Did no one else notice that Professor Lafay was chewing on gum? Or did they and just not find it odd at all? Kurumi seemed to remember someone one term bringing a food or some sort of drink into the classroom and getting an instant detention because of it. So...why was she snapping her gum?
Kurumi's thoughts about...gum...were distracted when several ingredients appeared in front of her and Professor Lafay began to ramble off brewing instructions in a machine gun fashion. Woah woah woah! Kurumi's hand flew over her parchment as she attempt to keep up with instructions as they were given. When she thought that she had accomplished this, Kurumi set to following instructions, putting half of the juice, mucus, the fangs and the slime in the mortar and crushing the chizpurfle fangs until the contents of her mortar turned bright purple.
This step done, Kurumi checked her cauldron to make sure that the water was boiling and then added the rest of the Horklump juice to it before adding the bright goo in her mortar as well.
Kurumi paused to look over the list of ingredients and wondered just what it was they were brewing. None of these had been listed in her
Advanced Potions textbook for Drought of Living Death, so that wasn't what they were brewing.
Tapping her index finger against her lips, Kurumi read over the instructions and ingredients again. Of course, why hadn't she realized it sooner? Her violet eyes glanced back towards Professor Lafay. If they were brewing this potion...then....did that mean...
A knot grew in Kurumi's stomach. She didn't like this at all...not one bit.
