Listening to Professor Culloden, Lux made a careful note of everything he said. Of course she had guessed the reason why this potion was half-dark, but it was nice to hear confirmation because it showed that she was actually learning. When it came to potions she was nowhere near an expert and she honestly didn't expect to be for a while.

As the first part of the recipe appeared on the board, Lux recorded everything in her notes. She would strive to go down the 'happiness' route as much as possible when it came to this potion, but 'excitement' sounded pretty awesome too. She wasn't keen on inducing emotions, but good ones were better than bad at least.

Carefully she removed her equipment and potions ingredients from her bag and gave everything a thorough cleaning with Scourgify. After donning clean gloves, her cauldron was then filled halfway with pure water. Now on to the spell!

"Ap-toh press-soo-rah." Haha, wow. That sounded weird when enunciated slowly, but she was trying to mimic Professor Culloden until she got the hang of it. "Ap-toh press-soo-rah... Ap-toh press-soo-rah... Ap-toh press-soo-rah..." And now all together. "Apto pressura... Apto pressura..." To practice the wand movement, Lux raised her wand then SLOWLY lowered it as if she was drawing a straight and vertical line. Repeating the motion a few times, she was then ready to perform the spell on her potion.

"Apto pressura." As she spoke, she drew another vertical line.
