"What do you think you're doing, Chuck?" the Professor of the Alchemy Class, Professor Nora, asked as the troublemaker added a few strange ingredients into his cauldron.
She had asked the class to make a basic Fire Resistance Potion. The ingredients were listed on the board.
Chuck's additions were nowhere on that list.
"Professor, this is a new and improved Fire Resistance Potion that I thought of just now," Chuck explained while patting his chest with confidence. "Trust me. This will work!"
The corner of Professor Nora's lips twitched as she zeroed in on the tail of the red salamander that Chuck was about to drop in his cauldron.
"Chuck, do you want me to give you a failing grade?" Professor Nora asked, convinced that she had just seen the tail twitch.
