She HAD to have a partner now, no way was she getting stuck with that smug , smarmy, self adoring jerk.

Just then, when she had begun to fret....a baby badger squeaked at her. Could he be her little buddy? Well....why not? At least she got to pick him and not get stuck with someone insufferable. "You certainly can.", she replied gently to the younger boy with a smile. It seemed that she was a Puff magnet....

Did this child just...offer to poison himself for her? Yup, it was a Puff....It did however, make more sense for her to brew first. She had a far higher chance of success, after all. She had several years more experience than he did and she could show him / give him pointers in the brew.....then hopefully the child could do it for himself. Hopefully she would not suffer the effects of whatever the potions professor was subjecting them to for long.... "Come, set up beside me." The sixteen year old patted the space next to her pretty copper cauldron. She....kind of wanted to pat the child on the head and tell him that he was a good boy.....better not.

Ilia gathered herself and walked up to the front, gathering all of the ingredients that would be needed. Bezoars and mistletoe was a rather interesting combination.....
"Yay!" Carl had a partner! He put down his stuff next to the Slytherin's cauldron. Since she was okay with him drinking the potion first, he walked up to the front and got a sample. With the little cup in his hand, he returned to his new work space. "My name is Carl." He informed the older girl with a smile.

He then watched as Professor Newton began writing instructions on the board. They looked awfully complicated. There were too many places where he could easily make a mistake. He could add the standard ingredient before the crushed Bezoar. He could stir anti-clockwise before stirring clockwise. He glanced at his partner and nodded, indicating that he was okay with doing this.

Carl inhaled, brought the cup to his lips and drank the elixir.
