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?
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. Quote:

She then cast a cleaning charm on her knife, and crushed the daisy root with it's handle, before chopping it and adding it to her potion.
Next, she donned her goggles and gloves, and cleaned her stirrer. Dropping a sprig of fluxweed into the cauldron, she stirred it three times counter clockwise, and then stirred it 3 times in the other direction after dropping in the other sprig. Setting the stirrer down, she picked up the candy, and placed the two sweet amphibians and stirred the contents with the liquorish wand.
She lowered the flame, and then cast scourgify on the bottle Lafay sent to the table, as well as on her funnel, and the cork. using the funnel, she Very, very carefully, poured the finished potion into her bottle, and placed the cork on it.
hmm, wait. Did Lafay just say that they would not be drinking any of the potion? Yeah, that seemed fishy, and made Emmaleigh wonder if this was really a de-agin potion, of if it had really been Phoenix tears they had used. She picked up her bottle, and walked up to Lafay's desk. Giving the professor a tiny smile, she placed the bottle in the box. After she returned to her seat, she finished writing her notes. Text Cut: Emmaleigh's notes

Step 13: add 1 phoenix tear to 1 tsp bicorn horn, and add to potion, stirring 15 times clockwise.
Step 14: Clean knife, and crush daisy root with handle. (To make more juices come out). Proceed to choop root, and add to cauldron.

Once her bottle was full, she corked it. Ew, was that still childish laugher she was hearing as the bottle swished a little while she walked to the front of the classroom? Definitely creepy...but at least it seemed like they were not going to have to drink it. She looked at Professor Lafay. "I hope this meets your standards, Professor," she said as politely and as confidently as she could before she added her bottle to the box.

Picking up the bottle, her funnel making sure to clean it before Using it and she carefully poured the potion into the bottle and corked it.
She turned to her notes and took down the last few steps. SPOILER!!: Nessa's notes

Hungry.
She took her potion and brought it up to the box. "Here you are, Professor," Ever said brightly. Ever-Lily felt slightly disappointed...secretly, she wanted to try the potion. Just to see what would happen. But whatever. Quote:

"Thank you professor," he replied being his normal polite self not a stitch of buttering up as he returned to his place. Adding the tear and the powdered bicorn horn, Simon proceeded to catch up with the rest of the class. Careful to squish the daisy root a little before cutting, he added it once he was through. Then putting his gloves back on and adding the goggles over his eyes, he mirrored the professor's actions to a t not wanting to mess up anymore then he had already.
Once the pepperment toads and chocolate frogs were added the the licorice wand used to stir before letting it melt, Simon reached down and lowered the flame. At mention of a funnel, he retrieved the one from his kit and upon inspection noticed it wasn't as clean as it could be.
"Scorgify." he cast cleaning the reside out before slipping the nozzle end into the bottle. Carefully using his spoon, he slowly added potion into the funnel and let it enter the given bottle. When it was full, the Gryffindor boy removed the funnel and corked the filled bottle of potion properly before bringing it up to Professor Lafay so she could grade it. Quote:

Alexandrie stated her voice a little higher then normal due to worry, they never had to bottle up their potion before after all.
"Thank you..." She said and make sure the bottles wouldn't rattle in the box. Quote:

Until it came time to add the phoenix tear.
Adding that rare ingredient.....would be a waste since she didn't want to take the potion in the first place. Chewing her bottom lip softly, she stared at her potion, quill tapping on the table. No. She wouldn't be adding the tear. "Miss Lovegoods, if you share the prefect's feelings, please vanish your potion." Merlin, all these ingredients, wasted.
"So... let's answer the question that someone asked earlier... Who can tell me what purpose this potion may have?" She asked the class.
