Well, there were still eight steps to go but that didn't matter. Esme was having fun brewing her potion - some gross ingredients aside - but finals were not nice and she wanted to see if she had done everything correctly or not. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long for Professor Newton to get the results in though of course she was patient. The man had a lot to do after all. Besides he was like her grandpa and she wouldn't rush anyone like that because it would be rude.
Slooooooooooowly she poured out the cup of salamander blood - the measuring cup was clean - into the cauldron. Honestly she had no idea if this was the right speed to go with or not but it seemed pretty darn slow to her and so long as the potion didn't start acting weird things should be in order.
When that was done Esme roughly crushed the ten lionfish spines and added them as well. Now on to grating the horn of the most magnificent creature that had ever graced the planet. It was a good thing that no unicorns had been hurt in the process because she would have been mighty ticked off otherwise and refused to continue. As it was, she graaaaated away at the thing until it was all added to her cauldron.
Cleaning her knife, Esme then proceeded to roughly dice the two wolfsbane roots before gently plopping them into the potion. One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten... eleven... twelve... thirteen... fourteen... fifteen... sixteen... seventeen... eighteen... nineteen... twenty... counter-clockwise stirs with her clean metal stirrer and then it was time for her to let the potion simmer.
Okay then.
Exactly how long was she supposed to wait??? Not really sure, Esme decided to let it sit until she felt that the correct time had come for the burner to be turned off. Carefully she watched the bubbles and when they became more active she extinguished the fire. Cleaning her measuring cup, she added a cup of room temperature boom berry juice and that was her done.
Pouring some of the potion into a vial, she put on a label that she had written her information down on: Quote: Esme Darcy
