Cosgrach studied them as they did the first 3 steps. He missed Toby's carelessness, as he wasn't going to count the 3 minutes with every single student. Sophie worried him more anyway, because she wasn't doing anything. He frowned to himself. This didn't look right. If she couldn't even handle a RIGHTFUL warning... he decided to give her a few more moments, because he didn't want to believe she was that sensitive...
And the next moment, she had filled her cauldron! Good. He was relaxed, and turned to update the blackboard.

4. Chop the fluxweed well and add it
5. Stir 7 times clockwise with a metal stirrer
6. Sprinkle the dog fur evenly (in about 10 seconds)
7. Wait for exactly 7 days (note the hour and minute and do the next step at the exact time)
"Please chop the fluxweed and add it, then stir 7 times clockwise with a metal stirrer. Sprinkle the dog fur evenly in approximately ten seconds, but just for this step you don't have to be so precise about the time." But he expected excellence otherwise. "Once you're done sprinkling, please note the exact hour and minute, because you have to wait for 7 full days before moving on." He paused for them to finish these steps BEFORE he answered any possible questions...

After enough time had passed, the rest of the recipe appeared on the board.

10. Add the other 7 of the feathers
11. Set the burner on medium heat
12. Add the Armadillo bile one tea spoon at a time
13. Stir 7 times counter clockwise with a metal stirrer
14. Add the Runespoor egg
15. Wait for 7 minutes and 7 seconds
16. Cast 'Recordo'
17. Add the aconite roots one by one
18. If done correctly, it will exude a faint blue smoke
"Don't worry about copying this all, let's just practise the spell 'Recordo' without your wands. Repeat after me: ré-core-DOH. Recordo." He listened to the class intently. Did anyone have a problem with the incantation? Hopefully not? "The wand movement is very straightforward: you draw a circle over the potion to symbolise the full moon." Easy to remember, yes? Still, he demonstrated it. "You can try too, without the incantation." To be honest, he didn't really look closely because it was a very easy movement and he expected everyone to get it right. "And lastly, before casting it, you have to come up with a strong memory, either sad or happy. It just have to be a vivid one you remember. Then, you combine all: you'll think of the memory, draw a circle over the potion and say the incantation. We won't do that today because we're not at that step yet." And obviously, they wouldn't be able to tell if they got it right or wrong without trying it on the potion. He just wanted them to hear and see.
"We're done with the potions part of this class." That had been quick AND EASY, HUH? All of them got it right, yes? "Completing the potion is your homework. I'll announce the details and the full recipe later, so don't try to copy it now. Just listen to Professor Dakest if you're done."
With that, he turned to sit down on his chair once again, unless someone stopped him with a question. OOC:- The potions part is done at the end of this post, so if your character has a problem and/or question, you can still RP it and we'll answer as if it's before Cosgrach finished his part.
 - You can catch up as always!
- Thank you for participating!
- The class will continue when Tazenhani posts.
