Yet hopefully Simon was there to save him from this problem. Yay! Listening to the instruction carefully the Gryffindor boy nodded and immediately started to work on the moonstone to crush it into powder. ''Easy thing'' he said as he powdered the stone.

And once the stone was now a powder, he added it into the potion and stirred it clockwise. Then, the boy took a moment to stare at Simon and then to the other students in the class. It looked like they were in the last steps of brewing the potion. He was behind everyone. So giving Simon one last look he grabbed all the ingredients on his desk and threw them all in the potion. ''Here! My job is done!''

"Look, Crocker," thankfully you needed a translator to fully understand the boy, and she did not catch that he's called her a house elf. "Let ME enlighten YOU. The correct form of addressing a young boy is 'Master.' You know what... Nevermind. Get back to your potion." She said shaking her head.



"Don't be sorry, you are doing fine." She said.



Was she serious? Had she not been in this class? Nevermind. Continue with this class... she thought to herself.



She glared at the girl. She took 100 points from Slytherin for disrespect, she wasn't above taking the same from gryffindor.



She smiled at the boy as he smashed the leech. Typical boy.



SPOILER!!: Where you were supposed to add the Knotgrass


ooc: Sorry, my fault, I guess I assumed you'd all READ MY MIND and knew that after running the knotgrass on your gloves you were supposed to drop it in the potion, cause it wasn't going to wilt too quickly. Sorry.


The color wasn't right. "You forgot the knotgrass, Miss Page." She said, "Thank you, now I can show how to fix this." and she took some more goat's milk. "Soak the knotgrass in the cold goat's milk for 2 minutes and then you can add it before the next step." She said and then addressed the class. "There aren't many potions or many ingredients that you can fix after the time to add them... this is one of the few. The knotgrass is coated, we aren't that far into the potion, and the cold goat's milk will help re-process everything." She turned to the girl and said "Do that and then the next step."

She summoned the next ingredient and placed it in her clean mortar. "Crush the bicorn horn, withdraw a tbs and add place it in a spoon. Come to me with the spoon and I will drop a phoenix tear on it, then go back to your cauldron and stir them in 15 times clockwise." She said and demonstrated.

At first, looking at his friends then looking down at the brass cauldron, the Gryffindor boy slowly realised what he had done as seconds passed. Now every single ingredient on the list was swimming in the goat's milk in his cauldron and he had no idea what this potion would be like in the end.

Now what was he supposed to do?

As the professor mentioned crushing the bicorn horn, Josh's dark brown gaze landed on the solid bicorn horn in his cauldron. Eh, there was nothing else to do other than mentioning it to the professor. Maybe there was a way to fix it. ''Erm professor!'' the Gryffindor stood up without hesitating ''I have already added the bicorn horn...well...actually...i have already added everything''
Simon was a little relieved to see that Josh was back on track as his companion started crushing the moonstone and putting it into the potion. However his attention was on his own careful work that he hadn't exactly noticed the 4th years later actions. He had just assumed as he heard things being added that it was Josh catching up.

He was about to start crushing the bicorn horn as directed when Josh spoke up beside him to get Lafay's attention. It was then that Simon looked over at his friend's cauldron and realised he hadn't caught up he had technically surpassed the class even though by the looks of it the ingrediants were far from prepared correctly.

"Josh....what did you do?" he asked slowly. He was a little afraid of what sor of answer his friend was gonna give to him or even get from the professor when she answered. But he didn't take into account what might happen to the potion itself if not prepared the exact way it should.
