold. This is important. And you do not want to have any of the juice or berry on or around you. Use the burner to burn the berry and juice, as that fire is magical and won't burn anything else." She said. "Go on now... Get your berry." Okay so valerian root and kava kava are sedatives. Interesting. But how will it make you forget your dream or remember it if you're alseep? She pondered over it.
