You select the choice that says “Aconite”. The magical barrier disappears and you can see your aconite, also known as Monkshood and Wolsfbane. You try to be extremely careful as you move around to inspect the plant, but something trips you and you left hand lands on the plant to stabilize you. Worried for the aconite you quickly remove your hand and see that it’s not too worse for wear. You then look at your left hand and gasp in fear. You’re not sure how it happened, but you have a cut on your hand, and you can definitely see some parts of the aconite’s leaves in it. You run to the entrance of the greenhouse and quickly look for the antidote to aconite poisoning. Since they are all placed in alphabetical order, you quickly find the atropine and drink it.
You then rush back to your house, yelling for you parents. Your father is the first to arrive and you explain to him as succinctly as you can what happens. As soon as you’re done, he grabs your shoulder and apparatus the both of you to St Mungo’s. Considering the gravity of your case, you are quickly seen by a Healer who then proceeds with the appropriate treatment. They say they will keep you for the next couple of days for observation, to make sure all the poison is out and to ere on the side of caution.
When your parents show up the next day during visiting hours, you receive an hour-long lecture on the importance of wearing protective equipment in a greenhouse, even if you are just going to be looking around. Your father tells you that your mother and he have decided that maybe you are not ready for your own greenhouse yet. You are affronted by their decisions but considering what just happened, you can’t really blame them. You’re still too happy to be alive to really be angry anyways. You’ll just have to try to convince them again next year.
