"Good morning, everyone!" Professor Sciuto greeted them. "Don’t be shy or worry about assigned seating. Just make sure you’re ready to start the lecture by having a pen and paper ready. Today, we will be treating your previous education as merely a bad nightmare to the joys of brewing. I’ve passed out a worksheet, we will read it over then discuss the safety regulations and procedures to be found in any modern laboratory, be it muggle or magical. It is my job for the coming year to instruct you all on how to not only identify the ingredients you'll be using in your first "magical" potions of the year but also proper safety practices to make sure you don't end up needing them to save your life. Additionally, I will be instructing you on the tools and equipment you'll need to brew a potion including knives, a mortar and pestle, your cauldrons and the burners."
