Reading over the instructions again, and then looking to the cauldron, Tibi considered her question. "Well, we're using purified water, sooo..." He scrutinized the ingredients that were laid out. "No wands for that." He picked up the container with the purified water and passed it the Wesley.

"Four ounces," he said, smiling at her and leaving her to get it warm, but not quite boiling. Turning to the mortar and pestal, he plunked two bunches of fluxweed down and got to crushing. Small beads of sweat popped out on his brow, partly from nerves partly from physical exertion, as he twisted and crushed.

Chewing on the inside of his cheek, Tibi continued to crush. "How's the water," he asked, not looking up.

Putting down the mortar and pestal, Tibi looked down into it, satisfied that the fluxweed was "finely crushed."

"Oh," Wesley said, surprised by Tibi's confession. Eyeing him carefully, she decided he was just being modest. Because Ravenclaws where smart. "Mmmhmm," she nodded, agreeing. With him to guide her, the 12-year-old was 100% positive it would be okay.

Wesley let out a nervous giggle, reaching for the container with both hands so she wouldn't spill it. "Right. Sorry." Good thing the Ravenclaw knew what he was doing, "See- you're good at this."

Biting her lip, she carefully poured the liquid into the cauldron and waited for it to heat up. Keeping her dark brown eyes focused on the potion, the Hufflepuff patted her wand comfortingly. Poor thing- it wasn't its fault it couldn't create pure water. She knew it tried its hardest.

Placing her hands back in her lap, Wesley focused on the water. Staring. Staring. Staring. Oh! She looked up as Tibi spoke, watching him crush the fluxweed. "Good?" the small girl said, phrasing her answer as a question. It had to be good, right? The water looked the same as it had earlier, nothing had changed except for her face which was beginning to sweat from all the heat.

"Yours looks good too," Wesley added honestly, looking at the crushed ingredients with awe. "Now...," she stared at the board, "we add them?"
