She said and demonstrated.

Things were still going well, but that didn't break Stella's vigilance down. She wasn't going to go back to the way she was with Potions back at Beauxbatons, not after she'd passed her OWL. Plus, Professor Lafay was still not someone she wanted to anger, so before she even thought about following the next instructions, she took her wand out yet again and Scourgified her mortar and pestle. There was no way she was going to get docked for missing that step, even if it hadn't been explicitly stated. Once that was completed, however, she stood up and headed over to the storage cupboard to collect the dock leaves.

Adding them to the now clean mortar, she picked up her pestle and crushed the leaves as directed, before standing up again to collect her ashwinder egg. Momentarily curious about how she was supposed to break a frozen egg, she glanced at it before cracking it against the side of her mortar, pretending it was no different than when she'd tried helping he rmother bake at home. Of course, half the time then, they'd used magic for steps like this, but she managed to crack the egg open either way and added it to her crushed dock leaves. Quickly retrieving the required fluxweed sprigs once that was done, those got added to the egg mixture before she carefully picked her entire mortar up and added everything inside to her cauldron. Now the question would be what they were supposed to do next, but she sat back and waited. And Scourgified her mortar and pestle one more time, before adding the steps she'd just completed to her notes.
