He didn’t want them getting hurt at all either, cause they were his friends and they all had to look out for their friends. "I remember getting hurt by those things a lot! It was like they were coming after just me and not everyone else. This bruise paste would have come in handy at that time, either that or something to get rid of all the soreness that I felt after one of those had struck me really hard." he said to Ethan as he watched him look into the cauldron.
Harvey shook his head as Ethan seemed surprised that he hadn’t even heard of this paste that seemed to be a good thing for bruises. He looked into the cauldron "I will?" he asked Ethan wondering what he could use the bruise paste for when Ethan said he was making double so that Harvey could take some with him if he wanted. Harvey smiled as he remembered something that he might need it for, but he didn’t want to mention too much of it in front of Ethan so he decided to vaguely mention it "Yeah I guess there are some needs for that when someone decides that you need to have some sense put into you." he said remembering the summer that got him some small bruises but not too much.
Harvey watched Ethan continue with the paste making handling some of that flobberworm mucous that could be a little smelly he couldnt remember since he hadn’t handled any in so long. He looked at Ethan as he said it wasn’t too smelly, it wasn’t? he wondered how that could be. When his question was answered with Ethan next comment "Oh ok I was wondering how it could not be too smelly" he said playing around with the mortar and pestle that were in front of him. He then looked at Ethan as he told him to grind up some porcupine quills. Harvey nodded, well might as well help out right? "Yeah sure" he said to Ethan as he reached in for a quill and instantly got pricked "Ow!!" he said as he rubbed the spot where he got pricked. "Wasn’t too careful, sorry" he said this time taking out a couple of quills and grinding them, before taking out a few more and grinding those when in the end he had grinded up 6 quills and ended up with more sore spots than the quills he had grinded. He obviously wasn’t as careful as he thought he could be.
Glancing down at his journal to make sure he was following the steps correctly, Ethan stirred his potion twice more clockwise and removed the stirrer.
"They are pretty terrible," Ethan said with a laugh,
"But they do keep the game interesting, I suppose." He started to added dried nettles, one by one, giving the cauldron a counterclockwise stir after each one and glanced over at Harvey.
"You got hit with bludgers often?" It had been a rare event for Ethan, though it did happen from time to time.
"Yeah, it would have come in handy.. though it doesn't really help a whole lot with the soreness.. it's more for the discoloration." Depending on how bad the bruise was anyway.
There.. now he had eight dried nettles stirred into the potion. What was next? Ethan glanced down at his journal again before looking back up at Harvey.
"Oh.. right.." he nodded as the other boy a comment about sense getting knocked into him. He picked up his mallow leaves and began chopping them up finely with his silver knife.
"In that person's defense, it was felt to be necessary," he said plainly. He glanced back to the boy again.
"Did it work?"
Raising a brow, he eyed Harvey as he attempted to crush the quills. Merlin, he had never seen anyone prick themselves so badly. But it would do the boy some good to learn how to do it without his help so he didn't offer it just merely stood by and let him do it on his own. He added the leaves, then said,
"Alright.. add the crushed quills and stir the mixture clockwise five times." He could handle that, right? Not too hard..
