EIGHT MINUTES!

Rooney gave himself a mental clap on the back as he moved onto the next part of this circus...taking his cauldron off of the heat. In fact, he put out the flames and then put his hand in the area to uh...check that there was no imminent danger. No burns, either. Because he didn't TOUCH anything. He was honestly smarter than that. Not smart enough to avoid putting his life on the line by swinging from a wire on stage...but smart enough to avoid burns on his hands that would prevent him from that exact swinging required for a Tarzan role.

Now, he wasn't sure whether to add the caterpillar or the bat tongue first, but decided to stick with the order given in the instructions both on the blackboard and Professor Newton's voice over. In went the caterpillar, all five grams of it..followed by the bat tongue. Roo honestly couldn't get around the idea of someone using his tongue in a potion... It was such a weird thing. Had anyone inspected their tongue? The bumps on it? The colour? Rooney had. He had looked right up close in his preparation for his first kiss with Miss Charlotte. Not the nose kiss. Because his mouth hadn't been involved in that as much...

Still.. His tongue was not able to be a potions ingredient.

He continued to stir clockwise, only pausing to swap his hands over as the left one was getting complete and utter cramp. Honestly... Why was there so much stirring involved and why hadn't anyone taught him how to get his spoon to stir itself. He did write that down on his notebook as 'further learning'. As a green colour crept into his potion alongside the cream, Roo finally gave up on the stirring as required and began to stretch out his fingers.

More swinging workout. Fingers and wrist and elbows and shoulders. It really was a tiring experience.

Now he waiiiiiiited some more.
