Now that Azura had all of her ingredients together and her work station was exactly how she wanted it to be.. Mortar and Pestle were next to the burner, her wand was sitting at the top of the workstation, away from anything she could knock over. Knives were arranged neatly.. She was ready!
She took her cauldron and then gently grabbed her wand, and then moved it in an S pattern and said "Scourgify." She had never used the spell before, but she was carefully concentrating on it and had practiced the pronunciation in her head a few times.. and thankfully. The spell worked perfectly. Her cauldron was clean!
That done, and her Cauldron and wand were places carefully back on the table, it was time to prepare the ingredients for the potion, just like the Professor had said to do! She wasn't going to start with mashing the Hairy Fungus though, that looked easy. She was going to start with the Tortise shell, because that was going to take some time and then she could mash the easier stuff, when she got tired!
So she poured the shards of tortoise shell into her mortar and picked up her pestle and got to mashing.. Ack!! Pieces of Shell were flying everywhere and so she stopped what she was doing, gathered the wayward shells that had flown out scooped them carefully back into the mortar and started to mash them again! Carefully this time!!
Azura put her pestle down, carefully put her hair up into a bun and then started to mash the shells again.. She carefully moved her pestle around and around the mortar.. panting softly as she ground the shell into powder.. Her arm was tired.. but after a few minutes.. she had a powder..
A contented smile crossed her face as she carefully poured the powder back into a bowl, and then after Scourgifying her mortar and pestle, she dumped the Hairy Fungus into it and started mashing.. This was much easier and her arm was grateful for the respite!
Once she had gotten that into a nice mashed consistency.. She set that aside and took her knife..
She carefully (and possibly with a bit of a gag) Took the bat tongue and set it on her work space, she carefully cut it in half longways.. and then put the halves together and diced them.
She put them aside, and then started to slice the Caterpillars nice and thin..
She cleaned off her knife when she was done and sat back with a nod..
There! Her ingredient were ready! Now it was time to start brewing. |
