Oliver kept stirring. For five minutes he stirred and stirred, and kept stirring some more. He had to keep switching arms because they were both tired from all the stirring he had to do earlier. So it was a pretty rough five minutes. Not to mention it was the longest five minutes of his entire life. But finally the time was up. And his potion had in fact changed colors. It was a pretty light green color. Was that what it was supposed to look like? He didn't know exactly how to characterize creamy green but he supposed this was good. It had to be because he'd done all he could.

He stopped stirring when the five minutes was up and looked back at the board. He was done now? It just had to cool. But no way was he going to sit there for twenty more minutes and wait for it to cool. It could cool as it waited on the professors desk. So he scooped some up and poured it into a vial. He quickly scribbled a label.

And he brought it up to the professors desk. He hesitated before setting it down, however. This was the moment where he had to decide if he wanted to drink it or not. "Professor, could I take some with me to drink later?" That way he wouldn't have to make the decision immediately. And who knew when a potion like that might come in handy.
