Professor Branxton more than just relieved to be through with this nonsense. "Good. You are dismissed. Those who wish to get a head start on our first actual potions lesson can write an essay on the uses of Billywigs as ingredients for potions," he said and then leaned back in the chair, his eyes closed as he removed his glass with his right hand and began to rub his left temple with the other.
ooc: I know there may not be much information on Billywigs but, use what information you can find to be creative in your essays (should you wish to turn one in). I award 1-10 points for homeworks based on the effort and creativity put into it. That doesn't necessarily mean someone who writes a book will get any more credit than someone who writes a well thought out, concisely written paragraph. So, please keep that in mind if you're concerned about earning points.
