Gwen was so smart, and Presley longed to be that good at so many things. "That's really cool, Gwen," she finally said. "Do you mind if I watch you make it?" There. She'd asked. The words were out and there was no taking them back. She'd asked to watch.
Gwen kept studying the book, trying to decide if this potion was indeed the best.
Probably… She looked at the ingredients first.
Dificulty to find them:2/5, she informed herself from the book.
Wait a sec- I found some of these ingredients for the Potions homework, so I will find them around., Good.
The girl didn’t even look at the difficulty of the potion. She was sure she could do it.
After she heard Presley ask if she could watch, she puffed.
‘Hmph- watch? Just that? I expected you wanted to try it out too….’, Gwen said.
I thought I sounded convincing enaugh. After a short break she added:
’ As you wish. I think it’s boring to just watch.’
Then, she remembered something about this potion.
‘Did you know that Charlie Miller invented the potion? He was in his 5th year and had problems getting all of his studying done for the O.W.L.s. He decided to concoct a potion that would solve his most unfortunate problem.’Then, she remembered something else:
'Ow, he was in Ravenclaw too!' ‘He knew that the O.W.L.s are the most important exams in wizarding school, and that if he wanted to qualify for a good job, then he would need to pass at least half of his exams with an "outstanding" mark. Potions were no problem for him. It was by far his favorite subject. His problems lied in Charms, Transfiguration, and Herbology. Since he knew his strong subjects, he considered making a potion to help him pass his exams.’, she continues, hoping that she remembered everything.
Do I read too much?, Gwen asked herself.
Thinking that what she said was already too much, Gwen thought if she should go on or not.
‘Unfortunately for Charlie, the professors found out about his discovery, as did the exam instructors.’. she finished.
