He was nearly ready to throw in the towel, so disgusted was he about this particular potion.

Oh.

Cosgrach was sometimes too excited to use common expressions.

"It's counter clockwise." So, he drew his wand and turned it counter clockwise over the potion. It got its half-green colour back.

"So, you're back on step four and you have already reversed half of it, the 'stir 3 times counter clockwise' part. All you have to do is to reverse the rest of it: 'stir 3 times clockwise'."

So he had to use a clean stirrer for that. Just saying.

Pretty soon, she was stirring counter-clockwise, just as the professor had suggested. "What about now, Professor?" she asked. "Is this right?"

Her eyes met the Hufflepuff boy for just a second. Was he about where she was, or was she way behind? Her mom would be ashamed, she thought.

Her potion turned half green and half red too, so she was where Ian was, basically.

"Same as him, you've got to reverse '3 times clockwise stirs'."

She would clean the stirrer first, right?
