"Now clean up your area, scourgify your cauldrons, repeat the five C's of potion making and then start over!"

That ruined her mood.

"Next step will be to add two cups of Elf-made wine vinegar." She said and motioned to the door of the potions cupboard. "There is a barrel in there with enough for the whole class." She took the vinegar, burgundy in color and poured it slowly in with the water.

After her fifth year she did not have to take this class anymore and endanger anyone's life with her proness to blowing things up.

So she got up from her seat with shaky legs and looked to Gideon for support. A smile or something would make it a lot easier to keep moving forward. But none-the-less she moved across the room to the cupboard and got the ingredient the like the rest of her class. Once she had it she returned to her seat and poured in the two cups of the liquid. Nothing was blowing up... yet.


Gideon tried not to wince as Lafay dumped over the cauldrons of several of the students in the class, the clatter of the cauldrons and the fizzle of the water over the hot flames causing enough of a racket. He focused on the task at hand as Professor Lafay moved on to the first ingrediant as there was no point to dwell and be thought of as distracted.

2 cups of Elf-made wine vinegar

Getting up from his work station, he moved to the cupboard and to the barrell where the vinegar was. As he awaited his turn, he caught Selina's look and offered a discrete, reassuring smile. He knew how hateful and worried about the class and the fourth year wished there was some way he could help her feel more relaxed about things. Turning away, he measured out the 2 cups he needed and carefully moved back to his work space, gingerly pouring in the vinegar into his heated cauldron.

So far so good...and it looked as if Selina as good as well.
