Katie Bell was pacing about infront of the fireplace, a determined look on her face as she focused intently on Lisa—who sat on the couch with their Potion book in her hand. "Alright," Lisa began, flipping a page, "For the first part of brewing a Polyjuice potion, the ingredients are Knotgrass, Lacewing Flies, Leeches and Boomslang Skin... True or false?"
Katie looked deep in thought for a moment, before answering, "False. The Boomslang skin is for the second part. The missing ingredient for the first part is the Fluxweed, picked at a full moon."
Lisa nodded, "Very good."
"I studied a lot last night... Go on, try another question." she beckoned.
Okay, next. How many seconds should it be on low heat for the first part?"
"Thirty seconds..?" Katie answered uncertainly, smiling as Lisa nodded in confirmation. "Really? I was a bit unsure of that one." she admitted. "It's okay, you're getting better at memorizing. You just need to brush up a bit on the procedure part."
"Another question... In the first phase, how many bundles of knotgrass should you add into the cauldron?" she looked deep in thought for a moment, before she huffed, flipping her book open as she slapped her palm onto her forehead, "Right, right, two. I forgot about that..." she grumbled.
"That's okay... Let's try a simpler one. How many times and which direction should you stir?"
"Three times in clockwise direction!" she exclaimed, pumping a fist in the air as Lisa confirmed her answer. "Very good, Katie... You're getting better..."
"I studied a lot last night... Go on, try another question." she persuaded. Lisa scanned the book, "Alright, Love Potion Antidote. The substance turns orange after adding the Wiggentree twigs. True or false?"
"I know this one! Don't tell me, don't tell me— False?"
"Correct. What color does it turn to if not Orange, then?"
Katie shrugged, before letting out a hearty laugh, "That I do not know."
"Well... This is progress anyways. Just, don't go straight to bed after your Quidditch practices. It could help if you reviewed before you hit the sack." Lisa advised her friend, Katie groaning before collapsing onto the sofa beside her.
"Bullocks. That's easier said than done I tell you. Do you even know how much of a burden Angelina puts us through during practice? You're bound to fall asleep any time because of exhaustion."
"I'll take your word for that." Lisa chuckled, setting the potions book aside, "Ange seems a bit too persistent in winning, don't you think?"
"She and Oliver were carved from the same tree, I tell you. But she isn't half as irritating as Oliver, bless Godric that he'd graduated long ago—" Katie's rambling was cut off by the sound of her name being called out.
"Ah! You have it!" she cheered, digging around her pockets as the Weasley twins sauntered over to her, a peculiar looking box in hand, "Just as you asked, right on time."
Katie fished out some coins from her pocket, handing it to one of them. "Great doing business with you, boys."
"Likewise." he pocketed the money with a smile, the other twin catching sight of Lisa sitting in the sideline, watching the exchange silently. "It's Annabelle, right?"
"Elisabeth." she corrected quietly.
"Right. But I was close, wasn't I?"
"Not even a bit..." Katie rolled her eyes, before shooting Fred a mischievous look, "I saw who came out from your dorm room awhile ago..."
