A quick look at her working station told her that her potion was almost complete. Onto the final step! The actual EMOTIONS part.

Leah already knew what emotion she was choosing. Probably not happiness. Who needed a potion to be HAPPY anyway? Same for excitement. She did not really want to experience fear OR anger. Although tenderness would be useful, the thought of creating a potion just for that seemed - well, boring. So, sadness it was. The Hufflepuff surely needed a bit of sadness in her happy happy life.

She had her glumbumble treacle prepared. Now she needed the saddest moment in her life. And a sample of the base. Leah cleaned a phial and her ladle, then scooped her potion in. She stored it safely inside her bag, though she was not sure why they needed it.

As a rarely sad person, the Fifth Year had to think really hard for her sad memory. Her thoughts landed on the day when she heard that her grandmother had died. She cried a lot. Her independent, not very emotional mum cried a lot. Leah still remembered the warmth of her grandmother's hug and consoling voice. It was a deep sadness that was... difficult to describe. She added her teaspoon of treacle quickly to get this over with.

Then, she scooped out two more samples of the potion and placed them away from her base sample to not get herself confused. "Evanesco," she vanished the leftover contents of her cauldron. She simply listened to the discussion about antidotes as she cleaned up her working station because she had NO IDEA what it would be.

Ohhh, it was the base itself. That was quite intriguing. Maybe she should have gotten more samples of it JUST in case. Upon reading the final notes revealed on the Blackboard, Leah held one of her samples up to check its color. It was a dark shade of grey, which was a good thing? A smile appeared on her face but then -

Explosions happened. Before she knew it, she was hit by a Slytherin boy's potion in the arm. A rash appeared on the spot, but surprisingly, it did not hurt at all. Or cause any actual harm. So yeah that was that. Was class even dismissed? The Professor looked really mad. Maybe he needed a Happiness Potion himself. She packed her bag cautiously. "Thank you Professor Culloden. Uh bye!" she gave him a smile and walked out of the classroom.
