Juno's spell didn't quite reach the pixies pulling at his hair and Henry wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or not. The fourth year wouldn't want to be in direct line of her spell anyway, because he didn't want to be accidentally immobilized. He had enough problems over here with his upturned cauldron and pixies pulling his hair.

But it appeared that it did work on most of the pixies, and the rest seemed to either be bored or had enough fun, since they were soon on their way. And thankfully out of his hair, which was probably a mess now. He ran a hand through his hair, hoping to fix it again.And yes, professor, he did know Immobulus, he just hadn't been quick enough with his cauldron and he wasn't about to point his wand at his own head, hoping to catch a pixie in his spell casting. Not when he'd have just as likely a chance of casting it on himself at that angle.

So, back to the potion. Or, more accurately, starting the potion over, since the contents of his cauldron were all over the table and dripping on the floor. But a few quickly cast Tergeo's and Scourgify's cleaned up the mess and he was on his way again. Henry filled his cauldron with water from his wand and lit the burner again. Taking the time he needed to wait for the water to start simmering, the Hufflepuff once again went to the potions store cupboard to gather at least some of the ingredients. He remembered he needed a bunch of alihotsy leaves and billywig stings, and then something about charcoal and a bezoar. The rest he'd have to get once he got to that step.

When he got back to his table, the water was already simmering. Dropping in the leaves, he glanced up at the clock to time about 20 minutes. Right. That was a long time. He supposed he could prepare other ingredients like it said up on the board during that time, but.. there wasn't any chopping to do.. or..? Oh. He could probably get the rest of the ingredients while he waited. Then maybe organize them in neat rows or something like that. Erumpent tongue? He wondered just how that kind of ingredient was acquired as he walked up to get the rest of his ingredients.

He had just collected everything else when he heard the professor speak again. What? Class was over already? Henry looked around to see that most of the class seemed to be finishing up and handing in their phials. But.. he had to start completely over after those pixies ruined his potion. So unfair. Yeah, he'd definitely be staying after class to finish. Sigh. Placing the rest of the ingredients at his table, he glanced up at the clock before propping his chin up on his hand as he stared at the simmering leaves in his cauldron. Ten more minutes.
