... four hundred and eighteen, four hundred and nineteen, four hundred and twenty.

Of course, Jake had the habit of counting a little too fast, and whilst he waited for his watch to tell him the seven minutes was up, he continued stirring anti-clockwise on one hand and deftly turned on a bunsen flame with the other hand. Not the safest method, but safer than having it on for allllll the time he'd taken setting up and brewing.

When the bells rand from his watch, Jake instantly let go of the stirrer and reached for the willow bark, emptying the lot into the coooooold potion, and tapping the side of the vial to make sure it was all out. He then picked up the stirrer again and-

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

- stirred it clockwise. As soon as the stirrer was at the exact place it had started from before the 5 stirs, Jake lifted the cauldron from the ice and, thankful the pewter was over ice so far and therefore not hot, placed it over the flame.

Then, as he checked his watch and set up a timer, he thought of something.

"Suhh-sir," Jake called over to the man, keeping an eye on the potion. "This ssssays to allow it to buhh-bbboil for fifteen mmminutes and then tttake it off the fffire. Does that muhh-mean keep it on the ffflame for fifteen mmminutes, period, or wuh-wait for it to bbboil, then start ttttiming?"

He did so want to get it right. It was PERFECT so far. Even if it was a ridiculously easy potion.

His watch was already counting down, just in case, but he could easily reset it at the right time.
