 A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Entering the room, Lyra noticed that she wasn't the first one.
Seeing a Gryffindor who had already put on his gloves and was now almost jumping to get started, and a Ravenclaw, the same one that had entered the observatory Slytherin's dormitory.
'ironic' she thought and wanted to say Hi to them. She had opened her mouth but then her eyes saw the sign with 'No talking!' on it and she quickly closed it, instead she gave a small nodd towards them and smiled at the professor while sitting down on a chair, and looked at the ingredients on the table. Looking up again to read the Board for instructions and read that you needed gloves. 'figures' she thought and grabbed her bag, pulled out her gloves and put them on.
Looking around quickly she noticed Grace's grin and grinned back at her and turned back around.
Letting out a deep Siiiiigh, Lyra grabbed the goggles and placed it over her eyes , she glanced at the board at the front of the class to read the first instruction.
Looking at the table again she grabbed a garbage bag, cut it open , placed the mixing bowl in front of her and used the bag to line the bowl. '
Ok, this was going good... she hoped, and started to read the second rule.
'Water in the bowl?' uuuh ok... she scanned the table looking for water 'where is it?...oh there!' she thought but finally found the water and poured it in the bowl.
Next Lyra grabbed the spoonful sand (cause dirt is yucky) and placed it in the bowl , she grabbed the wooden spoon and started to stir.
Lyra carefully read the fourth instruction, add a dash of ammonia.
She grabbed the ammonia and covered her nose with her hand, Merlins beard! that smelled aweful! . trying not to puke (or faint..) she did a dash in it.
after reading step five she grabbed the syrup and placed a dash of it in the bowl too.
Grabbing the three garbage bags for step 6 she grabbed the dry ice and placed them in it (she already had the gloves on at the beginning of the lesson)
7! the FUN part!! Lyra was hoping to get to this part soon! , grabbing the hammer at the left side of the table she started to SMASH! SMASH SMASH! oooh yea Lyra deffinetly enjoined this part, it was like smashing stress away with each blow , she kept on smashing the dry-ice till it was in tiny pieces.
Reading the next instruction, a little dissapointed the Smashing! was over so quickly, she grabbed the wooden spoon and started to stir the insides of the bowl, while stiring she grabbed the dry-ice using her gloves and dropped it in the bowl carefully .
she kept stirring and stirring and stirring, (till her hand started to get tired) and watched as the mixure started to froze.
Lyra pulled out the frozen...comet and started to shape it into a ball.
Smiling to herself she carefully wrapped off the plastic bag and the comet didn't fall apart! Yay! Reading the last of the instructions she grabbed the paper plate , placed her ball on it and waited.
