Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ ❄ Showtunes > Everything ❄ ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Norman nodded, smiling slightly. This wasn’t his first rodeo, so to speak. He’d been around long enough to know that shenanigans always ensued with large groups, and he knew what to watch out for. “I’m on it,” he replied in an equally low voice. There would be no sneaking off on his watch!
He listened as Tapio started things off. While there were a number of potions that could be, Norman’s mind immediately went to Polyjuice. He blamed his Auror training for that! Troublesome potion… He refrained from commenting to give the students a chance to answer and to not give them any ideas about brewing Polyjuice Potion. That was the last thing they needed!
Casting a nonverbal Locomotor on the nearest hamper, he brought up the rear of the little group as they made their way down the path. Desiree positively beamed at the compliment her outfit got. “Thank you, Professor,” she replied. Charlie and Vera’s greetings each got a smile in response, and a little smile and wave for Professor Carton when he arrived too. But there wasn’t much time for conversation; they were starting! “Locomotor.” Desiree cast, aiming her wand at a hamper. She followed the group along the path, considering the question carefully. For some reason, this reminded her of the potions riddle at the s’mores party earlier this term. Fluxweed had been her answer then. She thought of the potions in that riddle, and one in particular stuck in her mind. “What about Vaxifloo?” she said. “That uses fluxweed, and I’m pretty sure it has to be picked at the full moon.”
