Hogwarts RPG Name:

Fifth Year
Default Peeking at person's cauldron next to her...



SPOILER!!: Eliza's Potions Notes

Eliza Dawnsel
Ravenclaw - 2nd Year

Noxious Potion
- Emits a green smoke that corrupts the mind into thinking it's poisonous and noxious.
- The smell can be so strong that it can make you pass out, or feel ill and throw up.
- Pretty much can't be consumed/ingested. You'd just throw it up anyway.
- Useful as a distraction, by tossing the vial on the ground to release the gas
- It can injure the victim indirectly by making them pass out and fall, hurting themselves.

Ingredients:
  • Cow Milk - to fill cauldron half way.
  • 5 Doxy eggs
  • 10 grams of Sulfur
  • 2 ounces of armadillo bile
  • 4 cups of flobberworm mucus
  • 1 cup of whale oil
  • 2 cups of Mountain Troll Dung - try to get some with chunks. Ew.
  • 1 Lemon's juice
  • Handful of Poppy seeds

Procedure:
1. Fill cauldron half way with the milk
2. Set burner on low
3. Crack one doxy egg at a time and drop into cauldron (No shell?)
4. Stir counter clockwise after each egg.
5. Do that for all five eggs
6. Put on gloves
7. Crumple the 10 grams of sulfur into the cauldron



Yup, it was smelly all right. She moved on to the next step after she copied down what Professor Lafay had to say. Picking up one of the doxy eggs, she twisted and turned it in her hand to inspect the shell. It didn't appear to have any cracks in it yet, so that was probably a good sign, right? But that caused her to pause. Wait...after we crack them, do we put the shells in too? That would give the potion even more doxy egg material to work with right? It made sense to her, but she knew when you were cooking you never - ever- put the shells in. She didn't want to be wrong and ruin the whole thing so early on in the procedure, so she looked around the room to see if anyone else had put the shells into their potions. The cauldron next to her was close enough to look into, so she tried to be inconspicuous about it while she leaned over to get a glimpse. Hopefully the student next to her wouldn't mind....

It didn't look like there were any shells in their cauldron, so she cracked an egg on her own cauldron and let the slimy insides slip out and plop into the cauldron. She then picked up her stirrer, gave it a quick clean, and stirred her potion COUNTER clockwise. She knew the direction was SUPER important. She'd learned that last year. Well...nothing bad happened, so I guess sans shells was right? She went on to do the same thing with the four remaining eggs.

She cleaned her gloves that were setting on the table with another cast of Scourgify!" and then put them on. They were a bit thicker than she'd like, but she supposed that was to keep them safe from intense ingredients or something. She grabbed a pinch of sulfur to test what crumbling it up would be like. It was odd, to be sure. It was good that it was already sort of a compressed powder form, because that made it crumple up more easily. She grabbed the rest of the sulfur and broke it down in her gloves, then dumped it into the cauldron and brushed the rest off as well. The yellow flakes slowly drifted down into the odd milky and now egg-slimed potion.
