So my mom taught me how to cook at least well enough that I wouldn't burn every damn thing I put in an oven or on a stove. When you are cooking it doesn't matter so much that you are a half teaspoon off of salt or some other spice. If you don't put enough flour in a cake, if you are off a tiny bit, it still is edible.

So why the fuck is it so difficult in potions? What does it matter if I'm a centimeter off on my cutting or I stir once instead of twice? Come on cauldron, get this shit together and stop trying to make me look like an idiot. This is a class I can pass but this shit is way too picky.

He's right though. Potions is like any other subject here. Our attitudes widely impact our finished product, same as it would in transfiguration or charms.

Mantras tend to help. You are the cauldron. You control the cauldron. The cauldron does not harbor control over you. Be the cauldron.

See if that helps.

What. I would never.

That's not really what the mantra symbolizes. You have to be one with yourself before you can master an ability. The cauldron has to be an extension of you, just like your wand.

If you wanna check my fucking work on this one, it's on the floor.

Oh, I meant to proactively prepare for next time. Before you smash the newt and toss the cauldron on the floor.

I read that shit twice and followed the instructions. At least I thought I did.

Maybe it would help if you had the buddy system. Like a second pair of eyes, to watch you read the instructions twice before following them.

Well I mean yeah, you could kind of put it that way. Some people are more hands on. Some recipes are more implication than direction. I can be your eyes.

I mean, if you want.
