-------------------------------- "Alright everyone," he said, "Add boomslang skin and wait for 5 minutes. Then, add the larvae. If all has gone well, it should be completely clear like clean water."
[/COLOR] Ilia added to her notes as she listened.
Step 7. Ilia took the fluxweed and cut away everything but the leaves, then cut the leaves into three exactly equal pieces and added them. Bloop, into the pot
Step 8. Taking up her wooden spoon that she had cleansed before starting, she gently stirred her potion. Clockwise 1, counter clockwise 2, clockwise 3, counterclockwise 4, clockwise 5, counter clockwise 6, clockwise 7, counter clockwise 8, clockwise 9, counter clockwise 10, clockwise 11, counter clockwise 12, clockwise 13, counter clockwise 14. With her stirring complete, she examined the potion. Muddy as the bottom of a pond, but not foul of odor.....not like her last divination class. She cringed silently at the thought.
Step 9. Now time for the measures of Boomslang skin. She delicately lowered them into the cauldron. Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. She hummed to herself quietly as she timed the five minute wait. She took the wait time as clean time and"Scourgify" cleaned everything that she had just used.
Step 10. It was now time to add the larvae, the point that she wasn't terribly fond of. Ilia could empathize with the girl who asked what else she could use. She wasn't fond of it either, but she knew it was part of potion craft and that sometimes there wasn't an alternative that would produce proper results. She comforted herself in the thoughts that other animals would eat them and that the professor probably treated them very nicely. She took a breath and added them , counting carefully. Upon the last one, the brew became as clear as before she added anything to it.
------------
She knew prodding Henric earlier had made him happier and that made her feel a little better. She kept her eye on him throughout class, to make sure he wasn't stumbling or having trouble. Though she did poke him just lightly as he stared into his now clear potion. Good job, she mouthed the words and nodded to him. Encouragement couldn't hurt right? She decided when it came choosing time that she was making a happiness potion, as she thought of him. |
