As Tabitha strolled through the corridor after Potion's class, her mind still occupied by brewing instructions, she wasn't paying close attention to her surroundings. Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted as she unexpectedly slammed into Alice, who was walking in the opposite direction.

"Oh, sorry," Tabitha quickly apologized, steadying herself and looking up to see who she'd bumped into. Realizing it was Alice, she smiled sheepishly.

"Hey, Alice," she greeted. "I wasn't paying attention. Didn't mean to crash into you like that."

Alice chuckled at the collision, adjusting her bag on her shoulder. "No worries, Tabitha," she replied with a grin. "Happens to the best of us. How was Potions class? You looked a bit lost in thought coming out of the classroom."

Tabitha gave a small laugh, knowing Alice had accurately picked up on her distracted state. "Yeah, I guess I was a bit preoccupied," she admitted. "Potion's class was the usual. Just trying to keep all the directions straight in my head. Professor Slughorn has a way of making everything seem like a tongue twister sometimes."

Alice nodded in understanding. "Tell me about it," she commiserated. "I swear he has an entire dictionary of ingredients in his brain to rattle off. It's a wonder we can remember them all, let alone follow the instructions without creating a potions explosion every time."
