Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN

Scourgifying his cup, 'cause he wasn't going to switch over to another house, Ascanius found himself pondering which tea to try next. 'Course he was probably going to have to side toward Gryffindor. Because, well, obvious reasons.

Anyway, he leaned forward and grabbed their tea box and scribbled down each of the ingredients in Gryffindor's tea. Yep, yep.

Now time to actually make it.

Throwing it all together, he mumbled, "Aguamenti.... Chaudensis" Nice and steamy and it smelled kind of....sharp. A little frantic, even. Huh. How fitting.

Raising it to his lips, he took a small sip and nearly dropped his cup. HOT. VERY HOT.


SPOILER!!: parchment

Slytherin
horsetail known as 'living fossil'; only surviving plant from Paleozoic period; reference to the age and 'surviving'/persevering qualities of Slytherins; most noble house.
nettles known as the stinging plant; Slytherins are known as having sharp wit and are never taken advantage of; have their own 'sting' in a way.
lemon balm it is used for flavour and put in many ice creams; it makes things taste good; and I'm pretty sure this a hint at how brilliant we all snog.
hibiscus; means delicate beauty and old royalty; no further explanation needed.

Gryffindor
Dandelion leaf it helps the body metabolize things more effectively; Gryffindors have the most unbelievable stomaches; they can eat anything and be thin as rails
Borage used to improve the taste of things; protects other plants; refers to Gryffindors fierce loyalty...almost violent, yeah?
Basil sweet smell; they smell good? Dunno.
Sarsaparilla used for flavouring; could refer to their adept ability to snog...which I can confirm is quite talented
