If bright red is your favourite colour, make a friend look at it, because the potion changes colours according to who's looking at it. I'll lock the classroom after you leave, so don't you worry." Was that clear enough? Hopefully. He waved his wand again, and the properties of the potion appeared.
"It also has another effect: not only will you hate the first person you see, but you will also act so terribly towards them that they will probably hate you back. It will sharpen your tongue, so if your friend criticises everything after I post the homework, don't be quick to judge them." Now, he HAD warned them. "The taste is bitter and will remain for a day..." He paused to think what else he could say. "You'll also feel fatigued once the effect wears off. That's it, I believe. Oh, and the duration is roughly 3 to 5 hours."
Now, be good, don't explode anything and everyone be happy. So close. So close to being done.
Sophie briefly wondered how the potion would change with different types of spider being added, or if it truly would make a huge difference one way or another, but she busied herself with re-cleaning her gloves, the tabletop, and the equipment she had just used before moving on. She kept an eye on Culloden, too - surprisingly, he hadn't murdered anyone nor even come close to it, and she wondered what exactly it was that was making him so... human-like today.
Even though she wasn't sure of the cause, she was going to take some of the credit for that anyway.
Slipping the gloves back on her hands, Sophie shuffled around in the drawers of her potions kit before finding the common spider she needed, which she added to her cauldron, then she was quick to find where she kept the crocodile teeth and pulled two out. She scrutinized them carefully, dropping one into her cauldron and studying the one she had left over closely - these things were pretty cool, weren't they? - and when the potion made a grumbling noise at her, she laughed shortly and added the other crocodile tooth, too.
...Was that it? Was she finished?
Relieved, Soph cleaned her area and packed her things away in her potions kit, made some various notes to herself about the potion in her journal, then, when she was all set and ready to go, she stuck her hand high in the air to get Culloden's attention, grinning expectantly and beckoning him to come over to her. C'mon, PRETTY PLEASE?
