SPOILER!!: steps 1-3

The professor believed her with the vitamin C and stress thing. He probably believed in her more than she believed in herself because well, she kind of just pulled that out of thin air, and wasn't even sure if that was a thing. It sounded good though.

Moving on.

They were learning a new spell. Great. AJ was just SO good at learning new spells. Ha. No. That was the wrong attitude to have. She was going to have so much luck with this. Was that better? First things first. AJ cleaned her cauldron and her thermometer with the scourgify charm. That was one step that would mess up your whole potion brewing thing, and she did not want to have to start over.

Now it was time to practice this spell or the clean cauldron would have been pointless. "Ap-toh press-soo-rah...Ap-toh press-soo-rah...Ap-toh press-soo-rah." AJ felt fairly confident with it. The lion then picked up her wand and practiced making a straight vertical line. Got it. Time to put the two together.

Water was added to her cauldron, and a fire was going. "Apto pressure!" A vertical line was drawn with her wand and boom. Let's hope this works. The fourth year added the thermometer and was pleased to see that it stayed at 100 degree celcius. So much success.

SPOILER!!: steps 4-6

Clean knife was how she needed to start out. Clean, clean, clean. She was freaking Cinderella in this class. Chop, chop, chop. Once it looked nicely chopped, she added the lovage into the cauldron.

Next she had to play the waiting game, and AJ HATED waiting. This time it was only for five seconds so it really wasn't that bad. She tapped her foot five time and paused in between each tap to make sure it counted as a full second. Thorough, she was.

When the five seconds had passed she added the berries. Done!

It's Apto pressure - Ap-toh press-soo-rah -" did they get how to pronounce it?, "to apply pressure on the water so that it doesn't boil at 100 degree celcius." He paused to let them copy it, and continued: "Please go with the usual order: practice the spell - Ap-toh press-soo-rah - without your wands first, then practise the wand movement," he drew a straight, imaginary, vertical line with his wand, "and then combine the two only if you're sure you got it right." Well, this wasn't a lethal spell that could go terribly wrong. If anything, it'd be obvious that it didn't work if the water boiled at 100 degree celcius. Still, he didn't want any complacency. He sat down on his chair to watch them. The professor believed her with the vitamin C and stress thing.

SPOILER!!: steps 4-6 Cosgrach saw no problems that needed his attention, so he didn't get up from his chair and tapped his wand on the blackboard to reveal more steps. "I hope you've all cleaned your cauldrons and thermometers before adding water," he said, "and will continue to clean all the utensils before and after using." Did they even need a reminder at this point? He thought not, but he didn't want disasters. "Now, chop the lovage well and add it, wait for 5 seconds and add the berries immediately." It sounded easy, right? Quote: Originally Posted by Blackboard 4. Chop the lovage well and add it 5. Wait for 5 seconds 6.
