He disliked removing points, but he wasn't going to stand for that no, sir! "You'll have the chance to earn them back if I see you working hard this lesson." And that meant touching the bubotubers.
With a hmph, Sage turned back to the rest of the class.
"Now, these plants need to be handled with care. Squeeze at them too hard and the pus might just erupt somewhere you don't want it to." Like the face. Noone wanted boils on their face. "Harvesting the pus is easy enough," he explained waving his wand to reveal scrawled handwriting on the blackboard.
"Cocktail sticks and vials are up here," Sage said, pointing at the pile on his desk. "If you're having any trouble, don't be afraid to ask. And remember, gloves on at all times."
Yeah, he was just going to let them get on with it. Marie Salazar had left him slightly peeved.
Hehe, she knew Marie was going to have points taken for such a comment, and Evelyn had tried to soften up the rudeness a tiny but, oh well.
It was hard to know that they now were even closer to second place however. Couldn’t Marie hold in the rudeness just for a bit longer? Hmm? Until Slytherin can get their lead again.
Glancing up to the board, her snickering subsiding, her eyes flew across the words as she fixed her gloves again, making sure they were covering as much skin as possible, before pulling down her sleeves even more. There was no way she was getting this on her skin. And if anyone else happened to get THERES on HER skin, they were going to be in for a very hard night once she got out of the hospital wing.

So, she had to make sure these gloves were on extra good then. Pfft, chop chop. Wish she could just chop the plant. It was gross.
Standing up, the Slytherin went over to front desk and pick up some vials and a cocktail stick, keeping her mind focused on anything else but the disgusting task they had to do. Smiling BRIGHTLY to the professor, Evelyn went back to her part of the table.
Probably, the most disgusting thing she must do in her entire life.

Muttering under his breath, he nevertheless turned to the all of the three girls. "Wanna work as a group?" he asked them hopefully. Because he was NOT going to be alone with a plant. Uh-uh.
…
EVAN!
Her eyebrows shot up in surprise when she saw the Slytherin there. Must have not noticed him when she herself came in.
"Depends…" she smirked, leaning against the table and looking at the slug like plant in front of her.
"Are you going to do this ‘collecting’ job for us?"
