Haste Makes Paste is the twenty-second episode of the first season of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It aired on April 7, 2020.

## Synopsis

It’s still Sunday, the day after the chocolate coffee bean incident. Masie hears Clem and Olive chatting and then leaving the dormitory. Masie misses breakfast because she stays in bed, wallowing in self-pity and going down an anxiety spiral. She eventually gets bored and worries that her friends have given up on her and may not want to be friends with her anymore. Masie looks at her somewhat messy trunk, searching for comfort. She looks for two little lion pins for her collar, which her mum sent her. She rolls them over in her hand and sits on her bed, contemplating, her thoughts racing. Masie remembers overhearing Olive and Clem talking about getting a pumpkin from Hagrid and potentially using it to make potions. Masie paces the room for a bit and then eventually gets changed. She puts on some solid boots that are a little too big and brightly colored pink and purple in a tie dye pattern. Masie heads off toward Hagrid’s. It’s a little windy and cold. She sees some smoke coming from Hagrid’s hut. As she approaches, she doesn’t see anyone around, but she sees a pumpkin patch with pumpkins as big as her. Masie tries to climb on top of the pumpkin. The pumpkin she chooses, though, is a bit overripe, and she falls into the pumpkin with a squish, her entire body covered in pumpkin goop. The pumpkin collapses as she crawls out of it. She cries, face down in the mud. Dudley approaches her and starts licking the pumpkin goop off of her. Hagrid pulls Dudley off of Masie, not noticing her at first, but then being surprised by her presence. Masie tells Hagrid that she fell in a pumpkin. Hagrid helps her up. Masie apologizes and asks if Hagrid grew the pumpkins himself. He says that Professor Longbottom helped him. Masie asks if Hagrid saw her friends. Hagrid says he saw them a while ago. She asks him what they’re doing. He tells her that they were cooking some pumpkin in the kitchens and that they were also planning to make some potions. Maise asks Hagrid to help her find them. Dudley licks Masie’s face. Masie cries again. Hagrid tries to cheer her up. Masie asks Hagrid to accompany her to the kitchens. She also offers to help Hagrid prepare for his classes that he teaches. Hagrid says that her friends also offered to help. Hagrid and Masie head off toward the kitchens.

Meanwhile, Rosie and Clem help Lottie out in the Hogwarts kitchens. Lottie orders Clem around to fetch things while Rosie experiments with various ingredients in an attempt to make pumpkin mash. Lunchtime is approaching quickly. The house elves are using magic to prepare. Students are also helping. Clem momentarily forgets that she can do magic and helps manually. She carts some flour around. As she transfers some flour with Rosie, they don’t notice a nail sticking out of the cart and the flour gets hitched onto the nail on Clem’s side. The bag tears, and all the flour falls onto the floor. Clem asks if there are any clean up spells they can do. Rosie casts Aguamenti and creates paste. Clem is covered in a goopy, bready mess. She goes to look for a broom. She starts sweeping, not realizing that the “broom” she found was Lottie’s apron. Lottie comes over and is horrified. Clem apologizes and starts cleaning with her hands. Rosie apologizes furiously. Lottie shakes out her apron and starts panicking and hitting herself. Clem tries to comfort her by patting her, but she ends up getting paste on Lottie. Clem apologizes. At this moment, Hagrid and Masie arrive. Clem apologizes to Masie and starts crying. Masie gives Clem a hug. Rosie joins the hug. Masie asks to be in SWOFF. Clem and Rosie say that she’s never been out of SWOFF. Rosie gives Masie pumpkin pocket mash, but there’s a bit of paste in there too. Masie eats it to appease Rosie. Masie meets Lottie. Lottie, still anxious about preparing lunch, uses magic on cleaning materials to scrub Masie, Clem, and Rosie clean. Rosie convinces Lottie to let her make pumpkin mash for lunch. Lottie has Clem and Masie make sandwiches. Food and ingredients float around the room, being magically prepared. Clem and Masie make a sandwich line. Terrified of Lottie, Clem works furiously on making the sandwiches.

