"A direct, life-long ticket to Azkaban," Cosgrach said simply to Adi, to make sure boy understood it was a terrible spell.
"Noah Kittredge, got it." He smiled at the girl and hoped he wouldn't forget the name.
...but - but she RUINED one WHOLE horn! And he thought she was a sweet little girl -
"Tell me you've grated only half of the horn." Even though he knew the hard truth.
Cosgrach sighed. Kyroh was still so innocent, and he didn't want to be one of the people to prepare him for the wild world, but... since he'd asked...
"Because they strongly thought what they believed was correct, and they felt the need to show it." Stupid, stupid. "They thought they were saving these 'non-believers'." And more stupid.
Sigh.
OOOOOHOHOHOH!
Did Kevin got it wrong? HAHAHA!
Cosgrach, VERY pleased with himself, sloooowly walked up to the kid with a dirty, dirty smirk.
"Bicorn, really?" Tut tut. "Looks to me you're too blind with arrogance." How he wished this was the last step of brewing, so that he could vanish ALL his cauldron! But still, he vanished the bicorn horn. Better than nothing.
"It doesn't look dirty," he said to the girl as he was passing by her work station, "but you never know. So." Drawing his wand, he cast the cleaning spell for her this time and smiled. "Always clean it before and after brewing." Yeah?
So far, so good. Cosgrach didn't dare get hopeful that the class would be well, but he was pleased.
"Second step is, heating the cauldron without adding anything at medium heat for a minute. Then we add three water glasses of purified water." He eyed them all. Could they do it? "These buckets have purified water." For those who couldn't produce it.
He tapped his wand on the blackboard once for the steps to appear, and then walked to Sophie Newell's working station again.
Once he was done grating half of the unicorn horn, Ethan placed the bowl of grated unicorn horn aside, and cleaned his cauldron and cup for the water.
“Scourgify!” He placed his cauldron on top of his burner, ignited it with fire and placed it on medium heat. While waiting for a minute, he stood up and walked up front to get himself 3 cups of purified water. He’d have to research though on how to make water pure with magic. It seems to him that it’s as important as applying the cleaning spell in potions all the time.
A minute passed and Ethan added the purified water into his heated cauldron. Easy peasy.
While waiting for the next step, he raised his hand and tried to get the attention of the potions master.
“Professor? Is there a counter…potion for this?” he asked as he pointed at his cauldron.
“I mean, it is prohibited in courts and such, but for good measure…is there a potion that can be given to an individual to make sure that such potion won’t work prior to testifying?” Think…sneaky people slipping in a drop of two of this evil genius when people aren't looking. Surely, they must cover all the bases, you know.
