Text Cut: Hady

Returning to her seat after acquiring her little cup of elixir, Brooklyn was determined to make sure she had her escape before she actually drank it. She wasn’t about to risk herself before she knew Hady had the ingredients for the antidote, at least. Preferably not until it was started, but as the professor had instructed them to start, she glanced at the cup in her hand. She couldn’t stall forever, even if she was still experiencing flashbacks from the fear potion. She’d hoped she would never have to go back there, go back to feeling helpless, but it seemed Hogwarts had a different idea. She wasn’t about to back down, though. Taking it was just another example of showing she wasn’t weak.

As Hady had returned with the ingredients, she brought the cup to her lips and drank. She’d scrunched her nose in distaste as it slid down her throat. Rather expectedly, it had tasted horrible. She would have thought the professor could have managed to make it taste good, or at least be tasteless. Like Veritaserum was supposed to be, but apparently not. No matter how diluted it was, the poison couldn’t be masked entirely.

For a second, though, all she could sense was the aftertaste. But then, a slowly creeping up feeling came over her and she pulled her legs up onto the chair, wrapping her arms around them and resting her head on her knees. At least then maybe she could hold herself together. At least then maybe she could manage to hide how not well she was. Plus, it helped the spinning.

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.
