17. Cauldron
Much unlike her friend Pomona promised, Minerva was still horrible at potions going into her fifth year at Hogwarts. The professor was kind enough, always offering to tutor her in between lessons but really the newly appointed Prefect just wanted to pass her OWLs and then make it through another two terms when she would finally finish.

Today’s task was to brew the Draught of Living Death which Minerva personally thought drinking the stuff would be more fun than actually coming to these lessons. After she was practically finished she found out her cauldron hadn’t even been cleaned properly.
