Benzi had decided earlier on this week that he'd only do spells nonverbally from now until his NEWTs. It will definitely look more impressive if he brews up the potion of the decade while simultaneously doing it all without muttering a word, especially if the potion they'd need to make had some sort of special incantation that went along with it. He saw that Outstanding, he wanted that Oustanding and he would definitely be getting that Oustanding.

Just in case anyone had doubts.

After nonverbally cleaning his cauldron, he nonverbally added water and set about to prepare his ingredients as accurately as possible. He'd realised that had been his mistake all these years, and the reason his potions had sometimes gone wrong. If he was exact with his ingredients and precise with his chopping all will be well. Too bad he couldn't nonverbally chop either. That would have been even more impressive.

As it were, Benzi followed the recipe to a T and tried to memorise it as they moved along to save him the trouble of studying it later. After having added the sneezewort petals, he nonverbally lit up the fire, which he always felt like when the potion making process actually started. Anything before that was preparation. He turned it up to maximum then added the sneezewort heads, stirring clockwise eight times with his metal stick. Sneezewort, latin name Achillea ptarmica, leaves can be eaten both cooked and uncooked, and can be used as an insect repellent. It's poisonous to some animals. Look, he studied!

... Would this kill the animals then? What would happen if you gave a cow amorentia? Would it become infatuated with you? What would happen if you gave to ANYTHING that wasn't human? What if you dropped it in a lake, would the fish be affected? What about kneazles? A specific one that liked to lurk around these parts of the castle specifically. Important questions, these were. He'd look them up later. Speaking of questions, Sophie Brown was acting funny. Benzi had been avoiding her as much as possible since the break up since she was Evie's best friend and all that, but today something was up and he was curious. By the looks on their faces, Zander and Culloden seemed slightly perturbed too.

Hmm. Thinking cap on.
