"Oh, no, well, yes, I'm terrible at potions, but that isn't what I meant - just if you were looking for something to do" Katie explained.

"Helping you is something to do." Kevin didn't mind, it was better than nothing. "After you."

Katie smiled slightly. "Well if you're sure" She said, setting off in the right direction again.

Kevin nodded. Katie didn't know him so it was acceptable that she saw fit to question. He followed after her. "What do you have to do?"

"An essay for Potions - it's extra credit, because I'm terrible and nearly failing. It's supposed to be on the properties of Bezoar" Katie explained, "I'm super stressed about it, because it's pretty much my only chance at passing."

"It cures most poisons." Kevin summed it up. "There is some debate in the wizarding world as to which poisons it doesn't cure but no one has found any willing test subjects to set finding out in motion." The reasons for which, he felt, were obvious. "However a bezoar is said to, essentially, soak up any poison found in the body and cancel it out."

"And how do I make that into ten inches?" Katie asked with a small smile. She was luckier than she thought, finding a walking encyclopedia.

"Well you could start by describing, in details, the physical attributes of a bezoar and theorize how the porosity of the object sponges up the poison, also how much a bezoar neutralizes per second." Kevin paused a moment trying to think of something else that might be suitable by Snape's standards. "How a bezoar is made, might be a topic to touch on."

"I hate potions." Katie muttered, nearly pouting. She was not good at this, not at all.

"It is all about structure. I suppose you fancy something more free-spirited. Charms perhaps?" Kevin hadn't meant it as an insult but well, his tone was hard to figure out at times.

Katie couldn't argue with that. "Charms is my best, yeah" She agreed. Even if it was an insult, it was true.

"It is a useful subject." He amended glad that Katie hadn't been offended as people often got around him.

"I see more use in it than in potions. I wonder if it's too late for me to get out of the class..." Katie murmured.

"Unless you get poisoned." Kevin returned a small smile gracing his features.

Katie laughed, "That's what healers are for. And smart friends"
