Anti-allergen substances... right... but which ones?"
"
Yes, but which ones?" She asked.
"
Which ones." She said rolling her eyes, "
I'm asking you all for ingredients, not a type of ingredient."
"
We know what it needs to be... we need the ingredient names." She shook her head.
"
Yes. Valerian root is used because in combination with the other ingredients, it help render the allergy dormant."
"
Salamander Blood, yes, it helps with the healing. The Wiggentree bark would counteract with the Valerian root, and St. John's wort causes more allergic reactions than are necessary." She said shrugging.
"
But this isn't a poison, and a bezoar is too strong for this potion." She said "
What we are making is a potion that will deaden the allergic reactions for a year at a time."
"
Yes dock leaves, for precisely that reason. It's a natural antihistamine. But certainly not sneezewort. That causes more allergies." She answered.
"
No snakeweed combats venom." She said. "
That's more to combat a poison."
"
Bananas? No. Bananas have many medicinal properties, but none of them are anti allergies." She said.
"
Belladonna is poisonous when ingested... which means it's a type of poison... so... no." She said.
"
Yes. Water is the base of the potion." She said and smiled. "
Very good."
Hecate blinked. The boy was correct... but it surprised her. He was never the smartest kin in her class. "
Uhmm... yes. to all three. Ashwinder Eggs, Fluxweed and murtlap essence are key to this potion."
"
Uhmmm, no..." She said with a shrug.
"
Yes they would." She said with a nod.
"
Uhmmm... I'm not familiar with those." She said and moved to the next student.
"
Very good Miss Greingoth," She said with a smirk.
"
Raw honey is quite powerful, yes. It's an ingredient." and she nodded. "
Very good."
Moving to the board she magically made the ingredients appear on the board:
Water
10 drops Valerian root
10 drops Salamander Blood
2 dock leaves
1 Ashwinder Egg
4 sprigs Fluxweed
10 drops Murtlap Essence
2 sprigs Parsley
3 spoons Raw honey
5 Basil leaves
1 whole Papaya
1 Ginger Root
17 Reishi (mushroom of immortality)
"
Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class.
Vickers smiled to himself, happy that he got one of the ingredients right. And given the list of other ingredients listed he was starting to form in his head how this potion might actually work. He drew out a fresh parchment and his quill and began to list the ingredients down in his notes.
He looked up again wondering what the 5Cs were. Was that some kind of spell? He hesitated for a moment before proceeded to prepare his potions materials anyway, the way he always did it at Salem. He took out his cauldron and scourgified it to clean it, inspecting it for any cracks just to make sure it wouldnt leak. It was then that he cast the aguamenti spell and filled the cauldron with water.
