Mint mint mint, where did he put the mint he'd collected from the table? Blaise took a step back to survey his brewing area. It wasn't to say he'd let it turn into a disorganized mess but with all these ingredients, it was just a little hard to immediately pick out the ones he needed. Add to that the fact that he was looking for a sprig of mint. Not the whole plant, just a spri--oh there it was!

Blaise nicked it from the table and ripped it in half as the card had said. With that done, he tossed both halves into the cauldron and watched it disappear into the solution.

Just as he was about to grab the mandrake, a piece of the instructions caught his attention. Gloved? Oh right, right, gear for the brewing. He'd already put on the coat and goggles but he'd completely forgotten about the gloves on his way to get everything washed earlier. Merlin it was a good thing he'd caught that! The boy pulled on his gloves then took hold of the mandrake. Don't ask him why it needed to be gloved, kid just did what the card said. He would prove to his parents that he could excel without having to STAY in the castle.

Who knew, maybe if he got good enough marks they'd let him stay home more often and turn up exclusively for Finals. It was a stretch but something had to give.

Okay, 7 drops of honey water. One...two...three...four...five...six...seven! Blaise placed the mandrake on a container then got it into quarters, carefully cutting at it with his instrument, tongue stuck out in concentration. The quarters had to be perfect--as perfect as he could get them at any rate. Satisfied with his handiwork, the boy added these to the cauldron before measuring out a cup of sloth brain mucus.

At the one cup mark, he stopped and added it to the cauldron as well.

The Gryffindor glanced back to the card, double checking his next step. His determination would not allow him to make even the smallest mistake. He would have to add the 2 moondew drops. That was easy enough. He didn't dare breathe as he added the drops to the cauldron, just so he wouldn't accidentally drop too many. Then it was time to stir.

First, one counter clockwise. Stir. Then the other clockwise. Stir. Theeeeere, just like the instructions said.

Blaise reached for the powdered root of asphodel that was set just a little ways off from where the mint had been. A sprinkle? Just a sprinkle? He could do that. The boy took a pinch between his fingers then carefully moved his hand over his cauldron and sprinkled it in.

Next!
