Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Lady Concetta added Guinness to the concoction, Sira thanked her, and couldn't help but be amazed at how the white foam turned into clear golden liquid. She turned off the heat and gave it some time for the potion to cool down, although Sira was very impatient.
After it seemed to her that enough time had gone by, excited, she added the two remaning ingredients: the Acromantula blood and the remaining pile of rhizome, dropping them into the cauldron at the same time. As a reaction, the potion became opaque, and Sira could no longer see the bottom of the cauldron.

"I hope this is how it's supposed to look like", she thought to herself, measuring 25ml into a vial. After marking it with her name and year, she walked to Lady Concetta's, desk to deliver it, but she tripped on something she couldn't quite point out and almost dropped the glass vial. Thankfully though, she got her balance back before falling to her knees, so it didn't hit the floor nor smash to pieces, and Sira quickly regained her composure and hoped no one had noticed that near-disaster, as she placed the fruits of her labor in the vial holder.

Lady Concetta was quickly at the potion that next needed the beer, she slowly pored the frothy liquid in and watched the color change. She was beginning to think this potion ended up being too easy, everyone was doing a really good job.

The moment Kani's potion transformed into a lovely, transparent hue of gold she reached for the heat switch and flicked it off. The steam coming from the pot was slowly dissapating.

Idly waiting for the temperature to take on a lesser warm one, Kani glanced from the corner of her eye to see that Lady Concetta was busily moving the other students' potions along. Then she slid her gaze back to her task at hand.

Placing the palm of her right hand a safe distance above her cauldron, the heat was still strong enough to make her quickly pull her arm back to her side.

Sighing, she chewed the inside of her lip and glared at the potion. As if her stare would hurry it along.

Kani's head shot up at the sound of the door creaking open. Taking in the sight of an agitated looking Slytherin, Kani wasn't sure if she wanted to greet her friend today. Kale was always fun to spend time with, but he did have his moods. And this seemed to be one of his darker ones. But upon seeing his brooding eyes search for an open desk, Kani scooted her many knick knacks and made room for him. A silent gesture on her part- that he could easily refuse if his mood was one where he wanted to be alone.

By the time she was done clearing half the table, Kani observed that the potion was barely giving off any more puffs of heat. Again, she placed a palm above the cauldron to test the temperature. A grin spread across her features and reached up to send sparkles in her eyes when warmth spread on her skin. Finally, she could proceed with finishing up the potion. This was always one of her most exciting moments during the process, because it meant she'd finally be able to see how accurate she constructed the given assignment.

Nimbly, Kani picked up the glass-full of Acromantula blood. She held it up to eye level and admired the sheer color it possessed. The blood looked nothing like she'd have imagined it. Instead of being utterly disgusted by it, the elegant/swirling color made her want to preserve it. Not throw it into the Cuspis Forix Potion.

Sighing, Kani scooped up the beaker, which held last of her ginger. She stood before her almost finished creation and tipped both vails, symmutaniously, in.

Kani sucked in her breath and stared intensely into the pot, not wanting to miss the split seconds in which the color would solidify and take on a new look.

Her brows crinkled in confusion when her attention was pulled to the light tapping on her right shoulder. With a jerk that crinked her neck, Kani winced and faced Kale.

Having a slightly dazed look still lingering on her face from adverting her attention too fast, Kani tilted her head to the side. She missed what he had asked, but noticed the knife he held. She looked down to see the her own was missing and put the pieces together. Nodding quickly, Kani murmured ,"Yes, yes. Go ahead." And turned back to her potion in slight annoyance.

The thing that he should have known, from being in all her Potion classes throughout their Hogwart's years, was that during the climax of potion making...Kani hated, absolutelly dispised, being distracted.

The liquid sleeping deep within her cauldron was a bold. It had the luminecent appearance that she saw on most fish scales back at her summer home in Ohau. The sleek, shiny gloss that only freshly caught fish possessed. But instead of being at awe, Kani drew in a vicious breath and turned hauntily towards Kale.

"Y-you!" She could barely growl the word.

THe last step of the potion's transformation, she had missed. And she was furious. In the back of her mind Kani knew it wasn't Kale's fault...but at the moment she didn't care.

Once Kani showed with a nod that Kale could borrow her cutting knife, Kale chopped up the peppermint, cungranexactator and used the blade of the knife to grate the ginger rhizome. As he finished each one as directed, he placed them in separate piles. Then, withdrawling his wand, Kale pronounced the charms to purify and distill the water,erkolcstele and inflixi putus.

He peered into the water but instantly felt foolish. Of course he wouldn't see the difference, he scoffed at himself, the change was microscopic. So to cover the blunder, Kale performed the Scourgify charm on the knife and placed the dangerous tool back in it's original location.

Just as he set the cauldron on the stove top and turned the heat on high, Kani's angry voice demanded his attention. He tossed the peppermint leaves in bit by bit before turning to face her.

"I what?" Kale asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Kale sniffed the air and realised that Kani was indeed right. Forgetting about the upset girl, momentarily, Kale returned to his pot. The grated ginger was then added. In a few moments time, the potion's physical appearance altered and Kale took the heat away.

The bubbling still came strong, so Kale took the time to observe Kani as she huffed. He wasn't about to apologize, but he did want to make it up to her. After all, Kani knew how to hold a grudge and he wasn't about to be on the recieving end of that could shoulder.

So Kale waited for Kani to release her frustrations, on the paper she scribbled ruthelessly on, before he did anything.

Ascella smirked as she got back to her potion. She used her wand to conjure up a flame under the cauldron. She saw as it reached a rolling boil, noticing Kale, she smiled at him, well, it was more of a smirk. She removed her gum, that still had her flavoring into the cauldron. She watched as the bubbling continued, faster, and larger. She muttered something loudly under breath in French as she ducked under the desk. There was a small explosion, most likely to from the reaction of the gum Arabic with the spider eyes and the acromantula blood. She was covered, in the gold shimmery liquid. She stood up, muttered some more words in French and tried to wipe herself off, not wanting to find her wand through all the goop.
