Not quite? So... it wasn't exactly a beard-growing potion. Aww, it would've been interesting. "
Too bad, Professor, it would've been such a funny thing to see. Possibly beard-whipping could've happened," Vivi said, then flashed a small smile at Professor Oldiepants. "
But that's okay! Maybe we could do that in another lesson." She was going to stay hopeful about that. Besides, who wouldn't want BEARDS? They could stroke it and braid it all day! She giggled at the thought of it.
Ooooohhhh, an aging potion!!! Well, her answer was close enough! Vivian wiggled on her seat. There was a small small chance she would grow a beard in this lesson! It was exciting... EXCITING! The blonde immediately took out her handy dandy notebook, glittery quill, and her puhrettayyy
PURPLE ink. So much YES in this entire thing! If she were to take down notes, then she would do it in style. Did she need a partner in this? Oh, definitely not. She'd survive on her own! Gotta trust her own skills. She was totally looking forward to an awesomesauce lesson!
Once she took down everything written on the board, she looked back at the Professor. Right, so... measuring cups and little bowls. Got it. The tiny girl scurried to get those too, and the ingredients as well. With that done, she carried all of them, though her tiny arms were struggling a bit, but she managed to reach her seat before they could fall. Would've been a waste. PHEW!
Look it! Her first spell to learn. The cleaning spell her mum would use at home whenever they made a mess, thought mummy Vanya never really said the incantation out loud. Healers were so... quiet. Non-verbal magic, perhaps? Interesting, really. Vivi paid much attention to it. Sc... scourgify. She had to remember that. She practiced the hand movement as well. It was just a simple S, so no big deal there. Vivi pointed her wand at her cauldron. "
Scourgify!" she said with the S hand movement. "
Hey, it worked!" Shiny and clean cauldron! Yay! She knew her Auntie Elise would be so proud of her! Vivi wiggled on her seat.
Moving on... to preparing the ingredients! Woohoo!
SPOILER!!: Vivian's notebook!
