She was pleased as Professor Reed approved of her answer amongst those given. Though she didn’t have much time to dwell on the approval as the healer-turned-professor continued on, rapid-firing information about the two components of the future potion and how to handle them to have the proper results happen. Cassie paid strict attention to what was being said, doing her best to copy it all in her notes for future reference, especially since she was certain there was too much for her to remember precisely when she was finished with her brewing. Then she double-checked her ingredients list, laying out what supplies she had including divving up what she had collected with her partner. And finally the steps of the brewing process were added into her notes as well.
When finally, they were instructed to begin the Ravenclaw. “Scourgify,” she cast on her cauldron first and foremost, repeating the cleaning the spell on all of her equipment that would be needed. Then came the distilled water into her cauldron and an “Incendio,” that lit the fire beneath to bring the heat to medium and then the water to a boil. With the newly cleaned silver dagger, Cass finely chopped the collected stargrass, adding it once she was satisfied with the boil. Then she poured in the measured Boom Berry Juice into the cauldron and dipped the tip of her glass stirrer into the hot liquid.
Stirring one…two…three minutes counterclockwise.
Pausing 5 seconds.
And one…two more minutes of counterclockwise stirring.
The stirrer removed, the sixth year picked up the dittany and added the required 23 drops of the essence into her cauldron. She watched the hands of her watch, timing out 3 minutes before lowering the heat. Two minutes later, Cassie made sure her gloves were secure before carefully retrieving each of the collected fireseeds and slowly and cautiously adding them one by one into the brewimg potion. So far so good and the Ravenclaw was relieved. In went the pure rock salt one by one with stirring the potion counterclockwise for 5 minutes afterwards.
One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…ten…e leven…twelve…thirteen…fourteen…fifteen.
Stirring…stirring…stirring.
And there was the yellow coloring.
