Woooooooooow, Anna really wasn't up for this class at all. She did place her quill on the parchment and stared at the professor with the blankest expression she could muster just so she wouldn't give him a defiant look for telling her what to do with her quill. Really? They were being micromanaged now on quill holding? Mer-lin.

The third year decided not to take any notes because all of that information was bound to be in their textbook anyway ~~not that she was going to read it unless she really had to, but still~~.

It wasn't like she was making a point or anything, but the Gryffindor was going about slower than normal because this was Potions... it only lost to History of Magic in the boring class rating. And the whole cleanliness thing... that was getting ooold.

Her hair was already up in a ponytail, so she only had to roll up her sleeves and wash her hands. And... wipe her bench with ethanol while looking bored out of her brains. The lesson had barely started and she was already wishing she was outside doing ANYTHING but this. Merlin help her.

Again, she didn't take any notes about the ingredients because she trusted it was all in the textbook. So as soon as her workstation was clean, Anna went to put away the ethanol bottle and collect the necessary ingredients. Bringing them over to where she was working, she nearly missed the next instructions, but managed to Scourgify and use Incendio Tria in her cauldron ONLY because Incendio was actually one of her favourite types of spells.

The other set of instructions felt really Muggle to her, which wasn't really a problem as she was used to all things Muggle. But it did feel strange doing all of those things at Hogwarts. Anna wasn't going to complain or even say anything about it because she didn't want to deal with any fuss at the moment. She just wanted the lesson to be oveeeeeeer so she could enjoy herself. If only the lesson would speed up if she brewed everything quicker, but alas.

Maybe for that very reason Anna chose to continue in her slightly-slower-than-everyone-else pace, because eh. The 500ml of water was added, as was the 500ml of horklump juice and she was about to toss the larvae when she saw some classmates heating up their cauldrons first. She doubled checked the instructions and let out a "Oh" before starting the fire underneath her own cauldron and waiting for it all to boil.

One... two... three... She finally started adding the larvae once the whole thing was bubbling. Anna being Anna and also being super bored right now, she was adding them by slightly tossing them in the air and watching them plop into the mix. HOWEVER, she knew professor Noble enough to not make a massive scene of this and the tossing in the air was simply from below the rim level from the outer side of the cauldron and up and over the rim itself. Then plop! into the mix they went. NOT CAUSING ANY SPLASH, CHILL EVERYONE! Not that she thought people were going to freak out or anything, but who knew.

It was only then that she realised she had forgotten the flobberworm mucus. Welp. Without looking up or giving anyone any kind of acknowledgement or letting anything suspicious give her away, she simply added the 5 drops of flobberworm mucus there and then.

As she sterilised the other equipment on the fire, Anna's thoughts were fixed on the fire she was watching. Beautiful, beautiful fire. It was amazing how it sterilised things like that, but the most fascinating thing about it was that it could both do good and harm. So interesting! She probably spent a lot longer than she needed moving her knife and stirrer on the fire, and she totally missed what professor Noble had said about how to proceed with the next set of instructions. All she could do now was to read what he had written on the board and hope for the best.

She had dealt with rosemary before, though, and she knew how to pull the leaves out without watching the demonstration. She was about to add them to her cauldron, her hand holding the leaves right above it when her gaze went back to the board and she read the rosemary leaves had to be finely chopped. "Oops!" She exclaimed, pulling her hand back and watching a tiny leaf or two dive into the Potion. Nothing to see here! The Gryffindor chopped the rosemary leaves somewhat finely and put them on a tablespoon before finally dropping the ingredient into the mix as a whole. Sprinkle who? Never mind!

Anna stirred the Potion once clockwise and THEN she realised it was TWICE, so she did a second clockwise stir. Merlin, she did need to focus a bit more, even she was aware of that. But eh, effort.

To be honest, at this point she was slightly behind everyone and had to keep reading the instructions to know what to do next. But that wasn't a problem, the instructions should be good enough to guide her.

She sliced the murtlap tentacles lengthways and stared at the instructions board for a few seconds wondering what on earth the next bit meant. Shrugging, Anna sprinkled the 10 drops of honeywater all over the tentacles and added them to her cauldron. That was probably what they were meant to do anyway.

The 5 drops of tea tree oil were added effortlessly, as it seemed to be one of the easiest steps so far.
