How she was going to get it to powder she had no idea, but well, she'd make it work. She took a deep breath just to give herself some confidence before she started to get her and Echo some powdered tortoise shell.

She glanced up slightly once Echo finished the hairy fungus, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Fantastic, one more thing to go." With a slight chuckled she continued to get it powdered down, being just over half way done.

As she could hear Echo's voice full of disgust, she giggled slightly. "That's absolutely disgusting, oh dear. I'm glad it's just on your lab coat though." Once she was finished with the shell, she sat back, her forehead covered in sweat while she used the back of her hand to push the hair out of her face, looking over to her partner. "I am so glad you made each slice the same honestly, it would have given me anxiety otherwise." She laughingly said, taking a deep breath before sitting up again and grabbing the bat tongue.

"Only these tongues to cut up and then we're done with the ingredients, thankfully." She quickly cut up the tongues, handing Echo her bits of her bat tongue in a bowl before smiling as she put the knife down.

"Ingredients done, which means... potion time." As she glanced at her notebook she quickly read the second point. "Slowly heat the red wine and prune juice. Stir clockwise until bubbles form and the colour should be dark purple brownish at that point. After that we have to add the hairy fungus and stir for 10 minutes, still clockwise"

She looked over at Echo while organising her own things in order that they would need it and then started to carefully light her burner, placing her cauldron on it while she grabbed her stirrer, starting to stir it clockwise.

She was glad that Jessica thought it was disgusting as well. Shaking her self out of it. she smiled at the young girl while she finished her tasks. "awesome good job" thumbs up for you little puff. "yeah its better when things are even in concise in the potions." informing her.

Watching her pour their liquids in the cauldron, and finishing up.. "yep, were all ready for the actual brewing part now"

instead of turning on the burner she pulled out her wand yet again made sure the gas was flowing on her burner and instead of pressing the button she said "Incendio" making sure everything was safe, she adjusted the knob to make sure the flame wasnt to big. "okay lets start slowly heat this stuff up"

she waited for the red win and prune juice to heat up and then once it was hot enough she pulled out her stirrer and moved it clockwise. "we have to do this for ten minutes. ughh. my arm is going to fall off" she said jokingly. "and once were done it should be dark purple-ish color" she prayed that their working together had paid off.
