If anyone was placing bets on who would end up killing their goat, Mr Holmes is the winner.

I know you're all trying to figure out what happened the last few days, but tomorrow we'll be doing our first bezoar extraction. I don't care if your goat is still talking or you're dealing with extra body parts.


So, who else signed up for this teachers Quidditch match? I'm more familiar with Quodpot honestly.

Would it be possible to postpone Zazzerpan's bezoar extraction for a few days, Professor Mercer?

I'm sure the procedure is very safe, but Zazzerpan was violently ill this weekend and I'd rather not risk upsetting his stomach any further until he's made a full recovery.

[itsintheblood]

Yes, that's fine. You can help the other students in your class with their extractions.

[doctorkishitani]

Thank-you very much for your understanding. I'll look forward to assisting with the extraction process.


I'm wondering; what exactly are we going to do to extract the bezoars? The goats won't be harmed, will they?

[itsintheblood]

They won't be harmed. They'll be give a numbing agent for their throat and then they'll take the potion to extract only the bezoars. They won't be bringing up their breakfast with it.

[doctorkishitani]

That's quite a relief. I really wouldn't want Zazzerpan to have to endure anything like that again.

Thank-you very much for the explanation, Professor Matteris!

[itsintheblood]

It's alright, Shinra. I had to ensure a few people that we wouldn't be dissecting the goats for the project as well.

[3potionproblem]

I won? Any prize?

[itsintheblood]

No, unfortunately not.

[3potionproblem]

Well, all the same, it wasn't exactly hard to do.

[itsintheblood]

I hope you didn't have a speech prepared.

[3potionproblem]

No, but I wouldn't have turned my nose at some points.

[itsintheblood]

You'll probably earn some points for other things this year.

[3potionproblem]

Not really a concern but it would have made for an interesting occurrence.

[itsintheblood]

I'm glad you're not concerned about it.

Good day, Professor Mercer.

My name is Tulio Garza and I'm currently in 5th year. I don't think we've ever spoken, given that I'm not in either of the houses that you happen to teach, but I have a general inquiry for you.

Just out of curiosity: how much are you charging for replacement goats?

[itsintheblood]

It's nice to meet you Mr Garza. Currently it's five galleon, but it may have to go up if certain circumstances cause me to purchase more.

What's the interest in goat prices?
