Now, about the concerns...
"It isn't the exact fire, yes," he announced to the class, "but it is fire. If we didn't make sure it was at a warm temperature for us and add a certain ingredient," he smirked nastily, because they weren't going to like it, "it would burn like every normal fire does. Worry not, though. The salamander blood in it takes care of our mouth, and that one makes sure nothing catches on fire. We won't feel pain, because there won't be any scars to begin with. When breathed on skin, it will tickle and be hot enough to warm you up in a cold winter day. Because only then it makes sense: to harm someone with it, say, in a duel, you would be have to be harmed too, because it is coming off you. The blood doesn't let scars to happen, but it doesn't lower the heat in your mouth either." He nearly bounced on his feet. He was curious how many would make 'eeeeew I'm not drinking that,' faces.
"Those who said we don't have the same body parts were correct too, obviously. That's why, this potion is not to be drunk." Did everyone note that? Because he wasn't repeating anything. "You won't die, though, if you drink it unless you're a sissy who can't handle a bit of pain." Were they? He eyed them. He forgot to say what it would do, though.
Hmm.
"So, this is like those things muggles use, as some of you have mentioned. Because we keep it in our mouth, we actually ignite that. So, we won't transform our body into a dragon's. We can breathe fire until we run out of the potion.
"If this isn't an offensive potion, why do you think it was invented? Where can we use it?"
Sophie wasn't really concerned about the potion. She'd had enough experience
watching people with potions to know that yes, there was danger, but you might have to put up with a little bit of danger in order to achieve the end result. She eyed the people with concerns.
Wimps.
Sophie smirked when the professor used the word 'sissy'. RIGHT ON, PROFESSOR! You tell 'em! Now, why was the potion invented? She raised her hand.
"We can use it in a duel to keep our opponents from coming any closer than we want them to," she suggested.
Or we could burn their hair to a crisp when they weren't looking. That'd be funny!
