Scabior thought for a moment. "Good guess. But the princess being dead wouldn't really benefit the hag. She committed the act out of jealously.." Unknown jealously at that, but probably because the princess was most likely beautiful and she....was a hag. "Controlling the kingdom wasn't really a goal." Or it wasn't known to be a goal.
"Hag." He corrected.
"Good guesses" Scabior nodded, they were solid.
He shrugged. "It's very doubtful they would have known that she was the one to do it."
"Hag." He corrected.
Scabior raised a brow. "I still think you are thinking of it as more of a fairytale." He paused. "Grief would be the first emotion upon hearing that the Princess had died, and also, Lecticia probably didn't know the King and Queen personally." They were royalty.
Scabior snorted. "I doubt that." Very, very much.
He gave a stiff nod, but that didn't mean that what the girl had said had been wrong. In fact most of it was correct. It just meant he would get back to her.
Scabior chuckled. "Don't let a hag hear you say that kid, or you'll probably be transfigured into some grotesque creature"
He nodded. "She could have been that naive."
Scabior didn't skip a beat and as the question was asked he already had his answer. "Yes, exactly like a coma I would say." He let the next question sit for a moment before raising a brow. "Muggle-baiting...what do you mean?
"Nah, she wouldn't have been scared." He shook his head.
"They wouldn't have known she was only sleeping, just that something was wrong with her."
"Yes and no. Leticia would have much sooner tortured the princess than used her to her advantage." Jealously made you do stupid things.
"Trust me, Leticia would not have felt bad."
He nodded. "Makes sense"
He himself had gotten a little distracted as he watched the students begin to create their potions. Watching someone create a potion was pretty entertaining, if they actually knew what they were doing.
Watching the younger students make the potion...that was just funny.
Scabior cleared his throat loudly, almost as if to say, stop paying attention to Lafay and pay attention to him. "So, Miss Gardiner basically hit the nail on the head." Muggle idioms cool. "But I think the most important thing to take note of is the fact that, the princess was as good as dead." He quoted her yes. She should feel special. "The Draught of Living Death is such a powerful potion, that Leticia didn't see any problem in using it first to fake the princess's death. What isn't known is what Leticia was going to do with the princess."
She could have had a number of plans. Hags were strange. "Whatever she had planned however, didn't work out. She believed that she would be the only one to know of The The Draught of Living Death. But a wizard in the town heard about the Princess' ....sudden coma like state...and was convinced that something was suspicious. He snuck into the castle and smeared a potion on his lips before kissing the supposed dead princess." Just image if she had actually been dead. Scabior looked over to Lafay, well if the woman wanted to ask about the potion....
"Now that potion did work and Leticia's plans were foiled. But I want to touch on something important. Any ideas why this Wizard would go and save the princess, after feeling that something wasn't right?" Huh? Why did the wizard save the princess? Why not? Ira was a bit confused by the question. So now couldn't a person save another's life?
She heard others' answers, and agreed with all. Yup, maybe it was like love at first sight? She raised her hand up and answered, "
Professor, maybe because it was a case of love at first sight... and maybe because she was a princess... actually I think the latter might be the real reason" Because Ira didn't belive in love at first sight. Yup, Ira agreed with the general opinion that the Prince had his own selfish reasons..

She turned away from the students and waved her wand. "Seven Moly petals, just let them float on the water. Then add the cup of salamander blood followed quickly by the ten Lionfish spines." She demonstrated. "Unicorn horn grated over the cauldron, and then the final ingredient: Wolfsbane. Stir 20 times counter clock wise. And let simmer."
And there came the Potions Mistress' instructions. How was Ira, a young twelve year old supposed to do such varying tasks?
Frowning a bit, Ira followed the instructions, and added the Seven Moly petals and let them float on the bubbling mixture. Then she measured out the salamander blood before tipping it over the pot, followed by ten Lionfish spines. Grabbing hold of the Unicorn horn, Ira grated it in her mortar, and then added it in. She then picked up the wolfbane stalk and dropped it too into her cauldron. Then she stirred the mixture 20 times counter-clockwise direction.
Then leaving the mixture to simmer, she updated her potions journal.
