Lily was starting to get nervous. First Professor Culloden had seemed like he wanted to hex everyone into submission, and now he was walking around smiling at everyone as if they were all perfect little students and he hadn’t been angry at all. That was enough to keep her on her toes, and yet there were also the last few steps of the potion to finish. She’d known there had been at least one step left, but apparently that was drawn out into three. Plus, there was waiting, so it was almost inevitable that she was just going to stay nervous. At least she had something to do while she waited for ten whole minutes, but writing the last steps into her journal, even adding another little note as he had given them more instructions after the potion brewing steps were done, hadn’t taken up hardly two of those minutes. She’d double-checked that with her watch, even. Only two minutes had past, and she still had eight to go before she could finish. Definitely nervous, and because of that, she’d reverted to her normal little habit when she was worried or nervous. She found herself humming softly to herself, not really one song or another. Just music, which kept her from checking the time every minute.
Soon enough, she checked her watch again and let out a breath she hadn’t known she’d been holding. Ten minutes, so now she could add the first snake fang. That was easy enough. It would have been difficult to mess up just dropping a fang into her cauldron. Although that simplicity was threatened as the professor had changed demeanor yet again, back to the yelling, and she’d jumped. Nearly dropping the fang, but luckily it had landed inside the cauldron. Okay then, she thought, glancing up at him before applying her attention back to her potion. The flame underneath was easily extinguished, and the second fang landed in the potion much more smoothly than the first. Quickly Scourgifying her stirrer, she slipped it into the potion and stirred it once counter-clockwise. At least it looked as she imagined it ought to have, but she still wasn’t really anxious to try it out. Drinking thick yellow liquids really weren’t her thing, unless it was lemon. This was definitely not lemon.
She Scourgified her cup again, along with a ladle, however, transferring some of said yellow liquid into the cup for someone to try. She slipped an ice cube into the remainder of her potion afterwards, and then set her journal safely aside before cleaning all of her tools aside from those still containing the potion. Now all that was left was finding someone who was willing to be her partner and test her potion, and her green eyes flickered around the room. “Does anyone want to test mine out?,” she asked, trying to sound more enthusiastic than she actually felt. She was going to still have to drink someone else’s potion, after all.
