This term Beauden had been spending a little more time in the Potions lab than in the past. It wasn't necessarily because he wanted to, but because he had to. He knew he'd never hear the end of it if word got to his Ma that he hadn't been doing remedial lessons or putting in more effort to study for the subject. So, instead of running around outside, today he was dedicated to working on a particular recipe.
Now, the Gryffindor wasn't bad at Potions per se. He did, after all, manage to receive an Acceptable for the OWL (barely). However, his downfall with brewing came down to imprecise measurements, lazy chopping and stirring, or not being patient enough. Such were the problems this evening.
His work area was not tidy by any means, though the cleanup would have to come later as there was indeed a potion in the making. With a kerplunk, a pomegranate was added to the cauldron. Realizing that he had forgotten to heat the dragon heart earlier, he tossed that into the boiling pewter pot before moving on to mixing re'em and salamander blood in a bowl.
One... two... three... how many times was he supposed to stir this again?
