With a slight twisting motion of her wand, Adrienne turned the heat of the fire down to a more medium burn, and then looked around frantically. She didn't have a watch or anything... With a start she remembered the enchanted hourglass she'd 'accidentally' pocketed at her grandparents' this summer and immediately dove into her bag to get it. Fantastic! She should really use this more often, as it was incredibly handy. She moved the dial on the top to read five minutes, and then flipped it upside down, watching the sand slowly pour into the bottom bulb.

She'd already cleaned everything, of course, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to cast another sweeping "Scourgify!" over her bowl, cup, and spoon, pouring the salamander blood in moments later. See, Adrienne was being efficient, and not just staring at the sand in her hourglass, which is what she was tempted to do.

Moving up to the front of the room, she got a single cup of re'em blood, which looked to be more water than blood, in her opinion. "Sir, how do you know how much to dilute it? Since you said before that it would be super expensive otherwise."

SPOILER!!: I'm pretty sure our charries met last year, but if not please excuse the familiarity!

Adrienne wasn't sure what was going on with Gwen, or why she looked so flustered, but if she was having difficulty reading for some reason, her new, kind self was happy to help instead of making fun! The temptation was strong, sure, but she was trying to make new friends, right? And even though she already knew this girl pretty well, she still wanted to do her best to stay on her good side. Besides, if she remembered correctly, Culloden sometimes gave points for people who helped out, and she would definitely not say no to some extra points.

"Hey, Gwen," she said, walking over to the girl on her right (and conveniently away from the firstie who'd thrown up in her potion, which was still grossing Adrienne out). "If you don't want to walk all the way up there you can just use my notes, or I can read them aloud to you if that's easier."

Of course, her mom told her that it didn't mean anything except that her brain worked differently from everyone else's, but Gwen knew different. She knew that she could never be as smart as the book-loving Ravenclaws who were probably all looking at her and hoping her stupidity didn't lose them points right now. She should explain. "It's just that it's easier to keep the letters in order if I can run my finger under them as I read." So her brain was forced to watch the actual progression of them, not whatever jumbled mess it wanted to give her. Or someone could just read them out loud to her. That would work just as well.
