Madame’s enthusiasm for this current crop of contestants slowly evaporated as the time progressed - unlike poor Miss Clarke’s potion, which she stirred too much in the third state and caused the mixture to completely solidify. With a disappointed tut, Madame Laurent shook her head and waved her wand to vanish the cauldron along with its coagulated contents, then gave a wave of her hand that suggested the contestant should step back.
Unfortunately Miss Farris’ endeavor did not progress much further. The mixture had only thickened slightly and at the sixth step where one was supposed to stir vigorously, it looked as if Miss Farris attempted to coax her mixture into another dimension with how vigorous she stirred. Another tsk, wave of her wand and gesture for the raven haired debutante to desist.
It ended up being between Mademoiselles Adebayo and Bonaccord; frankly Madame Laurent had high hopes for her French compatriot, however Mademoiselle Bonaccord appeared to have overheated her potion which caused the mixture to turn a muddy puce color - and stay that way, even after time came for the contestants to wave their wands over their cauldrons.
Only Mademoiselle Adebayo’s potion shimmered as if she’d poured a rainbow into it, and Madame Laurent clasped her hands together in approval. “It appears our victor today is Mademoiselle Adebayo!” She announced, though somewhat begrudgingly, as her favorite had clearly failed in her endeavor. “My commiserations to the rest of you ladies, and a job well executed to Miss Adebayo.”
