Potions classroom
Buffy rushed down to the potions classroom after a house elf delivered an urgent message from her ‘youngest’ professor. Actually, Zelda informed her that she was probably one of the oldest living members on staff at the castle, since she was born in the 14th century, but since she was in the body of a prepubescent, she looked younger than her students.
As soon as she entered the room, Zelda demanded, “Look at this room! What’s wrong with this picture?”
Buffy glanced around, trying to see what would upset her so much. This would probably require logic…something she learned wizards apparently tried to live without. Since potions was similar to chemistry, she tried to remember what a chemistry lab was supposed to look like. “Well, it’s rather dark in here,” she began. “And I don’t see an emergency wash station anywhere.” There was probably more, but that’s all she could think of at the moment.
“The cauldrons are far too high for the students to see in properly. They don’t have sanitized cutting surfaces for preparing their ingredients. The scales they use aren’t calibrated correctly. They don’t tie their hair back while brewing. They wear loose robes in class instead of aprons or lab coats, and they don’t use safety goggles or gloves!” Zelda practically screeched.
“I take it that you’d like to make some changes, Zelda?” Buffy asked.
“I insist on it!” Zelda replied with righteous indignation. This kind of brewing went out of style during the early Victorian Era…unless a witch felt like being particularly stereotypical.
“Alright, get me a list of required equipment, and I’ll do my best to get it for you,” Buffy promised.
“Would that include moving the classroom to a place with better lighting and ventilation?” Zelda asked.
“I insist,” Buffy said with a smile.
A/N: Surprised nobody died in that class.
