 Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Woah woah woah.
It seemed all of a sudden they were doing too many things at once, at least in Benny's mind and the third year was writing furiously in his notes. The boy wanting to make sure each and every instruction the professor was giving was carefully and correctly written down to copy. It was when this happened that the chances of mistake were higher so he was trying to limit his worries. Then taking a deep breath, the Gryffindor start forth to begin them all.
First and foremost...lowering the heat under the cauldron which he did with a move of his wand. Glancing then at his watch, Benny calculated the 5 minutes he would need to wait before moving on to the other steps. "Scourgify," he cast on a bowl, a cup and a spoon as previously directed, glancing again at his watch as he was done. Still plenty of time and everything was plenty clean so on to the next part.
One portion of re’em blood and one portion of salamander blood, each poured into the scourgified bowl. Then taking the spoon he had cleaned as well, he stirred the mixture, first 5 times clockwise and then 5 times counter clockwise. The third year extra careful on his directional stiring remembering the trouble he had had last year. “Scourgify,” he cast once more on his mortar and pestle before placing the griffin claw within to start crushing it.
No magic here, just good old elbow grease.
Once it was fairly powdered, the professor called time. It was time for the hardest part where it had to be done precise and without fail. Putting aside the pestle, Benny took the bowl in one hand and the mortar in the other so they could be done right after each other without hesitation to pick the second up. Then he took a deep breath and started to slowly pour the blood mixture as directed. And when it was finally finished, with the mast drop added, the Gryffindor quickly added the powdered griffin claw. Perhaps even a little too quickly.
