 Post 1 Fluttery Pegasi
Deep breaths, Haddie. Deep breaths. She made a noise like a gulp in her throat and entered the classroom. "G-good morning, Professor." Deep breaths. Deep breaths. She could do this. Professor Newton has been tutoring her all year. She could do this.
Hadley grabbed her lab coat on the way to her workstation and slowly, methodically began to set up her equipment. Amazingly her cauldron wasn't partially melted this year. That alone was a sign of improvement. All while she was setting up, Hadley's eyes kept flicking to the card. Her natural curiosity was burning within her, urging her to flip the card and peek at the instructions.
But she managed to resist.
Now that her equipment was set up, Hadley took the remainder of the time to clean her tools with Scourgify, starting with her cauldron, then her measuring cups, her mortar and pestle, her stirrers and finally the rest of the tools.
It still wasn't time to start which meant Hadley was forced to wait. And waiting meant her nerves were just continuing to build and build on her. She drummed her fingers anxiously on the workstation inches away from the card. Come on, come on, come on.
Finally Professor Newton gave the go ahead, and Hadley flipped the card over. Clean equipment? Check. She did that while getting ready for the exam. Fill cauldron with water. Hadley's eyes flicked to the ingredients. Four cups of water. She grabbed her measuring cup and "Aguamenti!" It was whispered so she wouldn't drench herself again. "Finite!" The first cup of water was poured into the cauldron followed by three more.
Check.
What next?
