"Sure thing. What you wanna do is make an 'S', like this," She said, drawing one with her wand so he could see. "Don't make it too exaggerated, it has to be just right, then you try the incantation 'Scourgify' while aiming at the things you want clean." That was simple enough, yeah? "Go on, give it a try." While she waited on this ten minutes to be up.

An 'S'. Dima could do that. He wiggled his wand about in a somewhat shapely 'S' form. Was that too exaggerated? Too... un-exaggerated? Just right? It just looked like an 'S', not something describable, so he just moved on to saying the incantation. "Scourgify." Scourgify. Scouuurgify.

"Scourgify!" As he said the incantation, the first year pointed his wand at his mortar and wiggled his wand about again.

No more washbasin usage for him, nuh-uh!

"Thanks!" See, she wasn't ALL bad.

While waiting for the rest of the time to pass, Dima cleaned everything else that could possibly need cleaning: the pestle, glass bowl, wooden stick, tabletop, his SHOE... what? It looked all shiny now! He beamed at it and went ahead, doing the other one too. Could he do his CLO-

Oh. Ten minutes were up? He dropped in a fang, then eyed his fire.

How... did you stop a spell?

Somewhat deflated, he took his glass bowl and headed to the washbasin again. AGAIN. The kid filled it with a small amount of water, then brought it back to his burner and dipped his fingers into the liquid. He sprinkled it over the flames until they died out, and the burner was relatively dry still.

After that, Dima added the second fang and grabbed his wooden spoon. His concoction got one last counterclockwise stir, and then he set it aside on the napkin. Peering over the cauldron, he noted the bright yellow color. He was done! A couple additions to his notes, and he could move on.

Once done with his scribbling, Dima dropped his quill and listened to the professor's instructions again. They had to DRINK it? And worse, someone else's? He glanced at the contents of his cauldron again, suddenly feeling sick. It was one think to use dragon hearts and creature bloods in his brewing, since they had already been taken and all... but DRINKING it would just make him feel worse. It was worse.

Nope. He wasn't doing it.

But after how Culloden had yelled at Kyroh, he wasn't eager to challenge his directions. Dima instead glanced at Lex again. They would be partners, right? He hoped she wasn't exceptionally good at potions or anything, because then his lack of exemplary strength would DEFINITELY be noticed.

... but he wasn't gonna drink that. Nuh-uh. Sorry, professor man.

Could they make potions with flowers next time?
