Cosgrach contently smiled at them all. "That's some list you made," he said proudly. He had never felt so proud of his students before. They were bright, definitely. "I only have one thing to add to that: Waving your wand usually increases its effect."

With that done, he said "It is also worth noting here that the spell 'SpeRevelio' reveals the contents of a cauldron unless it's dark magic. But you don't need to worry about dark side of potions unless you mean to study it at university." He eyed Silas and Kevin briefly before moving on while that was added on the blackboard too. He didn't ask that as a question for it was too easy for them... right? Hopefully.

"Last three questions." He EYED them to see who would be happy at that news. Probably all of them? Heh.

"Name one potions tool and its use."

Potions are super picky." Like really. "How about..." Zahra was THINKING SO HARD, trying to come up with something not already said..."....... time.....? Like..... OH HEY HOW ABOUT FULL MOON? Like add it the whatever ingredient at the FULL MOON?" OH MAN WAS THAT RIGHT? ZAHRA WAS A FREAKING SCHOLAR! Cosgrach sighed and patiently waited for her to finish. "It matters, Zahra," he said, "because these react to each other and your way of brewing affects the reactions." Made sense? "Time matters too, yes." So she wasn't so terrible at this, see? Haha she was, but Cosgrach appreciated her effort. Once again, the answers Cosgrach selected and edited appeared on the board, though he did smile at everyone who tried to answer.
