 Steps 1-3 Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
Potions was one of those subjects that Rhea hadn't been sure that she'd particularly enjoy or appreciate when she first joined Hogwarts last year. It was now one of her strongest subjects. The amount of magic and the difficulty of the spells she was required to use in Potions wasn’t too much for her. So even though she struggled with her magical abilities, it didn’t usually hinder her in this class.
Anyway... There was no time to lose...
Double periods always seemed to go really quickly when there were lengthy tasks, such as brewing a potion, to complete. Rhea was always very diligent when it came to brewing potions. It required focus and precision, even when the steps were simple. First she made sure to tie her hair up, twisting it into a bun and securing it with a hair tie. She then adjusted her lab coat, put on her goggles, and pulled on the gloves. All she had left to do before she start brewing was cleaning everything. She started with the work surface, then the cauldron, and then all the other apparatus.
Many Scourgify-s later, she was ready to brew.
Rhea looked over the instructions. Step one was complete, so she moved her gaze to the next step. Easy. She moved the cauldron into position. "Aguamenti," she muttered and filled the cauldron with the necessary amount of distilled water, then lit a medium heat flame beneath the cauldron. "Incendio." With that set to boil, she quickly weighed out her 32 grams of Stargrass, separating it from Luci and Miranda's, and chopped it as finely as she could using a silver dagger. As soon as the water was boiled, Rhea added the finely chopped Stargrass to the cauldron and moved onto the next step. |
