 Long Term Herbology Assignment
Kye had finally gotten all of the pieces together for her Herbology assignment. She had finished, but was unsure how she felt about her product still. Hoping she wasn't about to find out she accidentally poisoned herself, she went into the bathroom and lay her items out on the sink. Err… wait here please. If she was going to put this towel on her face, she wasn’t going to just lay it across the sink. She got out her wand and scourged the sink twice over just in case, hoping she could count on her fellow students to be clean but not putting all of her faith into the notion. Teenagers were iffy. Satisfied that it was clean enough, Kye lay down the small towel in a fold.
She let the water run for a bit, waiting for it to catch a little warmth. As it did, Kye looked around for Moaning Myrtle. She had no problem with the ghost personally (she didn’t typically go in this restroom anyhow), but she would prefer not to be snuck up on or yelled at right now. The coast seemed clear, and Kye rubbed the soap in her hands until it began to foam and bubble. Okay she thought, At least it’s behaving like soap, right? That’s a good sign. She began tracing it across her face, outlining her eyes and withdrawing her lips so she could get a full emersion to her soap. As she inhaled through her nose, she could catch the scent coming off of her soap. If she hadn’t been the creator, she would not have noticed the grapefruit addition. The lavender scent was quite powerful but not too overwhelming. The juniper berry seemed to add just enough for her to question what it was, but it seemed to let jasmine take the lead.
Her face was covered in soap and she tried to observe how it felt on her skin. It wasn’t burning which was a good sign. She washed off her face, noting that the juniper and grapefruit smell were very weak in comparison to the lavender. Next up was the mask. She opened the container and made a face. It needed to be mixed up a little bit. The water seemed to be separating slightly? Or was it just because she had accidentally used too much when making it? She put the lid back on and shook the ingredients a bit to get the right consistency again. She reopened it and took a bit in her hands. As she could have guessed, she noticed that it didn’t seem to stay precisely where she had lay it. It was being weighed down enough by the extra water and weight of the oatmeal (she assumed). She did her best to drain the excess water from her container, since she probably should have done that first, and put a bit more of the mask on herself. It seemed to be meshing together nicely enough now to be able to keep on her face for the appropriate amount of time. She took note of the noticeable presence of baking soda and tried to relax for a few minutes more. Letting ten minutes go by, she began to wash off the food mask and picked up the towel to pat dry. She had made light about her towel not being as soft as she would like, but one accidental rub across the face reminded her. She had done a pretty good job of getting the fibers out, but it seemed as though it had a couple of pieces that could have been done a little better. It didn’t hurt her face or anything, it was just a slight inconsistency.
Face fairly dry now, Kye looked in the mirror to make sure she got everything off. She didn’t notice anything different about her skin by appearance, but she ran her hand across her cheek and it definitely felt softer. She could feel the moisture and the aftereffect of the baking soda, which she was grateful for. Deciding that now was the only logical time to write her assessment, she cleaned up the sink and headed back to her dorm. Honestly, it was a miracle she hadn’t found a way to make her face catch fire or something.
