"I have doubts it would replace the need for you to eat," he said flatly, looking at the Ravenclaw kid. He'd seen the pointed look at the Slytherin girls, and it wasn't difficult to tell that he didn't approve. "You'd still be starving, I'd wager, if you'd been in that state before taking it."

Bodies required nutrition, sustenance, to keep living. Not massive wells of fat unceremoniously added to them. Food was needed if you were starving, at the easiest level. And if you were somewhere starving, what were the chances you'd have such a potion on you in the first place?

And spells to re-fit clothes were far easier and less time-consuming than this potion would be. So far, Raiden was still seeing it for what it was. The professor had introduced the lesson by asking what girls were afraid of. That was obviously her line of thinking while planning this, then. This was just another way for her to embarrass and upset some of the students.

Great. Just great.
Eli's face fell. Why did the Slytherins always want to pick on him?

Besides, if you had fat on your body you couldnt starve, your body would have something to use for fuel. Right? Maybe? He honestly didn't know.

Embarrassed at being told off by the Slytherin prefect, he slouched low in his chair, trying to make himself smaller and hoping the professor wouldn't think his ideas were stupid like the Prefect did. Though she was Slytherin, too, probably- she was mean enough to be- so probably she would.

"Probably just wants to fatten up the students anyway, so we're tastier after she roasts us." he thought bitterly to himself.

Oh no. What if that was it? What if that was her plan? They could all be in a lot of danger!
