 Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo ❄ rolling in the ink ❄
Cat smiled juuuust a little at Professor Cox's response to her answer. The good feelings, however, were short lived due to the transition to more note-taking, then instruction-giving, and then... then Cat had to do the actual brewing of the potion. And that wasn't the problem. Truly, it wasn't. The problem was in the getting started, as always.
She took meticulous care in retrieving her ingredients when there was no line, then in getting them set up and prepared for preparation. She didn't trust her wandwork yet (especially in this class), so she added the distilled water in lieu of aguamenti. While the water was heating, she moved on to preparing the next few ingredients, dicing and crushing as instructed (she knows, because she checked the instructions no less than six times to make sure she was doing the right action to the correct ingredient.
And everything was all well and good until she got to the part where she added the mushroom tops. The... unusual color of the potion caught her eye and she leaned over her cauldron a bit, eyes widening. The instructions said yellow or white...
Sitting back, she raised her hand. "Professor," her gaze flickered to her potion then back at the adult. "How, um, yellow should the vapors be?" Because it wasn't exactly sunflower or anything. If she squinted, she could maybe label it moldy lemon.
