Hogwarts RPG Name:
Cora Clearwater
Fourth Year
Default Post 2 and Professor!

Cora looked at Ethan skeptically. Something was surely troubling him, but Cora accepted the fact that he wouldn't say it. She squinted her eyes slightly, before smiling and saying, "Okay. Just thought you looked a bit down." If you need to talk, you can talk to me. Pausing for a moment longer, Cora wondered what it could possibly be. If there was any hope that he would have mentioned it, it was lost after this pause. With one last "hope you don't stay in this mood forever" glance, Cora returned to her pot.

SPOILER!!: Step 2
2) As the colour of the water turns amber, add two generous pinches of cayenne pepper, a generous drizzle of neem oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Stir occasionally.


Cora pondered over what a "generous pinch" would entail. Hmmm. A pinch was truly a very vague measurement, and while she had been told the measurements weren't important, they were. They ALWAYS were. WHAT WAS IT WITH ALL THESE VAGUE MEASUREMENTS?! DRIZZLE? SPLASH? PINCH?! Cora was frustrated, and decided to accurately measure everything.

It had to be perfect, there was no guessing. Cora didn't just guess with things like this. Measuring half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, two tablespoons of neem oil, and one tablespoon of vinegar, Cora hesitantly added them to the pot, looking over to Eliza.

Concerned, Cora spoke up. "Professor, are you sure you couldn't give us exact measurements? I know you mentioned it shouldn't matter, but, well, it still does to me. I'm having trouble deciding how much to put in." Cora smiled sweetly, hoping the professor could give her exact numbers. It was like her sister and cooking. While her sister would just throw things in, Cora had to measure out every single ingredient, to the grain of salt.
