Leaning back just a tad to look at the professor and the notes, he was pleased to see his and Florrie's answer on the board. If only Catherine was in Hogwarts, he would've gloated and rub in her face that she wasn't the only smart Mordaunt twin. Just saying.
Now, why was the Wolfsbane Potion so expensive? Noah took a glance at Kinsay as she gave her answer, because it was an excellent one...and also noted her...lack of enthusiasm. Anyway, back to the question, Noah raised his hand and waited for his turn to answer.
"The Wolfsbane Potion, as we all know, is a complex potion to brew, and so that pretty much clues us in on the ingredients that's used to make it. Lycanthropy is a form of Transformation which is complex magic on its own, so to counter it, one needs high-quality, Class A or higher substances that cannot be simply grown in one's backyard. I mean, in business, if I were the supplier, I would have to sell it for a higher price at the get-go considering that the ingredients are highly toxic, limited due to its nature of harvesting, add to that the manner of harvesting these ingredients, as it would required highly-skilled herbologists, magizoologists, and even potioneers. I mean, it's a cure for a dangerous condition, albeit temporarily, but these potions need to be made safe for consumption. The process for these ingredients and potion, to be available to us, would've undergone quality control and close supervision by experts, and that usually demands a lot of galleons to begin with."
Ooookay, he was done nerding out while he was sat beside a really pretty sixth year. Can they go brew now?
