After listening to the Professor's explanation, Luther walked towards the long table with trays filled with required ingredients and took one. Returning to his station at the back of the class, he started reading the instructions once again. Just to be sure, he read them twice more. He didn't want it to explode in his face. Even though he didn't have much hope to brew the potion correctly, he still wanted to be safe.

After ensuring he roughly memorized the recipe and calming himself as much as he can, Luther started brewing the potion by adding the Ashwinder egg to his cauldron. As he was stirring after adding a dash of tincture of thyme (he had to double check if it was a pinch or a dash of it), he realized he didn't know which direction he should stir in. However, it was too late as he was stirring in a clockwise direction already. Deciding to cut his losses as much as he can, he raised his hand and asked "Professor, should we assume the stirring direction is clockwise unless otherwise stated?"

Hoping he was doing the right thing he kept stirring in the clockwise direction. He didn't want to think about what could happen when potions and brewing go wrong. His family lost enough to that.
