Huh, just add it. Marsha watched as Cutty added his own boomslang to his own potion and she nodded her head in understanding. ”Thanks Cutty!” She said with a grin as she turned back around to face her own potion, picked up the two parts of skin and then dropped them in; just like Cutty had. She probably even, maybe copied his attitude and stance while she did it. What? He was funny.

Grinning as she started to wait for five minutes, she looked to the larvae. Ten of them she needed. So, she slowly began to separate the eggs from the gloopy lump they were part of in their ingredients and while making a face counted out the ten that she was going to need when the five minutes were over.

However, as she waited for that she looked around at everyone else who were just coming to the end of their potions. Putting their samples in tubes and such. So, to get ready for that she took out a few of her own bottles and made sure that they were still as clean as they were last time.

Okay, so antidote. Marsha frowned. She didn’t really know much about antidotes, but might as well give it a guess so up her hand went. ”Professor, I was reading a Herbology book and it said that Mandrakes were used a lot in antidotes… would they would to reverse this potion...s?” Was it a single potion with various outcomes or various potions with one main outcome? Hmm. She didn’t really know the answer to that one either.

OH! That was five minutes. So in went the newt larvae and she held her breath. Luckily, she didn’t need to hold it for long as her potion slowly cleared as if… well, by magic! Hehehe. She slowly let out her breath as it turned to look glass like, almost like the full reflection of a dead calm, clear lake. Not like the black lake here at school though… Nope.

Grinning over her shoulder at Cutty, she smiled wide at him. ”Thank you! It worked.” Or, at least from what she could tell it worked. There was a distinct difference but the Professor would be the one to tell her that at a later point.

Now, she needed to collect a sample of the base potion, so she did that carefully first while she decided which of the emotion she wanted to try and replicate. Then she was ready to tackle the last part. Changing it from a base potion that looked like water into a potion that would do something! Exciting. She loved potions.

Ferret fur.

Right. She took a handful and then dropped some of it back into the container. There, that should do it. She then transferred the fur from her right hand to her left hand and picked up the stirrer with her right now.

Ready. Set. GO!

She sprinkled the fur slightly awkwardly with her left hand as she began to stir the potion with her right. Clockwise, as fast as she could, without spilling the actual potion. Once she had let all of the fur into the potion she rested her hand on the desk as she continued to stir until all of the fur had dissolved. It took her potion 42 seconds, but she hoped that didn’t mean she had done anything wrong. She glanced at the temperature and it was still at 100 degrees, so she figured it must be okay. Right?

She carefully decanted another two vials and marked them with her name, house, class and the type of potion she had chosen. There! She was done.

However, she, like Rusty was reallly unsure how the whole emptying of the cauldron went. Again, it was something that she was practicing each time she had class, but had never managed to get it right. Maybe today would be the first. ”Evan-Esko.” Nope, not at thing.

”Professor, is this potion safe to put down the sink, or can you vanish it for me? I can’t get the spell to work for me.” Siiighhh.
