Next step. Kendall had sat up straighter again as those words had come out of Professor Lafay’s mouth, both because that meant they were continuing to brew and because it meant there was more she needed to watch carefully so she could continue staying out of trouble in this class. Honestly, the talk of shells melting and everything else that had preceded those two words had confused her a lot, but she was still determined to focus on the potion. The potion she was still thinking was going to smell horrible even without the smoke, but at least it wasn’t difficult to measure out the two ounces of bile. All she had to do was pretend it wasn’t bile, and then she set it aside as she returned her stirrer inside the potion and started stirring vigorously clockwise. Once the liquid was spinning at a good speed, which she was going to assume meant it was at a full spin, she stopped stirring and added the bile to the mini-whirlpool. Now she had to wait again. All that meant was time to add to her notes, and even better that she could do so before dealing with the flobberworm mucus.

That was definitely not something she wanted to contaminate her notebook with, so she made sure to carefully set it aside as she’d finished writing, reaching for the mucus and measuring out four cups of mucus into her measuring cup after Scourgifying it. Checking on her potion, she noticed it had stopped spinning, so she took her wooden spoon and started spooning the mucus into it. Ew, she thought, trying to keep moving methodically, like the professor had demonstrated, but wan ting to just get the step over with. The only thing keeping her on track was knowing that there was still the dung to deal with, and soon enough she had scooped the last bit of mucus into her potion and sat back again. They hadn’t been told the next step again yet, and she didn’t want to wait too close to the potion. Not knowing what was already inside. At least the milk wasn’t curdled yet, but it wasn’t really a plus.

SPOILER!!: Potions journal
Noxious potion
description: emits a green, bad-smelling smoke that makes someone think it is poisonous, and can make a person pass out or feel like throwing up, which will definitely happen if the potion is ingested. Can also injure a person by making them pass out and hit their head, and can be used as a distraction.

Ingredients:
Milk , enough to fill cauldron half way.
5 Doxy eggs
10 grams of Sulfur
2 ounces of armadillo bile
4 cups of flobberworm mucus
1 cup of whale oil
2 cups of Mountain Troll Dung
juice of one lemon
a handful of Poppy seeds

Steps:
1. Scourgify cauldron and make sure that it is clean and uncontaminated by anything
2. Fill cauldron halfway with cow’s milk
3. Light burner under cauldron, keeping it set to a low flame
4. Crack each doxy egg and add to cauldron, stirring once counter-clockwise after each egg
5. Put gloves on, then take each gem of sulfur and crumble it with your hands before adding to the cauldron
6. Measure out the 2 ounces of armadillo bile while vigorously stirring the potion clockwise until it is in a full spin
7. Add the armadillo bile
8. Wait for the spinning to stop on its own
9. Spoon the 4 cups of flobberworm mucus into the potion with a wooden spoon
