India winced out of well, pity for the person who had to restart their potion already. After only one step? Looking down at her own water filled cauldron she sighed. Now ten drops and Valerian Root and Salamander blood one at a time - and alternating them.

Great.

She had a little idea - a note for every time someone had to restart a potion. No, she'd doodle a carrot - so far there was only one.

Taking out her Valerian Root and Salamander blood she tried to decide which would go first. Valerian root it would be.

One drop Valerian Root.
One drop Salamander Blood.
One drop Valerian Root.
One Drop Salamander.

She counted for a minute - that was two each, she needed a total of eight more of each.

Yet another Valerian Root.
And again with the Salamander Blood.

She suddenly wondered how long it took to extract the salamander's blood with how small they were. Did they use Venipuncture needles like they did with muggles - or was it simply draining and extracting of all different things. Sure some potion out there had to call for Salamander eyeballs or salamander tongues.

Ew. Okay, so now she was up to a measly three. Seven more.

Valerian Root.
Salamander Blood.

Weren't Salamander's cold blooded - and sluggish in cold weather. It'd be easy to capture them in the fall or winter then wouldn't it. But are they around then? Do they simply hibernate.

Valerian Root.
Salamander Blood.

Five more.

Valerian root. Salamander blood.
Valerian root. Salamander blood.
Valerian root - salamander blood.
Valerian root - Salamander blood.
Valerian Root, Salamander blood.

She never wanted to see another Salamander part again in her life.

And that was how many?

10. She had finished that step. Now what?
