Hearing Rachel's words of comfort, Esme's eyes flickered towards her friend. The gesture meant a lot and she found herself smiling despite the fact that there wasn't much to smile about with the way that she was feeling at the moment. "Thanks. That means a lot. I think I might need the help." It was hard to follow instructions when feeling scared and ill at ease. She hadn't even brought her owl to the lesson, instead opting for her Pygmy Puff, Sparkle. Even though she felt comfortable with Barnaby, at this point the thought of using a bird had freaked her out too much - even if HE was the bird in question.

Plucking leaves off of a sprig wasn't easy with shaking hands, and Esme muttered under her breath as she attempted to separate the 15 Belladonna leaves. The sprigs kept falling onto her desk which made her mutter even more. Why had Professor Newton made them do this for the lesson? Why couldn't he have chosen any other potion? So long as birds weren't involved she was good to go even if this wasn't her best subject.

Finally after what felt like a million years she had managed to pull away all of the leaves. Once they had all been added to the cauldron, she put her head against the desk which caused Sparkle to squeak. It seemed that her Pygmy Puff had picked up on her mood. How perceptive of her.

SPOILER!!: Esme's Notes
