Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Actually, no. Desiree hadn’t struggled to pick a side at all. There were plenty of reasons to use Felix Felicis that weren’t unethical, like stopping a dark wizard or not turning into a beast in front of the whole school, for example! Speaking of which, could they please get on with it?! She could turn into a wombat at any moment, and she’d like to get to the potion brewing before that happened, thank you very much!
She was practically on the edge of her seat, waiting for the next set of instructions, and… Her face fell slightly when the professor asked another question. Asdfjkl!!! Why couldn’t this wait until the end?! Her mind raced, frantically searching for an answer. The sooner she answered, the sooner she could start brewing and hopefully get some potion to take with her to stop the teddy rat transformations!
She’d kind of already answered this question with her reasoning for the last one. Unsurprisingly, using Felix Felicis for a test was one of the first things said. Then her thoughts turned to using the potion to influence someone else’s free will for selfish reasons, like getting someone to date you, but that was said too. Ugh! What else could she say? Maybe there was another example of influencing someone’s free will that she could use. Then it came to her, and her hand shot up. “Blackmail, Professor,” she said. “It’s not okay to use the potion to gain information that you plan to use to harm someone’s reputation.”
