It was RED. HUZZAH.
Okay, so... magic now. Alrightalrightalright. Just a few moments to write down those instructions and practice the incantations along with the rest of the class, and READY.
Toby still had his wand to hand from all the levitating of ingredients and stuff, so it didn't take too long to wave it over the potion just once. Then, repeating Culloden's instructions over and over in his head, placed the tip of his wand to the edge of the cauldron and traced it alllll the way around the edge, clockwise.
"Amittere pondus."
Aaaaaaand then... a DOUBLE wand wave, before Toby traced the egde of the cauldron with his wand, this time in the opposite direction.
"Gracilis. Gracilis. Gracilis."
Aaaaaaand almost done. Just WAAAAAAAVING THE WAND three more times aaaand, hey presto! Uh... shame about the smell, though. In fact, Toby wondered if his potion had gone WRONG somewhere with the smell it was giving off, but no... apparently that was normal. Uh. Maybe he'd pass on testing this one. Maybe
definitely, after hearing that last little note, too.
Toby hurriedly copied down the notes from the board and packed up his stuff. He labelled a flask of the potion and all but bounced to the front of the room to leave it on Culloden's desk.
"CoollessonthanksProfessor," he said one big rush of enthusiasm.
"Haveaniceday,byeeeee."
Aaaaaaaaaaand, then he was off, WHOOSH. Gonna go grab his pogo stick and get rid of some energy.
