Text Cut: Marisol and Trent

She'd deal with that later. Right now, she must continue her potion as not to screw up. She saw other students add the bloods, so that was what she did. Maybe a little too fast, because her potion smelled weird now, even with the pomegranate. The eleven year-old quickly put in her griffin claw. It helped a bit, but Marisol covered her nose with her robes anyway.

...maybe this time, there wouldn't be any prob -

Nope, there was one, right there. Looking all disgusted and, good gracious, covering her nose.

"Are there any problems?" Since his nose was pretty much insensitive to the odour in the room. This was his profession, after all. And he also didn't look at her cauldron. He wanted HER to speak.

With a appreciate nod at the Professor who was suddenly at his side, Trent swallowed the lump in his throat before speaking. "I can look away while you add in the blood, sir, and probably just get started on crushing the griffin claw." Just so he wasn't entirely useless throughout the process. He grabbed the mortar and pestle, ready to do the deed. Yet before he actually began pulverizing the claw, Trent cocked his head at the Professor and said, "Thank you for the help, Professor." His respect for the man had definitely just turned up more than a few more notches.

Breathing easier now because he wouldn't have to deal with the b-word, the Ravenclaw commenced crushing the griffin claw.

Well, y'know, Cosgrach could do that for a student, especially since he'd shared his phobia with him and not with another student. He was wise enough to differentiate between 'need' and 'being spoilt' anyway, so it was no problem. The professor checked his watch (figured the kid was too nervous to remember that) and lowered the heat to medium. Walking to his desk with the boy's cup, he scourgified it and got some diluted Re'em blood. Then he returned, scourgified the bowl and metal spoon, and mixed the two type of bloods inside the bowl - turning his back to the boy in case he forgot and looked at him or something. With the spoon, he first stirred five times clockwise, and then five times counter clockwise. After that, with his back still to the kid, he eyed the arms of his watch to mark the five minutes.

"Get ready," he called to the boy, much calmer now, "because you must add the claw immediately after me." And also for, y'know, he was turning around so he should look away not to see the blood. After five more seconds (during which he'd fished out his wand again), he turned and slowly added the blood. Once the last drop was in, he quickly cleaned it non-verbally for him not to see any stain or something.

HAD HE ADDED THE CLAW YET?

Despite one minor problem there, everyone had done marvellously! SPLENDID! This certainly helped the man to calm down, and he even griiiinned at them.

Did they see how each it was, actually, to please him?

"Last three steps, and very easy ones," he announced again, too energetic to sit still now. He was walking among them and smiling at whoever caught his gaze (though he was careful not to pass by Kevin. He didn't want to smile at Kevin.). "Our sixth step is, waiting for ten minutes and adding one snake fang." Very, very easy, right?

Right.

He reached the back wall of the class and leaned on it. Then he waved his wand at the blackboard and it updated itself:

OOC: If you wish, you can post your character speaking to someone in these ten minutes. :3 You don't have to finish this step in one post. Just, as always, don't go overboard with posting and chatter. <3

I'll post again 6 hours later.
