A lot of them don't make very much sense, it's like they aren't really English so reading them's kinda hard." Rusty turned to the page that her owl-decorated bookmark was on and tapped her finger on the passage she'd been reading, which was written in some sort of old fashioned english, with lots of long words and things. "It's about acorns and I'm trying to figure out if you can replace larvae and stuff with seeds cause they're like baby plants so they still have all the life inside them and I thiiiiink that's what larvae are used for."

...

But she wasn't wholly sure, so she was trying to find out if anyone had done comparisons before.

Not quite what Clara had intended when she had moved up for Rusty, but, okay.

The seventh year perked up at the mention of Potions, it was one of her favourite subjects. Odd, considering the facts that it was basically like cooking, yet she couldn't cook. "Old English? I could try and help you understand them, if you like." She wasn't perfect at 'translating' older English into modern text, but she probably knew more than Rusty did.

Blink, blink. Interesting concept. "You might be right," she nodded, impressed. "It's always worth a shot to find out?" Obviously, with potions, a lot could go wrong, but if enough research went into it and they had ways of reversing the effects then it shouldn't be a problem. "It's possible that it could weaken the effects of the potion, but ..... you never know." Honestly, Gabriel was a better person to ask about it all. Not that Rusty had asked, but ...... Clara was intrigued, okay?
