Yes...Gideon was aware of the dangerous, poisonous ingrediants that had been included on the list for this particular potion. His father had made sure that he was aware of those just as much as the safe, non-hazardous ones for more common use. Even if he wasn't allowed to personally handle them...just watch. And now he was watching Professor Lafay properly handle the belladonna berry carefully to make sure he could duplicate it exactly.
First things first...the needle.
With it in one hand, he took up his wand once more. "Scourgify," he cast making extra sure it was clean. Then Gideon exchanged wand for berry, pausing to take a deep breath before he stick the needle within the fruit. Slowly extracting the needle for the drop to gather upon the golden surface. Slowly...slowly...there. He had it where he needed before letting it drop into the brewing potion.
A soft sigh of relief was let out as the prefect held the rest of the berry out for the fire beneath to burn it up and any juice off of him.
