You will want to add the toothpaste, stirring it in gently." She said and she stirred it in. "There is no number of times to stir of direction, just stir until it's off the spoon. Then you will want to add the honey."
She went to retrieve the honey and used a clean metal spoon to measure it out. "Be patient with this. You will want it to drip slowly in the cauldron. So just take your time. Do one tablespoon at a time, and just hold it a good six to eight inches from it. And be careful it doesn't splash."
Lily carefully watched the professor as the class continued. Toothpaste...check. The claw made sure that she put the toothpaste on her clean metal spoon and started stirring it into the potion. Once it was no longer on the spoon, Lily cleaned it and picked up her honey container. Slow drips...got it. Taking about a tablespoon of honey, Lily proceeded to slowly drip it into the cauldron.
Drip...
Drip...
Drip...
drop...
As the honey dripped into the potion, Lily carefully held the spoon, making sure that it wasn't to far from the surface of the potion. Each time a drop fell, a ripple went across the surface, like how you see when rain falls. Once her honey was in, Lily cleaned her spoon and turned back to her notebook, jotting down the rules to follow when making the potion.
