In any case, and seeing as most of her friends had already found seats with someone else, she had nearly become resigned to holding her possible protest all by herself. Until she heard a voice coming from right next to her and turned to see a firstie Hufflepuff. “of course you can sit here,” she whispered, moving her things aside so the smaller girl could get settled.

Just in time for the lesson to start, apparently, and her grey-green eyes had gone back to the front in time to be able to totally tell that the professor intended on keeping an eye on her. At least she wasn’t verbally complaining. She wasn’t causing a scene, and she was waiting until she found out if she actually had a reason to refuse to brew the potion. Not that there were too many potions that she didn’t feel obligated to refuse to brew, even if there had been instances she was able to rationalize that she wasn’t actually hurting anyone in the brewing.

In any case, she started by making sure to copy down the information given about the potion they were going to be working on. The pumpkins definitely made sense now, and she hadn’t actually thought about the moths until she heard Derf ask about them. Were they having to kill live moths for the potion? She’d turned wide eyes, maybe even panicked ones, in the Hufflepuff prefect’s direction, but then the professor hadn’t even bothered to respond. She felt like that was kind of rude.

SPOILER!!: notes

Notes didn’t hurt anyone. Neither did pumpkin carving, because pumpkins didn’t look like people like mandrakes did, so it hadn’t bothered her one bit to slide her pumpkin closer to her and to point her wand at the top of it. Standing up to get the right angle, she traced a circle around the stem as she cast the severing charm. “Diffindo.” If anything, at least maybe she could make an awesome jack o’lantern by the time the lesson was over, because there still hadn’t been that answer about the moths. Setting the newly created lid off to the side carefully, she retrieved a metal spoon from her kit and quickly Scourgified it before using it to scoop out the stuff inside the pumpkin, making sure to get everything out just in case they actually were going to make jack o’lanterns later on. Or sooner, if she did end up having to stick to her principles and refuse to kill moths.

Delicately separating the seeds from the pulp, she set those aside before measuring out two cups of the pulp into a Scourgified measuring cup and dumping that into her, of course Scourgified, copper cauldron. Picking up her wand again, she cast Incendio on the burner, silently glad she’d been working on fire charms since first year as she adjusted the heat to medium, moments before she had to look up again. The instructions had said to add a cup of water, not that she’d done so yet, but it was there. So he’d told them to do that, and his telling Jessa otherwise was just contradictory. And confusing.

The girl nodded slightly listening to Professor Noble. She took an immediate dislike to him. It wasn't necessarily how he had addressed her... but the expression "miserably lot" certainly did not help her feelings of displacement, aggravated by the fact that the teacher kept looking over to the girl sitting next to her. She observed the girl with a look of amazement. What did she do...? She wondered, curiously.

She let out a loud relieved sigh upon reading the instructions. She knew diffindo, of course, Leonor used it all the time on her sewing endeavors. She had never seen anyone use it on a fruit, though... Without a second thought, and a terrible fear of failure, she wrote down the instructions on a small piece of parchment, as she didn't trust herself to memorize the recipe. Afterwards, hurriedly, Mara pointed her wand at the pumpkin and spoke clearly "Diffindo!"

Happy with the result, Mara scooped out the inside of the pumpkin and pulled out the seeds, which she placed on the cauldron. She repeated the process until she had the necessary amount of seeds.

SPOILER!!: Notes

She looked around at her classmates to see how everybody was doing. She was worried she would fall behind... The girl grabbed a cup of water and added it to the seeds, into the cauldron. Now she would only have to heat it up...
