 Post two: finishing up :) YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Sky had been steadily focused on saving her potion and watching it carefully after a brief overheating with the fairy wings, she wasn't about to overdo any of the other steps...and there it was, a navy blue shade her potion turned.
Adding the remaining toasted dragonfly thoraxes, which she was counting until she heard the professor speak up and give them a twenty minute warning to which she promptly just added the rest of the twenty in one shot (only about five or six). Blowing gently on her potion, she smiled at the ripples on the surface and watched it... Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. It was the name of the game here! And there it was ... The reddish shade returned!
Promptly, Sky added three more measures of doxy eggs, or 9 eggs, and then immediately followed it with the pile of 10 untoasted dragonfly thoraxes which seemed to like giving the potion a blue hue. Waiting and watching it on the heat again, she smiled as the hue became blue from the red ... It almost looked like blue and red swirled together in an ice cream twist cone.
She had to be almost done by now cause she'd used most of her ingredients ... But there was one left. Double checking the instructions, Sky added the three flying seahorses, as she left it on the heat one last time ... Waiting for it to turn that shade that was on her crest on her robes and all over her dormitory.
Five minutes later, her potion changed slowly from the blue-red swirl to more blue to ... Greener ... It wasn't quite GREEN but it was definitely a shade of blue-green. Giving it another minute or two, the blue faded out a bit more and it became more green.
Content she ladled some into a vial for the professor to test out and check over, setting on his work table with the rest, making sure to label hers appropriately:
Skylar N Diggory
First Year
Slytherin
She then returned to her work area to clean it up for the next student testing; plus she didn't want to get points off for not cleaning up after herself! Nodding politely to the professor when she was finished cleaning up, she smiled slightly and then left. She survived her first potions final...
