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.
Cough.
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.
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.
