#20 - Morning Brewing

Having had a shower which felt too short, yet nice while it lasted, Reena hurried towards the student laboratory.

She quickly found a workspace and laid out her equipment and needed ingredients before she filled her cauldron with water.

She opened her notebook to the recipee of the reveal potion and started grinding the spitroot in her mortar. This actually felt like a lot of work to her arms that were still tired from holding and swining that torch at Peeves earlier, her shower having been not long enough to refill her energy levels at all.

Reena had just rushed here in hopes of finishing the potion before lunch- although she wouldn't be sad at all if it took her longer and she missed a meal.
She'd apologize to Lindsey in History class.

Once she was satisfied with the powdered state of her spitroot, she started chopping the windroot, cleaned her knife and chopped the brittlebush which she would need later.

Cleaning the knife again she set it next to one cluster of freshly acquired inkberries.
She still felt as though there was something sticky behind her ear, despite having just showered.

Confident that she had prepared everything she could, she added the spitroot powder to the water in her pewter cauldron.

She then took the cluster of berries and carefully cut them with her knife before holding the cutting board over her cauldron to let the juice flow into it before stirring counter clockwise two times.

Reena briefly checked the recipe to make sure the potion turned the correct colour before she took the windroot and brittlebush, added them to the mixture and started the timer for five minutes as she put the heat on medium.

While she waited she let her gaze wander around the laboratory in an attempt to avoid looking at the blue spider and its icky legs.
