Lafay was leaving?
Ella hoped nothing bad had happened. The blonde also wasn't completely comfortable because some of the first years should probably not be left alone brewing whatever they wanted from their text book. She'd seen what could happen when a potion went wrong and yeah, it was unsettling. At least Wade and Kat were around to take charge if needed. She'd help too, of course. She'd just need to keep an eye out for anyone having trouble is all. She also needed to figure out what potion she was going to make. Hm.
After scanning the textbook a bit, the blonde settled on the basic sleeping draft. She was no stranger to nightmares and it couldn't hurt to get some experience making this particular potion.
SPOILER!!: Text Book
