.........................................including Maggie.
She was just about to offer a personal and sincere apology to her......when she went and said THAT. Normally, Paige Skeeter would have just rolled over, accepted defeat, and gone about her business. But apparently this was just not one of those instances.
"And just what, pray tell, is THAT supposed to mean," she huffed at the Slytherin, pointing her wand at her burner and setting it ablaze with no awkward side effects this time. "It's just a little water and will dry soon enough with everyone's burners being on. I didn't do it on purpose."
Water, and other things, at a simmer, Paige placed the alihosty leaves in her cauldron so that none were overlapping each other and floating neatly on the surface before noting the time.

Speaking of interesting turn...
Nat went to get her ingredients and as she was on her way back she couldn't help but hear certain words come from a certain table. Her brown eyes jumped towards Maddie and she couldn't help but giggle. It was just water, really? "Don't mind her Paige she gets her robes in a knot anytime there is liquid falling near her." Giving a smirk towards Paige she turned back to her table. Her eyes glanced at Maggie's lap buddy when she turned towards her work station again.
Now on to her own potion. Looking at the work and the ingredients Nat sat them all aside and grabbed her cauldron. Pointing her wand she cleaned the cauldron to make sure it was good and ready. Potions was one of her more average subjects. She wasn't great at it, but she wasn't horrible either. Once her cauldron was clean she pointed her wand, "Aguamenti" Filling her cauldron with 500 ml, "Finite" Her eyes moved back to steps she was to complete.
Pointing her wand once more, "Incendio". She watched as the flames started under her cauldron.
SPOILER!!: Babbling Beverage
Ingredients
500ml Water
5g Fresh Alihotsy leaves
2 dried Billywig Stings
Pinch of powdered Erumpent tongue
5ml Armadillo bile
2 drops Leech Juice
1 tablespoon Activated Charcoal
Pinch of ground Bezoar
Method
Clean equipment
Add water to cauldron, and bring to a simmer
Stew alihotsy leaves in simmering water for 20 minutes [prepare other ingredients whilst waiting]
Remove all traces of leaves, and return water to a boil
Add dried billywig stings and erumpent tongue, boil for 10 minutes, continuously stiring counter-clockwise
Allow to cool to room temperature (22 °C/72 °F)
Add armadillo bile, stir five (5) times counter-clockwise
Add leech juice, stir twenty (20) times counter-clockwise, and the potion should be light brown in colour
Bring back to a boil
Circle wand counter-clockwise over cauldron whilst saying the incantation ‘garrula lingua’ and bring down to a simmer
Add 1 levelled tablespoon of activated charcoal
Stir counter-clockwise three (3) times slowly
Add a pinch of ground bezoar
Stir once counter clockwise and remove from heat
As it cools, it will turn from a light brown colour to a fluorescent yellow
When the colour stops lightening, you may bottle your potion. It will be approximately ten serves, if stored in 20mL vials.
Label one vial for the Professor to analyse, and ingest another vial. Save the others for your own use, or dispose of.
Characteristics: Fluorescent, solid yellow
Level: Beginner - Intermediate
Information: Dose is 20ml. Smaller dose will limit effects, larger dose will have no extra effect due to the addition of activated charcoal and ground bezoar, which adds a protection to the drinker.
Excuse YOU?!?!?!
Since when was Paige talking back to her? Not sending in her so-called friends to fight her battles. When had that happened? Really? Not that she was particularly intimidating or anything. It was still...well, Paige. Paige, who would probably apologized if Maggie hexed her right now. Paige. Paige, who had just drenched her in water. And why on EARTH was Nat talking to them?
"Professor?!" Maggie said, her voice shaking slightly as she turned to face Professor Newton, a pout on her lips. "They're-" She vaguely gestured towards first Nat then Paige. "She did it on purpose." At this she looked down at her coat and uniform. Which was still DRENCHED. As was her hair. "Look at this." She bit her lip, tugging on a strand of very sad looking WET hair before looking down at her shoes.
Like, it was obvious she couldn't STAY like this. It was a DISASTER. |
