Hmm…
Well, it looked real enough. Then again, Evelyn had never seen an actual phoenix tear in her life! This could have been a fake. Lafay fooled all of them!
Or maybe it was real.
Whatever. The Slytherin didn’t really care, even though it the debate about it had been rather interesting earlier in the lesson.
"Thank you." She muttered, keeping her eyes on the spoon. In case it was real, she didn’t want to drop any of it, because that would be an utter fail and a mess up. Pfft. Messing up on a potion…never!
Putting the spoon into the mix in her cauldron, she counted fifteen stirs clockwise as her eyes flickered over to Purple Head, seeing what he was up to.

After the fifteen stirs clockwise, she took her silver knife again and pulled the daisy root closer before cleaning her knife quickly. Evelyn really didn’t mind the cleanliness, since she was a rather clean person herself, but making sure to do so in case the Professor decided that you weren’t and evanesco’d your potion? It was getting rather irritating!
Crushing the root with the handle of the silver knife, she chopped it after a moment or so and dropped the pieces into the cauldron. Wooaah, when was the last time she took notes?!
Placing her knife down, the Slytherin quickly scribbled in her notebook the steps taken, and once again…eyes flickered over to the young Ravenclaw. Wasn’t knocking anymore cauldrons on people’s head was he?

You will notice the sprigs are both disintegrating into the potion... Then take the peppermint toads, and chocolate frog and put them in the mixture, using the liquorish wand to stir it." She said demonstrating. "And... the liquorish wand will melt inside. Lower the flame." She said and sent a bottle at each table. "Today I want to see you funnel your potion in a bottle and cork it. You should have a funnel in your potions kit. MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAN!" She said.
Gloves and goggles?
Pffft. Sighing, she put her gloves back on and her stylish goggles, which looked more like scientific clear thick sunglasses before adding the fluxweed into the mixture.
One counter-clockwise…
Three clockwise….
And time for the candy to DISAPPEAR! Hopefully Destiny didn’t eat hers already. It was a shame they had to put peppermint toads in the potion. It was the only really chocolate thing she’d eat, and she wouldn’t be able to eat it! Dang.
Placing both the peppermint toads and chocolate frog into the mixture, Evelyn picked up the
disgusting licorice wand and started to stir it. Wasn’t the wand going to melt- Oh. Right. It was. Nodding slightly, almost like a zombie state, the fourth year reluctantly lowered the flame under the cauldron before glancing to the bottle landing on the table.
They had to what? Funnel and cork it. Eh…

Funnel and cork.
Cleaning the funnel (and making sure the bottle was clean too), she set it in the top of the bottle before pouring the potion into the bottle, making sure not to have the thing tip over as she did so.
Wobble...
Quiver...
Tiiiiiippp….
EEP! Saved by the last second. Of course her cauldron made a nice THUD on the table, but at least she saved the bottle, the potion, and therefore…her grade. Eesh. Corking the top of the bottle, Evelyn stood up and moved to the front desk where Lafay was at, snickering along the way as Purple Head had to pick up leeches.
Now, potion…put…into…BOX…and now she was done! Moving back to her table, she turned the flame off and finished the rest of her notes before glancing around. Or more importantly, making sure Purple Head was picking up those leeches. She didn’t want to see any being flung to her side either.
