Maddie nodded. "I'll let you know! I'm even surprising myself, though! This is one of the first potions I've ever brewed by myself," she said. She smiled at the older prefect then turned back to her potion. So where was she again? She'd just added the five fire seeds... That meant she was on the seventh step! Seven out of eleven wasn't really that bad, so she seriously might be able to finish this!

She turned toward the pure rock salt and counted out the fifteen pieces. She then began adding them to her cauldron one by one. "...twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen," she mumbled to herself. She stirred the solution counter-clockwise as she kept careful watch of the time. Five minutes and five minutes only! The potion was turning a really awesome shade of yellow, which excited Maddie. This was turning into an actual potion that might really work! She counted out five pieces of wiggentree bark and laid them out on the surface of the surface of the solution. Then she pushed them one by one to the inner wall of the cauldron. That part was kind of fun to watch happen!

With that done, she turned the heat back to medium then waited for things to come to a boil. Just a few more steps!
