Term 5, Year 2, Lesson 1

"Sor-ee," Kynan muttered a bit loudly, as he dumped his bag at a table and went to the Potions Cupboard to find his ingredients. He brought five of each, as there weren't any measurements on the ingredients list. When he got back to his cauldron, he started adding the right ingredients to the mortar, leaving him with three dried nettle and two puffer-fish eyes. He decided to throw those away later. After some time, he managed to survive until step 7. Then he had a free hour.

During that hour, he watched everyone else.

Evan, in front of him, was doodling in his notebook, and Kynan couldn't help but glance to see what he was drawing. It was Peeves causing trouble for Kynan himself. Seeing this caused him to frown and want revenge. I've been trying to be friends with him but he doesn't want it! Ungrateful demon, he thought and looked around. He saw the left-over ingredients so he grabbed one puffer-fish eye and threw it in Evan's potion when the Professor wasn't looking. Grinning, he threw in the rest of his left-overs. It was a surprise that Evan hadn't noticed yet.

When his hour was up, Kynan could see Evan look confused and hopeless. Hm, he thought as he turned to his own potion and continued until step 11. After he waved his wand, his potion turned to lilac too, and he grinned. Evan's was black. That'll teach him. He'd been trying to get back at Evan ever since the Charms incident.

Lucia looked up from her desk and blinked. Was the time really that much? It was way overdue. "Time's up everyone!" she quickly said and rose from the desk. She took a round, stopping at Ms. Wilde's potion, and smiling nicely.

She then reached Mr. Evans' potion and frowned lightly. She then continued on and smiled again as the lilac potion of Mr. Walters was shown in front of him. She checked Ms. Winchester's potion as well, and then returned to her desk.

"Five points to Mr. Evans for the good try, though it was slightly unsatisfactory. And ten points each to Mr. Walters and Ms. Wilde for a very well done potion. A few minor mistakes, though, as the potion was supposed to turn a pale blue. One too many dried nettles, I believe," she said with a soft smile.

"But well done, all of you, even though some might need more ground-work. Now, class is dismissed. Have a good holiday, everyone!" she said happily, dismissing them all with a soft smile.
