Looking up from her work when she heard the professor talking she was surprised, she didn’t had heard him coming! Her eyes quickly darted down toward her pocket where Vlam still moved restlessly and she nodded while pulling her rat out of his hiding place.
“Yes, I think that he will like that” spoke Leesha happily because that way her rat would have some time to play while she was working on her potion. But before she handled her rat over to the professor she looked stern at the small animal.
“Don’t bite in his fingers or there will be no cheese for you tonight” she warned, knowing how her rat could misbehave if he wanted to. Vlam looked in a lot ways like Leesha and she knew it so she was very carefully with her warning.
“Thank you professor” she spoke while she handled her rat over to the teacher, watching closely if her rat really wasn’t going to bite, just because he could.
Looking back at her potion a few minutes later she started to work again while becoming more and more convinced that this potion actually was going to be a good one! Up until now she didn’t had made any major mistakes so that was good, really good! Adding leech juice to the potion she quickly stirred the way she was supposed to, one, two… five… nineteen… twenty times counter-clockwise. While she was stirring the potion she looked intently at her potion and she started to frown, was the potion supposed to have this color? The potion seemed to be slightly brown but it was more orange than brown to be honest and she wasn’t sure if that was a good thing. It was slightly brown but… Not completely brown!
While waiting for the potion to start bowling again she shook her head, wanting to know if she still was doing the right thing and she raised her hand to get the professor’s attention.
“Professor, is the potion having the right color right now? It’s a little brown but orange too” she spoke worriedly.
