~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Aria grinned from ear to ear as she watched Hooper do his thing. Also, she liked the nickname Hoops. Would he mind if she called him that at any time? The Slytherin watched him give the spell a try and was delighted to see that he was successful. “Look at you go, young one!” She wiggled her brows then stepped a little closer in his direction to scrutinise his leaves. “That they do. Still, they look good enough for steeping to me.” Aria was tempted to pat this delightful little firstie on the head but refrained. “Oh, thank you, professor! That’s very nice of you.” Two extra points for Slytherin! They could be rather useful in overtaking the House directly ahead of them. She waited slightly over five minutes while the leaves stepped then took her first sip. The stevia worked wonders in sweetening the liquid. And as usual, the chamomile was a wonder in soothing her. Truly a beautiful combination these two leaves made.
Aria also had a question and raised her hand after Hooper started talking. “Professor, is stirring the contents of our mug allowed? Or does stirring affect the natural process of the leaves settling at the bottom of our mugs and can disrupt the shapes to be interpreted?” |
