"Has it been working so far?" The whole miniature plants thing, if he was understanding correctly.

"What good are the experiments if you can't test them? Then you don't even know if they work." It seemed pointless to him. If the whole reason for the small plants was to see if they were still as effective when they were smaller, then you had to actually test the potion to see if it was still effective. But maybe Jaemin had meant that he just couldn't try them himself. "Have you tested them on something else?"

"It was fun. I love to swim. Did you go in the black lake at all?" It was a bit different from a beach of course, but it was still swimming. And in some ways it could be more fun because the water was not salty, and there was a giant squid. Well Olly thought that was fun, but some people might find that a little scary.

The potions so far, to his knowledge, were working okay. Some of the first ones weren't meant to be for humans, because it was better to find out that they were bad if it was tested on plants or inanimate objects... despite Jaemin's sadness over the idea of dying plants. But so far none of the plants had died, and nothing had exploded, so things were going rather swimmingly.

"Dad says he's gonna try the human ones on himself... the first ones weren't for humans but they seemed to work okay, so now it's time for 'phase two'." He frowned and leaned in to whisper. "I'm gonna sneak one of the potions while he's not looking so I can try too."

He had to do it. He just had to. It was his experiment too!

Did he go in the Black Lake? Jaemin shook his head slowly. He'd been a bit apprehensive about being on the grounds last term, because of the... well, the old hag that had disappeared into the woods. He stuck himself to Creatures classes and the greenhouses and only ventured off around the grounds when accompanied by Paul or another student, for the most part. He wanted to live.

"I wanna go in there to get samples of stuff, but I didn't do it. Maybe this school year?" He tapped his chin thoughtfully. If Olly was with him, then it'd be safe, right? They were both very grown up now, after all. They were twelve. They could take care of themselves! "We can go swimming together when it's warm!"
