But she just couldn't risk the chance that her potion might have made anyone sick. Now that she'd brought it up, she couldn't go behind Shreya's back, either, because someone would find out and she'd get in trouble.

Violet pondered whether she should mention who it was for--she wasn't sure she wanted to. Professor Schmoe probably wouldn't want attention drawn to the fact that he'd been looking perfectly horrible for the past few weeks, though for the same reason he probably wouldn't go to see the Healer on his own. Drat! Violet thought now that she should probably forget the whole thing, but now that she'd brought it up, she should probably say something.

"Um, well, it was actually for...for a teacher. I didn't know there were rules about it. I guess...we should probably just forget about the whole thing." Though someone should be looking out for Professor Schmoe, because he looked like yesterday's porridge warmed over.

Ohhh. Her heart sank at the realization: Violet's potion must be for Professor Schmoe. He was the only teacher that looked like he needed one right now. And Shreya didn't blame Violet for thinking so. In fact, it was commendable for her to want to help. "Your heart is in the right place, Ms. Blackthorne." Shreya thought of her former classmate Finneas, who seemed to look more haggard by the day. A brief wave of anger coursed through her at the Neo-Alliance and the situation at Hogwarts, but she tried to brush it away. There was no use. Until she had more of a plan, acting on any of her feelings could only get the students into trouble with Rosier. And that was what she wanted to avoid, more than anything else.

"It's incredibly kind of you to want to help. But you must realize that the repercussions would be....extreme." She had to be careful of her words here, in case she was being watched. Or listened to. One could never know which Inquisitorial Squad members were lurking around lately. "And you cannot risk putting yourself or other students in danger." Shreya didn't know Professor Schmoe incredibly well, but she figured that he would prioritize student safety above himself. Though her heart was touched by Violet's gesture—and it made her briefly think of ways to help Finneas herself—she knew that defying the alliance could get them all hurt.
