Okay. so stirring her potion was really boring. She did not like that at all. But it was necessary. So she carried on. But Harriet made a mental note to research, or just ask her older brother to teach her the charm to make the stirrer stir itself. She knew that would make potion making much easier, and she wanted to make things easier. It would also be good to learn more magic. Then she would be able to get on with doing the other things, whilst the potion was stirring itself.
She concentrated though, no humming this time, as she stirred because she wanted to make sure she did it right. "Ooh. Yay!" The first year beamed as some bubbles started to form. It was working! That was good. She wasn't sure how much she had stirred, but it was starting to turn a browny color, and according to her notes that was the right color. So she figured she must be doing something right.
Ceasing her stirring she turned back to look at her notes, so she could do the next step of the potion. "Add hairy fungus....and continue to stir for 10 minutes...clockwise. Ugh. Not more stirring" She girl grumbled, as she picked up the hairy fungus, and put it carefully into her potion. Pouting, the first year picked up her stirrer and began to stir her potion again. This time keeping a good eye on the clock. She did not want to go over the 10 minutes! She was positive that would not be a good thing to do at all!
So stir stir stir. This was going to be a fun 10 minutes.
