There hadn’t been any criticism yet, of her potion or anyone else’s really, which kind of set Brooklyn on edge. Not that she expected criticism of her skills. She knew quite well she was capable of brewing a potion, but the fact nobody really had seemed to mess up spectacularly yet just made her wonder when it would happen. It always happened, and she always tried to make sure she was as far away from it as possible.
In the meantime, the instructions had continued, so she wrote them down in her potions journal after what she’d already done. Everything just as it had been written down on the blackboard, so she wouldn’t miss a step. She certainly wasn’t going to be the one to mess up now. Sliding her knife back over to herself, she Scourgified it again before using it to slice the fluxweed into three pieces before she scooped them up and added them to her potion. That was simple enough, as was cleaning a wooden stick to stir with. Lowering it into the potion once it was properly Scourgified, she stirred once clockwise, then once counter-clockwise. One. Two. Now she had to repeat that seven more times. Once clockwise, once the opposite direction, seven more times until she was at fourteen stirs. She did so deliberately, just so she knew she didn’t miss any circles, then she glanced back at her notes. Her potion definitely looked muddy. Kind of disgusting, really, but that wasn’t going to last.
Locating the boomslang skin, she added two to the potion before looking at the clock. Okay. Five minutes, she thought, settling back into her seat before she decided to count out her larvae. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Unfortunately that hardly took up a minute, so she ended up doodling on a spare piece of parchment for the remaining time. Soon enough, though, five minutes was up, and she sat up again to add the larvae. One at a time, since there hadn’t been any specific instruction not to. Besides, that made it a lot easier to watch the color of her potion as it gradually lightened with each larva. By the time she got to ten, it was nearly clear, but she kept watching it for a few seconds later just in case. Yep, she thought with a grin. It was definitely clear now. Now all she had to do was decide what she wanted it to do. That and wait for the instructions as to if she was supposed to actually pick an emotion yet or not.
