Sensing that this perhaps wasn't going to be a short meeting, Noble slipped into his chair, and gestured for Daisy to do the same. "I appreciate your efforts," he said, taking the notebook to look through, but not having actually glanced down the list yet. "But I highly doubt the students involved brewed the polyjuice potion here at school themselves, and many of the ingredients need special permission from me to access." No-one had approached him asking for boomslang skin or bicorn horn, and even after many, many remedial lessons, Zoryn Spinnet's brewing skills were woefully inattentive; there was no way she'd have the patience to wait a month. Having purchased it in advanced over the summer would make much more sense.

Although confusion crossed Noble's face as he did finally look down at the list. "When you say disappeared...you mean you couldn't find any lacewing flies, fluxweed, knotgrass or leeches?" All were common enough ingredients, the knotgrass even easily obtainable on the grounds. So for so much to disappear was suspicious, especially when he'd checked the logbook and supplies the previous evening. He pursed his lips, tapping them thoughtfully. "That's curious indeed." Irrelevant to the polyjuice incident, but something that needed investigating.

As for the books? Noble didn't look too concerned. "I suggest you talk to the librarian about the missing books. It's probably just someone conveniently forgetting to sign them out for their homework." It was selfish, but it happened.
