Woohoo, last steps! Norah was so close she could practically taste her success, but what with the weird feeling in her stomach and the spider she was supposed to TOUCH, maybe tasting things wasn't a very good idea. Gulp. Spiders. The second year shuddered, looked at the spider, and shuddered again. She could deal with leeches and teeth and all sorts of weird stuff, but spiders were just...awful. Making an executive decision, Norah shed her gloves and picked up her wand. Maybe she could try and make it fly in there or something. What was the incantation again? Her eyebrows furrowed. Was it Wingardium LeviOsa or LevioSA? Eh, it was worth a shot anyways. Performing a swish and a flick, she said "Wingardium Leviosa!" and watched as the creature was levitated into her cauldron. And she couldn't see it anymore, thank merlin. How's THAT for problem solving, eh?

Norah consulted her notes for the final steps. She cleaned her gloves and put them back on before picking up a crocodile tooth and dropping it in the potion. And now it was supposed to...grumble? How was a potion supposed to grumble. She stared at the potion as he began to clean up her workstation, performing the Scourgify charm far more times than she wanted to ever again. Had it grumbled yet and she'd just missed it? She peered into the cauldron and grinned as a grumbling sound met her ears. AHA! What a grumpy little potion. She added the second crocodile tooth and VOILA! All done. She was pleased to see her potion was a bright red just like Culloden had said it should be. Norah squelched the urge to perform a celebratory twirl and instead grinned almost manically around the room. Maybe it was all the cleaning, or maybe just that there hadn't been a lot of heating going on in this potion, but she had DONE IT. So THERE. Now, where was her prize?
