She said and demonstrated.
Tayla cleaned her mortar and pestle, then did as Professor Lafay instructed: She got two dock leaves, placed them into the mortar and crushed it. A few moments after, she took an Ashwinder Egg and carefully broke it, adding the ingredient to the mortar. She grabbed four sprigs of Fluxweed and added them, too, quickly. Once that was done, she added the whole mixture to the cauldron.
"Phew!" she breathed out. No messy mistakes yet - or anything disastrous. Hopefully it would stay that way.

She showed them how she'd do it and then added. "You want to take the two sprigs Parsley and crush them loosely in your hands above the cauldron, adding the flakes as they fall." She showed them.
Tayla added ten drops of Murtlap Essence and then stretched her arm out for the stirrer - but she couldn't find it. Her eyes grew wide.
"Wooden stirrer...wooden stirrer!!" Tayla said, as if calling it would make it appear.
"Where on earth is that thing?!"
She looked all around her work table and couldn't find it anywhere. She checked under the table, and didn't see it either. Panicking a little, Tayla took out her wand and pointed toward the floor.
"Accio wooden stirrer..." she whispered urgently.
A couple seconds later, she caught the stirrer in her hand. Tayla gave a big sigh of relief and went back to working on her potion. She stirred eight times counter-clockwise as instructed and hoped Professor Lafay didn't notice her frantic look.
Tayla shook her head and tried to remember what came next.
"Oh yes...two sprigs of Parsley." She held her hands over the cauldron, crushed the sprigs a little in her hands, and watched as the flakes fell into the cauldron with the rest of the mixture.
