"Fine, yes, okay? You can come," Greta resisted the urge to groan aloud and forced herself - again - to calm down and take a deep breath whilst she told herself to think pleasant, peaceful thoughts. It wasn't as if Yuri was the only one to have invited himself on their expedition. Millie was just too nice. She really needed to learn how to say no to others.

And Yuri could be useful.

He had... talents? Greta wasn't quite sure what they were but he must have as she'd noticed that most of the talentless students had sort of disappeared after the first year unless they came from wealthier families... though perhaps he was secretly wealthy. Maybe he was secretly very good at sneaking?

She reached for the buttober puss and screwed up her nose as she added it to her potion. It looked ghastly - though she really shouldn't expect anything from an ingredient that has the word puss in its name.

A cruel thought popped into her head - and she pushed it away secretly astonished with it and quite glad nobody had the power to read minds. It had only appeared for a second - the thought of using the dangerous material in someway to prevent Yuri from coming along - but it had been there all the same. It wouldn't have done her any good anyway because the whole expedition was turning into a group project anyways. She needed to embrace that fact (and not focus on how it would look if it all went wrong and they blamed her) after all there was a sort of safety in numbers and booksmarts could only get one so far.

Thanks go to the marvelous MJ for her sensational set.

Maybe that's not how other students saw it, but Dorian felt being in Potions Class was a massive comfort and like a warm blanket that enveloped him whole. He was a natural at Potions and out of all the things he needed to cram into his head before his O.W.L. exams at the end of the year, this was the one thing he knew he'd pass with flying colors and didn't need to worry himself sick over. A smile came over his face as he gently added each ingredient, measuring everything out with the precision that would meet his own strict standards.

Beautiful Set by Athena ♡ !

Meserimus stood at the front of the classroom, a warm smile on his face as he addressed his students. The aroma of various potions ingredients filled the air, a testament to the active and engaging lesson that had just taken place.

"Bravo, my dear students! Another successful potions class has come to an end," Meserimus exclaimed, his voice resonating with enthusiasm. "I must say, your dedication and progress in mastering the art of potion-making never cease to amaze me."

The students, a mix of eager faces from different Hogwarts houses, beamed with pride and anticipation as they gathered their belongings and prepared to leave the classroom. They had spent the entire class period brewing complex potions under the watchful guidance of their professor.

"I've witnessed great talent and creativity in each one of you," Meserimus continued, his eyes twinkling with genuine admiration. "From the meticulous measuring of ingredients to the precise stirring and enchanting of your cauldrons, your efforts have truly paid off."

Meserimus gave out the class points and dismissed them for the summer.
