Violet slumped back with disappointment. Rules! Of course there would be a rule about this. And Violet made potions for herself all the time, she had probably been violating school policy for years.

She regretted now having brought up the subject, she could have just given the potion away without asking first and no one would have been the wiser. But she just couldn't risk the chance that her potion might have made anyone sick. Now that she'd brought it up, she couldn't go behind Shreya's back, either, because someone would find out and she'd get in trouble.

Violet pondered whether she should mention who it was for--she wasn't sure she wanted to. Professor Schmoe probably wouldn't want attention drawn to the fact that he'd been looking perfectly horrible for the past few weeks, though for the same reason he probably wouldn't go to see the Healer on his own. Drat! Violet thought now that she should probably forget the whole thing, but now that she'd brought it up, she should probably say something.

"Um, well, it was actually for...for a teacher. I didn't know there were rules about it. I guess...we should probably just forget about the whole thing." Though someone should be looking out for Professor Schmoe, because he looked like yesterday's porridge warmed over.
