The girl, first off, used her wand to 'scourgify' the wooden spoon and the silver knife. She didn't want to start all over again when she's reached this point successfully.

Taking the wooden spoon, Louisa followed instructions. She scooped three spoonfuls of the raw honey and slowly dropped it onto the boiling cauldron enjoying the view of honey melting and falling. Hehe. Down with the wooden spoon and grabbing her silver knife, the girl grabbed five basil leaves and laid them on the table. She caught the bunch with her left hand, her fingers clumsily holding it and leaving small room for the knife to cut. It wasn't as an easy task as a girl would think since she'd never sliced or worked in kitchen. The only slicing experience she had was from Potions over the previous years- and even this wasn't enough.

She'd sliced the basil leaves, as thin as she could go without slicing her hand with them. Now came the fun part, Louisa thought. She grabbed a papaya and dragged-rolled it closer to herself. Still holding the silver knife, she started stabbing the fruit; three cuts were made before she stuffed the sliced basil leaves into them. Another few cuts to fill the remaining of the leaves and then the Ravenclaw caaaaarefully put it whole in the cauldron.

This potion was interesting so far.
