'I think you mean that having polished shoes puts forward a good impression and shows attention to detail, Anna.'

The girl smirked and suppressed a scoff. "Yep, that's what I mean." She said before chuckling, amused. All the Gryffindor did when Zoryn gave her answer and sent Anna a very specific look was to roll her eyes and shake her head. Acting childish even in class? Honestly, Zoryn needed to grow up.

Anna couldn't help but feel smug when the former Captain lost points for being an idiotic child, and carried on organising her equipment with a smirk on her face and without looking at the older Gryffindor. It was great when the people who loved nagging got themselves into trouble without Anna having to do anything. Hah.

The fourth year then zoned out and didn't listen to a word that was being said either by the professor or by her classmates, because not only Potions was boring on its own accord, the Potion they were brewing that day didn't interest her one bit. But then again, none ever did anyway.

What?

She eventually looked up and her green eyes scanned the board with the instructions. Looking around, she noticed her classmates had already started working, so she did too. Chopping the beeswax candle, she weighed the bits and was happy enough when it all weighed 112 grams. Close enough. Into her cauldron it went!

She then added the two tablespoons of flobberworm mucus and olive oil before looking at the board again as new instructions appeared. Then she sprinkled the charcoal powder and stirred the mixture anticlockwise once. Oh wait, it had to be twice. One more time the stirrer went around in her mixture.

Right, what was next? Five drops of ammoniacum. In they went. One, two, three, four, five. Cool, next? 'Stir it twice clockwise after each drop.'

Oh. Woops.

'Leave it on low heat for another 10 minutes.' Wait, what!? Her burner wasn't even on. When had she-- oh. Step one. Oooooooops.

Anna casually switched on her burner and carried on as if she hadn't just done it all wrong. Nothing to see here.

No need to say her Potion was a right disaster now as this very thick looking mixture started bubbling.

Welp. Whatever. "Luceo." She cast on it anyway, not even hoping for the best because pshhh, she wasn't THAT optimistic. The girl wasn't surprised when the mixture pretty much dried completely and had now become this dark, gross-looking, ridiculously thick paste.

Shrug.

Anna had a hard time ladling the thing into a wide opening container because of the Potion's texture, but she still kept a casual expression on her face as if she had done nothing wrong.

Because really, she hadn't. Not her fault her Potions never worked as they should ~~only it kinda was, but shhh~~.
