After Mary was satisfied with her answer, she moved on to contemplating the liquid. It was clear, harmless looking, but this was the magical world. This sweet lady wouldn't hurt her? Right?

She grabbed the liquid off her desk and took a large sip. She figured she would just let go of fear and do it, or this, whatever it was, was never going be gone. Almost immediately, the hiccups came. She loudly began hiccuping, to a point where she was almost twice as loud as her normal talking voice. She started holding her breath, trying to get them to go away. It was no use, she was just a muggleborn, she knew nothing about actually getting rid of them.
