No. Branxton. Focus. He'd done a lot of thinking and reading on this over the summer, and Mo was trying not to overreact this term. He needed top NEWT scores, after all, if he wanted to get into university. He had steps prepared in case this issue came up this term. Mo's hand shot up. "Professor? Can you... are you willing to share how these ingredients were harvested? The heart and... and the blood?"

In the meantime, Mo Scourgified his cauldron and implements and filled his cauldron with a flick of his wand. "Aguamenti." Now... who needed help? Cat was ok? Yup, she was great. Mo dropped one of his unicorn hairs into the water, watched it float around, and then added the other. That was a harmless start, at least.

Looking around her to see if anybody had any bottles of water laying around she spotted a sink. Aha! The first year was just going to use that so she could back on track. She would hunt down an older student later and ask about the water spell. AJ walked over and carefully measured the water and brought it back, and emptied it in her cauldron. Unicorn hair time. She was in shock that she was actually holding real life unicorn hair. This was so awesome. "Professor, can I get a unicorn for a pet?" Like, was that possible at all? Next to a house elf that was something else that she wanted. Carefully she added the unicorn hairs one by one so she could hold on to them longer. Done. She looked over at Angel and noticed that she was getting help from Adi and Abby seemed to be doing okay as well.

Cosgrach was carrying a scale with one hand, and the other held his wand which made the sterile box that had the MASSIVE heart of a dragon fly in front of him. He looked funny, being so concentrated and all not to drop the box, and when he set both of them on his table, he sighed in relief.

He turned to the class to see how they were doing and two students asked him questions. Deciding to answer the little girl first, he said "You can't, they're too fast to catch and too shy to play with." So they would make a boring pet, really.

And now, Mr. Branxton's question.

"The dragon heart comes from a dragon that died in a dragon reserve. I have a friend there and he sold it to the school without adding his own profit. The salamander blood, the school probably bought from the market." He shrugged. He didn't know, those animals were one of his least favourite, so he didn't really take an interest in them.

"And re'em blood you will use today is very, very diluted." Mo was asking because they were sold at astronomical prices, right? "So they didn't really cost that much, and I didn't buy them from the black market or anything." So his professor was still perfectly legal.

Did that answer to his question?

He also saw those that were helping people, and although he didn't call out their names, he took mental note before he tapped his wand on the blackboard to show the next step.

"I hope you've all cleaned your cauldrons," he said as he EYED them, "because dragons don't like dirt." Clear? Clear.

"Alright, light a fire and turn it to high. Then, measure the dragon heart," he moved to open the box while he talked, because it was sealed with magic, "and add it."

Once the box was opened, he moved behind his desk and sat down to oversee how they measured it.
