After completing the third round of whisking, all that was left to do was to add the liquid devil's snare (basically). That's what "essence of" something was, right? Essentially, just a fluid version of whatever ingredient.... Oh, and don't forget the last bit of w h i s k i n g. Whoooo could forget the whisking...?? Okay, but for all Liv's griping, she immediately got on that. Just to keep the contents moving and all un-frozen-like. And, as it didn't say to do this but she thought it was common sense, Olivia used a strainer when transferring the potion over for storage......so that it might separate the chunky bits out. Also, she'd only set out five smaller phials, not knowing exactly how much this recipe would produce, but considering the ingredients... Eh, better safe than sorry, she always said.

....and if you were wondering, it had only made enough to fill three.

Okay, so taking a few moments to get that cleared away before starting on the main event, Liv went through and crossed every step off that parchment before toting it to the trash. She might have banished it away but that was basically Transfiguration magic and 100% not her strong point. Know your strengths and weaknesses, kids. #Important .....And suddenly, there was an Althea Kenning in the laboratory and she couldn't help but to smile at the Hufflepuff girl. They wouldn't be working together, but it was still nice to have company, right? Also, that stage whispering game was strong with this one. "Altheeeeaaaa." Liv paused to re-scourgified her second cauldron. "Potions for Love and Hate, because I'm being dramatic as all get out." She'd earned that, she thought. Maybe? "And you?"

Since she'd already prepared a few of the ingredients before knocking out the Anti-Love Potion, Olivia simply went straight into adding the purified water. No measurement required as it only said to fill the cauldron. So, viola! The cauldron was filled! Also, those sneezewort petals were being unceremoniously dumped in. Preparing ingredients beforehand could be pretty cool. Less stressful, for sure. Now...to light this fire.... "It's funny that we're both doing this last minute." It was said super casually.

Mhm, eyes on YOU, Althea Kenning.
