She was being told to get out, though, and get out she would do. She looked toward the group of students who'd tried to help her and who'd said nice things to her. Beezley would bake them extra cookies, she would.

"Yes, Missus. Beezley will leave now. Beezley has been a bad, bad elf," she said, bowing. She looked at the studentsies with a slight shine in her eyes then with a SNAP, she was gone.

"You're welcome," Vivi muttered sarcastically as she finished cleaning the mess the rude little elf had made and hadn't even stayed to clean herself. So much for no good deed going unpunished.

She quickly vanished the remaining spilled potion and broken glass with a murmured, "Evanesco", before returning to her heating cauldron.

It wasn't really a good moment to say something preposterous and stupid to one Genevieve Branxton, and yet the professor seemed determined to try her luck. Vivi was sorely tempted to toss her shoe at the woman, but considering the rather pleading looks coming from Louisa and her own decision to work on impulse control, Vivi opted instead for a pleasant (and scary) little smile and a tone of voice that was overly sweet if tightly controlled.

"I apologize, Professor. At Beauxbatons, Monsieur expected students to come to class with their equipment already cleaned and ready for immediate use. I'm happy to clean it again for you." Seriously, woman? Wasting their time making them reclean a cauldron that should have been cleaned and inspected prior to class? The bumbling idiot who forgot would have an exploded cauldron - a lesson that wouldn't soon be forgotten again.

With that same tight little smile, Vivi vanished the water from her cauldron, gave it the most cursory of cleaning spells, and refilled it to the brim with water. Anyone who knew her well would have been able to see the frustration and unhappiness in the tense lines of her body, but she didn't suppose anyone at this school did know her that well.

half a cup of Kava Kava
1 deadly nightshade berry
8 leaves of devil's weed
1 cup of Poison Hemlock seeds
1 poppy flower
10 leaves of Calea Zacatechichi

Vivi spent some moments reading the board and recopying the list of ingredients before moving. Not only because she wanted to continue to work on impulse control, but because the rush at the cupboards would be dwindling by the time she got there.

Strange list of ingredients, all very dangerous on their own. And this was to be ingested? Or perhaps a topical application? Regardless, it had her wondering if the underclassmen would be expected to test their own potions.

Once the line cleared, Vivi made her way to the cupboard and carefully chose her ingredients based on the list in her hand. It was hard not to take more than she needed, but she was already pressing her luck as it was. No stealing from the professor today.

Back at her seat, Vivi set out her ingredients in a neat line before resuming her seat. She folded her hands in front of her and smiiiiiiled at the professor again.
