So he added all this into his notes somewhat reluctantly, but dutifully. You had to learn about all the potions that were taught, not just pick and choose. Before even getting started, he copied the ingredients and instructions that were already written there on his parchment too, and then set up all the ingredients required that he had in his potions kit.

"Ap-toh press-soo-rah," Toby repeated under his breath, even as he got everything ready. "Ap-TOH press-soo-raaaaaaah. Ap-toh press-soo-rah. Apto pressure." Yeah, okay. Nailed it. He took his wand out, too, to practice the movement. A single vertical line. Yep. Nailed it again.

He'd just pointed his wand at the empty cauldron and cleaned it again, before filling it halfway up with a simple 'Aguamenti' charm, when he noticed that Kyroh, sat beside him as usual, still hadn't gotten started. Toby blinked, waited a few more moments to see if something would happen, before eventually leeeeeeaning over and giving him a gentle poke. Or two. Or three.

"Kyyyyyroh. This is your Toby speaking." That... was probably obvious. "You gonna get started, bud?" ... "Culloden might eat you if not." It was funny, see? 'Cause they both knew it wouldn't happen. That Culloden was a big squishy teddy bear, not a big scary dragon like he'd have you believe. "I can offer bribes if necessary, but most of them involve hugs."

Though he was pretty sure those would work.

FOR NOW THOUGH, Toby turned back to his cauldron to try that spell on the water. Seemed... pretty integral to get it correct. Like, more integral than usual, judging by Culloden's... conviction about getting it right.

"Apto pressure." Vertical line going down, yep. Nailed it yet again. Well, maybe. They'd see in a minute, if the water didn't start boiling when he got it to the right temperature. Speaking of which...

"Incendio." A fire was lit under the cauldron, and he raised the heat, keeping watch to get the water to 100 degrees. It would be keeping it there that would be difficult.

And, as always, Toby kept on looking over to Kyroh. Just LOOKING OUT for him, y'know.

He was about to give his cauldron one last good squeeze before a poke pulled him out of his hugging trance. His Toby. Yes. Hi! The fourth year beamed at the older boy. Tucking a few loose strains of hair behind his ear he nodded. "I don't need brides! I'm going to start. S'not a difficult Potion." Did Toby know that he had spent the rest of summer, apart of Quidditch Camp working a potions apprentice??? Probably not. Because he hadn't told him. But he would!

...Once he caught up.

Opening his notebook, the fourth year quickly began to write.

Putting down his quill, he took out his wand. Scourgifying both his hands he pointed his wand inside his cauldron. "Scourgify!". Glancing inside he nodded with approval before starting on the first step. With his wand still in his cauldron, Kyroh's mouth opened again. "Aguamenti" As the water began to fill, brown eyes watched patently for the moment when the it reached exactly halfway. Ending the spell, Kyroh gazed down at his notes at the next step.

New spell, right. Apto pressura. Slowly his mouth formed the words."Ap-toh press-soo-rah. Apto pressura." He repeated the word quietly until his mouth had gone dry. "Apto pressura!" Making a straight vertical line downward Kyroh then pointed to the bottom of his cauldron. ""Incendio!".

Grabbing his thermometer he scourgifyed it and stuck it in the water. It was line he was in some sort of trance. Not a hug trance. But potion making one. Kyroh's attention was 150% on the task at hand. He probably wouldn't even notice if a troll entered the room that very instant.

Which had happened before......

So it could happen again.....

Taking out his favourite knife and cutting board, Kyroh cleaned them both (just to make sure) before resting the lovage onto the board. The severing charm worked well enough, but he found that when it came to potions it wasn't as exact as using an actual knife. Quickly he began to chop the lovage while still keeping note of the thermometer.

80˚C. 85˚C.

One sprig was cut up finely.

90˚C. The second sprig was done and- 100˚C. Yup. It was stuck there, too. Sticking his tongue out Kyroh dumped the cut lovage into the cauldron. Waiting EXACTLY five seconds he added in the four mistletoe berries.

Sighing gently, he turned to Toby and grinned. "All caught up, see!"
