Looking through his ingredients, Ascanius tried to figure out exactly what he was going to do next. He figured now that the water was white it could use some color and he was just running on pure instinct here. After all, wasn't that how most potion-makers created them? Trial and error? And then if it went wrong they went back to the drawing board. That was all he was doing here.

So, he was going to use the blood now because he just FELT like it needed to be there next. Picking up the vial he shook it twice for reasons to make sure it didn't get stuck anywhere to the sides and decided to put in EXACTLY half.

He did that exactly and then saw that the blood seemed to be clotting in the off-white mixture. So he he decided he was going to mix the potion so that it became more consistent in fluid. He decided to mix it counter-clockwise to break up the monotony of it and then did it FIVE times before it all mixed in nice.

Time to write this all down. Although, his potion did look pink-ish now.

He inspected all of the liquid that was now sitting contentedly in the cauldron. There was not one part left that even remotely looked like it had been blood. It was now all one in the same, which was good. He didn't want it to be chunky. When he had been at Durmstrang, he had seen someone make polyjuice over the course of a month or two. And it ended up looking HORRIBLE and like stew.

So no, his potion was going to be liquid.
