Char was pretty good at forgetting exactly what step she was up to when it came to potions, honestly. The mind wandered far too much. For EXAMPLE the instructions had more than one lot of three minutes. Luckily this time she happened to know it was only the first one just because she was dreading yet another three minute eternity of waiting. Potioneering was basically an eternity filled with eternities. But she WAS trying.
YES THREE MINUTES UP! THREE MI...... oh. A five second pause? And then MORE stirring? TWO more minutes? Stupid fives.
The glass stirrer clattered a few times on the edges of the cauldron and Char sighhhed her way through the remaining two minutes. As soon as it was up she put the stirrer aside with another clatter that made it sound like it wanted to break (but it wouldn't, it was too good quality for that), and up ended the container that had the 23 drops of Essence of Dittany into the cauldron. Pre-measured, again. Which was totally the best idea, right?
Seemed like a LOT of dittany though!
.......... and yet again. THREE MORE MINUTES.
Sighing, she started drawing a border around her notes.
