Pyxis ran a hand through her hair and tried to control the violent shaking. She flicked her wand at the door and it banged open to let the students in. She rested her arms on the desk and smiled warily at the students, eyes bloodshot with bags under them. Pyxis' holiday had been stressful to say the least, and she was still on edge. She knew that Deva's identity had been compromised because of her, and she sighed heavily. She pushed the thought out of her mind and tried to focus on the task at hand. No students, right, she needed to teach them something. No wait, introductory lesson... right... Her thoughts felt disconnected, like a jigsaw that she couldn't put together. Pull yourself together, woman, she snapped at herself and felt a false smile tug briefly at her lips, before she became expressionless once more. She stood up and scribbled some words on the board.

'Whats your name?'
'Where do you live?'
'What do you want to get out of potions?'
'What potion would you be most interested in learning?'


"Alright, I want you all to answer these questions aloud to me. I'll go first, im Pyxis Wilson but i'd appreciate it if you called me Professor Wilson. I live at Hogwarts for the time when school is on and the weeks before, but when i'm not here I live in Birmingham. What I want to get out of these lessons is for you to all be interested and good at brewing potions. I can't answer the last one as my now thoughts, but when I was at school I was most interested in learning Felixis Felicis. Your turn." She motioned to the students.
