A concentration potion? That was exactly what Bonnie needed right now. The last few days hadn't been easy and she found herself drifting away elsewhere in class. She had no idea what she was doing and that did not sit well with her. Back home she was top at everything: classes, popularity, style. Here? Her old friends wouldn't recognise her in a dowdy pink lab coat.

Catching herself slipping off, she reiterated the Professor's question to herself. The practice with the candle had nothing to do with potion making? Bonnie questioned whether it even had anything to do with magic at all.

Raising a perfectly manicured hand, Bonnie added: "Professor, is the point of the candle to make you concentrate on something singular, rather than your surroundings. Like in yoga where you're supposed to clear your mind?"
