The five doxy eggs were lined up in front of several other phials and jars, and Mo grabbed each in turn to crack over the cauldron. The hard part was avoiding getting any shells into the potion, and Mo raised his elbow to his ear to get the professor's attention. "What would happen to the potion if you got shell in it from the eggs? Would it ruin it, or change it, or would it be fine?"

Not that he did get any shell in his potion, which Mo carefully checked after ever stir. Mo set the discarded shells to one side and wiped the goo on his hands on the trailing hem of the robes of the person in front of him. It seemed like a really good idea to start carrying a towel for situations such as this.

On the gloves went, and then Mo picked up several bits of sulfur. It wouldn't do any harm to take ONE little sniff, would it? He passed the sulfur beneath his nose and gagged noisily over the smell as a result. Gross. That was a terrible smell, and he was glad to be rid of it. All 10 grams were promptly crumbled and dropped into the potion.

He was starting to be concerned about how the room was going to smell.

... The boy had a lot of questions.

"If you can remove the egg shell before it melts you should be fine. If the shell melts, you've ruined your potion." She said to the young man.

And will my cauldron explode since I didn't? And...and...if I get blown up will Professor Lafay kill me?" Yeah...she might have had a few questions. "Oh! And can I see your notes???"

Hearing her name Hecate went over to the little Gryffindor. "Get back to your seat." She told the child, "and to answer your question, if you get blown up, yes, I will kill you."

"Next step." She said going back to the cauldron. "Measure out the armadillo bile, and begin stirring the potion vigorously clockwise, when it's in full spin, then drop in the 2 ounces of Armadillo bile. Sit and wait for it to stop spinning on it's own, then take the 4 cups of flobberworm mucus and spoon it in with a wooden spoon."
