Alyssa picked up her knife and her measuring cup and placed both on her work desk. Taking out her wand she first cleaned them using the "Scourgify" spell, and then inspected both the cup and the knife to make sure that they were both clean before holstering back her wand. She then picked up the whole clove of garlic and crushed it using the flat blade of her knife. She pressed on it as hard as she could to make sure that the entire clove was crushed and then added the crushed up clove of garlic to her potion. As she did that, Alyssa noticed that there was some garlic smeared on her knife, so she used her finger, to wipe off the remaining garlic from the blade and let it drip into her cauldron.

Next she picked up the lemon zest and her grater and grated the lemon zest into her measuring cup. When she had grated 2 cups worth of lemon zest, she added them to the potion in her cauldron.

Now it was time for her to let it simmer for 15 minutes. As she watched the time tick off on her watch, Alyssa quickly picked up her quill and added the steps she had completed into her Potions Journal.





Then she put down her quill and unholstered her wand and waited for the Professor to speak again.

He grabbed the lemon and carefully grated two cups of zest. After the cup fulls were added to the caldron, Jory let it simmer for the fifteen minutes. He got out his wand and waited for Professor Lafay to give the next set of instructions.

Ugh, Garlic.. She never like the smell of garlic. Then she added it into her cauldron. Then grated the lemon zest and added it into her cauldron. She needed to wait it simmer for 15 minutes and her wand. She took her wand from her robe and waited for the last step.

He lifted the garlic into the pot, sliding off the knife easily. He then reached out for the measuring cup and scourgified it, and as instructed by the Potions Mistress, he immediately grated the lemon zest, into the cup taking the leftover cinnamon powder along with it. By the time he was grating the zest for a second cup he has all but cleaned the cinnamon powder off the grater, tapping the excess zest against the cups rim before tilting the cup into the cauldron.

He glanced up at the time keeper and started setting his used materials aside as he waited for the 15 minute simmering time to come around.

Zhenya made sure to listen carefully to the next steps. After adding the Bubertuber pus, she used a metal spoon and stirred it six times counter-clockwise. Okay, she counted individually until it was stirred all six times!

She then heard the next one, and reached out to get the toothpaste. She wanted to brush her teeth because it smelled so minty. She put a generous amount of the toothpaste onto a metal spoon and put it in the cauldron, stirring it around 30 times until the toothpaste all came off the spoon. Next was honey, messy yummy honey!

She listened to Professor Lafay as she instructed them not to rush, and to add the honey onto the spoon and let it drip into the cauldron. She held it about six inches from the cauldron. It didn't take too long to drop off the spoon, and she did it another two times. That made 3!

Zhenya pulled out her mortar and pestle and cleaned it with the "Scourgify" spell. She measured the 4 snake fangs into the cauldron and crushed them up briskly until they formed a fine powder. Then she sprinkled it over her cauldron. Once she had done that she said "Scourgify" to clean her mortar and pestle again, and got her cinnamon stick and her grater. She grated it over the cauldron, and took a nice big smell of it.

She stayed listening to Professor Lafay for the next instruction. Right, garlic. Oh, one of her favourite smells! It always reminded her of her grandparents home in Russia. She got a whole clove and got her knife and cut it up roughly. Then she got the blade of her knife and crushed the garlic, until it was a nice paste, almost. She scooped it off her board and put it into the cauldron, and scraped the excess off.
Next was the Lemon Zest. Mmm, she thought about lemon tarts! Oh, it's potions, not cooking, she told herself. She was glad she forgot to clean the grater, because she didn't need to. She held it over a measuring phial and crated 2 cups worth of Lemon Zest, then added it to her potion.

Whilst she waited for 15 minutes whilst it simmered, she cleaned her equipment, re-organised the ingredients she had been using and cleaned her bench.

Grabbing the grater again, she grated two cups of lemon zest and dumped that into her cauldron. After letting her potion simmer for the required fifteen minutes, Sky pulled out her wand and waited for the next set of instructions.

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.

Picking the knife up, she pressed the flat of the silver blade to the slices. The, she added it to the potion, making sure to get all the excess into the liquid.

