Dylan let it stew for several minutes...as he'd directed himself to do, whipping out a wooden stirring spoon. It didn't really matter for right now what he used to stir this thing...The more specific things would come later...when the mercury got involved. Checking his watch, he dipped the spoon down into the potion and stirred randomly. not bothering to keep it moving. Once again, it wasn't a necessary thing. After completing that, it was time to move onto the crushing thing...

Graphorn horn time.

Moving his mortar and pestle to the forefront of the workstation, Dylan twisted the cap off the container holding the broken pieces of graphorn horn and selected a few for crushing. Adding them to the mortar, he got to work, using his quidditch muscles to grind the raw material.

Griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinding....grinding....grinding ....grinding....

Once the powder was fine enough, the Slytherin pulled his measurement cups (that had also been cleaned, fyi) and readied himself for the next step. It was more involved than most of the others...and required concentration...so not to forget where he was with the count.

First teaspoon, Dylan paused, stirring twice clockwise...and then with the second teaspoon...He paused again, stirring twice more...and then another two times after the third...He continued on with methodically adding the powder, not missing a beat in doing so...or allowing his focus to waiver. That's how Slytherins did it, though...Total pros at life.

After it had all been added in, he was supposed to let the potion sit for another ten minutes...So, he stirred and waited.

One minute.......two minute.......three minute..........four minute........five minute......

Also, the notes were updated with cross outs!
