The Prefect took note of all the vital things his Head of House was saying and demonstrating them. He retreived two dock leaves and placed them into the mortar, then followed up by crushing it with the pestal.

After he was done with that, Kennedy stood up and went to the refrigerated section to get an Ashwinder egg. Cool. He's never touched one before. He walked back to his working area, causiosly. When he was back at his table he broke the egg and added into the mortar, adding four sprigs of Fluxweed. When he was done, he looked up, his mind completely into the lesson and away from the news he had received that day.

Kennedy looked up, giving Professor Lafay his full attention. He added the ten Murlap Essence as instructed and then stirred eight times, counter-clockwise. After he was done with that he took the Parsley and crushed them in his hands above the cauldron.

This action reminded him of his mother when she cooked with Oregano. She would always crush the tiny leaves in her hands. Memories.
