Benjamin was staying quiet, figuring it was best given his classmates seemed to have a better grasp on the topic. The second year Gryffindor did take notes on what was being said, careful to record what was deemed positive from the potions master and could be useful in the process. It was exciting though, all this talk of dragons and fire and replicating it. He also couldn't help the curiousity that peaked when mention of people being allowed to demonstrate it when they were done. Cool!

Quote:

• 3 goose feathers (chopped WELL that they look like powder)
• 5 centimetre square of parasites (mycosis fungus)
• Roughly 2 centimetre square fire-crab shell (prepared)
• One fire slug
• 8 drops of salamander blood
• Some flobberworm mucus (depends on how much rigidity one wants)

Finished with the list, Ben got up from his chair to retrieve what he needed from the professor's desk. The feathers, fungus and piece of fire shell. Careful with his items in his gloved hands, the second year returned to his workstation to begin the brew.

"Scourgify..." he cast quietly on the inside of the cauldron, remembering Lafay drilling that in. "Aquamenti," he then added, canceling the spell when there was enough water...maybe just a tad more than directed. When the professor mentioned cleanliness, Benjamin couldn't help but be thankful that he had remembered it. One sigh of relief.

Biting his lip, the young Gryffindor tried his best to remember as the older man went over the next steps. Powdered feathers in water...check. Stiring with wooden stick....check. Heater turned to high heat...check. Ben swallowed listening about the parasites from the fungus. Thank goodness for gloves. He placed it in the mortar now clean again and went about crushing them, counting off the seconds in his head. Next was mixing with water and he was almost tempted to scoop some from cauldron. Instead he added a little with the water spell and shook the mortar, just barelu escaping a spill.

Ooops.

Recovering he moved to add the mixture into the cauldron of water, not quite as calm as he probably should have.
