Lafay was leaving?

Ella hoped nothing bad had happened. The blonde also wasn't completely comfortable because some of the first years should probably not be left alone brewing whatever they wanted from their text book. She'd seen what could happen when a potion went wrong and yeah, it was unsettling. At least Wade and Kat were around to take charge if needed. She'd help too, of course. She'd just need to keep an eye out for anyone having trouble is all. She also needed to figure out what potion she was going to make. Hm.

After scanning the textbook a bit, the blonde settled on the basic sleeping draft. She was no stranger to nightmares and it couldn't hurt to get some experience making this particular potion.

SPOILER!!: Text Book

Basic Sleeping Draft

Use/Effect:
The basic sleeping draft is to be used before bedtime in order to aid in sleeping. However, it should not be used longer than a week or two or one may start falling asleep at odd times of the day.

Ingredients:
water (500mL)
lavender (a pinch; crushed)
chamomile (a handful; crushed)
for nightmares: purslane (a pinch)
for more powerful brew: ginger (a pinch)

Instructions:
Bring water to a slow boil.
Add lavender and stir 21 times, counter-clockwise.
Add chamomile and let simmer for 20 minutes (potion should be pale, clear, purple with a tint of green, though the green may not always be observable)
For nightmares: add a pinch of purslane and stir 5 times, counter-clockwise
For a more powerful brew: add a pinch of ginger and stir 5 times, counter-clockwise

Notes:
Potion can be stored for up to a month, though it is advisable to brew a fresh batch weekly.
