With the ginger root in one hand and a grater in another, Gideon made sure it was clean before starting to grate the root into his cauldron. He was careful to make sure all of it was added to his potion. That done, he sat back down on his stool to let it simmer as he worked on the other steps, glancing at his watch to mark the time the wait started until it needed to end.
His attention was turned back to Lafay as she showed them the next ingrediant, an item that looked familiar but he'd never been properly introduced before. So that's a reishi mushroom, he mused to himself jotting a few notes about it down in his work. Hearing what it was used for certainly gave a good reason it was kept in both his mothers and grandfather's gardens.
"Scorgify," Gideon cast again on his knife to clean before taking one of the mushrooms from the collection. He then started to slice them thinly as directed, completing one before moving on to the next and the next one after that until he had all of them completely sliced up. Putting down his knife, he added the mushrooms to the cauldron before taking up his wand.
"Sanum..." he cast mimicing the potions mistress' wand movement as best he could and hoping for the best. With the last step done, he set it aside to cool as directed, debating his next course of action as Professor Lafay explained what to do. Finally figuring he might as well take the potion to get a better, clearer reaction then a chance allergen from anything she had, the fifth year got up from his workstation to retrieve an offered vial of allergy-inducing potion. Downing it, Gideon then tested it out, only to start sneezing when he went for a plant.
"Guess its pollen..." he mused returning to his work to get away from the offending item. He was sure glad he wasn't allergic to it normally. As Lafay closed up class, he took the anti-allergy potion and finished up his notes as he awaited its effects, adding the homework at the end.
