OOC: Oops. But they did have to wave their wands, so that's all he's asking about then

Waiting?! Culloden was right, that was Olly's least favorite part. At least there was something to do while they waited. He went to grab one of the eggs from Culloden's desk. While he was up there he also grabbed another piece of candy to eat.

The big question was how to break the egg. It was frozen after all, and was not just going to break easily. But they had tables. Olly simply slammed his egg down on the table in front of him and it broke into pieces. One, two, three pieces. But he needed...how many? Right, eight of course. He set the two smallest pieces off to the side and slammed the big one down onto the table again. It broke into four, giving him six pieces total. So Olly took two of the pieces and managed to break them in half. There, eight.

"Professor, does it matter if the pieces aren't the same size?" There was no way he was going to be able to break an egg into eight equal sized pieces. But that had not been part of the instructions, so he figured it was fine.

Wait, what time had it been when he went up to get the egg? Olly really had no idea how long had passed since then. How long had he been waiting? He scrutinized the potion, as if that might tell him how long it had been sitting. Um. It seemed like a long time, so he decided to just go for it. He dumped all eight pieces of the egg into his cauldron and grabbed his metal stirrer. Stirring vigorously was something he could do. He continued to do it until the potion changed color. Purple, right? It looked alright so far.
