Cue a VERY happy professor.
"Cut the fluxweed leaves - and only the leaves, you can throw away the rest of it - in three pieces and add them. Then, with a clean wooden stick, stir once clockwise, once counter clockwise and alternate like that for 7 times. The total number of stirs should be 14. If you've done all correctly, it should be muddy but not smelly."

Checkpoint: It should be muddy, but not smelly.
He kept working on his potion chewing his lip as he worked. This was fairly easy in some ways, but he was nervous about getting it right! He took the fluxweed and removed the leaves before he cut them in 3 perfect pieces and added them to his cauldron. Picking up his wooden stick he stirred it clockwise, then counter clockwise, counting each one til he got to 14 exactly and set the stick aside and looked into his cauldron. Swallowing it looked a little muddy. Was it enough?? He really hoped so! It didn't smell, and the professor had said no smell. So at least that part was right...

Any questions? It was fairly easy, wasn't it? Once they were done, they would be finished with the base.
Then, he walked to where the vegan girl (JustAlice) was sitting and talked in a low voice not to disturb the whole class.
"Uh, Rowan?" That was her name, right? "Add cocoon until the potion turns clear. I don't know how many it might take." He didn't even know if it would WORK. Quote:

CHECKPOINT: It should be completely clear like clean water
He took the boomslang skin and added it to his cauldron and set the timer he had so he would make sure not to be off at all on time. He looked around him at the potions brewing and looked back at the professor. He really hoped this went well. He loved doing potions but his mum always said he had to be very accurate and precise with them or there could be drastic changes to what he was brewing! He nearly jumped in his trainers when his timer went off and immediately added the larvae. His eyes went back to the potion and bit his lip. It had a faint colour! NO! He looked worried now and bit his lip. The professor said clear like water!
He'd done it precisely! He knew he did! He also had made sure to thoroughly clean it!
