Post 1: Collecting ingredients and crushing Bezoar Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium SPOILER!!: Brooklyn
There was a reason why she worked well with Hady. There was almost an unspoken communication thing going on, since they rarely had to say much to each other to know what was happening. Brooklyn knew the relief that went through Hady, even though her housemate hadn’t really let anything on as to her feelings. Just the simple return exchange of her name, and then both had chosen to pay attention to the explanation of what was happening in the lesson.
At that point, Brooklyn had flashbacks of the fear potion. How helpless she’d felt, how defensive. Hoe paranoid afterward due to the attack that had happened while she, Cutty and Ethan had been under the influence. Plus, she hardly trusted Professor Newton enough to believe that nothing would happen. She knew better than to telegraph that, and her expression had nearly been identical to Hady’s as she’d turned back to her. At least she knew she’d be able to brew the antidote, but there was still that question. Who should go first?
“I will,” she finally said. Considering they’d both have to take it, she might as well get it over with. Not that she really believed it was diluted enough not to hurt them. She just trusted that Hady would save her. Neither of them would leave cat orphans today. As such, she got up and approached the professor to retrieve her portion of the poison. Hopefully they’d have time before they had to drink it.
With Brooklyn sat at her table in silent confirmation that the two of them were partners through this Hady felt a bit better. She knew from past experience that the two of them worked well together and not much talking was needed at all to do. It was an unspoken communication they had and honestly she was so used to it she had grown fond of it. So as instructions were given out not much was to be said.
Since Brooklyn said that she would drink the potion first Hady agreed with a nod of her head. This was fine by her. Her potion making skills were fairly decent (nothing had blown up on her). Getting to her feet the snake made her way to the front of the room where she collected everything she would need to brew a successful antidote for her partner.
Returning to their workstation Hadleigh laid everything out neatly so she would be able to see where things were as she needed them. Using her wand she gave the ingredients a nice 'scourgify' before getting started. Things needed to be clean, right? Grabbing her quill and parchment she first wrote down all the notes from the board. So far so good. A quick look to the girl beside her to see how she was doing before beginning.
Taking the Bezoar she put it into the mortar as she pulled it closer towards her so she wouldn't have to reach across the table. Then with the pestle in hand she began crushing the bezoar into a very fine powder. This took a few moments as she had to make sure it wasn't clumpy at all, which she did by moving the mortar around so it adjusted the powder inside. Using her weight helped with this and soon enough she had a nicely crushed bezoar powder. One step down.
