"That's what happened. This Powerful Beauty Potion was an experimental product I made on a whim. I added some other potion ingredients, such as Romanian bat fangs... In short, even I don't know exactly how this potion has changed. We'll need Professor Snape to study it to find out."
After a little backroom deal with Snape, Will described the potion he had brewed as a defective experimental product. No one blamed Will, though, because almost everyone was glaring at Ron.

Everyone put Harry's safety first.
Hermione and Ron finally breathed easier. As
