But she didn't have time to disagree with the potion master because it's brewing time! Finishing writing the recipe and instruction, Ava then made sure that she had tied her hair, worn the lab coat, put on her gloves and goggles, and then took her brass cauldron and cleaned it with the scouring charm. She also cast the charm to every tools that she's going to use today: phial, stirrer, scales, knife, everything. Once all of them were cleaned, the Gryffindor then added 50 ml distilled water to the cauldron, set the flame in medium heat and boiled it. Then she used a clean silver dagger to chop the stargrass and measured 32 grams of it before adding them into the water.
Moving on to the next step... The boom berry juice. Ava measured 302 ml of it and added the juice into the cauldron. Then with a cleaned glass stirrer, she stirred the mixture for three minutes in counter-clockwise motion. As the instruction had said, she paused for five seconds and continued the stirring it for 2 minutes. Removing the stirrer, she then added 23 drops of Essence of Dittany into the solution. Now she needed to wait for 3 minutes and then put the flame into low. And next, Ava waited again for two minutes before adding the fireseeds. In the meantime, she put on her dragon-hide gloves and once two minutes had passed, she slowly added the fireseeds into the cauldron. So the next step should be... the rock salts. Carefully Ava added the rock salts one by one and then stirred the solution in counter-clockwise motion for minutes until the color turned primrose yellow. She read her note again and realized something's missing. "Uh, Professor? When will we add the antimony?" She put her hand up and asked the potion master.
River had been zig-zagging his way around the room, correcting and helping those who got his attention. There was of course, the occasional tuts whenever he caught students being careless. Again, they were supposed to be responsible with their actions, and if things went kaboom-- not his fault. Instructions had been very clear, yes?
Also, River squinted at Mr Blaze. The Healer rolled his eyes, and moved on. He had it coming, did he know?
And then there was the question. A very good observation in fact. So someone was actually paying attention? Good!
"Ah, yes. The Antimony is what makes this potion Hospital Grade. SO, with that in mind, you have to add it after bottling it. No need to add it on the dreg version." River was mightily impressed by this. Yes.
And since some of them were already done, River began to hand them out the liquefied antimony and watched them add it to their bottled solutions.
OOC: My internet has gone from worst to NONE EXISTENT. It's been really wonky the last two weeks, so apologies to all who were waiting on River. ANYWAY. If you're done, you can RP getting the Antimony from River and adding it to your finished product. You have 3 hours left before I close this thread. THANK YOU!
