He removed the cauldron from the heat and allowed it to cool. He crossed his fingers, hoping that he hadn't made a mistake. He looked around to see what the other students were doing. He was especially excited to see what the Gryffie boy was doing. He turned around and looked at him.

He walked over to some of the other huffies and asked about their cauldrons.
