Armadillo bile? Okay. Uh.. that stuff, that looked like bile. So Alice measured out two ounces of the stuff and carefully dropped it into cauldron after stirring her potion in the direction she THOUGHT was clockwise. And, of course, she waited until it stopped spinning and stuff. Then, she began spooning in the flobberworm mucus. 'Cause she had seen what had happened to her Mama Selina and it would be pretty bad if two out of four Gryffindor leaders ended up royally screwing up at potions, yeah?
So she would focus.
For the Head Girl, obviously, not because she was scared of Lafay or anything.

She waited a moment and then summoned her jar of troll dung. "The clamp will help, but it won't mask it all so... try not to throw up in the cauldron."
She added the content of the Mountain Troll Dung jar. If that Branxton kid was grossed out by the mucus, she wondered what would happen with this. "Just add it in as quickly as you can."
Alice drizzled in the cup of what she thought was whale oil, being careful to drizzle it in slow and low, just as Lafay had. And then for.. wait, nose clamps? Did troll dung really smell THAT bad? But the Potions professor was probably right, so she stuck the clamps on. Ow. Those things hurt.
And then for the troll dung, dumped out of the jar carefully and.. SON OF GARDEN GNOME, that smelled
AWFUL. The nose clamps DID NOT help, nope. The fourth year wrinkled her nose a bit under the clamp as she held the dung out as far away from herself as possible and sloooowly shook the jar out into the cauldron.

Spoon in hand she began to stir - and STIR like she was a stircrazy person. Which she was because soon enough her stirring was in effect and the potion was being vigurously stirred in the direction of a clock.
When it was in full spin she dropped in the two ounces of armadillo bile and then just sat there watching the hypnotic spin of the potion. Waiting...waiting...waiting - why was it still SPINNING.
After what seemed like ages the girl finally sighed with GLEE as the potion had stopped spinning. When it had finished she took another clean wooden spoon and carefully scooped and spooned four cups of ictastic flobberworm mucus into the cauldron.
She had been waiting for her potion to quit spinning when Professor Lafay had snapped at Selina and then continued to give the next instructions. She just bit her lip and looked up at the Professor - her throat drying as she heard what was going in next.
Oh pooh. She just wrinkled her nose in disgust and took her nose clamp and quickly - a little too quickly placed it onto her nose. A little squeak of discomfort later she was ready to start with the next step.
She carefully picked up the cup of whale oil and started to drizzle in the oil. Low and slow of course as demonstrated. Her nose clamp was on a little longer than it should have been but it was best to get used to it.
Two cups? WHY two cups? She thought as the stench of Troll dung began to fill the air with its acrid - gag scent.
"Oh god I'm going to be sick" she groaned a whistling sound emanating from her nose as she tried to breath - but breathing only made it worse. She gagged a bit as she quickly dropped it into the cauldron. The scent just seeping out to her covered nose yet again.
The stench was so overpowering that all she could do to stop from throwing up in her cauldron was to turn her head slightly. The contents of her stomach unfortunately finding a new home on the floor, and some unfortunate fellow students and people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
On the bright side. She felt loads better.
At least she didn't throw up like Mika, though, so that was good.
But that vomit DIDN'T HELP THE PLEASANTRY OF SCENTS AND AROMAS IN THE ROOM, OKAY?
It also didn't help that the Claw had been sitting very near her and had kind of up chucked ALL OVER HER. .. like, seriously? Alice cringed as Mika's lunch and breakfast and past meals spewed out all over her. ..
"Um.. help, please?" And Mika was lucky they were FRIENDS or she would have been getting BITTEN right about now.
