Haw-Haw!
Ronan wanted to let one of those out right now, as the sleeping Slytherin had woken up without noticing he had cat-face. But that would give it away and besides, it wouldn't be very mature. So he just went back to focusing on the task at hand: brewing the potion.
He still had on his gear, having worn it to gather his ingredients, so he measured out 50ml of the provided distilled water and poured it into his cauldron. Next, he used Incendio to light the fire under his cauldron, making sure the heat was a medium-high one. While waiting for the water to boil, he chopped the stargrass, making sure the chop was fine and that none of his fingers got in the way by holding the silver dagger with fingers curled under, as one would do if one was chopping herbs in the kitchen (a little something he learned from watching t.v.).
Once that was done and the water was boiling, he tossed in the stargrass and added the boom berry juice, trying to keep his face as far from the heat as possible. Wouldn't do to get sweat in his potion, after all. Not that that was a possibility, since his shirtless status under his lab coat was working to help keep him cool. Hmm, maybe he wouldn't be getting his cousin back for this after all...
Anyway, no time to think about that, he had stirring to do. Grabbing the glass stirrer and plopping it into his cauldron, he stirred counter-clockwise for three minutes, paused for five seconds, then continued stirring in the same counter-clockwise direction for two more minutes. That done, he removed the stirrer from his cauldron.
What next?
Oh, the Essance of Dittany. He opened the bottle and, using the provided dropper, carefully added twenty-three drops to his potion. And now we wait.
