It wouldn't be long before they had a counter full of tasty popcorn balls.

Shay checked her watch and realized that the five minutes were almost up. Jessa called time just as Shay's watch hit the five minute mark. "Finite", she said, ending the spell. When Jessa suggested that Shay pour the mixture over the popcorn, the sixth year nodded. She picked up the bowl that had been pushed toward her and positioned it over the popcorn bowl. "I'm going to pour it now. You can go ahead and start to stir. That way it should get mixed together pretty well." With that, Shay began to pour the buttery, sugary goodness over the popcorn.

Once Shay had emptied the bowl and resisted the urge to stick her finger in the remnants for a quick taste, she took some of the extra butter and covered her hands with it. Now she was ready to make some popcorn balls . As soon as Jessa was finished mixing the ingredients, she would dive in and get started. Shay set the remaining butter close to her partner so she could butter up when she was finished. "Once you get your hands buttered we can start making the popcorn into balls.". Time to get messy.


Ugh, she was getting hungry just looking at the sweet mixture being poured. It was a good thing they'd be able to eat these afterwards because otherwise it'd be plain torture.

Wooden spoon still in hand, Jessa dipped it into the bowl while Shay poured, being sure to have the popcorn mixed in properly. The Professor didn't say how long it would need to be but she supposed once it looked mixed enough the job was done. Right now, it was looking pretty mixed to her.

"Right, the butter!" With this done, the young girl lowered the spoon and reached over to get her hands buttered as the older girl had done. She didn't typically like having butter or any such things that made everything more slippery on her hands but slippery was apparently the point here. "Okay, done, we can start making 'em now." She herself dipped her hand into the bowl of sticky popcorn. "I think if we size 'em right, we should be able to pull 14 so...7 each?"

Jessa took a small handful and began molding it. Over and over she grabbed little handfuls, shaping them into the same ball shape. All of them ended up around the same size and while she wasn't the fastest worker, she took great care in everything she was doing. "I can't wait to eat these." She confessed with a chuckle.

At the end of her 7, Jessa looked over at Shay. "Ready for us to do the cooling charm?"

SPOILER!!: Recipe
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unpopped popcorn
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!
