"Austin Moore, it's-it's nice to meet you." Art raised his eyebrows in pleasant surprise, and rubbed at his chin. "You DID? Well how marvellous. What potion was it?" he asked. Of course he was interested in learning that other people had created their own potions. "Oh no, no not at all. Take a seat," he said, motioning to his desk. He always had time to talk about potions. Art went around the other side of the table, his side, and sat down. "Do you have them with you?" he was curious.

Austin sat down eagerly. He didn't get many chances these days to talk potions. And to talk with the new potions teacher, just boosted his spirits even more. And he wanted to know about what potion he made? This was chalking up to be a really great day. "Well, it's called the 'Dreamless Sleep' potion. I mainly made it to help with Nightmares. It's supposed to remove them, so one could get a good night's rest. The only downside is that it also takes away dreams." He originally made it to help with the nightmares that followed after his mother's death.

"I never leave the common room without them."Reaching into his messenger bag, that was still slung around his shoulder, he pulled out two notebooks. One had every page filled out with recipes from his first three years. It had everything from the Trust Me potion from his first year to his Dreamless Sleep potion. But no pages had been ripped out. Austin knew better. Important information could have been on a thrown away page, and he wasn't about to lose anything. The second book was similar to the other, but was a lot newer. He had rewritten the recipe for his own potion in the front, but it included spells from last year.

"I ran out of room in my first book, so I had to get a second one." He placed them both on the desk. "I think the most interesting thing I've encountered is in the Mutatio Animalia." A potion that had turned him into a wolf last term. "After adding the boomslang skin, and stirring one has to wait. Which is normal. But a copper takes longer to wait than a Pewter one. Which is strange because normally it's the other way around." Curiouser and Curiouser.
