There was a lot to remember and she certainly didn't want to mess up some perfectly good popcorn balls.

Now all Shay needed was a partner. Unfortunately, she had taken a little too long writing. Many of the students had already paired up. Noelle and Ava were working together. So they were not options. Then Shay heard a voice asking for a partner. Seeing the younger Ravenclaw (Jessa) who made the request, she approached her. "Hi, I'm Shay. Do you want to be partners?" Hopefully the Claw wouldn't mind working with her.

As it turned out, Jessa wouldn't be needing to find a corner for her work afterall. Just as she'd gotten the last of her things and headed back to her seat, there was a partner there waiting for her. "I know." She replied, setting the things down. "We've got classes together." By means of an explanation for her earlier statement. In her experience, most older students didn't tend to notice their younger counterparts. It was ironic given how keenly attuned to the younger ones seemed to be. She herself was well aware of the others in her classes, older and younger but that was because she was always making a conscious effort to know everything happening around her--including the people.

"We can be partners, I don't mind at all." Jessa poured the unpopped popcorn into the bowl she'd collected before sliding it over to her.

"Wanna do the heating charm? The Professor says we gotta take turns doing the spells." Which.....did he mean each did one spell or they both took turns doing the same spell each time or.......? Hopefully the older girl would know. At this point Jessa was fine with following her lead for the less clear parts. The Ravenclaw glanced down at the instructions she'd scribbled down, trying to see if there was anything she could do in the mean time.

"Looks like we'll both need to be hands on for the next part so....hmmmm." How to split this....? Maybe she would just....do this....then have Shay do the charm on the butter next. That was alternating....right? "On second thought...." She pulled the bowl back toward her. "I'll do the first bit..." Drawing her wand, Jessa made out the shape of a flame as the Professor had instructed. "Calefacio!" It took a few movements of moving the wand over the pop corn before she realized the spell was in fact....ineffective. Huh. "Calefacio!" Again she did the flame movement and shifted her wand across the pop corn. When nothing happened a second time, the Ravenclaw took a deep breath, willing herself not to become frustrated. Sometimes new spells just took time.

"Calefacio!" NOW we're talking! Jessa watched the corn pop to life, revealing the white, puffy insides. Finally. Thank Merlin.

She grabbed the second bowl and dropped the butter in it. "You can melt the butter with the same charm. It says here.....you gotta do it evenly for 5 minutes while I add the other things." Yeah, best let the older student be the one to cast the spell for longer. Five minutes was a lot to keep up with and she could hardly get the spell going just now!

SPOILER!!: Recipe

SPOILER!!: Recipe Ingredients 2 cups unpopped popcorn 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup molasses 1/2 teaspoon salt Directions ~~Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).~~ In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired. Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy! __________________ Imma say all the words inside my head____________________________________ ______________________________I'm fired up and tired of the way that things are said.
