Jace smiled as soon he heard the very familiar morning greeting in Japanese. For a moment, he eyed Haddie and hoped she caught the professor’s fine example. Professor Art was kind enough to study his language and decided to be respectful about it. “Ohayo gozaimasu, Newton-sensei.” The Ravenclaw replied.

As the lesson started, the tiny second year got his notes and quill ready. Sitting straighter, and craning his neck to see what was up front, Jace pondered on the question and eyed each of the ingredients as soon as it was revealed. His eyes landed automatically on the mottled shards…which looked a lot like tortoise shell, and the caterpillars. Immediately, his hand was up in the air.

“Are we going to make an Ageing Potion today, professor? I see you’ve got pieces of tortoise shell and caterpillars.” He said as he retracted his arm back and got his Potion’s book, “The others ingredients could be…red wine, prune juice…hairy fungus, and bat tongue?” What in the name of Merlin are they going to do with a bat's tongue? Chop it up?

Gross.
