Still letting his anger shimmer (though all he wanted to do was fling his cauldron, oil and all, at the potions professor), Ronan swirled his cauldron around until the inside was lightly coated with the oil, then placed it back on the tripod, turning the burner to a low heat. Next was the five teaspoons of beetle eyes (ugh, the things creeped him out), which, after being measured, were dumped into his cauldron. Then were the five whole beetles, which were placed into his mortar and crushed with his pestle into a fine powder. Once the beetle eyes had turned dull, he added the ground beetles and crup urine, stirring the mix five times until it turned it turned bright red (and being quite glad to not have to look at the urine anymore, honestly). Then the spadix of the corpse flower was added, the potion stirred twice counterclockwise, followed by the spathe, after which the potion was stirred three times clockwise. Next to be added were his toenail clippings, sprinkled in.
Leaving his potion to shimmer, Ronan picked up his potions knife and started mincing the garlic. Something he was quite quick at, thanks to his cooking abilities. In fact, he finished with exactly two minutes left. Two minutes he used to quickly copy down the instructions so far. Once the five minutes were up, he added the garlic and started beating the potion, exactly as the board instructed. After all, Noble wouldn't have written it if he didn't want them to do it. Unless this was a test. Either way, his potion was well on its way to resembling instant coffee (side note: did anyone actually drink that stuff? The coffee, of course, not the potion.).
