"Now clean up your area, scourgify your cauldrons, repeat the five C's of potion making and then start over!"
That ruined her mood.
"Next step will be to add two cups of Elf-made wine vinegar." She said and motioned to the door of the potions cupboard. "There is a barrel in there with enough for the whole class." She took the vinegar, burgundy in color and poured it slowly in with the water.
Cass held back jump from surprise when a number of cauldrons had been turned over because they didn't observe the C's of potion making. Thank Merlin she had that ingrained in her during first year, right after her own cauldron being tipped over too.
but that was a different story, one she didn't like revisiting often.
Then she snapped back in attention when Professor Lafay started giving the next set of instructions...Right elf-made wine vinegar thing...She glanced down on her messy notes and scribbled it down, making another mental note to sort it out afterwards, she seriously couldn't see! Maybe she needed glasses now? Everybody seems to be having no trouble in writing their notes down in their usual organized manner.
Then she followed her other classmates and went over to the barrel with the elf-made wine thing, and took two cups from it, just as instructed. She walked back to her table carefully and breathed out a sigh of relief when she made it without spilling a single drop. Then she glanced up at Lafay and copied how she poured down the vinegar into her own potion. Slowly and carefully.
