If she hadn't persuaded herself to put "Plan: Revival" into motion, there was no way Rachel would be caught dead down here this early in the term. She was in her sixth year, for Merlin's sake - sixth years had a calming down period; it was the whole point!

But, as it were, the Ravenclaw had needed a potion. Fast. Trouble was - she had no idea if such a potion existed and if on did, how to brew it. And if one DIDN'T it was time to get her old OWL brain back in gear and pluck up the courage to ask Kazimeriz for suggestions.

As she stepped into the potions lab, she noticed happily that the place was empty except for the Professor, of course. Shooting a smile at him, Rachel picked a spot at the back of the lab and began setting up, making sure that she had her gloves, goggles, wand and any other safety thing near at hand. You never know what you might get brewing a potion.

Although THIS sort of potion might not be so hazardous...

"Professor, sir, I was wondering if you could help me out with something," she began, addressing the ancient senior Professor as she walked towards him. I should have gone to the library instead... "You see - I am having trouble sleeping at night and therefore I look terrible in the morning so I, er, frequently have to apply a Glamour charm to keep myself presentable," this was SO weird, "I was wondering if there was a potion that I could take each morning instead of using the charm every few hours," Rachel finished off, extremely embarrassed but satisfied nevertheless.

Sure, she seemed just a tad girly but there were MUCH worse at this school... "Oh, and, how does one brew an effective Dreamless Sleep potion?" she added, figuring that that type of potion might be useful in the future.
