Aloysius was to busy to pay attention to the sorting ceremony, he was going over his notes. Soon Al set about his experiment, coughing [i]Aguamenti[/i] under his breath to fill his goblet with water and taking out a few small corked test tubes filled with coloured liquids, pouring and mixing each one. After about fifteen minutes Al had made a sweet amber drink. It was his liquid toffee, not melted toffee that would set when cool, not a gooey or chewy toffee that got stuck in people's teeth, but a liquid toffee that he could drink like water.

Al had a sip and couldn't stop from smiling. It was pretty great, but he was biased, Al liked anything sweet really. Still objectivity is important in any test, meaning he couldn't just give to someone he knew. Thankfully he knew few people. Adjusting the bandages and pulling his sleeve over his right hand to be less noticeable Al slowly stood, taking his goblet of toffee with him to look for someone willing to taste an unknown drink presented by a complete stranger. [i]Shouldn't be too hard, it smells pretty good[/i].
