Cutty kept his newly corrected notes on the last class nearby for easy reference. If you could potentially chose the wrong herbs and plants for this project it was a good idea to have those notes and his book open. Alright, on to his hero now.

While he was thinking of what to add to the tea, Cutty absent-mindedly darkened Crouch's name on his parchment. He thought about remixing from his reworked list of house blends, but when Professor Bentley said they could move beyond that, it sounded more up his alley. Should he try adding mallow root for it's flavour? No. He had found that it had very little to do with the traits he had listed for Crouch and that one of his later ingredients might help balance out the flavours in any case.



Was this drinkable? Cutty thought so. In fact if he'd done it right it ought to make a sweetly dessert tea. He'd drink it anyway. Coming out of his dazed thoughts, Cutty glanced at his empty basket for a moment before taking it up and with his wand carried it over to a nearby tree, which he began poking around, trying to find vanilla planifolia. While looking about the floor near other species of orchids, something lightly tapped his forehead. Cutty swatted at the offender before he realized what they were. The little green pods which contained the vanilla beans. He smiled and pulled them closer-perhaps still a bit too rough in his handling of the plants-and flicked his wand using the charm Tobias had shown him.

"Flipnsnipwitit!" He swished his wand and uttered the incantation. Then hunted for the other ingredients.
