Slapped Torin on the face? What was she talking about? Shaking it off, Dominic instead tried to focus instead on the lovage seed... Holding it out for Miranda to pierce and get the final drop of oil. But the last thing he expected was for Miranda to MISS where she was going to pierce, grazing the skin just a bit ... "Mirandaaaaa!!!" the seventh year exclaimed, eyes popping open, even wider as she continued to pursue her goal. It then all happened SO quickly, that the seventeen year old barely had time to process what was happening. Once second she was grimacing... then she was concentrating ... and then ... he felt a small hand wrap its tiny, but strong fingers around his, more to stop the shaking from what Dominic could tell... and all thoughts of potions and lovage seed oil dissipated... Even the voice of Kazimeriz telling the boys to not object to taking any love potion offered by the girls... All gone... Except for Miranda BelCanto was the only thing right now in the present.

For now... Until There ... and All done seemed to have woken Dominic from his reverie enough to realize there was the single drop of oil waiting to be added ... and that his good hand was still held by Miranda. And so, doing the only thing he could do, Dominic raised his left hand and used that hand to add the third and final drop of oil... Followed by a stirring of the potion, wondering if he could use magic to stir it vigorously, but deciding against it.. All the while, speechless and unable to remove his gaze from the fourth year as he simultaneously watched the potion for it to reach the consistency of maple syrup.

"Almost done," he finally said, softly, as his left arm was beginning to grow tired (from one being considerably weaker than his right and two, just from the vigorous stirring).
Hmmm, it was all so very different WATCHING how a potion was made than actually making one yourself. Somehow, Miranda found it quite entertaining as Dominic added the little droplets and such to the cauldron. She had sort of not paid much attention to the Head Boys little exclamation and was now smiling at how awesome this had little teamwork had been going.
Sure, she had almost made a hole in Dominics hand, but that was something minor...
They were great during a match and were great making a potion. Yay! This was one of the things she would definitely miss. Thinking about that was what had her complete forget that she still held his hand and oblivious to the fact that he was looking at her.

But, she frowned slightly, wondering why Dominc was stirring the cauldron so weirdly...it looked like he had trouble with it. And with his left hand? "Um...aren't you a righty-" Hold on. Oh, his arm isn't HEALED YET!? Ready to throw another fit, she looked down, finding that she was about to clench her fist...around something. Wait... She was still holding onto Dominics hand. Realising this, she let go of it quickly and giggled nervously. "Sorryyy...hahaaaaa..." Blushing, she glanced up at Dominic, but soon adverted her eyes to watch people around the room.

And then she heard him speak, softly. And even though it was rather loud and noisy in the classroom, Miranda heard his voice perfectly. Turning back to him, she smiled. "Great." Uhm... "Do you have a...uh...bottle thingy?" What were those called again? Nevermind. "I can help you pour..."
