There was no other word for it, Noble deadpanned at the first year putting on earmuffs. It was hardly cold in here with all the burners going, and they were working with stewed mandrake. Did she not think he might have said something if they needed ear protection? Grumbling audibly (to everyone else, at least), he headed over to Vivienne and pulled them from her ears "These," he said, still clearly peeved, "are not required. I will tell you if personal protective equipment is required. These are not fresh mandrakes, and we are not replotting plants in herbology." Did he make himself clear? With a grunt, he left the earmuffs on her desk, and went to look at other people's work.
Thankfully, others in the classroom were fairing better. Daisy's potion was simmering along nicely, and her workbench admirably clean and tidy. "Great job. You'll be able to take some with you to try after its been marked." And someone else with a beautiful work area and good looking potion? Tina. "You too, Tina," Noble said as he walked behind her. "Decent work indeed." Which from Noble, was quite the complement.
He raised his voice over the sound of simmering cauldrons as he made his way back to the front of the class. "When 15 minutes is up, complete the wand movement. As a reminder, it's a gentle tap on the throat and then a sweep of your wand left to right over the cauldron. Like so." He demonstrated over his own potion, which let off a few golden sparks. "With those sparks, the potion is complete. If yours doesn't spark, try simmering it for a further 15 seconds before trying again." Assuming it was sunshine yellow, of course. If it wasn't, they had much bigger issues.
"When your potion is complete, please deposit two labeled vials of it in the tray at the front." He gestured at the tray for reference, but it was hardly a new concept. "You may then tidy up and head to lunch a few minutes early. I'll mark your work, and if it's deemed safe, you'll be able to experiment with it. Just rub some potion on your throat, and think about how you'd like you voice to sound." Simple enough. Was there anything else? "Oh, and Professor Adara and I will be hosting extracurricular brewing tomorrow evening, if you'd like to join us."
ooc note: I'll leave this open for a few more hours for you to finish up. Thank you all for joining!
