Removing the outer layers on her garlic and banishing them, Kurumi chopped up the clove coarsely before laying the blade against it and pressing down. One thing about garlic that Kurumi did not like was how strong the smell was and that once you got it on your fingers the stench lingered there for what seemed like an eternity. With everyone chopping up garlic, the classroom smelled like a bad Italian restaurant and made it even more difficult for Kurumi to concentrate.

Once her garlic was...whatever it was, Kurumi scooped it up with her blade and dropped it into the cauldron. It fizzled and bubbled instantly...which Kurumi wasn't sure was a good or bad thing. The color of hers was different from everyone else's. MEEP...

Deciding to continue to plug along, Kurumi grated the lemon over the grater and caught the bits with her measuring cup. Did it matter that juices were getting in it? Because it was and she was making a mess at her station. Once she had two cups of lemon glop zest, she added that to the cauldron and then sat back to wait for fifteen minutes to pass. She observed her cauldron nervously. Since Jonathan had left, her Potion brewing skills had sort of gone down the drain...which was bad considering OWLs were coming up. He had been such a constant supporter and tutor to her...now she was turning into Selina.

She might need to find herself a temporary tutor.

As the clock ticked down, Kurumi waved her wand over the mess of a station, casting Scourgify over the area, and then waited for whatever it was that was coming next.
