"Hello, err, Miss." Whatever her name. Sorry, he couldn't remember it.
He didn't know her name..? Did he not GO to the matches last term..? ... Actually, no, strike that, hopefully he'd missed at least the last one...
"It's Ferrier, sir. Derry Ferrier." she reminded him, taking out her quill and getting ready to, y'know,
start the lesson.

He grinned proudly. They could tell it was one of his favourite potions. "It is very easy to brew, and it is good for anaemia, lack of red blood cells in the blood. It makes you dizzy and causes lack of strength, so if you don't want to bother with a proper health potion," or lack the ability to do it, "I suggest you brew this. It's also good for lack of iron, so let's start brewing!"
He didn't want to fold his amazing picture, but the kids should also learn this potion, so he tapped his wand at it and it folded itself to open the blackboard.
"As dragon heart is actually expensive, and rare," he eyed them all for it to sink, "you have to use it carefully. One heart should be enough for all the class, and uh," he glanced at his empty table, "I'll bring it and the scale while you do the first step." No one sight problems, he hoped? He didn't need to read it out himself, right?
Right.
With that, he quickly opened the door of store room and entered to get them.
Strength potion. Totally called it... not that it was exactly hard to figure out... you didn't have to be a Ravenclaw to notice.
That was quite interesting though. Was that how the pyramids had been built? She'd always wondered if magic had been involved... since nobody in the muggle world
really knew how they'd moved all those huge rocks. .... Anaemia and lack of iron were almost exactly the same thing... he did know that, right? That's why they gave iron tablets to people who were anaemic... Eh, she wasn't going to point it out. She was too... meh.
...
Wait...
two kilograms of dragon heart?! ... Jeez. Derry copied down the instructions from the board then took out her wand and cleaned her cauldron. Professor Lafay had always reminded them to do that... But she hadn't given them such comfortable seats so... pros and cons really.
Okay... ingredients. Derry stood up and collected all the ingredients - except the dragon's heart because... seriously...
what?
She measured two litres of water and poured it into her cauldron, then carefully added the unicorn tail hairs... and it struck her that it was probably cheaper just to buy a health potion... or steroids.
