It was quite the combination of ladies before him, Gideon thought. Some, like Miss Farris, were young and fresh faces to the season. Others, like Miss Clarke, had attended Hogwarts with the healer himself—perhaps a new honorific was needed for spinsters. Then there was Miss Russell, who Gideon had never heard of and never seen before. Regardless of the contestents, though, the wizard knew this would be much the same as any other competition he had judged in his capacitiy as a member of the London Potioneers Guild.

"Begin!"
