"Hey, Sally, what yah making today?"

A rather hyper light brown haired young man asked as he bounced into the potions lab. The dark haired man at the bubbling cauldron merely raised a winged brow as he challenged.

"Who was dumb enough to give you a Pepper up, Godric?"

With a grin the over exuberant man said

"I do believe it was a prank. We all know I'm not supposed to have it, Sally."

With a sigh the potions' master walked over to his cupboard and removed a brown potion bottle and gave it to Godric before returning to his potion.

"Don't call me that insuffible name. I've told you that several times the next time will be problematic for you."

"I thought Rodney was already here, being a Hufflepuff, he's normally early."

Looking to his long time friend Godric quickly tried to calm the temper he knew was dangerously close to the surface. Heading to the door he suggested

"I'll go look for the boy, prob….."

Godric never got to finish since at that very moment an over worried young boy flew into the room knocking the surprised man over, where he fell into Salazar, who fell into the cauldron, as well as several dangerous (when mixed) ingredient, which knocked over the table, (see the domino effect?) where the two proud men fell gracelessly to the floor amidst the mess as the cauldron spilled the unfinished and tainted potion onto the Teachers…
