On a whim Presley stirred her potion once clockwise and once counterclockwise. The color shifted until it looked exactly like Gwen's potion. "We did it," she smiled at Gwen. They'd done the potion without teacher supervision! Well, Lafay was in the room, but Presley didn't think she was paying much attention to the two of them, so it really was without teacher supervision.
Gwen finally stopped thinking that she was stupid when she saw the potion coming out right. She then heard Presley talk and then, while grinning, she replied:
‘Well, we still need to stir for two minutes…in any direction (thankfully)’. After a short break she added :
’This helps unify the potion’.
When she wanted to start stirring she heard some noise close to them.
Aaaaa –DUCK! she wanted to scream, but managed not to. She did not think of running, so she remained on the same spot. Only her eyes moved around, scanning the place.
Hmm…what’s going on? However, when she wanted to finally finish the potion, the girl heard the noise again. At least this time she didn’t get scared (
hehe), noticing it was only an owl.
