Shrivelfigs are messy, so dawn your gloves," she said putting her gloves on. "Squish them in your hands and try and get as much into the cauldron and off your gloves as you can." She said as she demonstrated. "After you are done with the figs, take the knotgrass and run it gently over your gloves. This will, one, help get the excess fig off and two, coat the knotgrass so it won't wilt too quickly in the potion." She then took off her gloves and cleaned them.

You can either concentrate on the lesson I am teaching, or the class can end without you having learned anything but the correct way of chopping knotgrass. No homework and without points for participation given. Well then? Shall I continue?"

If you do not care to learn," She motioned her wand and the door slammed open. She didn't say a word... but it was pretty obvious she meant to get out. She turned to the ravenclaw who spoke. "I will ask that question when we are finished with the potion." She said and then continued.
"NEXT INGREDIENT." She said and moved on. "You don't have to squeeze the juice out of the leeches, that's been done for you... but in case you ever have to." She took a leech in her bare hands, laid it on a cloth and rolled over it with a small rolling pin. She then pulled up the cloth and wrung it from top to bottom in a beaker. "That's how you do it. If you wish to try it... the leeches are in the jar behind me, the leech juice is over here, and you can take some with your dropper." She dropped the drop of leech juice in the cauldron... and then she dropped a crimson liquid in after it. "After the leech juice you add the five drops of pomegranate juice." The steam was now purple. "Notice the distinctive steam..."
Cass's eyes widened in horror at what the professor said, so to remedy her mistake,she pointed her wand at the knotgrass that was floating on the surface of her potion and whispered softly "Wingardium Leviosa". It was a good thing knotgrass hadn't been in there very long...
Then she snapped her gloves on and started to squish the 10 shrivelfigs and added them to her potion as she went. Then she took the knotgrass that she had placed to the side and collected 2 tablespoons into the potion, then she took her dropper and placed 1 drop of leech juice into her potion, before taking 5 drops of pomegranite juice and dropping it into the potion as well. Then she stood back and observed the steam that was coming out of her cauldron.
She hopped she did it right...she didn't want to get in trouble...
Then she took her quill and parchment and wrote down what she did.
