Add a fire. Okay, this potion was getting to be annoyingly easy. The redhead was glad that she actually had a chance to make potions in school again, but so far the steps were easy. Add two liters of water, add unicorn hair and light a fire. But whatever. The first potions of the year were always a little easy, as she had said before. It made way for the harder ones later. And, tucking her red shoulder length hair behind her ear, Caelen remembered how she messed up the potion really badly in the middle of the year last year. Well, she wouldn't do that now. She was a second year. And second years knew what they were doing. Okay, not exactly, but the short girls mom always said to fake it till you make it, and that would happen if necessary.

Turning the heat to high and checking to make sure the cauldron was clean again, the Ravenclaw looked at the dragon heart. Cool. Like from a real dragon? Before last year, such creatures barely existed beside old fairy tales. And she never actually seen the heart from.... anything. Was that weird? Because if anything, it seemed almost normal. Anyway, the twelve year old had to measure and add the heart now.

Picking it up and grimacing slightly --it WAS a heart, after all -- the girl scanned the heart at first to REALLY see what it looked like. Was that what the human heart looked like? Because there was no way they were that big. Especially for a five foot two human like her. There was no way that she had the heart of a dragon. Although people did call her feisty. But the smart girl meant like literally. Measuring the thing felt disturbingly like measuring fruit at the grocery store. Yeah, chalk that up to something Caelen was never doing again.

Putting it gently in the potion, the blue eyed girl awaited the next instruction, playing with the cloth of her robe. If she could no longer play with the braid, her hands had to fiddle with something, and the robe was the next choice. Which meant that she was now playing with the cloth on her tummy, clenching the sides and unclenching it in her hands. Something to do, she supposed, while she waited with excitement over getting superhuman strength. Because that was going to be AWESOME!
