Finally with all the melted candy in the mixture, she placed the phial down on the table away from the most hypnotizing and beautiful flame under the cauldron before putting her full attention onto the parchment and her writing. There, done with that one. Picking up the stirrer, she stirred the mixture around for a moment once more to incorporate all the melted candy with everything else before sadly...lowering the flame. They didn't need it that high anymore now.
*tear*
Taking one more peak at the work Destiny was doing, Evelyn smirked back sitting back down on the stool.
"That is good enough." Mwaha! It didn't even look like a bezoar anymore. In fact, it looked kinda disgusting. Bahaha! Hopefully it wouldn't ruin her mortar and pestle set. Or else...
"You can put it in with the other stuff, and can you stir it slightly too? Then we just need to let it simmer for a moment or so." Now, how were they going to present it? How would they make the cat eat it? Or...drink it... Then again though, Lafay was the one that was going to make sure that she picked the best one of course. Right?
But really, how would you make a cat drink a potion without shoving it down it's...throat....oh Merlin, this was a BRILLIANT IDEA that she just had! She knew how she would've gotten Poof to drink the potion. If you would call it drinking it that is...
hehe.

Oh YES!
They were almost done with their potion and Destiny couldn't be happier. Well, she could be if she could get the chocolate out of her bag. Unfortunately it would still have to wait, since it was time to pour the crushed bezoar into the cauldron. Placing the pestal down, she lifted the mortal and, resisting the urge to sniff the stuff, she tipped the contents inside the cauldron.
"Hey Evelyn? You know what would suck? If the potion blew up." Something like that was expected right? They were a bunch of potion apprentices, and they did just throw random stuff in a cauldron.
Hopefully no one used erumpent fluid.
Tapping the mortal on it's side, Destiny made sure all the bezoar was now in the cauldron. She was supposed to put the whole thing in, right? Oops, she should have asked, but it was too late now.
Could she stir!? Pshaw.
"Of course I can stir." She was getting good at this kind of stuff. Picking up the stirrer, she placed it inside the cauldron and started to stiiiiiiir. After a few clockwise turns, she removed the stirrer and placed it on the table, allowing the potion to simmer,
"After it simmers, we should let it cool to add the milk. Maybe we could speed up the cooling process, so we can get out of here faster."
And then she could eat her chocolate.
