Potions wasn't that hard... You're literally given the instructions!
She took a seat and looked over the ingredient filled table. At the Professor's say so, Kye turned her Potioc Card over and read through the entire thing twice. She wanted to make sure of the goal before starting the journey.

Girding Potion
Use/Effect
Increasea stamina and endurance
Ingredients
4 cups of Water
50 dragonfly thoraxes (40 toasted and 10 untoasted)
1 set of fairy wings (2 wings)
3 flying seahorses
12 doxy eggs (4 measures of 3 eggs each)
Procedure
Clean equipment
Fill cauldron with water
Add the set of fairy wings, then heat until the potion turns turquoise
Add one measure of doxy eggs (3 eggs), then heat until the potion turns pink
Add 20 toasted dragonfly thoraxes until potion turns red (might not take all 20)
Heat until the potion turns blue
Add the remaining 20 toasted dragonfly thoraxes until the potion turns silver (might not take all 20)
Heat until the potions turns red again
Add the remaining 3 measures of doxy eggs (9 eggs)
Add the 10 untoasted dragonfly thoraxes, then heat until the potion turns blue again
Add 3 flying seahorses, then heat until the potion turns green
Kye cleaned her things, even wiping her cauldron just in case. She reviewed the first instructions and went to the ingredient table. She grabbed all the things, and even an extra doxy egg just in case. Carefully, she took the ingredients back to her station in two trips.
"Aguamenti!"
She measured the four cups of water, watching as the water poured into the cauldron. She tossed the fairy wings in, whispered "Incendio", and watched until the water turned blueish green. She took a breath and held her anticipation for the perfect turquoise.
"Finite."
Looking at the directions again, she added three doxy eggs, and waited for it to turn pink. She always liked watching the water magically turn colors.

Kye observed her dragonfly thoraxes, making absolute sure which were which, before adding the tasted ones one by one, not wanting to overdo it. The first few showed no color change, but after about 15 it really showed darker. At 17, she stopped and waited. It was the perfect red.
See? This is why you don't rush!!
At this point, Kye was feeling much more confident in herself.
She calmly plopped the next mine doxy eggs into the cauldron, not wanting to splash herself with a potion half made.
She tried not to get too excited as she added the untoasted thoraxes in. They were quite weird little things. She let the cauldron heat up again, and it went back to the blue she had seen briefly at the beginning of the task.
Eh, she liked the turquoise better... Oh well, a good grade would make her really happy!
Looking to see how much time she had left, Kye looked at her area. It was really cleaning itself up now! She put in the three flying seahorses, heated it to a solid green and turned it off. Wiping a forming bead of sweat from her brow. It was time to bottle this baby up! She wrote her name and year on the label.
