Verrrry easy indeed. Sophie already had her two snake fangs ready to go, but she would need to clean her gloves again before touching either of them, she decided. Luckily, she had ten whole minutes to do that. So... she checked her watch once, noting when ten minutes would have passed since she added the powder, and removed her gloves so she could busy herself with cleaning everything.

She took her time to cast a thorough "Scourgify" on her gloves, the mortar and pestle, the cup, the bowl, her metal spoon, the tabletop, and anything else she thought might need a cleaning, including her hands, until she had only killed off five minutes of time. Well. Then what was she supposed to do? With her snake fangs already set aside on a tissue, ready to be added to the potion, she let herself peek into the cauldron and note the color of its contents. Bloody. Very charming.

She set her wand aside and pulled out a self-inking quill and some parchment, keeping an eye on the time as she wrote down everything they had done so far, and little helpful things here and there like don't crush the pomegranate and don't use magic to crush the griffin claw. All was fine and dandy until people were shouting at each other and Sophie turned just in time to see Culloden livid. The scary, soft kind where he looked like his head might explode if he didn't raise his voice and properly yell soon. It bothered her to see him have to deal with irresponsible kids, but there was nothing she could do about it but mind her own business. So Sophie forced herself to try to look really, really into her note-taking, despite the commotion going on behind her, until the ten minutes was up and she added a single snake fang to the potion with a gloved hand. So... what about the other, then? Was that next?
