Cheeks flushed, Paige bowed her head and instead turned her attention back to the slug still crawling across her palm.
.........which, well, did answer Professor Vance's question now, didn't it?
"There is a lengthy history of them being used for such purposes," Paige said upon raising her hand. This was right in her wheel house given her history of healing courses. "Some tribes in America would use banana slugs for wounds in mouths to heal a toothaches...and their secretions do posses mysteries properties that even healers today continue to study...like the slime's influence on wart reduction and why slug parts and their mucus are used in the potions we brew."
And clearly...at least externally, Paige was perfectly alright with them crawling all over her. As her little companion was doing on the back of her hand now.
.........................................
Paige Samantha Skeeter had had quite enough of all this and she was as patient a Hufflepuff as the came. The knives at the start of the term being thrown by Miffy had been horrible and beyond forgivable as far as she was concerned - and why she was paying no attention to this whole wedding business - but this? Not the placing of slugs and snails on people so much...but salt on the poor helpless things? It was sadistic and inhumane - death by dehydration...while fizzling up in your own mucus...honestly...
Reacting first, however, to the creature that had been thrust upon Nat, Paige was out of her seat faster than you could say shrivelfig. "It's okay! It's okay...I've got him," she assured frantically while grabbing it from her shoulder. Yes, partly because she knew the Slytherin would freak...but it was said freaking out that had her concerned for the creature's well being. "Protect the gastropods!" Paige declared, pointing her wand towards the tank and administering a strong shield charm on it so Peeves couldn't torture more of the poor things. She was just sitting there minding her own business and glaring at the snail when she heard that voice. THAT HORRIBLE VOICE! Why were these stupid things still bugging them. Did the adults in this school not know how to handle two poltergeist. Before her eyes could even lift she felt it on her shoulder. "OH MY GOD!!!!!! AHHHHH!"
Shrieking was happening because it was on her. THE SLIMY THING WAS ON HER. Thankfully Paige was there and got it off. She was breathing heavy and out of her seat. Her wand was pulled. "GET OUT PEEVES" She didn't care if it was a class or not. She was over these two annoying the hell out of her. "I hate these slimy things to, but salt isn't going near them." She didn't like them but she didn't want them dead either. "Remember that fun charm Professor Primeaux taught us? Get away from the slugs and snails or it will be used again." Yes she was threatening the annoyance, but fight annoyances with annoyances right? That's what they were taught at least.
H
Her eyes went to her robes, was that slime on it. DID THAT THING SLIME HER???? OMG OMG OMG OMG, SHE HAD SLIME ON HER ROBES! It was going to get in her hair being on her shoulder and she just couldn't deal with that.
NOPE
NOPE
Where was a hair tie when you needed one?
