HE WAS MISSING THE RUNESPOOR EGGS.

Someone dial the emergency hotline! Call the wizard cops! Don't just stand there, DO SOMETHING!!!

Oh wait. They were sitting on Culloden's desk, weren't they? Uhum. Right. He knew that all along. That's a relief. Zander was totally close to having a meltdown. It's a good thing he remained so calm and didn't jump to any conclusions whatsoever. Thank Merlin he isn't at all dramatic. It pays off to have a calm kid around. 'Cause that's definitely Zander Adair. Cool, calm, and collected. Always. His very own 3 C's of potion making.

.... Right.

Getting up from his workstation, the Gryffindor walked over to get the Runespoor egg concoction thing before walking back to his cauldron and dropping it in there. So that was step fourteen down... Which meant he had to wait seven minutes. Which would take a while so he was gonna just not stare at the clock and instead whi out the last few ingredients for the potion just to make sure everything was ready. Sevenish minutes later (and not seven seconds later because oops?), Zander looked into his cauldron once more. So uh, it looked like a potion? That was a good sign. But he didn't know anything else. How were they supposed to know how much progress they had made. Or if it was right?

They wouldn't.

Or at least Zander didn't think he could tell. So moving on. "Recordo," he practiced the incantation slowly, "Ré-core-DOH". There. "Recordo! Alright. And what was the wand movement again...? Uh. He really had to dig deep to remember this one. It had something to do with the moon, right? WAIT YES. Exactly. A full moon. It was a circle! He was READY. "Recordo!" he drew a circle over the potion and everything. HEH.

.... Except he was missing the most important part and he just now remembered. There was a memory involved. A really strong one. Which meant it had to have tons of emotional value. Which meant... Sad or really happy. Which meant, y'know. He was gonna use the same memory he had used with his failed patronus attempt. Maybe it wasn't strong enough for his patronus, but it could be strong enough for the potion? Who knew. Not Zander. That's who.

So this time, he held his wand up for real. Trying to think about his happy memory as hard as he could before, "Recordo!" Drawing the circle carefully and everything. That seemed to do it... Maybe? He wasn't actually sure. Uh. Moving on.

For his last bit: the aconite roots. In they went. One by one. Every last one of 'em. Until he had gotten rid of all seven.

Now uh, he was done right?
