The response to her greeting had been interesting to say the least, but Lily didn’t spend too much time wondering about that. At least she’d gotten the professor’s name right, and the lesson had begun not long after she’d settled into her seat. There wasn’t really time to question possibly odd greetings from professors, and she’d had her journal out almost as soon as the picture had rolled away to reveal the potion they’d be brewing. There was an odd sense of pride in her at guessing what that was, yet nobody had asked. There really hadn’t been a lot of discussion at all; instead they had basically moved straight into starting to brew, so she’d pulled her wand out and quietly Scourgified her cauldron again, along with the cup to measure out the water that had been requested. She’d note down the instructions in a bit. Odds are there was going to be time where she was just waiting for things to boil or steep or whatever anyway.
She’d listened to the questions that the others had been asking, however, just out of curiosity. The answers seemed to be important, especially when it came to the origin of some of the ingredients, and she’d thought back to Peru and how they hadn’t seen any of the Peruvian Vipertooth dragons that were supposedly in the region they’d landed in after leaving the Leaky. She doubted that they were going to be using a Vipertooth heart anyhow, but the connection had still clicked in her head. First she had other steps to worry about though, and after casting Aguamenti, she’d quickly measured out two litres of water and added it to her cauldron. That was easy enough, as was carefully dropping the two unicorn tail hairs into the liquid. The only question she had was if they were supposed to already have the fires lit under their cauldrons.
That had been quickly answered, even before she’d been able to ask, as the next step had been given. Time to deal with the dragon heart, but first, she’d leaned down to point her wand under her cauldron and light the flame with a quick Incendio. It shouldn’t take too long to retrieve the heart after all, even if she had to measure it out. Waiting until the line had gone down, she approached the desk where Professor Culloden had set the box containing the heart. Glancing down, she took a moment to try and estimate what she thought was two kilograms. The fact a good portion had already disappeared into the other students’ cauldrons made that easier, and she used a quick Severing charm to cut off a portion to set on the scale. Not quite two kilograms, but after cutting off another tiny portion, she took her allotment and returned to her workstation. Carefully placing the heart into her cauldron with the water and hairs, she adjusted the flame underneath to high and turned her attention back to her journal after they had been given the next step. She had time before it boiled, so she figured it was as good a time as any to write down the notes.
She’d kept an eye on her potion, though, and set the journal down as she noticed it had started to boil. Time for the pomegranate. It didn’t seem like they had to do anything to it, either. She’d seen West simply add the whole thing, so she followed suit. The potion must dissolve it or something. She didn’t see how else it would work, unless they were going to have to strain out the hull later on. So far the potion had seemed easy to brew, though, and she didn’t think straining it made a lot of sense. Either way, she was going to wait for the next step before she did anything.
