Turning back to Wesley, he smiled. "Yep, we add them and then let the water boil." Tibi scooped out the crushed fluxweed and added it to the warm water. The directions didn't say stir, so he didn't, but he wondered if they'd mix all the way through.
But he needn't have worried about that because as it began to boil, the rolling water seemed to mix itself together a little as the bits flipped in the liquid.
Again picking up his quill, Tibi scratched off the first two steps. [/COLOR]
Remembering, suddenly, as he felt his hands get sticky sweaty, that he wasn't wearing his gloves, Tibi slipped them on hastily. He wasn't sure what any of this stuff would do to his skin.
"Um," Tibi looked at the directions, and then back up at Wesley. "It says pollen's next." Tibi picked up the 2 drams of pollen and dropped them into the bubbling water. Picking up the stirrer, he stuck it in the cauldron and began to stir. He would keep stirring until the pollen dissolved, the watery mix no longer a roaring boil.
"Lemme know when it turns golden. And then you can do the clockwise and counter-clockwise stirring.. thing." Tibi sighed a little, stirring, his arm a little sore already. It was, though, remarkably easier to do this when he could think straight.
Stupid poison. Kid was never gonna get over that.
Biting her lip, Wesley watched the solution warily as it began to bubble after Tiberius added the fluxweed. The potion looked angry. But it was supposed to be that way, so that was good.
She sat quietly as Tiberius went to add the pollen, just observing.
Stir. Stir. Stir. OH WAIT! Eyes wide, the Hufflepuff opened her mouth in silent shock. She had forgotten to put on gloves! That didn't mean she was going to die, did it? Looking at Professor Kazimirez and hoping he hadn't noticed, Wesley ducked down, reaching inside her bag and pulling on the safety gear.
They where kinda sticky from her last time using them, and she couldn't seem to get them- Oh! Tiberius was saying something, and Wesley sat up, bumping her head against the table.
"Ouch!" She rubbed her head with one-half pulled on glove, staring at him in confusion because she hadn't heard the last part. So she looked at his list, and then the potion, which was turning a very lovely golden color. It reminded her of butterbeer.
"That's pretty," she said, turning to look at the list once more.
After it turns golden you have to stir...Tiberius's doing that...so then I should...wait-bloodroot? Lionfish heart? Suddenly the potion wasn't looking so nice anymore. Wesley glanced at the knife waiting to be put to use, then looked at her partner.
"Ummm...Tiberius, you look kinda sore, so I'll stir, and maybe you can cut up the bloodroot and lionfish heart?" she suggested.
Reaching for the spoon, the Hufflepuff stirred very, very slowly.
Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Lost in the peaceful lull of mixing, Wesley pulled her hand back in surprise as it began to boil again.
So now they had to...wait five minutes. Keeping her eye on the clock, she began to time. The second hand moved fast, and before Wesley knew it the waiting was over.
"R-ready?"
