Omake - Professor Lily
It was only a day after she had awoken. She called to Gwallawg's office, and as she entered she saw him and Professor Slughorn looking sternly at her. She felt like a child called to the teacher office, like when she was young and had given Alfie big green warts during an experiment in class. There was a silence in the air as she took up her notepad to write down something to say, but
"My dear, that won't be necessary. We want to know how much of your potionering knowledge remains"
"I have gathered some candidates for you to teach. Show them what we have taught you. "
"There are far to few masters left of our craft. I am sure you won't disappoint. "
They didn't look stern nor worried, but she could feel their gaze weighed her down.
***
The candidates in front of her where not who she had expected. She had expected some greenhorns or mediocre students from Mr. Gwallawg's university. Not these people. Mr Gwallawg's granddaughter, she was adorable, but she didn't feel confident teacher her. Martha, not really sure what she needed to be taught. Urie, someone who had earned the Order of Merlin, First class, they didn't give those out to just anyone, and Oliver. Okay, Oliver had just given her a glass of water, laughed and walked away waving his cute butt. She thought he might have tried to cheer her up, but jokes had never been her strongest side.
She started to write on the blackboard to explain how to create a potion to breath underwater. Its not the easiest potion to make in the first place, but not being able to speak made things a lot more difficult. This was why she had selected this potion to teach.

After trying her hardest to beat the receipt into their thick skulls it was time to show her pupils potion to her teachers. She had succeeded, or not. The heiress potion looked like colorful mud. Martha's looked perfect, which annoyed her somehow, and Uries potion oozed purple and gave her the faint image of death, which really shouldn't be possible with the ingredients she had given them.
She watched, stomach swirling as her teacher investigated her pupils potion.
"Well done my dear, Well done"
"eh"
"I am impressed miss Evans, I didn't really expect you to perform this well" Mr. Gwallawg said as he pointed to his granddaughters potion. "A potion that will make it easier to sense an animals emotions, not the most advanced of course, but teaching a child this is impressive.
"And look a this. The devil's tail, drink this and it would kill you even if where a giant, might be useful later. I will pocket this." She must have imagined it because Urie looked disappointing by not being allowed to keep it. "
"And for last we have my wifes potion "Underwater Lungs ", perfect for investigating huge bodies of water as they make it possible to breath under water. "
"Perfect too, Miss Gwallawg's potion skill was never the best, so seeing her create it perfectly brings tears to my eyes. I can't wait to see what you will show during your next test "
Another test...
She needed to study harder, if they where going to continue with tests like these.
