Emily smiled at the young girl and gave her an encouraging nod. She did well.

As for the woman's last comment... she was right. Maybe they weren't the best potioneers, but there
were others who could make potions for all those diseases. And Helena was pretty much sure that professor Lafay was one of them as well.
