CHAPTER FIVE;

⠀⠀⠀Time was ticking and the students had only fifteen minutes to finish off their polyjuice potion. The month long brewing had finally simmered down to the final ten minutes. It all came down to this and if Manon didn't get that first place, then she might as well sleep out in the Forbidden Forest for the rest of the year.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀With every stir taken care of and every ingredient added, Manon and Charlotte settled back and carefully watched their cauldron, the fluid inside bubbling and gurgling.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀"Did you do that lil' piece of homework for Arithmancy?" Charlotte asked, as she drummed her fingers on the table, caramel brown eyes zoomed in on a scorch mark on the ceiling of the dungeons and then zeroed in on Manon's face.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀"Mm, yeah, but bloody hell, we'd barely read a page and then homework was thrown at our faces like flowers at a wedding," sighed Manon as she stared at the boiling surface of the unsettling looking potion.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀Charlotte gave a wide grin, "Are you finally pulling yourself out of the dark side?"

⠀⠀⠀"The side where you love the homework and defend the teachers for giving it."
⠀⠀⠀
