And she did what she said to the letter. "Now what you want to do is take a papaya, whole and with the same silver knife, stab the fruit and stuff some of the basil in the wound.

1 whole Papaya

Stella couldn't help but look up at Professor Lafay as she actually seemed pleased that they'd all been following directions. It might have been only her, but she figured it was the fear of what the professor could do if angered that was keeping them all safe. Either way, things had quickly moved on to the next steps to the potion, so she focused on that instead. She could think about other things once the lesson was finished, and she would be safe from disaster. Since this potion obviously was nowhere near the one they'd brewed in the first lesson last term.

Removing her wooden spoon from her kit, she quickly Scourgified it, then proceeded to measure out the three spoonfuls of raw honey, letting the heat from her potion melt off the residue between each spoonful. Once that was complete, she Scourgified the spoon once again just for good measure, then got up to collect the basil leaves and a papaya. Returning to her seat, she took her silver knife out and Scourgified that was well, before carefully slicing the basil leaves into as thin of slices as she could get without injury. Then, sliding her papaya nearer to herself, she started stabbing it, only pretending it was her ex the tiniest bit so she didn't feel like a complete idiot stabbing fruit. And, once she figured there were enough wounds in the poor papaya, she started stuffing them with the basil slices, then she delicately dropped the whole fruit into the mixture inside her cauldron. Once that was done, she returned to her notes, Scourgifying the knife before she could forget. She wanted to make sure she was ready for whatever came next, after all.
