Keep that in mind," he said following her to the cauldron. He looked at her filling up the cauldron with water with water. He looked at the book and began reading the potion. "So what ever your name is what do we do know?" he asked her thinking what is her real name.
Coming back from the sink, Rachel listened as the second year introduced himself.
"Oh yeah - right, Thomas... Thomas Turner, no? We met before," she nodded as the name came back to her. Opening the book at the correct page, the sixth year listened with pursed lips as Thomas talked. Truth be told, he was being slightly rude but she figured she kind of deserved it.
Ugh - SHE was the one with the Revival Plan and she needed to worry about second years who didn't seem to know their Prefect's name or how to brew a potion. And HE was supposed to help HER. Guh.
"I'm Rachel Rider," she said, forcing a sweet smile upon her face as she began taking out ingredients according to the book.
"And here's what needs to be done:
You are going to measure an exact amount of erumpent horns and put it in here," she passed him a small bowl, just in case he thought that the book said kilograms and not grams,
"And after you're absolutely sure that it's the right amount you will wash your hands and the work desk and prepare to crush these moonstones," she finished up and put the stones she had acquired next to the erumpent horns along with another bowl.
"Don't get them mixed up, please," she added in a mildly nice tone, trying to be as kind to him as possible.
After Rachel finished telling him what to do, she set out to do her own bit of the work. Picking up a flask, she poured into it the Hellebore syrup she had in her kit - making sure that she was exact since this syrup could be the difference between a comfortable sleep to a never ending one.
"Right," she mumbled to herself as she put the flask down after she had finished. Picking up her knife, she grabbed the sopophorous beans and crushed them with the side of the blade, smiling with satisfaction as they let out a large quantity of juice.
Ok, so Flask 1 - Hellebore... Flask 2 - Sopophrous beans... Bowl 3 - Erumpent horns... Bowl 4 - Moonstones... The sixth year marked each of the containers before looking back at the book for anything she might have missed.
Ooh - right. Valerian.
"Er... Do you want to cut these up?" she asked suddenly, turning to Thomas with the herb. True, she had given him the important task of measuring the quantity of erumpent horns but she could let him do this too. He was a Ravenclaw after all - and from what she had observed, they were usually eager to help.
