Presley asked the obvious question. Why did being around Gwen always make her feel stupid? She was a smart girl, getting straight O's, except in Herbology, and that was being remedied. So why did Gwen have the power to make her feel four years old without even trying? It was wholly unfair. She pasted on a bright smile, and finished adding the carefully, evenly cut ginger root.
Gwen waited for Presley to finish, getting quite bored of just staying. She grinned when she heard Presley talk, and then the ravvie replied:
‘Well, because the potion won’t wait hours to explode. If we do something wrong it’s going to explode right away. So, that means that the problem was with the last thing we added,or did.’ Wasn’t that obvious? ‘Umm… all right’, Gwen started saying after Presley was done.
Quite fast. Remarkable, the girl thought.
‘So now we need to stir twice counter-clockwise’, she added.
And that was what direction… exactly? Left? Right? Right, she decided and did as it said in the instructions she had read, noting this on the piece of parchment.
But…this was weird. How could something go wrong from stirring? Meh, beats me...
