Merlin's knickers, could time move any slower?

"You're a lifesaver, Kenning." It was said both seriously and teasingly, all at once. Interpret at your own digression and what have you. Because, truly, her friend was out here saving her life on the regular, and playfully...because Olivia knew things about other things. There was a lot to know considering those stuDy habits. "I'd offer you some of mine, but...I'm not trying to make you fall in love with me."

...and after t w e n t y f i v e long minutes, which snailed by.... and then she was carefully adding in the eight parted egg. When she'd broken it, it'd cracked and fallen apart perfectly. Just saying, her mum might've been a nasty cow, but...she knew her stuff when it came to potions things. And arts and crafts. Both were good. Of course when it came time for the next step, the stirring bit, Olivia snorted. In fact, the term used was 'vigorously'....and despite being in the middle of the dank potions lab, the blonde couldn't fight the sudden bright flush in her cheeks. Goddess, could her mind please not do this right now. Please and thank you.

Too soon. Too soon.

Starting in with her metal rod, she got to work. Clockwise stirring until her arm threatened to fall off....And then stirred some more....and then SOME MORE...fast, around and around in the clockwise motion (thankfully) until it was finally some semblance of the purple color.... That was purple, right? Her eyes had been struggling with colors lately, and yeah... That was something to think about on another day. Right, that powdered moonstone next. As was instructed, she grabbed the container she'd filled before and carefully sprinkled its contents in the very center of her cauldron. The rose thorns followed shortly after, and Olivia paused to mark more things off the throw-away parchment. She was so close to being finished... "Also, you better write to me next term." It was said quite suddenly, as she pulled her dropper from its case.

Eight drops...and supposedly, with each one, this thing was supposed to move closer to a pretty mother-of-pearl sheen. Like the...pearlescent scales belonging to fish. Speaking of, she'd had a gold fish once. Terrible idea. Turns out, Liv could not care for pets that lived in water...Heh, but she digressed. One, two, three, four............all the way until all eight drops were safety inside her cauldron. Nailed it. Now to finish this bad boy off with the very last ingredient: PEPPERMINT. Quickly adding that in by the tablespoon fulls, she took a deep breath.

All. This. Blasted. Stirring.

Grumping about it the entire time, Liv dripped the rod back down into the cauldron, stirring with all her heart until the peppermint fully dissolved down into her concoction. Not to complain too much, but her arms....were really starting to hurt. Next time, she picked a potion based on the amount of stirring alone.. Next time, which would be in an American classroom. Gah, it hadn't hit her just yet, obviously...

Waving her wand for the second time, with gusto, Olivia awaited steam spirals with baited breath. If spirals didn't appear, the entire thing was wrong and she'd have to start over, and if that were the case, it just wouldn't get done. And if it didn't get done, she'd have a breakdown, because she was trying to be a good student here, okay? Come on, potion, WERK with her....

Oh....there they were.

Removing it from the flame, she leaned in, curious about how it might smell to her, as it changed from person to person. LOL, turns out, this was a horrible idea and the Gryffindor found herself backtracking for a moment, as she regrouped. Liv simply hadn't been prepared for the assault of clean scents that made her head swim dangerously. Whew. Right.

Now to bottle the lot. Otherwise, she was finished.
