 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
His mind was very much focused on the contained ingredients, and the mystery surrounding them took up his thoughts. So much so that he nearly missed the professor's description about the potion they would be brewing. When he finally tuned in, he caught snippets that piqued his interest. From what he could gather, the potion sounded relatively simple, given the limited number of ingredients. Plus, the effects—relief from anxiety and the potential to induce deep sleep if brewed incorrectly—sounded great to him.
Beauden's brow furrowed as he tried to recall the name of the potion. It felt familiar, but his mind, still adjusting after the holiday break, couldn't quite make the connection. The only thing that came to mind (Anxiety-Relieving Potion) sounded too obvious and not right at all.
Instead, he decided to focus on the latter question, which offered an opportunity for open-ended and creative responses. He raised his hand, his voice playful and confident. "When it comes to identifying the ingredients," he proposed, "you can give each a good whiff. Or, if you really wanted to take things up a notch, give each a little taste." A slight grin started tugging on the corners of his lips at the thought of such daring behaviour.
"Of course, there may be potential consequences to relying first on those particular senses," he continued, shrugging his shoulders with a nonchalant air. "But sometimes potion-making calls for a little experimentation."
