Still... "I'd lllike that very mmmuch if yuhh-you could ddo that for me ssssir."

Oh! Speaking of Lawson. "B-b-before I ffforget... that amulet you tttook off me last yyyear was gggiven to me by Lllawson. Cuhh-can I, err... hhave it back?" And then, realising what Kazi might interpret from that question, Jake went on hurriedly. "T-t-to return it. Nnnnot use it. If yyyou tuh-tuh-trust me, that is..."

And now to the final point. The most important.

"I... I errr... wwwwanted to ask fffor muh-more informmmation on thuhh-that pppotion thing from the lllesson. Where I asked... if a ppppregnant woman was to tttake it..." Dang! What was the thing called? It sounded like amortentia, but had the 'agg' in there somewhere. "And... like... dddo you think it's wwwworth me persuading my p-p-parents to get me ch-checked fffor... that thhhing you mmmentioned?"

Kazimeriz considered for a looooong moment. "Absolutely, I think it is worth getting an evaluation. It is possible that Healer Ashford might be able to make such an analysis, though I do not know the scope of her background so it may be something you would need to see a specialist for... someone with a strong background in latent potions damage analysis. I personally learned of disorder when in Auror training; one of our areas of study was applied potions and spell damage in psychological profiling and criminal behavior investigation. It is a fascinating disorder, as aggrotentia is a fascinating-- though dangerous-- potion. And if your mother was exposed to it either before or during her pregnancy, that latent damage could explain not only your difficulty mastering spellwork but also your conduct issues and even your speech impediment. Not that it would excuse you from working to overcome these issues, mind you. You are still responsible for your own choices, regardless of the obstacles you face in life."

He picked up his quill and began dashing off a note. "I will write Healer Ashford at once, and we can meet whenever it is convenient to you-- I will send my patronus to you or an owl when she is available."

"And Upstead?" He slid open a drawer and pulled out a small leather drawstring pouch which contained Lawson's amulet. He handed it to Upstead wordlessly.

"Take care to keep your self-control... and your thumbs " He met Upstead's eyes, as if to say I am trusting you. Do not disappoint me.
