#8 - here we go again

Her face lit up when she spotted what looked like plant goo yet darkened into confusion when she saw just how big this flower was.
Checking her list again she stared at it for a while, puzzled.

This tubular plant seemed too big to squeeze the goo out of it and big enough to scoop a jar into the tube and get the goo out.
She had expected it to smell bad but Reena could not smell much of anything. It was a bit weird.

Reena knew better than to just blindly trust what seemed like an easy situation and scolded herself for coming here alone again. She should have made Lindsey or someone with a better knowledge of Herbology come with her. Maybe they would have known if it was actually save to reach in.

She got out her jars, put on her protective gloves and held the plant still from the outside with her strong hand while reaching the jar in to scoop with her weaker one.
Should the plant try to injure her she'd rather have her wand hand ready to set this plant aflame.

"Eek!"
Reena reached for her wand when the plant closed itself around her arm but stopped herself from casting an offensive spell on it when she realized it was not in fact trying to eat her.
It seemed as though it was feeling her up instead with a disgusting slurping sound.

"Eww.", Reena wrinkled her nose in disgust when she pulled out her arm and saw that not only the jar was filled to the brim but the pink slime was all over her as well.
Why was everything Herbology and Creatures related so disgusting?

She put on the lid and thought about cleaning up but she did not want to start all over again.
Seeing that she was already dirty, covered in this sticky, stretchy goo, she could as well reach in again to get the other two jars of plant goo she needed for the potion she had requested.

"Ughh", she groaned when she reached in again with the second jar. She made a face and refused to look while she filled up the jar, not wanting to gross herself out even more.
The third time was not as terrible anymore but she made sure to clean herself up after wards.

"Tergeo!", she cast the cleaning spell on herself. And again for good measure.
"Tergeo!", Reena cast on the jars, refusing to put them anywhere near her textbooks while covered in slime.

She really hoped she could get this all cleaned with the simple charm.
