And she was still struggling to get the charm to work. That was annoying. She wanted to get on and manage to brew her potion already! But she knew that she needed to get the charm to work. She figured the potion's Professor wouldn't want her to clean the cauldron by hand. So she really needed to get the charm to work. She frowned, pointing her wand at the cauldron again. She could do this. It was just a simple cleaning charm. "Scourgify" She murmured, concentrating lots and lots. She wanted to do this. She could do this.
And yay! It had worked. She had cleaned the cauldron. Harriet beamed, doing a little happy dance. She had done it. Well the first part. Now she needed to move and get onto the first part of the instructions. "Slowly heat red wine and prune juice... stir clockwise until bubbles start to form" Okay. She could do that.
Pointing her wand at the bottom of the cauldron, she set it at a small flame. It needed to be slowly heated, so she figured that a small flame would work. Smiling, she carefully put the red wine, and then the prune juice into her cauldron. Now she needed to stir. The girl sighed. She didn't know the charm to get her stirrer to stir itself. That meant she had to stir it by hand. That was kind of annoying, but good too. She wanted to learn how to do things by hand. That was an important as learning magic. So she picked up her stirrer, and began to stir her potion clockwise, waiting carefully to see when the bubble began to form.
