All for science.

Maddison watched the interaction between freckles and Culloden and was both surprised and sort of happy to see the guy wasn't as scary as he'd seemed originally. Good to know in case she ever wanted to go to him for Potion questions. Likely since Maddie had TONS of questions already and this was only her first lesson. And speaking of questions, he'd answered hers AND she got smiles too. Lucky her, huh? She smiled faintly in return and then peered into her cauldron, wondering what this would taste like when it was done. The pomegranate couldn't have that much of a impact on the overall taste, could it? You'd probably need more than one to make a significant difference. No time to ponder too much on taste, though. They were moving on now! The small brunette sat up a bit and watched Culloden, noting his mood and the way he gave instructions. It was as if he was already anticipating that they'd mess up the steps. Interesting.

5 minutes. Maddie lowered the heat and then as soon as she had, she set to work cleaning the tools she'd be using. First she cleaned the bowl, then the cup, then the metal spoon. All using the handy dandy spell she'd learned ALL by herself TODAY. She was SO good at magic all ready. Heh. Like there was ever any doubts she would be. Anyway...once those were clean, Maddie took her clean cup up to the front and carefully measured the re'em blood, filling the cup and carefully returning to her seat.

Once there, Maddie set the cup down and picked up the cup of Salamander blood. She added that to the clean bowl, then added in the re'em blood she'd gotten, and then she picked up her spoon. Time was running out, yeah? She needed to be quick!

5 times clockwise. Maddison stirred quickly but carefully and then she continued, stirring 5 times counterclockwise too. Then she cleaned the spoon, set it down, and moved the bowl to the side. That part was done quickly enough and then it was time to focus on the griffin claw which was SO cool, by the way.

After cleaning the mortar and pestle, Maddie placed the claw in and began to crush it. She kept a watchful eye on the time as she did just so she didn't go over the time limit the Professor dude set out. He seemed strict when it came to stuff like that and she didn't want her potion to blow up or anything. So she crushed...crushed...crushed the claw, waiting for the powder to form.

Five minutes had to be up by now.
