If Jessa had thought that taking her badge off would change anything, anything, then she was wrong. Noble didn’t give a griffin’s claws that she had a badge, it was more her continuing to ignore what he’d demonstrated and doing it her way. Clearly the girl thought she had nothing to learn and that her way - the lazy way, might he add - was best.

Which is why he very nearly swept the girl aside when she got to Ronan first and asked about smelling salts. The girl who apparently had to use magic for everything was suggesting a 13th century solution the Gryffindor wouldn’t actually be able to breathe in. She had dealt with the blood though, so he’d give her that.

Strewth.

Apparently the boy hadn’t been exaggerating about his pumpkin allergy. As far as Noble could see, he still hadn’t even started a brew. This was exactly what he DIDN’T need right now. Pulling his wand from his robes, he levitated over a small container containing the magical equivalent of an EpiPen as he squatted down on the stone floor. Catching it in his right hand, he now used his wand. “Rennervate.”

So, no, Finn, he wasn't planning to use the smelling salts for the moment.

He finally had the smelling salts back. And fortunately, Noble was now on the case. Oh, rennervate. Yeah, that would definitely be a better solution than smelling salts. Because come to think of it, hadn't Ronan been mentioning something about an allergy? Finn had been busy trying not to make Noble mad and making his potion, but he remembered hearing that now. "I'll hold onto these just in case, then.." he muttered, his voice trailing away feebly. He decided it would be better to just back away and let the professor handle things now. Plus, when Ronan did come to, he didn't need to be crowded.

Text Cut: Instructions
[QUOTE=hermygirl;12302246][COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Georgia"]“When your pumpkin has reached a simmer, go ahead and add your moth powder. Stir clockwise until your powder turns grass green...which should be four complete rotations, if you’ve got it fine enough.” Into his cauldron went the moths, and sure enough...within 4 stirs the potion had changed colour. He held up the spoon to show them. “Then add 100 grams of your bouncing bulb and stir just enough to incorporate it. Turn down the heat, and set your timer for thirty minutes.”

Yes, thirty minutes. Which was a long time, and that meant they had some more time to work on those cutting skills. No point having them all sitting there twiddling their thumbs. He appreciated some would want to make notes, but he didn’t expect them to write down everything when it was in their textbook. Writing up a full report would be their homework.

He raised his voice over the sound of bubbling cauldrons. “You may start to carve your pumpkin if you wish. I suggest using either a carefully controlled diffindo, or a small knife from your potions kit.” Up to them how fancy they wanted to make the design.

Well, despite being gone from his station for a bit, his pumpkin water seemed to still be simmering alright. So he scraped up his moth powder and dumped it into his cauldron. Oh, have to finish getting this into my notebook. His head was still with Ronan.

Notes completed, he grabbed his stirring rod. "Four clockwise stirs," he read. To Hanna, he said, "I always start each rotation in front of me every single potion I brew. That way I don't forget where I began." His own personal safeguard. Stir, stir, stir, stir. By three and a half it was starting to be green. After four, it still didn't look like grass. So, he gave it an extra quarter stir and, sure enough, grass. "Wow, my powder still wasn't fine enough even after that much work?" Ridiculous.
