Jane had just used the complicated protocols necessary to unlock the door to the Love Chamber and walked over the threshhold when she hear a loud BOOM!, followed by a strong but confusing scent.

NO! It couldn't be!...Had her potion blown up? How could that be possible? When she had last checked on it, it was doing fine, and she was counting on finishing it before the end of the year so that she could give the improved version of the elixir to Airey Flamsteed.

She rushed over to the potions area to see what had happened and discovered that it was not her own workstation that was having the problem, but apparently that of one of the resident potioneers of the Love Chamber--at least, she surmised that from the gunk on the man's glasses. Still...her potion was in such a delicate state, it might still have been affected.

She rushed past the man and woman and the smoking potions station and quickly examined the elixir gently cooling in its retort. It should have been an emerald green color, just ready to turn the deep jewel-tone of the finished brew, but Jane saw with dismay that a smoky, dark cloud had started to form in the center of it.

"Oh no!!" she cried. Whatever the other potioneer had been experimenting with had affected her potion, and Jane was pretty sure that she couldn't stop it in time. It was ruined, and so were her hopes of finishing the test samples in time to give to Flamsteed before the winter holiday season began.
