Zhenya watched and listened at the first step. Raw honey. Sounded delicious! Not the time to think about food, she told herself.

She got the honey in front of her and dipped the spoon in, the. Did as the professor did. Then she repeated that step twice more so that there were three spoons, roughly the same amount, in the cauldron.

Next ingredient was the five basil leaves. She took the from her row of ingredients and listened for Professor Lafay's instructions on what to do with them. She had to slice them as thin as she could. She pulled out her silver knife and picked up her wand to say "scourgify," to clean it. The.

Though she had a bit of a fear of knives and pain so she stabbed it as carefully as she could, but so that she could still say stabbing rather than cutting. When she had some holes in her papaya she stuffed some of the basil in there and saw she needed more holes, so she kept stabbing it. After a few moments all the basil was in the papaya and she put the whole fruit in the mixture.
