Does it really matter what direction you stir it!?! Violet couldn't believe this kid--especially that she had the nerve to ask Professor Lafay that. At least she hadn't gotten a cauldron poured over her, Violet thought, but was still annoyed and embarassed at her earlier misstep. But now she was finally caught up again and couldn't spare any more thought for this sort of nonsense; she needed to get on with the next step.

SPOILER!!: Violet's Potions Journal

Potions Journal
Violet P. Blackthorne
PRIVATE!

Devomotion Potion
  1. CLEAN CAULDRON (make sure teacher is looking when you do it!)
  2. Start with water on a low flame.
  3. Add two cups of Elf-made wine vinegar (slowly!)
  4. Put on dragon-hide gloves and retrieve three leaves from the Dransul plant (looks like a football)
  5. Crush one leaf in mortar until acid from comes out (3 drops)--BE CAREFUL!
  6. Use dropper to collect acid & add 3 drops to cauldron.
  7. Stir 3 times counter-clockwise
  8. Keeping gloves on, take 3 billywig stingers and drop in the moving water.


Keeping her gloves on, Violet took three billywig stingers and dropped them in the still-swirling water, watching as they sank down, like three ships going down in a whirlpool.
