Merlin!! Was Professor Culloden serious?? He had deliberately made those mistakes?? Alarmed Sander looked inside his potion to see it first turning black and begin smoking even more.
No..no....no.....Sander began to panic looking around at the other students' reactions.
Now this is what they called the Final Countdown. Make or break time. We need a Hail Mary. All Sander knew was that he had to somehow fix this mess up or he wasn't going to pass this Final.
As they were allowed to partner up, Sander looked for the nearest available person.
THE HEAD BOY!!
SPOILER!!: Alec

Alec STARED at Culloden in complete and utter disbelief. Did he just say that things... hadn't gone well?! BLINK. BLINK. This was probably one of those times when he really wished his old age was making him hear things. Maybe he could have heard that their potion was... doing wonderfully! Yeah. Or that they just needed to do something else to it and then they were done.
But, as his grey eyes glanced down at his potion, a feeling of panic started settling in. It was black. And muddy. And... yeah. No. This was not right. And did Culloden say that they had three and a half hours left to fix things? ... Uh oh. His complexion paled considerably. Maybe it was the panic or maybe it was the fumes but the boy couldn't even begin to think of how this was going to be fixed.
... Breathe... breathe...
That was helping. Trying to look calm and level headed as he should be at... times like this, the Head Boy looked up and around the classroom. Culloden had said that they could work in pairs, right? And that was what he was going to do. Work with someone else. Because two minds were better than one. The problem was... ... who?
"Does anyone need a partner?" Or wanted to work with him?
Sander walked over to Alec. "
I'll partner up with you, if you don't mind. I could use your logical thinking right about now," Sander grinned sheepishly at his fellow Hufflepuff.
"
I think we need to review our notes and see what needs correcting. What do you think?" Sander suggested asked Alec for his opinion before looking at his own notes.
