As she waited for her question to be answered, Esme decided to proceed with the next steps. There was a potential ethical dilemma here, but at the moment Rachel's health trumped that. If the Unicorns were harmed, she would feel bad about it and then refuse to use their ingredients in any other potion; they were sacred beings.

Picking up her clean spoon, she stirred the potion 1... 2... times clockwise before plunking in two mistletoe berries. Fortunately they didn't cause a splash because the possibility hadn't occurred to her until they had both fallen in. Would it even have mattered if they had? She had no idea... Shrugging it off, she continued with the last two steps.

Anti-clockwise was the same thing as counter-clockwise - something that she had learned a few terms ago from Professor Culloden - so that phrasing didn't confuse her in the least bit. Esme stirred 1... 2... times in the opposite direction of what she had done last time. Now she just needed to wait for at least two minutes and everything would be finished. Assuming that it was better to wait for longer, she left it for a total of FIVE.

"Okay, I think it's ready!" she said at last. Now they just needed to wait for rat man to give the say so and Rachel could drink it.

SPOILER!!: Esme's Notes
