But... hadn't she already told the girl her name? She was certain she had. Not a good listener, was she? "Sophie," she offered once more, "and you're a good friend-picker. What's an Oggie?"

Oh, right right. Sophie. She'd remember it this time. "Oh, yeah. We had Potions last term at Durmstrang, but it's different depending on the 'fessor, you know?" Dot stared at her gloves before deciding they needed to be cleaned again. She tugged them off and Scourgified them. Just in case.

"Oggie is my dad person. How do you get to be a 'fessor's favorite?"

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.

Gloves went back on, and then Dot quickly dropped first the spider and then the tooth into her cauldron. She didn't even have qualms about it, which maybe made her a bad person? If some people had problems working with parts, and here she was dropping spiders in like #NBD?

What did grumbling sound like? Cupping a hand around her ear, Dot leaned in just slightly to listen for the sound, and when it came, it actually made her giggle. Out loud, even! Grumpy potion face, here was another crocodile tooth for you! Her potion was red, which was kind of a relief, and Dot tugged gently on Sophie's arm before the girl was allowed to leave. "I diiiiid it, look."
