SPOILER!!: notes

Tora had barely finished the second and third steps before the professor gave them two more. Luckily she had finished and was able to take notes on the two. Stir counter clockwise for seven turns... couldn't be too hard. She grasped her stirring stick and swooop, swooop, swooop, swooop, swooopp, "siiixxxx, seeeveeeen," she finished her counting aloud and red the rest of the line of instruction in her notes. She flicked off the heater, but now she had to wait. What to do? What to do? Five whole minutes to waste now. She couldn't doodle, because she didn't like it really and she wasn't any good. She couldn't just walk around the room like she wanted because she figured that the professor wouldn't appreciate it. She couldn't just sit there though. She decided to practice some simple levitation spells instead. Not on any of the potions supplies of course (that could be dangerous!) but on her bag. "Wingardium Leviosa," the third year said quietly. She shwooshed and flicked her wand at the bag and it rose and hovered off the ground a couple inches before she let it back down. It was an incredibly simple spell, but she couldn't just do nothing and she dared not try anything more fun. She glanced over at her cauldron. No luck there it was still vapor-ing. What to pass the time with? Her hand brushed against the bulge in her pocket. Of course! She could play with her Astreglobe! The astronomer's device was her most prized possession. It magically showed all the stars in a dome above a compass-like surface with a needle that pointed not to North, but to the direction she was facing, in regards to North, South, East, or West and what stars and constellations and other celestial bodies would be in front of her. She was happily occupied with that for several minutes, changing the views from planets only to summer constellations to zodiac symbols to whatever she could think of with a tap from her wand. When she looked back over at her cauldron, it had cooled and she realized it was time to move onto the next step. She sadly tucked away the Astreglobe and once again focused on her potion.

The firecrab shell went onto a metal spoon just as the instructions stated, and she very, very, very gently lowered it into the cauldron. She was known to be clumsy like this, and she didn't particularly want to find out what would happen if it splashed. Now for more stirring. Boring. She stirred once counter clockwise, then once clockwise, then once counter-wise, once clock-wise,counter-wise, clockwise, counterwise, clock, counter, clock, counter and finally clock. She counted each counter clockwise and then clockwise turn as one and so finished with six on each side. That was when she realized that she had stirred the wrong way first. Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid! But there was nothing she could do about it now... She gently removed the shell and put it on a tissue before raising her hand. She should ask if it was still safe to put in her mouth. "Sorry, Professor? I think I made a small mistake," she said.

amadshade Firecrab Join Date: Mar 2013 Location: Ganymede (GMT-5) Posts: 777 Hogwarts RPG Name: Louise Fellen Third Year	Professor Tora made a mistake :o Jupiter's Satellite SPOILER!!: notes Ingredients • 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) Method: 1. Clean and fill your cauldron a third of the way with water 2. Add powdered goose feather. Stir clockwise until it looks homogenous and then turn the heater to high. 3. Get your pestle and mortar, crush the parasites for thirty seconds or so, fill the mortar with water, shake it for them to mix better and add it slowly to the potion. (Wear gloves for this bit) 4. Stir counter clock-wise for 7 times and turn off the heater. Let it cool until no vapour is seen. This should take about 5 minutes. 5. Take the fire crab shell but do not add it! Hold it with a metal spoon, lower it nicely into the potion just inside the surface—make sure it doesn’t splash water AT ALL—then start stirring 1 time clockwise, 1 time counter clockwise for 12 times in total. Each stir should take about ten seconds for it to spread thoroughly. Once done with stirring, get it out and put it away on a tissue.
