Skylar was moderately okay when it came to potions, just as long as she wasn't asked to tell the theory behind why she was doing something. But in Sky's mind, Potion brewing was similar to cooking and she always watched in awe of her mum or anyone else cooking.

First things first, bring all the ingredients to the bench and make sure had everything. She glanced over next to her at Hattie who was already well underway with her potion. How on Earth did her friend get started so quickly? Oh nevermind, she shouldn't race because that was when one lost focused and messed up and maybe forgot to add something.

First things first was to clean her cauldron and equipment she would be using, which the second year did without too much trouble unlike that older Hufflepuff over there who sprayed water everywhere. But who was she to judge? Even though she'd mastered the water spell and the cleaning spell, there was still plenty of spells she struggled with, so the girl got a sympathetic smile, but nothing too much because well, Sky didn't want to embarrass her anymore than she already was.

Now onto filling her cauldron with water. And adding 5 grams of fresh alihotsy leaves, which she'd premeasured. Time to let simmer while she prepared other ingredients? Uh, what exactly did she have to prepare? Everything seemed ready to go. Oh, use her mortar and pestle to ground the Erumpent tongue into a fine powder.

Keeping a careful eye on her cauldron, she placed a bit of the Erumpent tongue in her mortar and began to ground it up as she read further down the protocol for what else she had to do. That was when she had a question about how much of something. While carefully still grounding, she raised her hand to signal for the professor. "Hi uh ... Professor Newton? I'm just curious about something. The protocol asks for a pinch of Erumpent tongue and then a pinch of ground Bezoar, but um my pinch size might be different from like someone with larger hands and well, does this matter? Or should I use two pinches to compensate?" You know, cause it was kind of important on how much of something to add.
