Kay smiled a sort of half smile and wrote the instructions down in her notebook. Then, she took out her potions ingredients. She brought her half full caulron of water to a boil by putting a fire from her wand under it. Next, seh turned to her table from at which she started chopping up the ginger roots. When they were a fine powder, she sprinkled them into the boiling water. Eyeing the potion carefully with her pale blue eyes, she noticed it turn from clear water to a murky grey. Next, she measured out 4 ml of Glumbumble secretery fluid and added it to the potion evenly, like the instructions said. Taking out her wand, she stirred 5 times clockwise and 3 times counterclockwise. After adding 2 leaves of hellebore and 25 grams of grounded caterpillar, she stirred 2 times clockwise and 2 times counterclockwise. Finally, she lowered the heat under her cauldron and waited for the 20 minutes to end.
As she waited for the next instructions, she thought about what she keep as her most precious possesion. She was pretty sure it would be her mothers ribbon. Kay felt through her pockets until she found the lump that was that very ribbon in her front left pocket, and rested her hand on it.
