"Pardon, Professor, but I fail to see how I was putting down a classmate. People who are overweight are still quite able to starve to death. The body needs nutrition, not just fat masses. I was just pointing out that it's probably not possible for this potion to stop you from dying if you're starving." He paused. "As for the usefulness of this potion, I believe I was the one that asked that question. I don't particularly approve of the idea of using it to punish vain people for being the way that they are, and I'm sure there are many other ways to teach people that they should be grateful for their bodies."

He shrugged.

"I just didn't understand what the uses of this potion could be, is all. When there are plenty of other ways to do it that are probably far quicker and easier."

As for ingredients... the prefect bit his lip and considered for a moment before volunteering an answer.

"Moke skin, ma'am. They can shrink at will, so one would assume they could also expand."

Eli turned around and shot the Prefect a look. A look that, to him, said she's gonna use it to fatten us up for the slaughter! The Slytherin prefect was probably first on the lady's list for talking back. Poor chap! He wanted to raise his hand; maybe if he answered well she would not target him as well. But it would probably be better to say nothing.

He had to get a message to Anni and the prefects, so they could all be rescued from the Evil Lafay. But how? The obvious: a note.

Eli took out his quill, pretending to take notes (ok, he actually took notes as well as a cover). But he also scratched a quick note on a tiny scrap of parchment:

SPOILER!!: Eli's note

He palmed the scrap of note, waiting until he could find a way to pass it back to Anni and Gold without LaFlame seeing him. Maybe he'd even give it to the Slytherin prefect, too. He was mean to Eli, sure, but surely he didn't want all these snakes to be in burned up like fat little piggies. Right?

Right?
