Even if Maggie was relieved about the fact that it was 'only' a simple Babbling Potion, she didn't show it. She was though. Especially considering who she was sitting too. Of course, there were worse people she could have been trying out potions with, but Paige was definitely NOT on her list of trustworthy partners regarding that.

ANYWAY, a simple Babbling Potion wasn't so bad.

Babbling wasn't so bad.

Still simply ignoring Paige next to her, Maggie quickly made a list of the ingredients before taking that list with her to the supply cabinet. Making sure she didn't forget anything and all that. At least it seemed they didn't have to use anything TOO gross for this potion. Somehow after seven years of Potions class even Maggie had gotten used to using leeches and bile. It was just part of the job. Besides, gloves were a thing.

Once she'd gotten everything, Maggie returned to her workstation, laying out her ingredients in the correct order that she would have to use them. Okay. Cleaning everything wasn't too hard. She even did it nonverbally. Like, she was cool like that, you know. Now. Onto adding the wa-

Babbling nonsense - that was safe and may even be, dare she say it, a fun experience to share with the Slytherin. Or perhaps she was once again skipping down the yellow brick road of optimism.

Probably.

Before gathering her ingredients, the seventh year copied down what was on the board and added a few additional notes. Once satisfied, she headed to the supply cupboard and took out what she needed, returning to her station and carefully laiding everything out in the order of its use - double checking the recipe to make sure she was recalling things correctly.

Wand out, Paige cast a silent Scourgify on her cauldron after setting it on her burner - one of the few spells she COULD perform silently - and then stood to peer inside to administer an Aguamenti to fill it with the appropriate amount of water. Eyeing the line carved on the inside indicating 500 ml, the Hufflepuff cleared her thoat before uttering the incantation. "Aguamenti."

To her delight, her wand DID produce water...only the pressure in which she had done so was NOT the desired result. Conjuration was difficult, okay? Even if this particular spell was within her wheelhouse of charmswork as well.

Solid jet of water shooting forth, Paige was nearly knocked off her stool and cauldron nearly off her burner - although she managed to grip by the rim before it did that, which really only made matters worse as the water struck the bottom of the cauldron with enough momemtum to shoot right back in her face.........................

-ter.

With a shriek Maggie JUMPED BACK away from the insane person next to her. Unfortunately, she was a second too late and ended up drenched with water anyway. D R E N C H E D. Okay, maybe not drenched but she was wet. Definitely wet. Her hair was wet. HER HAIR WAS WET. "IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'RE GOOD AT?!" She glared at Paige while trying to do damage-control on her hair. UGH UGH UGH UGH.

Would Professor Newton allow her to leave for five minutes to find a bathroom and fix it?
