Once the water was at a steady boil, the fourth year reached over to pick up the essence of violet. 5 drops... he reminded himself, carefully inserting one drop at a time, until five were added. Stir 5 times, clockwise. Stirring the solution carefully, his thoughts were interrupted by the response of Mystery Girl.

"Pondering things about it?" he asked skeptically, absentmindedly stirring his potion clockwise. Then she said the words he had not really expected from her mouth; or maybe he did, but he wasn't entirely sure. Someone's in love and doesn't want to feel that way anymore Merlin! This girl was seriously bonkers! The thought made him stir his potion faster, forgetting how many times he had stirred it. Whoops!

"Oh yes, Mystery Girl," he replied sarcastically. "Don't you know that I'm madly in love?" With myself, maybe... "Pleasssseeeee! I thought you at least knew me better than THAT! I'm just making the potion cause what else is there to do since I DID come to class." Shaking his head, he turned back to his potion and gulped. Right, time to add the essence of rose thorn. Seven drops...
A procrastinator was something Willow was not. But, that's what she was doing right now. Or was the correct word Stalling? Yes, it probably was. Willow was stalling in the making of her Anti-Love potion. Ugh. No point on doing these anymore, for she would have to end up doing it in the end. That or getting in trouble for not following the instructions that were given.

Sighing a heavy sigh, the fourth year took out her wand from the insides of her robes, muttered aguamenti and let the water fall on her cauldron for a bit, before stopping the spell. Now what else she had to do? Five drops of essence of Violet. Right. Adding this ingredient quickly, the girl started to stir the liquid inside her cauldron, with an absent expression on her face. How many times was she supposed to stir it? Five, right? Well, she did it seven times. Two extra times couldn't hurt much. Or at least she really hoped so.

"Yes, pondering things about it," repeated Willow slowly, almost as if the Hufflepuff was mentally retarded or something remotely closed to that. And then a sly look crossed her eye, before biting her bottom lip, in order to prevent herself from snickering yet again. It was obvious that the boy was not exactly fond of females... especially of those that had trouble keeping their hormones under control. Heh. "You see, Stranger," began Willow slowly, with a dreamy expression on her face. "I was thinking about whether this potion would actually help me to cease the pain that is killing my heart." Cue the dreamy sigh, before taking a few steps towards the boy before stopping right beside him, and completely forgetting about her cauldron. "I am so desperately in love that my heart is aching. Can't you see it?" She closed her eyes, and sighed yet again. Oh, how ridiculous she must have looked--which was the entire point. Willow was pretty sure she was looking ridiculous, for the girl was mimicking the facial expression of all those 'heart broken' girls she had seen around the school. Moping and crying over boys... idiots.

Deciding that being standing next to him and looking like an idiot was beginning to feel too awkward for her own taste, Willow took a step back, to return the boy his space. "Kiiiiidding," whispered the girl with a smirk and a wink, being her usual self again, and looking slightly superior. Walking back to her seat, Willow stirred the potion again.

Drat! Eight times now. Ah, well...

"Oh, you don't have to lie, Stranger," began Willow again from her seat, looking at the ingredients and instructions. "I know you are in love. I can tell." Snort. More like the opposite.
