She hadn’t really gotten any response to her suggestions, but then Brooklyn had noticed that for the most part Professor Culloden hadn’t singled anyone out. Therefore it wasn’t a direct slight, so she could deal with that. Except she still wanted to know if she’d gotten any points for giving an answer in the first place. Apparently that would have to wait, as he’d started discussing the actual potion they’d be working on today and she’d slid her potions journal over to start writing down the notes as they’d appeared on the blackboard. Her cauldron was already set up for whenever they got to the point of lighting a flame underneath, but before she got to practicing the spell they’d been introduced to, she took her wand out and made sure to Scourgify the cauldron. Everything else she could clean as she needed it, but she wasn’t going to have to start over for having a dirty cauldron.
Once that was done, she set her wand down to practice. “Apto Pressura. Ap-to Pres-su-ra,” she repeated a few times, tracing a vertical line in the air with a finger like they’d been instructed. Once she felt she had the incantation down, she moved on to practicing the wand movement for real. A straight, vertical line over her cauldron, minus any water or flame or anything. Minus the incantation too, but they’d get put together soon enough. First she had to actually get to the need for the spell, and she Scourgified her cauldron once more for good measure before using her wand to fill it with water halfway. At least she didn’t have to do that the Muggle way, or light the burner under her cauldron. A quick Incendio took care of that. After the spell. “Apto pressure,” she repeated once more, tracing out the vertical line over her half-filled cauldron, then switching to light the flame.
Now it had to get to 100 degrees, but that didn’t seem to take very long. That just needed the thermometer she rarely used, which needed another Scourgify. She still managed that before the water got to 100 degrees, which was a small victory she’d expected. Once that was done, she’d Scourgified her knife and slid the lovage over to chop it into fine pieces. Once it seemed chopped well enough, she gathered it up and added it to the water, waiting five seconds exactly before she dropped the four berries into the water as well. Carefully. She wasn’t planning on splashing herself with hot water any time soon, but then she was left waiting for the next steps.
