The students seemed even more distracted. Their potions would suffer. She took a breath to try to be less irritated, summoned the shrivelfigs and said. "Lay the knotgrass to the side, so the juices from the cutting come to the surface. We aren't adding them yet. The next ingredient. 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.
