It was the perfect day to begin her potions extra credit activity. Why? Because of her timing. Walking into the potions lab, Jessa was awash with instant relief when she realized she would have the lab to herself today! How WILD was that?? No one to distract her--as the young girl could sometimes be quite easily sidetracked--and not a soul she had to be conscious of. She could pick wherever she wanted to work with and unless someone were to walk in, would have a lot of time to herself.
It was a little ironic, brewing this potion given recent events, but this was the potion the Ravenclaw had planned to brew the moment she'd seen the notice and didn't plan to change her mind.
Her motives behind this choice were completely unrelated; innocent even. She just hadn't brewed one before and wanted to know if it had the same effect on creatures as it did humans. It would be interesting to say these, all she had to do was get the potion brewed.
Jessa prepared the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone as the first set of steps dictated before thoroughly scourgify-ing her cauldron inside and out, then scourgifying everything else she would be needing for this session. It was important to ensure everything was cleaned. No tainted results for her thanks. Given she didn't know any water more pure than the kind that came from her wand..."Aguamenti." The Ravenclaw watched the water pour until she thought it was enough then added the sneezewort petals.
In you go.
"Incendio." The fire was brought to its maximum. It didn't say whether or not it should have been brought to boil first--which would have made a huge difference, so Jessa would assume it meant she should go ahead and add it without that step. The 8 heads of the sneezewort were dropped carefully into the potion.
She grabbed the metal spoon she'd cleaned earlier and dipped it into the solution she had thus far. 8 times....clockwise? Counterclockwise....? Oh, right, clockwise.
One....two...three...four...five...six...seven.... eight...
Continuing the trend of eight, Jessa grabbed the eight berries of atropa bellandonna and plopped them into her cauldron one by one. Her hand was set low as she added them, reducing the likelihood of splashes that would only hurt her.
Jessa scooped the alihotsy leaves into her hands and began sprinkling them into her cauldron in a clockwise circle into her cauldron. Once the last of them had fallen in, she took her wand and gave it a wave, ridiculously pleased to watch the potion turn a dark red. That meant she was on the right track, good good. Everything was fine so far.
In the 25 minute wait she had ahead of her, the girl reached for the egg and did her best to break it into 8...somewhat even pieces. No more, no less. She so had this.
And now to wait.
SPOILER!!: notes Jessa Cambridge
