"Yes, you are right," Diane agreed with a complacent smile. "It is because I am lacking on academic experience." She said this, but, it didn't hold all true; she was a tad bit more familiar with Golpalott's third law that she cared to disclose at this minute.

Nonetheless, it was brilliant to listen to the explanations. She paid the attention a todder would have for a fairies story... that is borne of the secondary interactions of each individual blend of ingredients coupled with the source of magic itself... It was absolutely facinating. Of course, you do not need to nullify the whole of a potion to change its effects, but not knowing the ingredients and attempting an antidote could cause... fatalities. Indeed.

...there are too many variables to consider- contaminants and such-- that could be considered 'ingredients' but are not, strictly speaking, part of my catalogue. Yes, yes, which was why it would have been helpful to have the sample for the lake be different to the sample from the flood. But, of course, it was a little bit more complicated than that. Second, there were things being brewed in my lab that were highly sensitive and confidential; I simply cannot divulge them to this group at this time. Now here, that had her raise an eyebrow. She said nothing. She only watched as the professor performed another kind of spell... what a handy thing, she will need to learn that one too--

Diane was momentarily startled by the professor's urgent call, which got her moving even before realizing where she was supposed to go. "We split alright, but first we need to go through the DADA professor's offices. We need a spell to hold a ghost," she told then, getting her bag over her shoulders.
