A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
You know what? Potions wasn’t such a bad subject when he got the steps right. Actually, he didn’t hate the subject but he hated failing and most of the times he missed a step which caused him to ..well, fail his potion. But not today. He felt good making this potion. Not that he suddenly became good at it but maybe there was something in the air that gave him a confidence boost. Not to mention that he was actually SMILING while adding 8? Yeah 8 atropa bellandonna berries one by one in to the cauldron.
He scratched out this step with his pink flamingo quill to keep track of the steps he had already done and it made it easier for him to see which step would be the next one. Which was sprinkling alihotsy. He grabbed some with his gloved hand and sprinkled the leaves in a circle and in to the cauldron. Easy peasy. Why did he ever thought potions was difficult? Or maybe this love potion was an easy one? Mweh. Next, he waved his wand and watched as the colour turned to dark red.
Watching the Professor walking to the front of the classroom again and tapping his wand at the blackboard, Yoongi read the next few steps and chuckled. He didn’t mind the waiting though, as he knew they had to do other things in the meantime. He set his watch on 13 minutes as he had a brass cauldron today. Grabbing a frozen Ashwinder egg, the sixth year looked at it and wondered how he was going to break it in to exactly 8 pieces. Also, what was up with the number 8? He had heard Sophie telling out loud what the 8 represented but seriously, too much Ravenclaw words you know? Anyways, he used the flat part of the cleaned knife to break the egg and when it fell apart he counted the parts and sighed when he had gotten less pieces than 8. Placing his stuff down on his workstation, Yoongi moved to the front of the class to grab another egg from the Professor’s desk.
Alright, second try. He tried it again, and failed a second time. “oh come on” he mumbled to himself as he got up yet again to grab another egg. He knew SOMETHING would go wrong in this class. Apparently it was the egg breaking part. Trying it for the third time, the same method as earlier he finally managed to get exactly 8 pieces and he grinned. Even gave himself a shoulder pat. He was awesome wasn’t he?
He checked his watch and noticed that he still had a couple of minutes left so in that time, the Gryffindor pointed his wand at the egg mistakes and vanished them into non-being. Such a nice, almost clean desk he had now~ Hearing his watch go off, Yoongi clicked a button to turn off the sound and checked the blackboard. He added the egg parts and then grabbed a metal stick. He placed it in the potion and began to stir ….eh…vigorously clockwise, trying to make sure he didn’t spill the potion over the cauldron.
