Where there this few students last time? He only counted a few bodies, and none he really knew off the top of his head. But Austin didn't really mind it, he liked the seclusion the smaller classes provided. Well, it wasn't really a class, but still. The atmosphere was inviting with a small amount of people.

He thought about the question. His mother never created her own potion, so it wasn't something he knew about. Which, actually, he was glad about. Sure, he was amazing at potions, but if he knew everything, he wouldn't be here right now. There wouldn't be much of a point if there weren't anything to learn. So Austin went on what he thought, based on what he knew. Even though there weren't many people, he still felt the need to raise his hand. It wasn't really about him getting called on, it was more about making sure he wasn't talking over people. "Professor, I'm going to assume that there was a lot of experimentation involved. If other potion master's notes were preserved from earlier years, current masters can use them to further experiments."
