Nerida did not like the way Professor just smirked bad things happened when she smirked. Yeap bad things happened like making a potion with no directions! Looking at the water inside the cauldron it had boiled already. She lowered the temperature so that the water would be simmering

She picked up the five aihotsy leaves and looked around as a puffer started going hysterical why was he laughing! Shaking it off she tore the leaves one by one and placed them into the cauldron, some of the tiny leaves remaining on her hands. Now for those lovage leaves. Five of them again... This time she set them in the cauldron whole. She picked up her spoon and gave it a good stir counterclockwise.

Reem's blood. What was a reem? It sounded familiar. She put the vile up to her nose and suddenly wishes she hadn't it smelt awful and it made her head hurt! Quickly she poured in five drops of blood. She never had a problem with blood! Never! Shaking her head she had to focus she had to pass potions! Touching the spoon before deciding not to stir and would do that later.

Reading the next ingredient Nerida stopped suddenly why were they called bursting mushrooms?? She picked up the box of the mushrooms and pulled them up and set them on the cutting board. This time she would cut them... Picking up her knife she saw that they were growing in side and it didn't look good. "Eep! There going to blast me! What had she done with her wand? "How am I supposed to disarm a mushroom!?!!" Hearing the older Snake kid freaking out too and than he yelled out a spell. "THANKS! Immobulus!" Woo, she did not die! She chuckled and shook it all off. She picked up one of the mushrooms noting it had gotten quite large and probablly would have blasted her any second!

She didn't want to cut them for fear that they might explode when her knife touched them, but she had a feeling that she had too. She slowly cut one and stepped back fast. "Did it explode?" she asked quietly. Looking around just in case anyone had heard the THOUGHT that was supposed to be said in her head and not aloud. She pierced her lips and continued cutting the deadly mushrooms. She than carefully added tham to the potion.

She grabbed the asphodel root and measured out five inches of it, cutting the unneeded amount off and set that to the side. She was about to drop the root into the cauldron when her eyes fell onto the mortar. She set the roots into the mortar and began crushing the roots into a powder. She added it to the potion. She hadn't stirred in a while...Her hand resting on the spoon..."Nope not yet, after the voice box!"

She picked up the fwooper voice box bowl. Happy it had already been chopped! She took her tablespoon and measured out one tablespoon and added it to the potion and repeated the measurement four more times. This time she picked up her spoon and turned it clockwise. Since she hadn't stirred in a while, Nerida decided to stir the potion ten times!

She picked up the five flowers of brugmansia. It was such a pretty white flower! But what was brugmansia? Hmm not wanting to risk smelling it or eating it she quickly set a flower into the mortar and pressed it and pounded it a couple times with the pestle. Than she added the juice from the mortar but not the rest of it. Taking it out she placed the left over flower onto the cutting board and cut the rest into small pieces and whipped them into the cauldron. Feeling it was time for the heat to go up she turned it up to where it could boil. Before it began to boil Nerida stirred the potion ten times counterclockwise.

For the snake fangs, Nerida decided to crush them as well. Setting them all into the mortar. Nerida picked up the pestle again and added enough pressure to where it broke the Snake Fangs into bits, and then she began to grind them down until it turned into a powder. She picked up the mortar and poured the contents into the cauldron. Picking up the spoon she stirred it twice clockwise and than twice counterclockwise. She than let the potion sit for ten minutes.

After the ten minutes had passed Nerida took the five ounces of wormwood she poured it into the potion and quickly began stirring it into the potion. She did not stop stirring clockwise until she had made sure all of the wormwood had been stirred in. Picking up the last five ingredients, Nerida wondered if the smell was still on the petals. Putting one of the petals against her nose it was at that moment that Nerida remembered they were sneezewort petals! "Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Rubbing her nose she quickly added the sneezewort petals one at a time until they were all in there. Than she stirred four times counter clockwise. After the potion was finished she lowered down the heat too a simmer.

She collected all the tools she had used and pointed her wand at them and cleaned them, "Scourgify!" After the tools had been cleaned she set them to the side and waited for the Professor to speak. While she was waiting Nerida began to giggle uncontrollably which than turned to hysterical laughter. "Hehe...Hehe...Hehe.Hehe.Hehe!! Had she gotten a hold of one of those aihotsy leaves?
