Cosgrach thought about the question. "More like, the effects would go boom on the drinker." Could he imagine it? "Like, your arrogance would explode at times and such."

Cosgrach smiled at her then. "And I really liked her, so I'm glad to hear this." He could tell she was like her big sister.

.......

Had he just... "Please tell me you had divided the lion fur into two before adding." Please.

Does the lion's fur like..." she squinted, choosing her words carefully. "Lions are confident and carry themselves really majestically, I mean, they're KINGS, so would more of this ingredient make the drinker of the potion a bit more confident than someone who adds a bit less to theirs?" Was that it?

Her hands were not so big, so was the proportion right? "Uh, professor, in case of...hand proportions..." She mentioned, before he left, "...how would this work if my palms, let's say..." And then she showed him her medium-size hands, "They're not so big. Would the potion still work with people who have big hands?"
Oh, dove in Spanish! He smiled at her. "Pal, then." Yep. Then, he heard Sophie's question, and before he could answer, Pal asked the same. Cosgrach smiled at them.

"With such measures, like a pinch, a handful etc., it doesn't matter if your hand is small or big. The important thing is that it's a handful." Hmm? This also answered the lion thing Sophie asked, didn't it?

Cosgrach shrugged an 'I don't know.' "I can't say anything before you create it, Puck," he said, "because it depends on how you'll make it a spray." Yeah?

Everyone was done with the steps, so Cosgrach waved his wand at the blackboard to reveal the next set of steps.

"Stir seven times clockwise with a METAL stirrer. If your cauldron is pewter, you need to wait for 7 minutes. If it's brass, wait for 5 minutes. If it's copper, wait for 4. You won't sit idly, however! You'll mix sheep wool and fox fur with salamander blood in a CLEAN bowl. Make sure it's mixed well, and once the time is up, add only FOUR tea spoons of the mixture. Is all clear?"


OOC: I'll post 24 hours later.
