The year was rapidly expedient to its end. It was scant days before the approaching exams and Ligeia was preparing early for the departure from school , She had summer plans, experiences for certain she was looking to have though fluid as to the exact date they happened.

Currently Ligeia was clearing out the contents of a private potion lab space she had been using throughout the year. Being both a prefect and top grade student in Potions, it hadn't been too difficult arranging for the space near the start of the year, which seemed ages ago. The little room in the dungeons had been the place for extracurricular work on lengthy brews.

Such as, for example, the little curiosity that filled the contents of a whole storage case of vials. He halted the charmed towing of the luggage to examine one sample in better light. Within the little container something golden bubbled and swirled. It was meant to be Felix Felicius, one of Ligeia's goals for working on challenging potions this year. An odd reminiscence stored in her mind, thinking back on how the first half of the initial ingredients had been bought at Sellaphix apothecary last summer when both her and Fiagaro had seasonal employment. Felix Felicius took over six months to brew, a few times a week Ligeia would have to monitor its progress.

Yet, the end result had gotten away from her somehow. Between the poppy nature characteristic to 'Liquid Luck' as they called it, the potion cycled through other colors. First a muted silver, then to a sluggish bronze, and back to silver before returning to gold. Such as how the current vial in hand turned through this pattern.

A very tricky potion to brew and disastrous to get wrong. Yet Ligeia had been ready, and in some ways enthusiastic for, things to go wrong while brewing it. Despite the changing color the end result looked unassuming. But from her internship on the St. Mungo's poisoning flow she knew you could never be sure with the harmful effects of potions until it was too late.

Perhaps best for her transport for later, determine then what to do with the contents. She placed the vial on top of the uppermost case in her stack, pausing to oversee her checklist again to make sure she had moved everything.
