Originally Posted by Fireheart Ah, the polyjuice potion. Exactly the potion Shreya figured Cornelia would be asking about. Several students had been curious lately, and she didn't blame them. She had been fielding more and more questions about it during lessons, although she had to be careful in her answers. With the Inquisitorial Squad watching her every move, she didn't want to say something that would put anyone at risk. "Claudine is correct," Shreya replied, trying to figure out the best way to discuss the complex brew with a first year. For some reason, polyjuice potion was the one potion that students were most drawn to. Shreya wanted to be honest in her responses, but she didn't want to give anyone any ideas. There were too many dangers involved, which was precisely why students were not allowed to brew it themselves at Hogwarts. "The polyjuice potion can be a bit....uncomfortable, yes."
Shreya tried not to shudder as she recalled the horrors of the Opening Feast. How disturbing it must have been for the students to see their so-called Headmaster transforming before their eyes. "The transformative effects are typically more severe the longer the potion has been in use. So I imagine Mr. Rosier did experience quite a bit of discomfort." Given the fact that he had been polyjuiced as Trent for quite a long time, the man must have been in some pain—even if he didn't show it. Not that Shreya felt bad for him in the slightest.
She considered going on a tangent about the polyjuice potion. It was quite a fascinating brew, and she had a lot to say about it. But she figured she would let Cornelia ask her questions first. As the professor went on to answer her question about the potion, her blue eyes were looked on the woman intently. In general Cornelia was good at listening, but she was really good at it when it came to matters that interested her. And the Polyjuice Potion was something that interested her greatly for some reason. The whole idea of looking like someone else ... well ... she believed that could be quite useful at some point.
As the Potions professor went on, it was moments like these when the first year wished she had something to take notes on. She hadn't thought of doing such a thing since this was a simple visit and not a lecture. How she was going to remember everything, though, well, she was just going to have to do her best. Can be a bit uncomfortable ... effects more severe the longer in use ... Mr. Rosier ... quite a bit of discomfort... The fact that the professor addressed their Headmaster as anything but was glossed over by her. Cornelia was ready to move on to her next question. Or, rather, her next set of questions as she couldn't help herself. "When do we get to learn about the Polyjuice Potion in class? Do we get to brew it? Is it difficult to make? What are all of the risks? Does taking it mean you're a bad person?"
