 mention of Kane and starting potion brewing too, about halfway done! o.o YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
When Kane agreed to swap parchments, Skylar took his curious as to what he wrote, and sprinkled some of the pearl dust on it, revealing the message. She smiled in amusement at his message and then again when he question her own secret message. "I could say the same about yours." Because while Kane was pretty cool, she thought Brent to be cooler, of her own bias reasons.
And then suddenly lots of talk was being thrown out there about how long the effects would last and ways to make it last longer and Skylar was scrambling to get it all copied down, because Merlin only knew what information would be needed for exams. And now time to get brewing. To which she read her protocol through once just for a rough idea of what to do, before she began, because she discovered that to be a valuable practice.
Collecting all the ingredients she would need, the fourth year first cleaned her cauldron using a simple scourgify spell, before filling it up halfway with water, casting aquamenti with ease that she should have mastered by now (and did). Bringing the water to a boil, she then added her five juniper berries. She glanced to see if Kane had gotten to the shrivelfig, which it seemed he hadn't, so she cut hers in half, holding the other half out for Kane. "Here's my other half of shrivelfig." because it said for them to share, which she guessed was to conserve costs of ingredients as much as possible. Squeezing the juice out of her half into a glass, she then dropped in the de-juiced shrivelfig and watched for it to change colors.
Miraculously, it DID appear to be a light purple, which meant, so far so good. Picking up her stirrer, she stirred ten times counter clockwise, then five times clockwise, watching with gratification as her potion turned a darker shade of purple.... So far so good. Six cherries, then she blinked at the next ingredient, even though she'd read it over. Glitter?! Was the glitter SAFE TO CONSUME? EW. EW. EW.
Sighing, she added two level scoops of the silver colored glitter, already deciding she didn't care to sample her potion. There were other ways she could hide without a potion that required her to ingest glitter, thank you very much.
And heat off, with a quick cast of finite.
