Hermy smiled as she looked at the activity going on in the weirdly large cupboard, and sub consciously fingered her locket. It had become almost habit nowadays, especially when people mentioned the missing students. It made her stomach drop as she thought about where Finn could possibly be.

Frowning slightly, a thought popped into Hermy's head. "Professors, I don't mean to seem negative, but surely we need to find the students first? Maybe some of us could research a way of doing so whilst the potion is brewing." At that she fell silent, a look of concern flickering across her face.
