She then turned the heat up and allowed her potion to simmer and thicken. She shrugged off the Professor's behavior and made a note to visit his office later to discuss his health. Something was clearly wrong, and Dresden obviously didn't want to share with the whole class.

Looking back at the potion, her eyes widened as she saw the color a puke-green color! Hopefully it was that color because it hadn't simmered long enough. Either way, she called the Professor over: "Professor!! Is my potion okay? Did it go too long?" she asked, in a panicky voice.

"Turn up the heat a bit, Amelia and leave it to simmer for a few minutes" Adam said. He really was feeling rather tired, and knew he should wrap up the class before he fell asleep right there.

"Once your potion is brown, please cool it to room temperature, bottle a sample and leave it on my desk"
