Clean metal stirrer in hand, the Gryffindor cautiously dipped its end into the liquid before lowering more into it and then proceeding with the stirs. His concentration solely on his actions at the moment.
One...two...three...four...five...six...seven stirs clockwise.
There...all done...and correctly. As for the next step, this was where all the trouble began. In his defense it wasn't HIS fault. Picking up the measured dog fur with his fingers, he absently looked around for others besides him and Adi. You know, like sneezing Astronomy professors. When the cost was clear, and ten seconds had roughly passed, he gingerly moved his finger tips over the potion, sprinkling the fur a top of the entire mixture as evenly as he could manage.
The Professor watched his Student with eyes like a hawk, counting all the stirs. Yep, seven in total and all in a clockwise direction. Adi was PLEASED! Benny was going to have a... STELLAR (as The Suit would say) potion by the time everything was done.
Next up, the dog fur. He noticed the slight hesitation and looking around on his friend's part though he didn't know what that was all about but he let the matter drop when the fur was added and he immediately fixed his attention on his watch. Adi reached for Benny's parchment and quill to scribble down the exact time for which the next step should be done.
"Well done, Dragon! Fifty points to Gryffindor for excellent brewing skills!" Hehe. Too bad prefects couldn't assign points... but then again, this was the exact reason they couldn't. It would be an abuse of power. Anyway...
"Here's the time for your next step. Remember you have to do this at the EXACT time in SEVEN days. Also, don't forget to check on your flame everyday.'' Actually, Benny didn't have to worry about that latter bit since Adi would be checking it too.
"I think we're done here for now. Let's clean up and go hangout somewhere.'' Seeeeee? He was trying to make it up to Benny for making him feel insecure earlier.
