What Raiden was saying made sense. Phoenixes couldn't simply be sold like a common magical pet. Even if it was to another country, they would find there way back to their original owner. As she listened, she scribbled down the next steps. Her friend was making a valid point, and there conversation was a nice background noise as she worked on her potion.

She wasn't even worried about the professor flipping out on them and doing something crazy. That was mainly because she was focused on her potion.

That was until Raiden said that. Her wide eyes flicked up from her ingredients to his backside. He had spent most of his life in St. Mungos......dying? What was, or had been wrong with him that he had spent so much time in the hospital dying?

A small frown laced her features as she added flies into her potion. This did explain why her friend was so intrigued by how the woman had acquired the phoenix tears. Her eyes flicked up at the prefect again as she stirred twice clockwise and five times counter clockwise.
