Maybe more stirring...
...stir...stir...stir...stir...stir...
Okay, there. Now it was a little darker Kurumi grabbed her fluxweed & knotgrass and dropped it into the pot and watched it sink beneath the bubbling surface of the liquid and was just about to grab her spoon to stir again when...
Professor Bentley lost it. o______________________O
Biting her lower lip, Kurumi moved closer to Laura and Professor Bentley and gingerly put a hand on the Hufflepuff's shoulder. " Professor, I can help Laura with the charms and spells needed for this activity," Kurumi offered. Breathe professor, breathe...
You too Laura! ... Merlin that girl... she had... she knew... "Yes... good... thank you."
Now, she needed to breathe. Strangling a Hufflepuff with her hands or a plant was not going to look very good. Quote:

Laura looked at the Professor, minus 10 points was a bit steep, it wasn't her fault the Professor hadn't given her enough time to speak, she was trying to keep up but this Professor always rushed through her lesson it was like she didn't want them near her plants.
Laura smiled at Kurumi and gave the Gryffindor a great big hug. "Thank you Kurumi." Laura really couldn't believe her friend was leaving soon, she really wished that Kurumi would stay on a couple of years, couldn't she stay a seventh year for 4 years.
Laura turned back to the Professor. "I am sorry for shouting at you Professor." Laura blushed. "I just thought that you would have known about my situation with the wand." Laura now felt like using her wand it would be fun. An apology! ... at least she didn't have to play mind games with the girl, it was the last thing she wanted to do. "Apology accepted, but perhaps think twice before raising your voice at a Professor." It was a beyond foolish thing to do. "Laura, do you know how many students I have? On top of that, do you know how many plants I have? What my responsibilities are? ... I cannot be held accountable for remembering little details. Besides, I asked if anybody was missing anything... you need to hold yourself accountable for your learning, because we, as Professors, can only do so much. Next time be proactive and speak up sooner, in detail! ..." Merlin. "Now go on, you have catching up to do."
Ugh...
Now... she needed to walk around, keep the blood pumping, she needed to breathe.

She squinted her eyes slightly, before smiling and saying, "Okay. Just thought you looked a bit down." If you need to talk, you can talk to me. Pausing for a moment longer, Cora wondered what it could possibly be. If there was any hope that he would have mentioned it, it was lost after this pause. With one last "hope you don't stay in this mood forever" glance, Cora returned to her pot.
Cora pondered over what a "generous pinch" would entail. Hmmm. A pinch was truly a very vague measurement, and while she had been told the measurements weren't important, they were. They ALWAYS were. WHAT WAS IT WITH ALL THESE VAGUE MEASUREMENTS?! DRIZZLE? SPLASH? PINCH?! Cora was frustrated, and decided to accurately measure everything.
It had to be perfect, there was no guessing. Cora didn't just guess with things like this. Measuring half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, two tablespoons of neem oil, and one tablespoon of vinegar, Cora hesitantly added them to the pot, looking over to Eliza.
Concerned, Cora spoke up. "Professor, are you sure you couldn't give us exact measurements? I know you mentioned it shouldn't matter, but, well, it still does to me. I'm having trouble deciding how much to put in." Cora smiled sweetly, hoping the professor could give her exact numbers. It was like her sister and cooking. While her sister would just throw things in, Cora had to measure out every single ingredient, to the grain of salt. Stopping breifly at Cora's work station, Seren smiled. "Of course I'm certain," she mused. "The minsecticide isn't something you can get wrong with inaccurate measurements, which makes the act of measuring redundant."
Taking the girls vinegar, she emptied a portion of the contents into the pot making a little splash. "There. See that's not so hard."
... Some students seemed to be motoring through the activity. "Once you've completed the task, I want you to hold onto your spray bottles, you'll need it for the task force mission... if, you're not a member of the task force, then I suggest pitching in anyway and trying out your minsecticide in the garden, greenhouses or on a pot plat in the castle..." if they even had any. Surely the did. "Once you're done you may be dismissed..." OOC: The lesson will remain open for another 20 hours.
