Order Only: Private message to Pansy Parkinson

While the past several years have given me a unique appreciation of the attention span of the average teenager, I do expect you to be capable of visiting the toilet without forgetting to return. You are fortunate both that Miss Granger noted your absence before your cauldrons exploded and that the Burn-Healing Paste does not require any of the ingredients of which we are exceptionally short and cannot afford to waste.

I do not expect immediate perfection and you will undoubtedly ruin many more batches of what I set you to brewing. I will not, however, tolerate mistakes made because of inattention or distraction. If there is something you would rather be doing other than brewing, you need but say so; I have neither time nor ingredients enough to spare in indulging a student who is not prepared to learn.
