Zander Adair had been in class and paying attention the ENTIRE time. He was just leaving the question answering to some of the others. ‘Cause they’d have better answers anyways. Especially Sophie Brown. She was basically a potions master herself, so no need to block that sort of genius from happening. His responses would just be background noise anyways. But let it be known that Zander actually DID PASS his Potion’s OWL. Incase anyone was wondering. IT IS LEGITIMATE. He DID it. It was an actual thing. And he was very proud of himself thankyouverymuch. Although, the theoretical portion wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Which is why Zander was incredibly glad to finally start this potion business.

Thank Merlin for brewing, right?

Anyways.

First thing first. Water. WAIT. That is NOT the first thing. The first thing is a clean workspace and a clean cauldron. See, he did absorb SOME information. ”Scourgify!” And now that all that was taken care of. NOW he could do the first step. ”Aguamenti!! he filled the cauldron to the halfway mark and stopped the flow of water just as it got there. Then he carefully lowered his wand down in a straight line. For the practice round, y’know? Wand movement was EASY.

The spell was a bit wordy though… Ap-toh press-soo-rah. Was that right? ”Ap-toh press-soo-rah! Ap-toh press-soo-rah!” He practiced a couple of times along with the rest of the class. Before lifting his wand once more to draw it down, as a straight line. ”Apto pressura,” he watched his cauldron curiously for a few moments before OH. He had to light it. Duuuuh. ”Incendio!” he watched his CLEAN thermometer as the temperature started rising. Good, good. Very good.


You know what? Zander DID clean ALL of his things before hand thankyouverymuch. For once in his life he was doing something the right way the FIRST time. It was GREAT.

Anyways, time to chop the lovage- which was a very funny name for a potions ingredient if you ask him. And he waited exactly five seconds. One. Two. Three. Four. FIVE. Before adding the berries in. Four mistletoe berries, to be exact.
