Mortimer nodded as the Professor spoke. Pulling his mortar and pestle closer to himself and quickly cleaned them with a Scourgify and smiled to himself. Yep. CLEAN! Now NEXT STEP! Grabbing the two dock leaves he dropped them into his mortar and began to crush them as instructed.

When that was done to satisfaction he got up and went to retrieve an AShwinder egg. VERY CAREFULLY he made his way back to his station with it. Cracking it with great care into the mortar he then QUICKLY added the four sprigs of fluxweed. Once everything was mixed as it should be he added the contents into his cauldron.

Nodding as Lafay gave further instructions he carefully added the TEN drops of murtlap essence. Grabbing his wooden stirrer he commenced to stirring EIGHT times counter clockwise. Smiling once more to himself he snatched up the two parsley leaves and did as instructed... he crushed them loosely in his hands, letting the flakes fall into his cauldron along with the other ingredients.
