The process had slowed down some, but Sophie still felt like she could get finished before the class ended. She only had a few more notes to take, and really, how hard could that be? She looked down at what she'd already put on her parchment and re-read it. Yup. It looked AWESOME.
So she took another sip of her tea and got ready to take some more notes. Ohh, lemon balm! Sophie didn't really like anything with lemon, but for the purpose of the assignment, she could probably come up with something to say. She dipped her quill in ink and got ready to add this newest ingredient to her notes.

Slytherin Tea
1. Horsetail - Horsetail has the ability to strengthen a person's bones. I think this is similar to Slytherins, because we're always looking for ways to make ourselves bigger and better. If we're stronger, we have a better chance of being on top, winning, and going after our goals.
2. Nettles - Nettles are known for their healing properties, so I think this might be good for the Slytherin tea, because it'll help make us as healthy as possible. Slytherins would want to be healthy, so they could always be at their best. We can't go around winning as much if we're sick, can we?
3. Lemon Balm - Although I really don't like anything lemon-y, I can see why this ingredient would be added to a Slytherin tea. Lemon balm is known to calm and soothe people. I can honestly see a Slytherin wanting to give this to someone rather than drink it themselves. They would want to calm someone to either help defeat them or help do better than them. If they did drink it themselves, though, it would probably be to help them calm down before a big exam or Quidditch match.
