OHHHH, Aguamenti! Maddie had seen the boy from the wall performing the spell and she watched him VERY carefully, noting his movement and the amount of water that came out of his wand when he performed the spell. He SEEMED to have done it successfully so she'd just mirror his movements and say the incantation as CLEARLY as possible! She could do this and her cup was READY for use.
"Aguamenti!"
HEY, SHE'D DONE IT! And she wasn't TOO sure how pure THIS water was must it must be okay, right? LOTS of people were using their wand for this step so she trusted their judgement. And so the first year measured THREE glasses of the water and added it to the cauldron. WOOP!
Neeext came the Hippogriff feathers! Maddie admired them for a minute or two before doing anything because they were quite interesting, Hippogriff feathers. When she was older could she SEE one in care of magical creatures cause THAT would be cool! Maybe she could ask the professor person if she ever saw him around! YUP, that sounded like a plan to HER. Now HOW many feathers did she need? Checking her LIST, she noted it was TEN.
"One..two..three..four...five..six..seven...eight. ..nine..ten!" All set!
WOW, this next step WAS a bit tricky! Maddie had listened VERY carefully to Culloden but she still checked her notes several times while she worked to MAKE SURE she was doing things right!
FIRST, Maddie cleaned her wooden stirrer! "Scourgify!" It LOOKED good so she held it in her hand and THEN counted to ten! "One..two..three..four...five..six..seven...eight. .nine..ten!" OKAY, Stirring counter clockwise ONCE, CHECK! Then she counted to TWENTY which took LONGER, obviously! When she got to TWENTY, she then stirred CLOCKWISE once! WOOP! THEN she counted to THIRTY which took even LONGER! PHEW, potions was HARD! When she got to THIRTY, she stirred COUNTER CLOCKWISE again and then put the wooden stirrer DOWN.
All set!
