Erica nodded, completely in agreement with Virohsa's judgement that she would have to give up her sample of the marigold petals and pick them again. She wasn't in doubt that she definitely had to make up for her careless actions and hearing the professor's strictness on the matter was calming, if anything. It was only when Erica looked up and saw Virohsa smile at her did she get unhinged again. After all, Virohsa never smiled before. Not at her, anyway.
If anything could've served as viable punishment it was the idea that Virohsa would have to accompany her to the Poison Cell. Erica just didn't want to be near the professor at the moment and in the Poison Cell, no less. She had already seen the massive stock of poisons laid out and another little shiver went down the back of her spine. Virohsa seriously had too many poisons for a Herbology teacher. She hoped that this wouldn't end up taking long as she started down to the Poison Cell after the professor.
"Liquid? Uh, no. I didn't see any liquid in that sample, but there was a very strong scent that the marigold petals were giving off when I got really close. Actually made me quite lightheaded for a second there. I had to sit down for a couple of minutes it was so strong, but it was an amazing scent, Professor. I felt so much better once I recovered from the dizziness. I think it might be part of the restorative effects of the plant, though I didn't realize it would end up having such a massive effect." |
