She didn't get past the thought process of that plan, because one of the Healers was making their way to the Slytherin table at that very moment. She rushed toward him, and even though her brother got there first, Sophie was a proud second place.

Pumpkin juice. She needed pumpkin juice. There was some at the table, right? She grabbed for a goblet, and sure enough, the juice was already present. Sophie listened to the directions then followed them perfectly. Pretty soon, she had a goblet full of the cure.

Was it nasty? Who cared?! If youth could come back to her, she didn't care WHAT this stuff tasted like. She tilted her head back and gulped it down. EWWWWWWWWWW. Okay, yes, she did care what it tasted like. It was awful. Awful, but...hopefully it worked. "CALEB!" she called out. "How do I look?!"

"Your hair is turning brown again!" Caleb said with excitement. He reached up and tried to feel if his hair had gotten it's youth and luster back yet, but it was obviously too hard to figure out. "What about me? How do I look?" he asked in excitement.

JUST in case she had somehow laced some other enchantment in with her Sticking Charm. Couldn't be too careful. His suits were his babies.

Instead he folded his arms and huffed as he tried to slouch in his seat. Only he couldn't. Why? BECAUSE HIS BUM WAS STUCK TO THE BENCH.

Grumbling to himself and muttering under his breath, the astronomer was seriously starting to consider wiggling out of his trousers to break free of his enchanted imprisonment. Especially when he saw the REAL Mr. Mordaunt just a little ways down the table. The thought of everyone seeing his Star Trek boxers - the ones with little Vulcan salutes all over - was enough to keep him seated, however.

Until the bucket of cure appeared that is. NOW he really had incentive to wiggle free.

Buckets be hauled around was a little...primitive, however. For something as delicate and vital as a cure to be carried around in such a manner that anything - dust, thrown food, student drool, fingers, just to name a few - could contaminate it was very unsettling and made him seriously consider the methods used by St Mungo's.

No wonder Old Man River's medicine had gotten all...ridiculous. LOOK AT THEIR METHODOLOGY!

Still, he wanted his thirty-something body back...so he would try and look past the whole...contamination issue and take it. Straight. After having polyjuice potion he couldn't imagine anything else tasting so horrible.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaching for the ladle just as the Headmistress was giving her speech, he ladled some of it into his goblet and raised it to those around him while being totally unawares that his face was already starting to look as though it was melting due to the polyjuice potion wearing off. "Bottoms up!"

And then he took a sip, drinking the entire contents of his goblet in one go. He was wrong. There were things that COULD taste just as bad as polyjuice potion, not worse though. He was pretty sure that this did not taste worst. The astronomer's face continued to look as though it were melting, but not in a bad muggle horror movie sort of way. While his features melted and contorted, his figure began to shoot up like a rocket which in turned made him feel an awful case of vertigo. Looking green in the face, he felt as though he were about to throw up the very cure he had just ingested.

Black hair fading to blonde, the Astronomy professor's true form finally made its appearance as the polyjuice potion wore off and the cure took its effect. Blue eyes shifting back to the staff table where Cece had gone. WHO LOOKED THE FOOL NOW, HUH?! He HAD been telling the truth! SEE?

SEE?!

Actually, no, he looked the fool. He was the one with the Sticking Charm to his bum. At least his suit fit properly now.

Caleb had been so focused on the cure that he had totally forgotten about the two Cuttys at the table. There were more pressing matters at hand! But then one of the Cutty's took the potion, and instead of turning young, he turned into...Flamsteed?

OOOOOOOOH. It was starting to make sense now...WHY Flamsteed had been disguised as Cutty was beyond him, maybe he should ask...no, he didn't care enough. But he did smile at him.

"Oh. Hi Professor!" he said.
