That's how it'd felt to Ella, anyway. Warm and tickly and not all together horrible once you got past the visual of the flames coming at you but Merlin, that seemed to be the part that Ian had focused on as he'd sent himself toppling over. Hayley handled it better but she'd still seemed scared, something Ella hadn't all together counted out when asking two younger badgers to help.
The blonde let out a little squeak when she saw the boy fall and quickly knelt down beside him, cursing herself for always being the one around when this kid took a spill or choked on food. "He's alright," Reassuring words for Hayley but really, Ella wasn't sure. "You are alright, aren't you? Ian?"
Oh flobberworms, this wasn't good.
"It wasn't supposed to be a bad sensation! I mean, how did it feel?" Serious looks for the both of them because if she'd messed up brewing it, she was going to be really disappointed.
Hayley blinked at the Head Dragon for a while, shaking her head a little. It wasn't a bad sensation, mostly. Only, she wasn't the best at putting things into words and was more than likely to wind up rambling. Not that rambling was always socially unacceptable, but in this case, where homework was concerned, it was always probably safer to get straight to the point.
"It's not bad, really," she said, eyes flickering between the two other Hufflepuffs.
"It's just hard to get used to fire being in your face. I... kinda thought my hair was on fire." In case it wasn't clear just yet, Hayley was quite attatched to her hair. It was pretty and long and shiny and she liked it.

"Maybe I could try it on you? I don't know."
