Sutton hadn't entirely had a chance to prepare herself when the room went entirely black. She jumped and glanced around, looking for some shred of light, but there was none to be found. Then she heard Professor Hadley's voice from the front of the classroom explaining what they were to do, and Sutton calmed down a bit.
When the box came down the row to Sutton, she felt what was inside and her brow furrowed. This was familiar to her, she knew. As her hands felt the way to the top, she noticed there was a flip cap. Not everyone in the class would recognize this, probably. Did wizards have flip caps like this? Popping it open, she turned it upside down, but nothing came out. She gave it a little shake and heard that there was, indeed, liquid in it.
Curious...
Squeezing it, a good amount of the liquid came out in her hand. She gave it a sniff, and it had a faint smell... it reminded her of her mother's kitchen. Her very, very clean kitchen. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she brought her hand up to her face and tasted the liquid with the tip of her tongue. Her cheeks grew tight as her lips puckered at how sour it was.
Closing the flip cap, she put it back in the box and passed it down the line.
Yuck.
Lemon juice.
