Huh? What was that at his ea- oh! Mikey!

Hi Mikey!

Dima tried to flick him back and ended up almost falling out of his chair. "I'll ask you for help next time!" 'Cause obviously, there would be a next time. Nobody had taught him how to do ANY of the spells needed. Crash course on cleaning and fire and water magic before the next lesson please?

Had he taken it that personally? Her gaze fell on Mikey. "He could have asked me too. I'm sitting here and saved the seat for him." Not Mikey, not Grayson. Which reminded her. Hazel eyes now on Grayson. "Next time he asks for help, tell him that's my job." Got it?

Now then, she turned to Dima and gave him a little nudge. "You're not upset are you? It was only a joke, a joke at the Professor and see it's fine, only I got in trouble." Don't take it so personally. Merlin, what was he, a Puffer? "If it makes you feel better I guess I'm sorry. Didn't think you'd be that upset." Was she the only one who could appreciate a joke?

.......................... Lex had to go and unleash her inner feisty.

Rawr.

On second thoughts, no. Just no.

Eyebrows were being raised as he looked over at her. Jeez, one of the few times he was being NICE and HELPFUL, somebody had to go and berate him for it? Merlin. And to think people asked why he was the way he was. He also didn't expect this from ALEXA, who he had almost gone on to call one of the cool Prefects. That was a big compliment coming from the fourth year.

"Just thought I'd help the kid out." Since he asked for him specifically. Meaning that the Slytherin was doing something right and little Dima wanted to learn from him. ~~Who wouldn't?~~ His blue eyes glanced over at the Professor quickly before looking back at the Gryffindor. Sigh. This was going to take a lot out of him. "I'll keep that in mind, then." He shot her a small, albeit a bit forced, smile before heading back to his seat. Jeez.

"I didn't want to ask you," Dima said matter-of-factly, sitting up somewhat straighter in his seat. Yeah. He wanted to ask GRAYSON, 'cause that guy was nice and shared Bertie Bott's Beans with him and gave him a cool nickname and didn't LIE to possibly get him in trouble.

Not upset? Did this LOOK like not upset? Hmph.

.... she was apologizing, though? He paused, then peeked over at her. "I guess.... if you're sorry..."

But no more tricks. That was uncool.

And Grayson was leaving. "Bye Grayson!" Dima waved enthusiastically and almost fell out of his chair again.

And a metal spoon," he eyed everyone again, including that boy (Zander), "C'mere, take a cup of re'em blood from the container I'll put on my desk in a moment, pour it into the bowl with salamander blood and stir them five times clockwise, five times counter clockwise. Once done, set the bowl aside and crush the griffin claw. It doesn't have to be perfectly powdered, just crush as well as you can. Use NO magic while crushing!"

It seemed that with talking to Mikey and Lex and Grayson, he'd killed enough time to have his potion boiling already. The bubbles were already there when Dima peered back into his cauldron, and he grabbed his pomegranate. Did they have to... open it? Just the seeds? No? Nothing? Okay then.

Plop. Pomegranate in.

He noted the professor's answer to what Maddie had asked about that ingredient in particular as he jotted down more things on his parchment. Per Culloden's next instructions, Dima located a glass bowl and began measuring out the blood needed. Marcus Orion had asked about the blood too, hadn't he? Did it hurt animals too? He would have asked, but the way the professor had yelled at Kyroh... he wasn't keen. No thank you.

So he got a cup of re'em blood and the amount of blood that was in a mature salamander and dumped them in his bowl together. Voila. Since he still didn't know the cleaning spell and couldn't pick it up just from watching others, Dima waddled over to the washbasin again on his little legs and sterilized his wooden spoon. He brought his mortar and pestle along as well, scrubbing it spotless before returning to his station with his materials.

THEN he began stirring. First he went one... two.... threefourfive times around clockwise, and then the same number of counts the other way. Once he was finished with that, he set his spoon to the side on a napkin and pulled the mortar closer. Dima daintily placed his powdered griffin claw inside.

And took up the pestle and CRUSHED the contents of his mortar. Yeah! CRUSHCRUSHCRUSH.

Raaah! Who needed a strength potion? He was SUPER STRONG already!

But he crushed anyway. As soon as the Potions Masterannounced that the five minutes were up, he dumped the blood mixture into his cauldron. Immediately after that, the crushed up claw went in as well, and Dima examined the weird looking potion so far. ... he didn't wanna drink that.

It was still cool, though!
