"Professor, perhaps pomegranate juice is an ingredient? Pomegranates have resurrection and everlasting life qualities." Yes, that sounded smart...perhaps Professor Lafay would not breathe fire at her with her next guess. "Or perhaps Belch Powder since young people tend to do such rude things more often..." Kurumi braced herself.

But Professor Lafay didn't look like one for jokes, so he kept his face straight and mumbled a “Sorry, Professor.” She had a fair point after all.

He listened to a number of kids giving their replies about what a De-Aging potion was, choosing to remain quiet and not give the same answer as all of them.

They were going to be toddlers for the lesson? Oh Merlin.. of all the potions lessons he'd been to so far, this one seemed the most disturbing. He was seventeen.. he wasn't sure he liked the idea of his peers seeing him as a curly-haired weirdo tot. Ahem.

Worries aside, he raised his hand deciding to have a stab at her next question.

“Professor, could it possibly contain Phoenix tears.. or feathers perhaps? Cos they have a perpetual life span, don't they? Like once their body starts to fail, say of old age, they're reborn young once again.”

Or something.

Keefer raised both hands. "Physical appearance changing makes me think of the Polyjuice Potion. I know that has fluxweed, which is a catalyst for change. So is fluxweed also in the de-aging potion?"

He hoped he was right. Because if he was wrong, he was likely to get yelled at or called stupid.

But she did sort of like potions. The practical nayways. Where they got to chuck stuff in a giant pot, stirstirstir and then HEYPRESTO, something magical happened when it was drunk.

Lafay had a question. To answer? She didn't reaaaaaaaally wanna draw attention to herself - especially when she was petrified of the Professor, but she was feeling brave. Sorta.

"Erm.. Professorrrr.. what about Papaya? Orrr Pineapple or Acai Berries?" Her Ma always made face masks with the stuff. Other than the fact that she looked like a loon walking around with it for half an hour, it was supposed to make you look younger.

And this potion seemed to just be about the physical side of deaging. Maybe that'd work?
