Hogwart's Future - Book 2 ✔️

Chapter 51

Seraphina's POV :

I leaned over the cauldron towards Mia, who was chopping up some ingredients. "Why is Charlene so happy?" Mia looked up and handed me the next ingredient. "I don't know. Maybe she's just glad to be out of the forest?" She offered, shrugging. I poured another drop of the Venom into the mix as you had to add it multiple times during the creation of the potion. "Did you um.. See anything?" I asked hesitantly.

"You mean, apart from those terrifying, Long legged, H-"

"I don't need the details!" I quickly interrupted, not wanting an image of them stuck in my mind. "Yes, apart from them."

"No, we didn't. It was quite uneventful actually." Mia replied. "Although, Charlene did do something really strange." She frowned.

"What was it?"

"She was nice to me. Apparently it's just you she hates. -and anyone friends with you." I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at Charlene, who had seemingly fallen asleep under a tree.

"But why does she hate me? I don't remember do anything to her! -She's hates me ever since we first met!" Mia just shrugged again and continued looking at Charlene. Her eyes narrowed.

"How can she sleep at a time like this?" She half muttered to herself. I ignored her and motioned for her to hand me the essence of dittany.

Remus walked over to us, Lisa, Leon and him had been sitting in a small circle, talking to each other for most of the time. "So, how long will it take to brew?"

I looked at the instructions once more. "A couple days."

"Really?! You would have thought that it would take months!" He exclaimed, his eyebrows shouting up in surprise.

"I know, but-" Mia started.

"So how longs it taking?" Leon asked as well, Lusa following behind him.

"A couple of days! Can you believe that?!" Remus replied.

"Seriously? I thought it would take longer, seeing as how rare some of the ingredients are." Lusa remarked, sitting down next to me, leaving the two boys standing.

"Well yes, but-" Mia attempted to explain again.

"How are we gonna give it to everyone though?" Remus interrupted her. I saw Mia annoyed look and mouthed sorry at her. I'd noticed how he was constantly doing that whenever she was with us.

"We aren't going to give it to anyone. We're gonna give it to the ministry. They'll know a spell." I replied and motioned for Mia to hand me the bezoar. Remus sat on the other side of me and looked into the cauldron. As he did so, the mixture fizzled and popped, and a green, gooey bubble on the surface exploded in his face. The four of us burst out laughing at his expression and Leon handed me a towel he had summoned to give to Remus.
