Thankfully they had the option to work alone, she wanted to make sure her first potion was done correctly and she didn't mess up. This way, by working alone, she had control of it.
As she hummed slightly at the 90 minutes she nodded her head, sighing as she tried to look through all the ingredients already in her possession. she found that she was only missing the liquids, good. She quickly stood up from her place and walked to the front, carefully measuring the Red Wine and Prince Juice before shuffling back to her place, too scared to even stumble and fall.
A sigh of relaxation fell over her as she carefully sat down before biting her lip. Maybe taking notes was a good idea.
After taking the entirety of the notes, she relaxed a bit, realising that it didn't seem that difficult. After she heard him explaining to light the flame underneath the cauldron she suddenly realised that she forget to do something. It took her a few second but then she remembered she saw him clean the cauldron with the spell and she quickly grabbed her wand, remembering what he did exactly.
As she pointed to the cauldron. "Scourgify."
Fantastic, were things already going wrong at a simple task like this? After two more tries, she luckily got it and quickly cleaned the tools as well. The professor was doing his thing, explaining and already making the potion. She just hoped her notes were enough to help her through. Quote:

Considering she was already setting her stuff up, it felt rude to ask the girl to pack and go somewhere else so instead she nodded. "Of course, it's fine with me." Jessica's voice was gentle. Though it was gentle it was easily heard. She smiled slightly up before looking over her notes one more time.
The girl performed her cleaning spell easily and got it right the first time. Even though she shouldn't mind considering she looked a considerable amount older, she couldn't help but feel a bit defeated, making a mental note to herself to practice her spells a lot more.
"Oh, uhm, right.." Jessica was shaken out of her thought the moment the girl asked her the question and she quickly grabbed her notebook to read it over. "Nice to meet you, Echo, my name is Jessica." She smiled back slightly, humming quietly as she read over her notes.
"Okay, since we did the cleaning of our cauldron and stuff, I supposed we need to gather the ingredients and get those ready already. We need 2 grams of mashed hairy fungus so if you could do that for the both of us, I'll try and attack the tortoise shell and get that to powder for us. After that we need 5 grams of sliced caterpillar each, if you would do that as well? Then I'll do the 2 diced bat tongues." She smiled slightly after her explanation, a bit anxious if she said everything right or not.
"Oh, you'll also need 100 ml of red wine and 10 ml of prune juice as there's no water or other liquids involved. I'll get that for you." She smiled softly before making her moves to get it the liquids sorted for Echo.
ohh a take charge kind of girl!!
Echo had a feeling she's going to like this little Hufflepuff, which is weird because she hasn't had to many good interactions with the Hufflepuffs that she had interacted with.
"okay so I'm grabbing the hairy fungus and I'll cut the caterpillars " sweet she's getting to do less work to because this little puff seems to want to do things for her, maybe she will just keep Jessica around.
"thanks Jessica"
First grabbing them enough hairy fungus to mash for them to equal out to 2 grams each so in total 4 grams, she put them in her bowl and started to mash away, with these it was pretty easy, the fungus just seemed to want to be squished, it was quite soft. smiling she finished her task in no time at all. Echo grabbed a scale and weighed both of their mash and it was 2 grams right on the dot.
"okay so the hairy fungus is finished."
Watching Jessica run around and grabbing things she continued on her second task by grabbing a lot of caterpillars and started to slice them nicely, making sure that each slice was the same as the last. Echo cut into one and juice spurted out all over her lab coat.
"ewww, thank goodness I'm wearing this thing" if this landed on her robes she might have vomited right then and there. grabbing a cloth she quickly wiped it away with out looking, she didn't want to get sick.
"Jess did I get it?" hoping Jessica dint have a soft stomach, she finished quickly the cutting of the bugs!
weighing them again she made sure that each Jessica and herself had 5 grams of sliced caterpillars.
"okay so those are done, how are your tasks coming?" she asked her new young acquaintance
