"Yeah, I suppose we could always use a color-changing charm if the color is really off.." As long as that didn't affect the efficacy of the potion. Ethan wasn't that worried about the aesthetic qualities anyway, just as long as it worked.

The Prefect thought over the Hufflepuff's question about stirring for a moment. "I think it does matter sometimes.. but I really don't know how the direction or number of times affect it.. so maybe we'll just go with one stir clockwise after each ingredient?" He wasn't completely sure.. but it sounded as good as anything. He'd hope for the best. And he watched Alec added the ground nettle and give the potion a stir.

He nodded at Alec's suggestion about the frog. "Sounds good," he said and pulled out his silver knife to start chopping up the chocolate while Alec added the drops of bubotuber pus. "Five..? Alright.." Ethan set his knife down once finished chopping up the candy and he jotted a few notes down. He put in one of the leeches into the potion and watched the mixture as it seemed to be siphoned off a bit. "Oh that sounds good," he nodded as Alec came up with a suggestion with their potion. Maybe one more leech.. Ethan dropped in another and said, "Except a draught is something you drink.." What else started with D though.. he liked that idea.. "What about Deflammation Demulcent?" The potion seemed to be a good thickness.. "Two leeches, I think." And he added that in his notes before adding in the chopped up chocolate and giving it one more clockwise stir.

"Okay, I guess that's everything," he said once all the ingredients had been added. "I guess we should cast a spell over the whole thing.. Any ideas?" And then, should they test it out? Even though they didn't really have any inflammation at the moment, at least as far as he could tell..

SPOILER!!: Ethan's notes

A colour changing charm... yeah! "Yeah!" he said, nodding, "Only if we really really need to," And was it just him or was there a lot to think about when it came to this Potion making? Like... they had to think about ingredients and what to add first and how much to add and... well... as much as Alec liked working with Ethan on this, he couldn't help but be slightly glad that the potion was nearly done. Maybe next time the two could get ice cream instead? Less confusing, ice cream was.

It matters... sometimes. Alec blinked. "Okay! Then... we'll just make sure to make a note of that in the instructions as well? Because... the more specific the better," Nodnod. Plus they were really specific, weren't they? The potions instructions?

"Five!" It wasn't too many, right? And they were just drops so... hopefully, the chocolate frog would be able to offset the smell of the petrol. "Awesome!" the Hufflepuff said, watching as the Ravenclaw started adding in the leeches, "Oh! Deflammation Demulcent..." It wasn't too much of a mouthful, yeah? "I think it sounds great!" And two leeches... Alec quickly scribbled the number into his journal while...

... Oh? CHOCOLATE FROG?

"It smells better too, you know," GRIN. No more petrol! ... Spell ideas... "Erm... spell... spell... A healing spell?" What spells did he know that would help them with this? "I'm not sure... But do you think we have to use a spell? Can't we just... wave our wands over the potion?" Or was spell casting necessary? "OR! Hey! Should we just leave it to simmer and cool down? Most potions are just left, I think." Or most of the ones he could remember.
