It was so strange that potions had to be timed like this. Like really strange. Then again, apparently food was a bit like that, when you were cooking... he didn't cook, because on the rare occasion he was without a parent, there was always a ton of cereal in the house, but his mom cooked all the time. All of her recipes had very specific timing. He wasn't sure how good he would be at cooking... he would have to have so many timers. Cooking took much longer than this stuff did, sometimes.
Eight minutes finally passed, and his potion was a nice warm creamy colour now. Thank goodness, because he had a vested interest in this turning out right... he really wanted to see what he looked like when he was 25 or so. He had to see how much taller he would grow! The small boy bounced a little in his seat and reached to switch the burner off, carefully turning the cauldron away from it. Still had to keep stirring... but now he could add the caterpillar and bat tongue, yes? That was what the instructions said, right? Yes. Good.
He scooped up one bowl to dump it into the cauldron, then the next. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand stir stir stir stir stir. Five more minutes of it and then it would be DONE.
He counted down the minutes impatiently, watching the colour. Was it starting to go green? Maybe a little? His arm was getting worn out, Art. WORN OUT. Did he understand?! But Jaemin wouldn't stop stirring, because if he did then it would mess the whole thing up and that would be the worst.
five... four... three... two... DONE. He timed it down to the second, just in case, and plucked the stirrer out. Now he just had to wait for it to cool down and change into a pretty pretty green. He really liked the colour of this potion a lot. Hopefully it would taste as good as it was pretty...
Speaking of people trying their potions, it appeared that other students had already. There was a girl that looked super duper old how... and was that Hadley?! A teeny tiny Hadley Denaker?! Jaemin slipped out of his seat and sneaked a little closer, looking at her curiously.
"You're little," he whispered, almost gleefully. Cute little itty bitty Hadley! This was so cool! How had she done that?!
...hopefully his potion wouldn't do the same to him. |
