Dear magic diary that the entire world can read, so no, I shan't be writing down my innermost thoughts, you great dirty wanker,

I'm bored. I've exhausted my supply of spellbooks and I think if I see the words 'Defense', 'Dark' or 'Arts' again in the near future, I shall blast them straight from the page. Or hex the person's mouth shut who dared to say them in my presence.

I believe it might be time to check with Miss Margie again to see if she has anything more advanced available. Or at the very least, perhaps I should see about setting up a potions lab onboard. I'm dreadfully behind in that subject, which is utter bollocks considering it's the best one. I don't know that I'd be able to keep a readily available stash of supplies here, though. And probably working with potions on a wooden ship isn't the brightest idea.

Alas.

It's unfortunate that being able to Apparate isn't entirely useful in this world. I'm going to ask my mother to teach me anyway. It'll save me having to take a long trip from my quarters to the galley, in any case.

Potter disappeared again awhile back, I don't believe I mentioned it. Though none of you care, and you're right not to, because he's a tit.

Sasuke is gone now, too. And Itachi. I've no one to confuse with my chocolate frogs anymore.

Is that bloke with the dragon still here? I don't think I ever actually spoke to him, but Sasuke drew a picture of the dragon once. Even though it looked like a bug. Dragons in my world are generally quite vicious, so if that one is still here and hasn't yet set fire to the ship it's sailing on, that's really very interesting.

I'd like to see him.

P.S. Did anyone kill that Corpse King nutter?

What you're saying makes entirely no sense. It absolutely matters what ingredients you have, don't be daft. If a potion calls for boomslang skin, I'm hardly going to replace it with fairy wings and just hope it'll turn out okay! I'm not trying to create new potions, I hoping to make potions that I already know exist and work. We haven't the time or resources to experiment here, this isn't a potions research lab. For Merlin's sake.

And no. No, many of the things I need can't be found here. I'll have to ask Miss Margie.

It takes a very skilled potion maker to know that I suppose. But considering what you probably use and what I would have will be vastly different yet might bring about very similar results. Ah, that's the joys of different worlds.

Then again it takes someone brave to actually attempt such a thing though and find out what works in the first place. otherwise how else would potions exist.

It's got nothing to do with bravery and everything to do with the fact that we don't have an endless supply of resources. I don't want to attempt more experimentation than I have to because we haven't the time, nor the money probably. I just want to make the potions I know will be useful to the crew, not mess around with ingredients and hope the outcome doesn't kill someone by mistake.

The only useful ones would be various healing potions. I can't think of any other that would be useful, but I guess if and when you get the needed ingredients just let me know and you can use the galley.

After all once you get what you need you'd need somewhere to do it.

Polyjuice could be useful. Veritaserum could come in handy. Antidotes of any kind. Poisons. Even Felix Felicis could be of some use. There are countless more.

Oh, you're giving me permission to use the galley? I wasn't aware I needed it.

It saves money to use the galley when you get down to it. After all you can use some equipment that works for both the galley and potion making.

Though, I have to admit I have no idea what even half of what you mentioned is. Potions are probably named differently where I'm from. Except poisons that I understand.

No, obviously, that's not what I—

Oh, never mind. [So much eye rolling going on over here.] It was your permission I wasn't aware I needed.

For all you know, the galley could be where I like to keep things in a certain way.

[He doesn't, he doesn't really care.]

But I guess it might not be something you'd need unless it was during a time I would have to use it.
