Baking is super precise and requires some chemistry, and potions is similar like that."

That was a good idea. She thought Jessa was really cool, and pretty approachable. Perhaps she'd do that... yes... she briefly wondered why Jessa would know. If she was super talented at charms, or potions, or something. She WAS Prefect after all, so perhaps she was. Finn was muggle born? "Was that really hard for you to adjust here?" She'd met a girl who was muggle-born, before getting on the train, and she seemed really upset. "Oh yeah, like when you don't add enough egg and get a brownie that crumbles in your hands." Hanna was pretty upset when that happened. She'd been really looking forward to the brownie.

Hanna felt herself blush at Finn's encouragement. But his own answer was wicked! Hanna wasn't sure how she'd go with transfiguration, but of course she'd heard it was very difficult.

Hanna jotted down a few of the answers Professor Noble agreed with, and felt encouraged that he thought she was on the right path. She totally ignored the grimace, of course. Following the writing of some of the answers, Hanna continued with the instructions for the Potion. Foxglove flowers...

She opted, this time, to let Finn get his own flowers. Not being rude, but just in case there was some secret here too. Surely there wouldn't be, though. 4 grams of petals was hardly anything. She went up to the top of the room to collect a small, and a large leaf. Should be 4 grams, or thereabouts.

Back to her desk, she started copying the Professor and pulling the petal away from the green sepal. She did it very carefully, just in case she ended up being short of 4 grams by some minuscule amount. But weighing it out, she was slightly over. She plucked away a tiny bit more until it was exactly 4 grams.
