Cosgrach frowned at the boy, not because he was wrong but rather because he was... late? "Right, but we've already moved onto another question." Was he alright? Was it just a moment's lack of attention, or..? Quote:

The second year took a large breath and after much consideration he raised his hand slowly. "Professor, are Draughts considered a different type of potion?" Cosgrach nodded at Kyroh. Normally, he would have told him to lift his head, but the kid answered his question, so the man let him be. "Yes, they are." Quote:

He nodded at the boy. He might have smiled too, but Kevin looked too angry to understand it was friendly. "I mean it so, yes." There appeared to be two kinds of interpretation, as was usual. He simply waited for everyone to speak, eyes on the blackboard, and while they did, the charmed blackboard added what they were saying. His wand moved with each word to organise everyone's idea in two columns.
...
Once everyone was done, he eyed the blackboard again and added a few words that were missing.
"So, I believe it is in order to have 2 categories: Types of potions according to how they alter something and according to... what they are." The blackboard added what he said too as titles, and he paused to let them copy it.

"I know there are many many more potions. Those are just the ones you mentioned." He looked into a few eyes and started walking the classroom.
"It will be your homework to find out what these words mean," he said before anyone could ask him, and went on without a pause.
"Can a muggle brew our potions? Do they have potions of their own?"
