She checked her watch, it was almost time to turn off the fire. This time she didn't wait for Jory to do it: she grabbed her wand, pointed to the burner and said: "Finite!" The fire was extinguished and she smiled, thinking: it works!
The Hufflepuff girl, feeling confident about what she should do, added 13 drops of Flobberworm mucus into the cauldron, then began stirring again, anticlockwise: "seven, six, five, four" she could feel her own heart beating faster while she noticed that the potion was about to get ready, and she was rising her voice when she finish counting the stirring "three, two, one!"
Quickly she withdrew the wooden spoon from the cauldron, putting it on the work station and said loudly, jumping up and down with excitement: "It's done, Jory!!! It's done!" Then, without planning, she twined her arms around his waist and hold him tightly. When she noticed what she was doing, she became a bit embarrassed and relaxed her arms, lowering her eyes and saying: "Sorry for that, Jory. I just got carried away... It's my first potion..." Then she managed changing the subject: "Now I know exactly what Professor Lafay was intending when she didn't give me any tip about what to do... She wanted to me to find out that I was able to do things that I thought I was not." She grinned. "So, now, what we have to do?"
"Good job,'' Jory commented. He was startled when the first year threw her arms around him. He turned red again.
"Don't worry about it,'' he said.
"You'll have tons more potions to make before you're through with Hogwarts.'' They were done! Whether the potion worked was another story. But Professor Lafay had said it was okay if they failed.
"Well, now we just have to bottle up the Potion and clean up,'' the final year said. Yes, do everything the right way just as they had been thought in class. He retrieved a bottle from his bag big enough to hold the potion and used the clean ladle to fill it with their potion. Once he was done, he scribbled a tag for their bottle:
Quote:
Names: Jory Stonewall & Annabeth Glasswall
Years: Seventh & First
House: Hufflepuff
Using a Sticking Charm, Jory stuck it onto the potion bottle. "Now, we clean up,'' he said. He pointed his wand at the cauldron.
"Scourgify!'' He did the same with the instruments they had used; the knife, ladle, spoon ecetera.
"Well, that's it,'' the boy said, turning to Anna.
"Thanks for working with me.'' He began to repack his stuff.
"So, I'll see you around, then,'' he added with a grin. He placed the bottle in the center of the table. He didn't want anyone to knock it over.
