So THAT was why her stomach was feeling funny. Norah had thought maybe she'd eaten something funny for lunch. PHEW. She peered through the steam to find her quill to jot down the newest set of instructions. Good thing her potion seemed to be in the right place, 'cause she hadn't even learned how to vanish things yet.

Norah pulled the wooden stick out, pointed her wand at it, and muttered "Scourgify." Good, so that was clean. She placed the stick into the cauldron and began her clockwise stirring. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Woooh, that was done. She picked up her wand again, cleaned the wooden stick, and then cast "scourgify" on the metal one. She had cleaned it earlier in the potion-making progress, but this potion was gonna be PERFECT so the nit-picky little thing got to be extra clean. She picked up two crow feathers in her gloved hands and dropped them in the cauldron, followed by a clockwise stir. Then another two feathers and another stir. She repeated this three more times, omitting the stir after the last feather addition. Sooo. Was that it? Bring on the next steps, professor, she was on a ROLLLL.
