What?? She had answered something correctly in potions class? She almost couldn’t believe it. She would have to remember to thank her father the next time she spoke with him. He would be proud of her.

She carefully jotted down the flavor zones on her parchment and focused her attention back on Professor Noble. His next question sparked something in her mind. She remembered talking about the miracle berry, but she couldn’t remember exactly what it was.

“Sir, the miracle berry can switch how things taste. It’s either makes something that’s sour taste sweet, or something sweet taste sour. I can’t remember which way.” She was sure it was those two and it seemed to her it was the sour to sweet since it was her dad that had talked about it. No one would want sour tasting pastries. He’d be much more interested in something being sweet. “I don’t know how it works, maybe something in the juice of the berry reacts with what you put it on.”

Now, things they could test out, she knew those. “Lemons are sour, sugar is sweet, coffee is bitter, and salt is salty. I'm not sure what would work for umami.” She was definitely going to have to thank her father for today. She knew her answers might not be exactly what Professor Noble was looking for, but she at least had some idea after so many years helping in the family bakery.