Meanwhile, Alex and Olive head toward the Potions classroom and the professor’s office to look for Professor Griffis. Olive notices Professor Griffis in the Potions classroom getting ready for class the next day (Monday), but she also sees Albus and Scorpius sneak into the Potions storage room and close the door behind them. Olive puts a hand out to Alex to very quietly signal. She points at the storage room and tells Alex that she saw Albus and Scorpius sneak into that room. She tells Alex about what she heard from Lily regarding the Potter family being worried about Albus and Scorpius. Olive suspects that they might be stealing potion ingredients. She suggests checking to see what ingredients might be missing to see if they can figure out what potion they might be making. Alex suggests taking care of the pumpkin first and then having a look. Olive says that they might be gone by the time they’re done. Alex offers to go check while Olive takes care of the pumpkin. Alex tells her to sneeze really loudly if the professor starts heading toward the storage room. Olive takes the pumpkin to Professor Griffis, who is setting up various ingredients and soil for the snapdragon hair colouring potion. Olive accidentally startles the professor. She shows him the pumpkin and asks if there are any potions she can make with it because Potions is one of her favorite subjects. She asks if it could possibly be used in the hair colouring potion to give it an orange color. Professor Griffis tells her that any deviation from the hair colouring potion recipe could cause disastrous results. Olive offers to leave the pumpkin with the professor for future potions. The professor agrees and mentions that perhaps pumpkin could be an alternative ingredient in something like an invisibility potion, which usually is composed of cherries, chicken, and spiders. Olive says that she would love to observe such experimentation, but the professor says that Olive could try it in an independent study. Professor Griffis also mentions the Pompian potion, which turns the drinker’s head into a pumpkin. Olive is not a fan of this potion and expresses a preference for the invisibility potion. Professor Griffis says that it could be dangerous to experiment. Olive offers to find an older student to supervise her, and Professor Griffis thinks this is an excellent idea. Olive asks for a note from the professor so that she can have permission to return to the Potions classroom outside of class hours to work on this independent study.

Meanwhile, Alex heads over to the storage room door. Alex opens the door just wide enough to slip in, but he accidentally slams his foot in the door and steps into one of the storage racks, causing it to wobble a little bit. He looks around for Scorpius and Albus, but he doesn’t see anyone. He checks the windows, which are secure. He checks the drain, which looks normal. He calls out for Albus and Scorpius. He thoroughly checks the room, but he can’t find them. Alex remembers hearing talk of many things that can turn someone invisible like potions, apparating (which is not possible within Hogwarts), items like cloaks, and spells. He also remembers that there are spells that can trace if something was invisible. He remembers that the best way to trace someone would be to find physical evidence. Alex casts Lumos and searches the room again, but he still finds nothing. He casts Nox. From outside, Olive has her ear to the door and hears Alex calling for Albus and Scorpius. She opens the door and slips in. Alex tells her that he came straight in and searched the room thoroughly but couldn’t find them. Olive suspects there might be a secret passage or that they used advanced magic. Alex suggests that they both walk around the room with their arms out and listen carefully for shuffling because that would probably be Albus and Scorpius trying to get out of the way. Olive doesn’t think they’re invisible but agrees to do this with Alex, further suggesting that they windmill their arms in case Albus and Scorpius duck. As they start flailing their arms, Professor Griffis opens the door. Olive pretends that she’s teaching Alex yoga.

