Alright, here's an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Whilst I'm planted on my rear end, attempting to allow my FEET to heal from the beating they took from a PSYCHOPATH with MPD - not a TECHNICAL diagnosis, you understand, just an... observation, rather!

ANYWAY'S: I NEED something to do, whilst I'm recovering... So...

Who here has a CHEMISTRY LAB of some sort? Or even a mechanical laboratory of some sort, really! I'll take any distractions from my problems at all...!

I won't break anything, I swear... I DO have doctorates in Chemistry, Mathematics, AND Engineering...!

Please, give me SOMETHING -- ANYTHING...! Because I promise, you will NOT be disappointed when you see me at work with my SCIENCE MAGIC!

But sir... Isn't that term a little bit of a tautology? I mean, SCIENCE MAGIC?

I mean, Magic IS Science, and Science IS Magic, likewise...! (I should know, being a witch, after all...)

Science IS Magic, it's true, but...

You're a WHAT, now???

A witch, sir...! Sorry, I know that's a lot to take in, especially considering your faith in Science Magic, but... well... Surprise? Heh! Sorry!

It is, but that doesn't mean you can't combine the two. Mixing potions is nothing more than chemistry under a different name with different components than you typically see.

Oh no, NOT YOU TOO...!?

Please, I'm not some ignorant cauldron jockey like you see in fairy tales. I'm a techno-mage.

A... techno-mage? What's that?

Someone trained in both scientific study and magic. I may not have multiple PHD's but I do have a BS in electrical engineering (and one in theory of magic) from Georgia Tech.

The best way to be able to break the rules is to know what they are so you can exploit the loopholes.

Ah, cool, I guess...!

I mean, I DO have multiple PhD's but well -- I can appreciate others' educational experiences too...!

Ah, true enough...! I mean, I think that these are NORMAL ingredients to use in "chemistry" as you put it, given that I only studied potions-making at Hogwarts -- without any other background in "chemistry", rather...

I'm Parnel, by the by... And you are, miss...?

Shaw, Izzy Shaw. The program I went through you still had to learn everything a non magical student did, but you had additional instruction in magic. Then I went to university and double majored in electrical engineering and theory of magic.

Pleased to meet you Parnell.

Oh, nice! I mean, we don't have any magical universities in the UK, at least that I know of... though we DO have several government-sponsored training programmes, like Auroring and Healing!

It's nice to meet you, as well, Miss Shaw...!

In my timeline there was no segregation of magical and non magical, everyone was intertwined. So all the major universities in the UK had programs for magical studies after secondary school.

So you had magic high school and then...a kind of vocational training after that?

Indeed? Interesting, that...! I mean, I suppose there'll always be problems with Muggles and Muggle-born mages, so long as we uphold the ridiculously outdated Statute of Secrecy, so... I guess it would only make sense for the stupid Statute to have been down stricken by your time, after all.

Yes, I had vocational training, in the most basic sense, I suppose... I mean, I had three bloody years of utterly brutal training under some of the best Aurors, in all SORTS of things -- like Potions, and Transfiguration from Inanimate to Animate, and visa versa...
