Sander paid attention when the Potions Master started speaking again. He watched the demonstration and then picked up his quill and quickly scribbled down the steps into his journal.
Now for the delicate task of putting the slug into the cauldron without setting fire to the entire Potions classroom. He allowed the potion to sit for one minute and while he waited he quickly cleaned his knife with the Scouring Charm before cutting the slug vertically into two equal pieces.
His minute was up!! Sander picked up the pieces and dropped it into the cauldron and then quickly stepped as far away from his cauldron as he could.
"
Fire in the hole," he called out a warning to the rest of his fellow classmates, and then he waited.
"
WHOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH, BOOOM" was all he heard, and then his potion was on fire. Sander rushed back to his cauldron and began blowing out the flames with his breath.
"
Blow....blow....breathe....blow....blow....blow... .breathe....blow...blow..." Sander kept blowing at the flames and was glad to see that it was working. Soon the flames died down.
"
Wow now that was an amazing piece of special effects." Sander thought to himself as he picked up his quill and updated his journal.
