 catchup + she has a question ^_^ Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Desiree smiled at the response her joke received. Nice use of puns, Professor! And she caught that giggle, Ary! Her smile remained in place as she heard which potion they would be brewing. The Laughing Potion… she’d guessed it! She took a moment to jot down the directions on the board before getting up to retrieve her potion ingredients.
Returning to her station, she neatly arranged the ingredients in front of her and cleaned her equipment with a quick Scourgify. With her equipment properly cleaned, she carefully measured 500ml of the spring water and added it to her cauldron. Next step: alihotsy leaves. Desiree chopped her three leaves, making neat careful cuts, and added those to the mix. Oh, stirring too fast damages the leaves’ mirthful properties? That was good to know! She’d be sure to keep her stirs nice and slow!
After stirring, Desiree consulted the board for the next step. Snigger at the potion. Okay, she could do that. A thought suddenly occurred to her. Would it affect the potion if the snigger wasn’t genuine? Just in case, she racked her brains for something funny - but not so funny that she’d do more than snigger. Imagining her cat rolling around on his back, she sniggered quietly.
With the sniggering out of the way, she set to work grinding her billywig wings and added them to the mixture, stirring slowly. What was next? She checked the board. Three knarl quills, got it! Desiree dropped the quills into her cauldron, One, two, three. When that was done, she lit her burner to a medium flame using a nonverbal Incendio.
As Desiree set her timer for two minutes, she glanced at the board for the next few steps. So she was supposed to giggle at the potion after stirring vigorously? That seemed fairly easy, but how much giggling did it take? She raised her hand and asked, “Professor, is it possible to giggle at the potion too much?”
