"That doesn't mean it's clean," she pointed out. "Dust can get inside, and so can...well, anything. Potions are mixes of many ingredients, and if there's just one little thing in there that doesn't belong, it could mess up the entire brew." She smirked at the girl. "Even cause it to explode." Heh.

"That's why she asked about the Five C's of Potion Making. Cleanliness is one," she added. She gestured toward the girl's cauldron. "Point your wand into it and say--Scourgify."

Sierra watched her mother with a pair of concerned-looking eyes. She'd have to be Little Miss Helpful in this class whether she liked it or not. If she didn't, her mother would get too easily angered, and that's when the gray stuff... Well...yeah.

The kid seemed suprised she hardly knew any magic. Seri had thought there were loads of half-bloods and muggleborns, but of course a Slytherin would be so naïve as to think that all of their own must surely be purebloods to the highest degree? Apparently Shiny Bdage Child was one of those pureblood maniacs she had heard about... But she did have a shiny badge.

Ooooh, Seri kinda understood. "Its like when I got my ears pierced! And you have to put funny stuff on them to keep them clean and nice so you don't get infections!" Seri couldn't believe she hadn't made the comparison before, though she had had trouble putting that stuff on her ears for a couple weeks, so the idea of remembering to say this everytime she made a potion.. whatever. The ScaryLady would never notice if she 'forgot' to clean it out, and how would she prove anything?!

Explode? That sounded like something she and Lex could use. And also as a last resort for when they finally got round to breaking into Hadley'a office. Otherwise she'd use some kind of muggle trick with a hairpin. How James Bond. To satisfy the girl, Seri pointed her wand at the cauldron, and remembered the incantation; "Scourgify!" Seri said firmly. "Scourgify! Scourgify! Scourgify! See? DOESN'T WORK!" Seri huffed. What was it supposed to do anyway? Like, how would she know it worked? Would the cauldron suddenly turn a gleaming porcelain?

Apparently this kid was a goody-two shoes or very concerned about the Professors teaching skills.
