Hogwarts RPG Name: Adrienne Rebecca Colbert Seventh Year | Post 1: Swapping potions The Last of Her Kind Quote:
Originally Posted by Presley Black Finishing up her potion according to the directions, Gwen was admittedly nervous about drinking someone else's potion.

Then Adrienne asked if Gwen wanted to trade potions with her. Adrienne was a fourth year. Her potion was probably the best offer Gwen was going to get. She glanced at her own thick yellow potion and nodded. "Yeah, okay. But if it's bad or something, I'm really sorry." It looked right, but that could just be a fluke. Just so that Adrienne understood that if something went wrong, it wasn't Gwen trying to poison her.
The second year cleaned a cup and scooped some of the steaming hot potion into it, offering it to Adrienne. Oh, fantastic, she wasn't going to have to seek out someone else she trusted enough not to "accidentally" have put poison in their potion. "Here, take mine," Adrienne said, handing the cup she'd just filled with gross yellow liquid to Gwen. She still didn't understand how it had managed to turn yellow, since most of the ingredients had been red and whiteish, but hey, she supposed that was what magic did, right?
Taking the cup from Gwen's hand, she made a disgusted face at the whole thing, and then squeezed her eyes shut and downed it all in one go.
And yes, it was just as bad tasting as it had looked. Maybe more. However, Adrienne was distracted from that by the way she felt a sudden wave of dizziness, causing her to sit down abruptly. It passed as quickly as it had come, thankfully, and within moments she was beginning to feel stronger. She stayed sitting just in case, but it was as if her body had grown lighter. She sat up straight effortlessly, when usually it was a hassle for her to stop slouching, and a few minor aches and pains, like a stubbed pinkie toe and the bruise on her left arm, seemed to fade away into almost nothing. "This is fantastic!" Adrienne laughed.
