Zeke had done what he was under the impression he did best, stealthy enter class and sit quietly as if he were invisible and not even present... but of course he was, VERY present. This whole potions workshop thing was going to be EPIC... EPIC... so he was here, listening, contributing and taking notes in his head. Yep.

Being this was a quick meeting, he had a couple of thoughts on Professor Culloden's first questions. Hand up, he offered his own take on the how.

"Because you want the potion to do SOMETHING particular, you need to find ingredients that help have that effect, their properties and whatnot, so if you're wanting to make a healing balm or something for your sunburn, having something that soothes like aloe vera is a vital ingredient for what you want to achieve." Yeah. YEAH! "So potions need to be designed carefully based on what you want it to do or how you want it to act. But it's not just the ingredients, it's also how you put them together. You wouldn't want something crusty and crumbly if you want a balm for your lips, and you wouldn't want something rocky and too chunky to swallow if you need to drink it, so the form your ingredient takes is important too." Like, using rose petals instead of the thorns... or something.

That's what this Gryffindor had to say.
