"Do you know what they say about talking to yourself?" Hermione’s amused voice came from behind him, grinning and shaking his head he turned around."That it’s a sign of insanity?"No, that you have an idiot for an audience" she smirked."Oh haha" he said sarcastically, rolling his eyes he walked back to his table. "You ready?" Harry asked his partner."No, what if I blow it up again" Neville asked his eyes wide."Hey, breathe, I am fantastic at Potions. Now turn the fire on to boil the water and follow me" Harry said calmly."What is the first step?" he asked keeping his voice relaxed and calm."First step is to add four lionfish spines to the mortar." Neville said shakily."Good, then add them and crush them into a rough powder. Now a rough powder means it doesn’t have to be fine or precise so don’t worry about that just crush them." He grinned as Neville nodded and did so perfectly."Now I will add two measurements of standard ingredient okay?" Neville nodded."What is standard ingredient?" he asked quietly as if he was worried about being teased."Oh, you don’t know? Well it is just a mixture of herbs that are always needed together instead of separately. In every Potion that requires it they are combined first, so we store them together in one tub labelled standard ingredient. You will find it is the most popular ingredients as well." Harry explained as he added said ingredient mix to the lionfish spines and crushed them together to make a combined powder.
