Woo hoo! The last ingredient then it would be all over. Emmalyn carefully counted out her ten seeds and placed them near her cauldron. She picked up her spoon and gently dropped the first seed in. Next, she stirred counterclockwise once before dropping the next seed in. She repeated this pattern until all of her seeds were properly added to the potion. Finally, she turned off the heat and filled a medium sized vile of her potion that was marked with her name and house.

Upon completion, Emmalyn noted that her potion wasn’t quite the correct shade of orange. It was orange, but much lighter than pumpkin orange. For as much trouble as she had experienced during the class, she was thrilled with the outcome.

Then it was time for cleanup. Thankfully, she had been cleaning up as she worked. At least she started right after Daisy reminded her and she would have to thank Daisy for the reminder. With her workstation spotless, she patiently waited for class to be dismissed.