Turning to the grater, she picked up her wand. "Scour-" Oh, right they idn't have to. Pocketing her wand, she picked up the grater and held it over a bowl. Grating the zest, she didn't stop until she had exactly two cupfuls. Adding it to the cauldron, she allowed it to simmer.

Fifteen minutes sure seemed like forever...

Expertly, Janice chopped the clove of garlic. She had gotten used to the tears since a very young age; her mum had taught her the very skill when she was 4. After the garlic has been all cut and sliced and chopped into small, tiny pieces, she slid them off her chopping board into the cauldron. Copying Professor, she used her finger to clean the remains of garlic from her knive and plunged them inside the cauldron.

Then, she used the same grater to grate the lemon zest. She added 2 cups of grated lemon zest into her cauldron. WHile waiting to simmer for 15 minutes, she wrote the steps in her notes and put her wand in position.

Daichi carefully placed HIS basket of chocolate under his desk , no way he was going to share. And as he got back up he was putting on his on dragon hide gloves.

Picking up his metal spoon , he used Scourgify to clean it and put the drops of Bubertuper pus in the cauldron while counting. 1...2...3...4...5. He than began to stir it counter clockwise six times and waited for the next instructions.



Daichi's eyes never left the Professor as she began to walk around. In his mind, he was praying she wouldn't see HIS chocolate under the table and when she passed he let out a relieved breath. Why it was important to use metal was a mystery to him but he didn't pay attention to it and just grabbed the toothpaste. He placed it on the desk and pointed his wand at the tablespoon "Scourgify" he said and watched as the spoon got cleaner. Now he added the toothpaste on the metal and stirred gently in the cauldron under it dropped off.

Daichi grabbed another clean spoon and also the honey and measured it. He listened as Lafay told them to drip it slowly in the cauldron and the Slytherin stuck his tongue out in concentration as the liquid dripped in the cauldron.



Ah , so metal was a heat conductor...he knew that! Oh cool time for the mortar and pestle part! Daichi always liked this because he could crush things in to a powder that way~ No, he did not concider himself weird. He added four snake fangs and crushed them in the mortar. Sprinkling it in the cauldron he took a stick of cinnamon and looked at the Professor on what to do with it.

But...was...she...smiling? O_______o

Honestly what was wrong with the mean labeled Professors this term?!



Trying to ignore the fact that both of the concidered *evil* Professors where being *nice* he chopped the clove of garlic and began to crush it with the flat of his blade. Adding it in to the cauldron as instructed. He then grabbed the grater he used with the cinnamon and pointed his wand at it when Lafay instructed that i didn't need to be clean. So now he just began to grate the lemon until he had two cups full and added it in to the cauldron.

And now waiting. Bleh, waiting was always the least fun part. Daichi sighed as he sat back down in his chair and bend down to grab another piece of chocolate. He would get his wand later.

She then crushed the pieces with the flat of the blade as was instructed. She added all the garlic to the cauldron, carefully swiping her knife with her finger. She let out a sigh of relief when she didn't cut herself. The garlic smelled great and reminded her of pasta dinners at home. Yum!

Next she picked up her grater and grated the lemon. She measured out two cups with a clean measuring cup and added it to her potion. Then she looked down at her watch. She noted the time and while she waited she got her wand ready and added to her notes. When fifteen minutes were up, she readied her wand, wondering what was going to happen.

Then she went to find the cinnamon stick which was on the right side. It almost slipped out of her hands but she caught it! She took the grater and grated into the potion. She took a sniff and she smiled! It smelt really good.



Belle did the grating first because it seemed the easiest. She cleaned her grater with "Scourgify!" to get rid of the cinnamon. Then she grated the lemon zest into the two cups near her cauldron. She didn't add it yet. Then she cut up the clove of garlic. She peeled off the skin and crushed the tiny pieces flat with the blade.
"Professor did i cut my cloves of garlic right? I have a feeling i didn't." Belle asked. She wanted to be sure so she wouldn't mess it up. She didn't add the lemon zest in yet which was a smart move.
