Everyone was doing well, odd. "Alright, now retrieve your mortar and pestle from your potions kit, and, after making sure it is clean, put the two tablespoons of poppy seeds into it. Start grinding them down to a dust and then breaking up with your hand the seven sprigs of Valerian, put them in the morter. Then crush it together with the poppy dust. Be sure to then add the contents to your potions." And she demonstrated it all.
Minerva listened to the next set of directions. Was it just the way she was feeling or did this potion seem to be taking longer then usual. She always loved potions, maybe she was getting sick or something. The thought of the blood coming back to her mind she felt her stomach turn again. Time to put that out of memory and never think of it again. She knew right then she would never try to make this potion on her own. Not if she had to use the blood again.
Pulling out her mortar and pestle, Minerva pointed her wand and cleaned them both. After she knew they were clean she placed the two tablespoons of poppy seeds into it and crushed them down to a dust.
CRUSH....CRUSH...CRUSH... Once the dust looked right to her, Minerva then took the seven springs of Valerian and broke it up in her hand.
Crush..Crush..Crush.. She then added the Valerian to the poppy seed dust and made sure they were mixed well together before adding both ingredients to her potion. Looking up she glanced around to see if what the next step was.
