Slughorn, who had been pacing up and down the aisles, seemed to suddenly realize tat something rather unfortunate was happening a few tables over and rushed to rectify the situation.
"Nothing to worry about, children, this happens all the time!" Slughorn banished the bubbling mess with a flick of his wand, then chuckled quietly to himself as he replaced the lid on the cauldron. "Of course, it would be wise not to use ingredients not listed in the future," he murmured, picking up the half-empty vial of boomslang oil. Slughorn looked pained as he tucked it into his robes. "This is a bit too pricey to waste."
Slughorn turned back around to Hitoshi's and Alex's table, his eyes settling on the potion in front of them. He was quiet for a moment, and his eyes crinkled in pure delight. "Why, this is as perfect a potion as I've seen from any first year. Well done, boys."
He glanced back at Alex. "Mr. Meriweather, was it? It seems you and Mr. Gilespi have a promising future in my class."
