Anne had something to prove this year, whether her friends understood her need or not. She had made a mistake in potions class early in the year and she was still bitter about her error. She'd worked diligently to improve, memorizing as many potions recipes as she could, everything focused on succeeding in her OWLS next year. She was going to be better than 'better,' she wanted to bloody shine.
She'd managed to remain friendly this morning, wishing her friends luck as they arrived, but the friendly Anne was off for the day. She had potions to brew and a score to settle with herself. Anne worked fast and diligently, ignoring the room around her. Potions was one of the few places she could get lost in her work. Nothing else mattered but this brew.
Finishing her work, Anne sat back, lips pressed into a stern line as she awaited the results.
