Experiment

Hermione and Terry had been paired together for a practical experiment in Potions. The task they has been set was to create their own potion, using the knowledge that they had gained over the last seven years on the many uses of ingredients.

"You have five minutes to gather your ingredients and then you must return to your tables," Professor Slughorn announced.

The students scrambled from their desks and fought their way towards the storage cupboard. Hermione and Terry were the first to gather all the ingredients they had agreed upon, and return to their places.

Less the ten minutes into creating their potion, Terry grasped Hermione's wrist as she was about to place a sprig of peppermint into the black cauldron.

"You cannot use that. It won't work!" Terry exclaimed wildly.

"I'm offended," she gasped, wrenching her hand out of Terry's grasp. "I can't believe that you have little faith in me. I know what I'm doing."

The witch went ahead and placed the peppermint into the cauldron, and gave Terry a 'told you so' look when the potion changed to the desired acid green colour she wanted.

Terry huffed loudly, annoyed that Hermione had proven once again that she was more intelligent that he was. Whilst he admired her for her smarts, he found to be highly insulting to be so wrong.

For the rest of the lesson, at every turn Terry questioned everything, hoping that just once he would be able to outsmart 'the brightest witch of his age,' and prove his worth a Ravenclaw.

Unfortunately for him it wasn't meant to be, and Terry was constantly proven to be incorrect, and with every failure, the wizard became more and more frustrated, to the point where he moved to a different desk and decided to work on his own.
