But before she could linger on it, he was speaking again, bringing them back to what they were supposed to be doing within their group.

Separate the eggs.

Yeah, that sounded about right for their first step to their task. And Olivia apparently had an idea how to do it, outside when the professor had shown, causing Cassie to raise a slight eyebrow in curiosity. Especially when she pulled out a plastic bottle for some reason. “If you say so…” she mused, willing to let her have a shot as she watched with interest to see what was going to happen. Or at the very least figure out what was supposed to happen.

Three broken eggs later, the Gryffindor was separating the egg parts by a sort of suction. “Cool!” Definitely another way to do what they needed to do. “I think you have a good idea,” she answered, grabbing a bowl and an egg for herself. Carefully she broke the egg, deliberately emulating how she had seen her mom do and how she herself had done once maybe twice. Luckily it didn’t break so she turned to Olivia again with interest. “Mind if I try?” she asked, since it was the other girl’s bottle and idea after all.

"Yes, of course!" Pleased that her new Ravenclaw friend wanted to attempt her method, Liv handed over the bottle... almost eagerly. It had worked much better than she thought it would, being that this was her first time experimenting with it, but YAY! "We don't eat the yolks at my house." A fun fact, or whatever... just because Liv liked to talk and stuff. That was probably an overshare... but oh well!

Shifting her focus towards getting the water ready, she lifted the kettle and poured until the bowl was moderately full. It had to be able to hold two eggs, right?... Or had she understood that wrong? Eh, either way. It was full enough for two, at least. Now for the eggs... Just as a note, this was the weirdest thing she'd done in a while. And that was really saying something as Olivia had been known to get down with the weird. Unashamedly so. But we digress.

Lifting the bowl with her egg whites (two of them as she'd quickly sorted out another), she positioned the lip of it over her steaming water, carefully pouring out the contents. It took real concentration as sometimes liquids could be unpredictable, but she eventually got the whites into the water. This might not've seemed like a huge deal to most, but she felt accomplished in her own right. And that was her right! Mhm!

Hmmm.

Watching the eggy substance shift and move around (even in hot water) was... odd. It LOOKED kinda like snot? And if it was supposed to be taking shape, how would she be able to tell what sort of shape it was? There were literally SO MANY different ones... Eh, getting down on eye level with the clear bowl, so she could in on it at a less awkward angle, she DID note that... it sorta resembled a flower. Well, one did. A flower... and a feather? This was a stretch, at best, but it was much better than writing down that it all appeared to be snot to her.

Welp. Pulling out her book she went about looking up those two shapes.
