it was. boot is ever so glad that they gave him the potion, even if he's just a mudblood. well, maybe he was a good test case for madam pomfrey and professor slughorn. that way they could make sure it worked before trying it on someone who mattered, like miss clearwater.
It tastes just awful though. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for hours afterwards. Blech.
It stains, too. I guess Madam Pomfrey painted it over our lips first, to get them to unpetrify them enough so that she could open our mouths and pour the rest of the potion in. So Hermione and me had green circles around our mouths for a couple hours!
