"OHMYGOSH, Owen...I'm so sorry," she squeaked, getting her wand out and...well...apparently using her bread and butter spell of today's lesson which ironically had nothing to do with the brew itself. She could ignore the mild burns to her ankles for now, her knee socks had given enough of a shield against the boiling liquid at least, and quickly began to remove the liquid from the floor. "You didn't get hurt, did you?" No...burns from toppled over cauldron and splashed liquid, right? "I'm really sorry..."

This was why Paige Samantha Skeeter should be taking Potions as an independent study. Honestly.
Well, Owen seemed to be more fortunate than the fellow Hufflepuff who knocked over his cauldron. He managed to got out clean and free of injuries, while she probably had hurting knees and who knew what else. And now she was helping him clean up the mess of what used to be the base of his brew. "Nah, it's okay. I'm alright. But your knees..." He mumbled off. He was going his company to their School Healer but she was claiming to Professor Newton that it was just a bruise. Maybe she didn't want anyone fussing over her right now. Owen made it a mental note to approach her after class and force suggest that she visit the hospital wing.

For now, the 4th year Hufflepuff focused back on finishing up his potion. He made another silent run-through through the recipe and began brewing.

After measuring the amount of water, Owen poured it into the cauldron and incendio'd it to a light simmer. The alihotsy leaves followed shortly.

This was kind of the part he was doing when the pixies arrived. Owen hoped and prayed and hoped that they were not coming back again to make a chaos of his potion or he was really going to get mad...truly.

As he waited, he prepared everything else and made sure all the ingredients were of the necessary amount so mixing them all in later would be a breeze.

About twenty minutes after, he leaned over his cauldron and strained the all bits and pieces and remains of the alihotsy leaves.

Back to boiling!

Billywig stings and erumpent tongue in, Owen grabbed the ladle and began what sounded like a very exhausting ten-minute counterclockwise stirring. Five minutes into that task, he just HAD TO transfer the ladle to his other hand. Man, that was really tiring.

He was able to rest his now starting to sore arm muscles - yes, he had some - as he allowed the brew to cool, every now and then dipping the thermometer into it until it reached the desired temperature. Armadillo bile added in, Owen stirred it again five times counterclockwise. Next he added in the leech juice. So. Much. Stirring. By now, Owen's potion was light brown in color. As it should be. The badger stepped back for a bit, grinning. He was already halfway through.

Back to boiling again!
