Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

The problem with resting your eyes for only a few moments was that you could never truly determine how long they rested. Let's face it, he didn't have a clock on the inside of his eyelids. Consequently, when he did raise his head again, he could not only see MOAR bubbles but his mixture was starting to look like semi solid muck.....which....gave him the impression that...that just maybe in that eight minutes, he should have continued stirring. Also. Um. That clock...unless he was missing something...um...so more than eight minutes had passed and ...he....okay. Don't panic Bellaire, just....start stirring again and maybe good things would happen.

WAIT! He was meant to remove this from the fire??? Holy kneazle!!! Quick as he could the burner was extinguished and the gooey liquid no longer bubbled about. This ...was salvageable, yeah?

The Gryffindor picked up his wooden spoon again, jamming it into the mixture. Don't panic. This could be remedied. How did he fix this? Where was the instruction manual? SWEET CIRCE!

Stir stir stir.

Uhhhhh........think Blaise, think. Did he just keep stirring til it thinned out....or...? Did he add the other ingredient and cross his fingers? In his indecision the boy just kept stirring until he either gained more muscle or the potion thinned out again. Either way, he was taking this as a decent sign and went on to add the caterpillar and bat tongue.

Blaise glanced over at his notes again. It said to keep stirring til it turned creamy green? Well. He got the creamy part right. Um. Just. Wow. Um. Uh. Okay. Slowly the colour change DID take place and the boy might have jumped for joy (figuratively of course) but 'cept this was telling him to KEEP stirring for 15 more minutes?????

Hah. No. No thanks. He was done. This potion could be whatever colour it wanted to be. He'd taken it as far as he could and was already sure the texture was off. If they had to test this thing for homework, he'd ask his friends to let him have a sample of theirs. This was not happening under any circumstance and he would not be ingesting this.


Being 'done' as he was, the boy scooped some into the vial and went about labelling it.

Let's be honest, there was no way he was going to put his name on this thing. Nope.
