Text Cut: instructions plus ingredients

They...were going to brew this potion on their own? Though not completely alone since Professor Lafay was still there, but she wasn't leading them along in the steps this time.

Well this would be interesting. Lots of things could go wrong, but hopefully nothing would.

So, first things first, ingredients. She scribbled the list down and went to retrieve them, making two trips and glancing at the list to make sure she had everything. Oh, and something random. Lafay had said something about that. So without really paying attention, Penelope grabbed whatever looked like it should go in the potion. Which...every ingredient looked like that, to be honest. But anyway. She took that to her work station too and then looked at the first step.

Add the wings. Okay.

She was about to do that when something hit her - cleaning. And water. And fire. Right. Gah. This was so hard to remember apparently...

Penelope cast a quick Scourgify to clean her cauldron and then Aguamenti to fill it with water and lit a fire under it with Incendio. Mildly pleased that she was still able to cast them all successfully, she added the fairy wings and started to heat it and wait for it to turn the turquoise...

"Everybody DUCK!" she cried, diving under her own table just as....

*BOOM*

Her cauldron exploded, sending potion everywhere.

That thing she thought about nothing going wrong? Yeah, SHE was wrong.

Penelope didn't quite register the older girl yelling "Duck", as she was concentrating on her own potion, and before she knew it, something smacked her right in the head, almost knocking her into her own cauldron. Almost. The force made her lean forward slightly, but she managed to stay on her feet and avoid falling face first into the cauldron. Thank Merlin.

But...now she had potion in her hair. Meh. Could be worse - a lot worse, actually - but still. Ew.

Do not tell me why you added that particular ingredient or what the potion is now capable of doing... Just brew it. Ask me any question you wish during. Just don't ask if you are doing it right." ooc: This potion should be brewed in 8 posts. Feel free to ask question, I'll answer once a day. They...were going to brew this potion on their own?
