Hearing Professor Lafay commenting on all the talking, Dylan zipped his lips and decided it was best not to say anything else. No need to upset his Head of House...Not when it was their final lesson with her this term.

ANYWAY...back to preparing his lobalug venom.

When figuring out how much to use, he went with a measurement they usually exercised in these situations. A cup....Everything always seemed to be 'a cup of'....So, that's what Dylan had decided upon. A cup of lobalug venom...He'd had to think fast for something when he'd seen they'd be adding their own special ingredient...And he'd been completely legit when he'd explained to Alice the reasons.

Female frenzy was a scary thing...and Dylan had had more than his fair share in his young life.

Having it measured out and ready, the Captain tipped the cup into the cauldron, allowing the venom to pour out and mix with the contents. Breaking out one of his handy-dandy spoons, he scourgified it, obviously, before dunking it down into the potion and stirring it some. A lot of things had been added to this one. He felt compelled to mix it really good.

Pulling it back out, he cleaned it and put it away quickly.

He was done. DONE. SUCCESS!
