Looking, searching

[Tiana Kayne]

Tiana was standing in the library, searching along the shelves for something. Mariee and Vermillia were there too, also looking, but not as intently. Occasionally one of them handed Tiana a book, but she just shook her head and went back to her search.

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny went in the library and saw three girls she didn't recognize. "Hi, I'm Ginny," she said walking over to them.

[Tiana Kayne]

Tiana stopped her searching for a moment.
"Hi there. You're the Ginny girl who signed up for my potions tutes, right?"
She gestured to the other girls.
"This is Vermillia and Mariee. I'm looking for a book called Distillates of Sol, can you give me a hand? We could talk about the tutorials."

[Ginny Weasley]

"Yeah, I'm not doing very well in potions right now," she sighed. "It's nice to meet you guys. So what's the book about that we're looking for?" she asked.

[Tiana Kayne]

"It's a book about potions that are related to light, in particular one I wanted to do in the tutorials. Oh, I forgot myself. I'm Tiana Kayne."
She scanned the shelves a little more.
"An A in Potions will still get you into a lot of things, since it's such a difficult class."
She pulled a particularly heavy book from the shelf, looked at it, and put it back.
"I give up, for now. We'll get to it eventually. Let's find a seat."

[Ginny Weasley]

"Not according to some of my brothers. Although Fred and George didn't do very well in it," she said following Tiana.

[Tiana Kayne]

Tiana made her way to a bench, and waved bye to Vermillia and Mariee.
"They have divinations lessons now. Your brothers probably made more use of potions than they realise. Anyway, what kind of things would you like to cover in the tutes?"

[Ginny Weasley]

"They did, they just didn't like the learning part of it, and Snape definately did not like them. Um...definately sleeping draughts, I did not understand those," she said with a small smile.

[Tiana Kayne]

Okay, I'll cover those later in the sessions. I could give you a quick rundown now, do you have time?

[Ginny Weasley]

"Yeah, class doesn't start for about 30 minutes," she said smiling.

[Tiana Kayne]

"Okay. There are three main areas where things generally go wrong in making potions. First of all is the preparation of the ingredients. Secondly, there's the mixing of the ingedients. Third is distilling or decanting the desirable potion from the mess you've got in the cauldron."

"Because this is a sleeping potion, I think most people get the last bit wrong. It needs to have a consistant texture, without any of the remaining raw ingerdients. What colour are your sleeping potions?"

[Ginny Weasley]

"Distillling is definately where I go wrong," Ginny said.

[Tiana Kayne]

"Okay, my older cousin made his own Distilling Charm when he was in sixth year. He was brilliant at potions - maybe you could try it?"

[Ginny Weasley]

"Maybe I could," Ginny said smiling a little.

[Tiana Kayne]

Tiana glanced at her watch, and she seemed surprised.
"Look, I have to meet Severus about the potions tutes now, I forgot. We'll go through it before we start the tutes okay?" She said, hurridly packing her things and racing off to the dungeons.
"See you in the tute!"
