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!"
Olly grinned at the idea of Jaemin sneaking some potions to try for himself when he wasn't supposed to. He was glad that the first batch of potions had worked well because it meant the other ones should as well, right? So it really should not be dangerous. Olly would not approve as much if he thought there was a possibility of danger.
"What human one are you going to try?" He was curious, of course. Was Jaemin going to be trying out some super exciting potion?
"I've gone in a few times. I like to swim." He supposed it would be a good place to get samples of plants and things, there were probably a lot of those around. That had not been Olly's intention, of course. But if that's what Jaemin found fun then whatever. He grinned at the suggestion of going swimming together.
"Yeah that would be fun! There are probably some plants in shallow areas if you wanted to get samples of those. I'm sure there are a lot more at the bottom but it would be hard to get down to the deep parts."
