Ummmmm..... Char cast her eyes around then decided drop it in was what people were doing so it went in with a plop. Light purple? Was it light purple? Looked light purple.... Okay yes. Stirring next. Oh boy stirring was tedious though, having to count stirs and ughhhh. Ten anti clockwise..... Char moved her stirrer quickly through the motions (more like 9 and a half).... Five clockwise (more like 5 and a quarter).....

She looked up at Levi, doubt creeping in. "There are SO many shades of purple. Also this would be so hard for colorblind people." And yes, visual aids would so help. Hers looked dark purple though.... Maybe not deep dark? But dark.

She wasn't so sure about keeping her own potion but she would happily try Levi's. "It won't be full invisibility though right? More like disillusionment?" She dropped the cherries in next, followed by the glitter. Was that just to be pretty??? Char lost her place in the instructions for a second so was delayed in turning off the heat, but she hurried to get it off then tossed the leaves in.

Basically half way thankfully. Nghyuuuh. Char really wished she was better at potions.
Clockwise countdown was DONE and the concoction was a shade of dark purple that was possibly right. Levi checked the instructions again and made another executive decision by adding the cherries one by one. Then came the 2 scoops of glitter, which was a curious ingredient, intriguing enough for the boy to make a mental note to look up its properties, later.

He shot Declan a look over his shoulder, looked at Charlotte, then turned back to his potion with a frown. "I know." He turned off the heat. "My brother must be struggling right about now because of that."

Levi felt bad enough to feel the back of his neck redden but not enough to leave Kettleburn alone and ask Declan if he needed help.

Well.

One by one, he added the fall leaves and used tweezers to handle the moth leaves. Worrying at his bottom lip, Levi dipped them into the tincture of demisguise, and then carefully added them to the cauldron.

"I'd say so. But then Marchand said last term disillusionment charms could actually make you invisible. A powerful one, anyway. So, who knows, really." So many questions. At least there was a library. And in went the pearl drust, and the boy grinned as the burning began, which made him briefly wonder what that said about him. "By that logic, then," the boy continued, adding the other moth wing and beginning the counter-clockwise stirring again, "I s'ppose that we can assume that by adding octopus powder or maybe even dragon's blood--" Oh. "--perhaps we could brew a potion that could actually grant full invisibility." And maybe even for longer than two hours.
