It was tempting to rub the end of her pestle on her robes and call it clean, but Vivi had a feeling that every potioneer in her life would be horrified at the idea. She Scourgified both the mortar and pestle before adding the poppy seeds.

Just a few feet away, Vivi spotted Vickers putting on a mask and goggles. Clever of him. He might end up being the only one in the classroom not to go completely batty in a few minutes. She held her breath as she ground up the poppy seeds, as if that would really help, and by the time she was adding the sprigs of Valerian, Vivi just had to breathe again.

Whew. That was an interesting scent. Vivi poured the contents of her mortar into the cauldron, happy to get the stuff out of her hands and away from her face.