Professor Griffis looks at them, confused, but just asks them to practice their yoga somewhere else. Olive and Alex rush off. Soon after, the group meets up in the Great Hall for lunch. Clem and Masie look tired. Alex asks Clem what Lottie made so he can eat it and tell her that it’s good. Clem tells Alex that Lottie made the chicken pot pie, so Alex gets some of that, plus some sausages. Clem doesn’t eat because she’s afraid of the food in front of her. Clem and Masie let Alex and Olive know that Rosie had a pumpkin mash accident in the kitchen where she got super passionate about it and started ordering people around, which stirred up conflict between her and Lottie, who ended up kicking Rosie out, and Rosie left in a huff. Alex, Clem, and Masie talk about how Rosie might be the scariest person in SWOFF. Alex and Olive tell Clem and Masie about seeing Albus and Scorpius sneaking into a closet but then not being able to find them. Olive also tells Alex and Masie about her conversation with Lily about Albus and Harry’s rocky relationship and questioning Scorpius’s character a little bit. Olive looks around the Great Hall to see if Albus or Scorpius were in the hall, but she doesn’t spot them. They try to figure out how Albus and Scorpius disappeared. Olive tells them that she also got a note from Professor Griffis to go to the Potions classroom outside of class hours to work on an experimental invisibility potion as an independent study. Alex suggests that Olive should ask Albus and Scorpius to help her with the potion. Masie wonders if it wasn’t that Albus and Scorpius turned invisible but rather that they cast a spell on Alex so he couldn’t see them. Clem casts Verdemilius. Her spell partially misfires and hits him in the face, causing his nose to bleed a bit. The spell doesn’t reveal any magic on Alex. Clem offers to take Alex to the hospital wing and eat an Every Flavour bean to make up for injuring him. Alex gives her a bean. It tastes like parchment paper.

### Post Credits

Down in the dungeons, there’s a shimmer in the air. The camera sees a little necklace being held up. It’s a Time-Turner. Albus looks hurt, scratches on his face. He says, “Scorpius? Where are you? Scorpius? What’s happened?”

## Quotes

* Wack: No! Kolo: Are you being naughty? Zcotticus: Me? Mirgs: I grow stronger every minute someone else is naughty. Negs: We’re family friendly, everyone!
* Zcotticus: I’m sure someone’s keeping track of how many times we’ve been to the hospital wing so far.
* Mirgs: It’s so unfair to Negs. Like, Kolo’s gone for one week, and we procure a pumpkin. Negs is gone for one week, and we hang out with Harry Potter. Wack: [*laughs*] It’s so true! Mirgs: Like wow. Zcotticus: We also went to the library last week, right? Mirgs: Oh yeah, sorry, library and pumpkin. You know, the riveting experience of being in a library? [...] Just saying: You owe her like a Nega, like an Olive-centric Harry Potter episode where they go on a date or something. Negs: One day. One day.
* Clem: Oh no. Am I a bread now?
* Rosie (played by Wack): [*talking quickly*] Okay, Lottie, I”m so sorry. It just happened. It got stuck - the flour got stuck on a nail, and the nail tore the bag, and then the flour went everywhere, and then, and then, and then I thought, We’ll clean it up because we’re trying to be responsible, and you know how I always try to be responsible when I’m in the kitchen because I know how important it is to you, and now, well, you know, we don’t get anywhere near anything sharp and nothing - no fire or anything, and she got stuck, so I went ahead, and I went ahead and I cast a spell and tried clean all the flour off her, but I just made a paste. Clem: I’m a paste! Sorry! Are there any towels that aren’t your aprons?
* Rosie (played by Wack): I don't know why you’re crying, but I wanna help!
* Olive: I don’t know, just kind of spitballing ideas. Uh, maybe you can talk now.
* Olive: We were practicing for the upcoming yoga club that a Hufflepuff student is trying to form. It’s apparently an ancient Muggle art called yoga, and it’s something that they practice for various reason that I definitely remember…
* Olive: Oh goodness! Honestly, the yoga was so transporting, I hadn’t even noticed that’s where we were. I was so sure I was on a grassy field somewhere. That is just the power of yoga, I guess. Should we go, Alex? Alex: Yeah, we should definitely - we should go, yeah.
* Olive: I have to remember to thank Rosalina later for teaching us yoga. Who would’ve thought that yoga would actually be helpful? Not me! I didn’t see that one coming!
* Wack: Rosalina had an accident in the kitchen. Another one. There was a pumpkin mash situation that happened. Mirgs: Oh no. Kolo: No one was surprised. [*laughter*] Mirgs: No one’s like, “What?!?”
* Olive: I’ve never know Rosie to be even a little intimidating. Like, she’s just a soft little cinnamon bun of a human and - Alex: But with like razor blades inside it or something.
* Alex: You’re kind of eating them for your guilt, so they - Clem: Is that not the way to eat them? Alex: Well, I normally eat them for fun, so - because - Clem: Oh, Alex, nothing is fun about these beans. They’re only retribution beans. Alex: RetriBEANtion?
