Professor ^_^ ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Facial expressions were more difficult for him to hide but Ary did appreciate Adara’s encouragement. At the words of the potion almost being completed, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. That meant that any chance that he would screw up was low.
Using a dropper, the Slytherin dispatched seven drops into the cauldron and immediately after the final one, the white colour appeared. To commence the simmering, the burner was adjusted so that the flame became low. While the seven minutes were waited out, Ary once again cleaned his workstation. It was always easier to focus in a clean environment.
Once the time was up, seven counterclockwise stirs were done before the syrup of hellebore was added. With the turquoise colour achieved, Ary knew that he had been successful overall. It was quite a triumphant feeling. Not feeling the need to try the potion now since his success had erased his earlier bad mood, he vialed a sample for Adara, labelled with his name and House. “Professor, can I take a vial for myself to use another time?” Because Gobstones sometimes stressed him out and the potion would be nice to use after a particularly trying match. |
