"Oh, but i'm afraid you're mistaken, Boneman! What good are the cures, if you cannot find the ingredient?" Draco said, smirking.

"Any simpleton like yourself can figure out where they come from. Fate has been fortunate on you for allowing you to have 'some' brains." Jerred said. "But only one with true brains can know of their uses in antidotes and potions." Jerred looked smugly at Malfoy.

"Ah, but you're forgetting the point... Knowing the location of an ingredient is much more important than knowing the cures and potions, for if you do not know the location of bezoar, than how on earth do you know what kind of cures it is involved with? Might as well find the ingredient and conduct your own experiments... Unless you're not up to that, like I am. Me being an excellent potions student and all." Draco said, pausing to take a breath from his slight rant.

Lisa looked from one boy to the other, slightly impressed. Now she knew why Slytherin was so closely linked with Ravenclaw... She slowly began to write once more, listening closely to what either Slytherin said.

"But alas, Malfoy, you seem to have gotten me! An arrow shot into my heart!" Jerred said, faining an arrow shot into his heart. "But Professor Wigglyfish started: Does anyone know ANYTHING about them. So we are both right, but I ask a simple request from you. Can we gut you and find out if you have one? Since you simply have to be a smartas$ and know where they are located. Perhaps, we could gut you right now, seemingly there would be a lot of students here who would not oppose my idea." Jerred didn't require a breath for his rant, unlike that of Malfoy.

Draco grinned, feeling pleased that he had hit some nerves. "But you see, Boneman, I am no goat. All your gutting would be in vain. You, however... With you, i'm sure we'll have more luck."

"No, maybe not a goat, but you sure are a slimy snake." Lisa said under her breath, shaking her head.

Draco shot Lisa a dark look before regaining his normally cool composure. "Ah, better a slimy snake than a cowering /badger/." He said, his eyes showing evil amusement.

Lisa sighed, turning her attention back to the front. "Better a goat than a slimy snake, if anything." She said, not turning back to see Malfoy's reaction. Instead she picked up her quill and began to write once more. "At least they have something as valuable as bezoar in them while snakes hold only venom."

"Maybe so, Hufflepuff." Draco said, glaring at the girl, his eyes narrowed into slits. "But what good is the bezoar to the snake, if the snake is the cause of the poison which it cures?" He could feel his voice rising with aggravation, and calmed down immediately. It was no use getting worked up over a measly Hufflepuff.

(ooc: Touché!)
Lisa let out a sigh before shrugging. "Which only futher proves your selfishness."

Draco glared before turning away, getting his own books sorted out. "Selfish? Don't tell me you're only just figuring this out. You obviously don't know very much about the Slytherin house as a whole." He then turned to the front of the classroom, a bored expression overcoming his face.

Jerred srunched up a piece of parchment and pelted it at Malfoy, catching him in the back of his head. He suddenly flinched and turned around, seeing who it was. Jerred instantly looked to the front of the classroom innocently.

Professor Wigglyfish tightened her lips, finding it hard to resist the urge to laugh. She always found lesson goings-on hilarious and couldn't help but be light-hearted about it all. She suppressed her grin, and thought she better get back to lesson.
'Excellent answers Mr. Boneman and Mr. Malfoy! 10 points apiece!' she announced with her usual cheeky grin. 'Yes, a bezoar can be used as a protection from most poisons - a rare but useful thing to have!'
She walked back in front of her desk, and lent against it looking completely relaxed. 'But you can't have a bezoar with you all the time, which is why antidote making is a very useful skill to have!' she raised one eyebrow slightly. 'Now for the lesson today, by using page 15 of the text books, I want you to make an antidote to the poison on your tables-' She clicked her fingers (purely for good effect) and a vial appeared on each table.
'At the end of the lesson, I am going to give each and every one of you a dilute version of that poison and you have got to drink your antidote to test it!' Professor Wigglyfish chuckled slightly at the worried looks appearing. 'Don't worry.. I won't let anything bad happen to any of you..' She looked at the huge grandfather clock to her right and then turned back to the class. 'Right. You have half an hour to do as best as you can.. oh and by the way, none of you have the same poison, so I wouldn't bother copying each others antidote! Begin!'
[OOC: Just make up how you create the antidote.. use whatever ingrediants you want, and use any method you want but remember like I said you have all different posions - so don't copy each other! The most imaginative posts with the best content, will be the most successful at the end of the lesson. Enjoy!]

She looked atthe vial on her desk, it was filled with a dark purple colored liquid... 'Most likely Doxy venom' she thought to herself before heading to the storage cupboard. 'So I'll need... nettles, peppermint leaves, pomegranite juice, and... snake fangs.' she quickly gathered up the required items and turned to her cauldron. 'First I have put in the pomegranite juice...' she thought as she uncorked the bottle and poured in a measurement of the dark red liquid... 'Then while it comes to a boil I crush the nettles and peppermint leaves...' she took morter and pestle and ground the herbs together before emptying them onto a tray. 'Okay, now the juice is boiling so I add the fangs...' she dropped two pairs of snake fangs into the cauldron, the mixture inside turned a bright, violent red colour. 'That doesn't look right...' she quickly thumbed through her potions book to find the cure for a red coloured poison antidote. "Horned slugs..." she mumbled, returning to the supply cabinet. She searched for the jar labelled 'Horned Slugs' but... "It's empty... Oh, what can I use... There!" she grabbed a jar labelled 'Horned Toads' and another jar labelled 'Leeches'. She dices up the toad, and sliced the leeces, adding three pices of each into her cauldron. The liquid inside calmed to a dull blue-grey color. 'And now for the nettle-mint' she said scraping the final ingredients into the cauldron. She stirred it twice counterclockwise and it turned a deep rich cerulean blue. 'Just right...' she said with a smile as she filled a vial with the liquid and placed it beside her test poison.
