Maddie had waited the week, rather impatiently, and returned to the lab ready to work. Perhaps she was so eager because she was nearing the end of her time on the potion now, having only about seven or so steps left. It wouldn't be a walk in the park or anything but she was up to the challenge. Besides, she liked the lab. It was quiet and she felt comfortable in here. At home, even.
After cleaning the space around her cauldron, the second year got a hold of her caterpillar with clean gloved hands and placed it in front of her. She then focused on the knife. "Scourgify." Handling it carefully, she then cut into the small creature with wrinkled nose. Five equal pieces, yes? Poor thing.
When she'd finished cutting, the brunette added each piece one at a time as directed. No more Mr. caterpillar.
The next step was a bit strange. Maddie didn't exactly know an unfortunate story off the top of her head so she eyed her potion and thought on it for a minute or two. It was then that she found inspiration.
Swirling her wand above the potion, she started. "It's unfortunate that my brothers don't listen to me. Like when Vin decided that I was bluffing when I told him if he didn't take me to return my books to the library, I'd make him miss his date. Well he must have thought I bluffing because I got a late fee in the mail but he did miss his date when I hid his bike so he couldn't get to his girlfriend's house." There. That situation had been unfortunate...for him. She stopped swirling her wand when she'd finished, a small smile playing on her lips. Another step done.
"Incendio." After lighting a low flame, the brunette cleaned and packed up her things again before heading out. Nearly done now.
