Ingredients were all prepared and measured, so it was time to actually start brewing. Although Brooklyn had looked up at the sound of Professor Newton saying something she thought was directed at her. Well of course the gloves had been a good thought. She wasn’t about to tell him that it hadn’t really had anything to do with the actual potion making however. Just avoiding touching all the ingredients, which hadn’t gotten any more appetizing once they’d been mashed, powdered, sliced and diced.

Glancing at her notes for a moment, she reached for her wand again. “Incendio,” she said softly, slowly raising the heat once the flame had been lit under her cauldron. Once that was set, she picked up a stirrer and cleaned it again before sliding it into the wine/prune juice mixture in her cauldron. Beginning to stir clockwise, she kept a close eye on the liquid, reaching for her measured container of fungus with her free hand even as bubbles had begun to form and the liquid was a dark, almost eggplant, color. Ceasing to stir for a split second, she added the fungus to the liquid before glancing at the clock and starting to stir again. Clockwise, as the instructions had stated. She wasn’t about to fail now. Nor was she about to risk what had happened to the younger Ravenclaw, who somehow had reversed the function of the potion.

Ten minutes was going to seem like a long time.
