Professor Virohsa nodded. "It could.. yet the plant seems to focus on other type of maladies".

Professor Virohsa nodded. "That is an interesting use of the plant. However, I would not use it in a duel", she replied. "2 pts"

Professor Virohsa shook her head. "No, I do not think so dear", she explained.

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Ah! Intriguing. Yes, this plant could be used to counter its own poisenous effects, which in some cases could be the healing part", she added. "This we shall focus on for the rest of the term. Using poison as a healer", she said slowly.

Professor Virohsa nodded. "Yes, dear, that could be one of its uses",she replied. "However, that doesn't relate to its magical properties", she added.

"Now, I want you all to look at the blackboard again and use the following. We will be focusing on the five elements that ancient chinese culture, or traditional, used to determine when a plant was ready for medicinal use. I want you to use your wand to give light, the water pitchers to give water, your gloves to take earth away or to place more of it. We will not be dealing with metal or wood in this case", she explained. "Basically, make sure to try a bit of everything. If the plant loses its color and becomes paler, you know that you are doing something wrong. What we are looking for is for the flowers to turn purple. Feel free to work alone or in pairs", she added.

As she was about ready to turn and start walking around.. she remembered an episode that had happened on earlier terms.. "And don't poke the plants!!!", she snapped.
