OKAY, SO GIVE US THE BASICS !
SORRY, NOT QUITE. SO WHAT ARE AND AREN'T YOU INTO ?
I tend to give everything a try at least once, but there are some things I can't stand. Marrying muggles, for instance? There have been a few very convincing studies that beg the questions, 'Are muggles the silent carriers of wizard diseases?' and, 'If we continue polluting our bloodlines with muggle partners, at what rate can we expect the birthrate of Squibs to increase?' Very horrifying stuff, you should definitely look into it. I also dislike getting my hands dirty, so anything to do with playing in the dirt is off-limits unless absolutely necessary. Truly. I don't even own a single house plant. I suspect my aversion to dirty hands has something to do with the fact that I didn't come out top of my class in potions. Oh well. I smoked them all in nearly every other subject, so no hard feelings there. I dislike the smell of smoke unless it's from a wood fire. Cigarettes, cigars, and all of those nasty things muggles smoke just absolutely disgust me. The smell gets in my clothes and hair and puts me in a very bad mood.
Well, there's more, but I suppose I'll stop boring you to tears now. But really, ducky, read those studies, it might change your outlook on some things!"

Seraphina's smile, faint as it was, seemed to twitch into a somewhat larger expression as a hand shot up even while she was speaking.
" 'Scuse me, Professor, but does it only last an hour? I mean, like, can you drink more per stone to make it last longer?"
"A very good question, Mister Garland. You have already intuitively grasped the seductive qualities of this elixer, but there is a darker side of it, to be sure."
Taking a moment to walk around her desk, standing in front of it instead of behind it, she leaned her weight back carefully, resting beside the cauldron and its beautiful, distinctive mist. Formulating her words beforehand, she continued again in her heavy accent. "It is unwise to miscalculate the exact amount necessary to achieve the desired effects. Anything over two drams in excess is lethal, largely because of the henbane that is required in its earliest brewing stages.
"This potion is a veritable minefield of danger from the moment you begin its creation. Sampling it so much as an hour before the potion is ready can put an adult witch or wizard into a convulsive fit, resulting in vomiting and asphyxiation." Secretly, she was quite pleased with herself for saying that last word as slowly and clearly as she had.
"Of course, there are also the long term effects of using this potion to consider, but we will get into those later. Back to the original question... methods of attaining temporary invisibility. Mister Garland, you had an answer to offer, yes?" she asked, fixing him with a curious look.
