It had been a complete moon cycle and Ian headed down to the laboratory to check on his potion.

He walked in, cleaned up and prepared himself and his implements. The first thing he did was look into his cauldron and check. Success! Silver was the color and according to his notes, that was what it should be. That meant he hadn't wasted a whole moon cycle plus.

He sorted out his things. He went and retrieved the black cat fur and his metal stirring stick. He took half the fur and sprinkled it into the mixture. With his left hand, he placed the stirrer carefully into the silvery mixture and began to turn it against the clockwise direction.

He began to count as the stick rotated the cauldron quickly AND with vigor. 1 stir, 2 stir, 3 stir, 4 stir, 5 stir, 6 stir, 7 stir, 8 stir, 9 stir, 10 stir, 11 stir, 12 stir AND 13 stir. He removed the stick and washed it off. Scourgify!

He grabbed the rest of the fur and sprinkled it over the top of the mixture. Man! That's a LOT of cat fur. Poor kitty! He wondered how many bald kitties were walking around so they could make this potion. Returning his stick to the cauldron, he began to count and stir in a clockwise motion, this time s.l.o.w.l.y...1 stir, 2 stir, 3 stir, 4 stir, 5 stir, 6 stir, 7 stir, 8 stir, 9 stir, 10 stir, 11 stir, 12 stir AND finally 13 stir. He once again removed his stick and scourgified it.

CHECK POINT! Ian leaned over the cauldron and inhaled. He quickly pulled his head back as his wrinkly nose revealed the smell of the honeysuckle. So much sickly sweetness assaulted his poor olfactory senses. Must be doing it right, according to his notes.

Once again...it was waiting time. Another week and then the caterpillar execution could commence. He cleaned up his area, returned the cauldron to it's waiting spot and left the laboratory, making sure to annotate he'd been here and what he'd done and used. As he walked out the door, he put his fingers in a V, tapped the front left of his shoulder with his right hand and kissing it and raising it in the air, he gave the lab a pleasant, PEACE OUT!
