Professor Lupa was such a child and Willow was happy that Bontecou had decided to take her outside so he could talk with her, and thus leave them work in peace without all her sobbing and wailing. Shaking her head and muttering about oversized eight year olds (because that's what Professor Lupa was to her), Willow proceed to continue doing the confounding concotion.

Now where was she? She'd stirred, and let it boil . . . what was next? She looked at the instructions on her parchment.

Willow's notes

Confounding (Confusing) Concoction: mild formulation

Instructions:
* Bring water to a boil
* Separate the barbs from the shafts of 2 jobberknoll feathers
* Place barbs in boiling water and stir 12 times clockwise and 7 times counter-clockwise
* Boil for 30 minutes
* Add leech juice by squeezing one leech into the cauldron and stir in an unpredictable fashion
* Keep stirring until potion should thickens (within 5 minutes)
* If potion does not thicken after 10 minutes of stirring, add another leech and continue to stir unpredictably until thickened
* If potion has still not thickened after an additional 10 minutes, start another brew

. . . Well, hopefully the fact that she'd let it boil for a little more (a little being ten minutes) than thirty minutes would not spoil the potion. Eyeing it carefully, the fifth year grabbed a leech -a disgusted expression on her face- and then squeezed it and let the juice fall on her cauldron, and thus mix itself with the potion. Right. She wasn't touching another leech, so. . . she instantly started to stirr again. Apparently, you had to stirr until it was thick enough.

Stirr, stirr, stirr.

And the potion was still rather liquid looking, and Willow started to have the sinking feeling that her extra ten minutes of boiling and the fact that she'd previously stirred it more times than necessary really had affected the potion. Well, there was nothing she could do about it now, she shrugged it off, and continued with what was next - which was adding another leech, seeing that her potion was not thick enough. "Ew," murmured the girl under her breath as her fingers curled on yet another leech and saw as the juice fell on the potion.

Again, she started to stirr. And stirr, stirr, stirr, stirr.

It'd better work this time.
