Sander quickly leaned forward when the Professor started speaking again giving them further instructions. He quickly scribbled all that down in his journal.



Now it was time to follow the steps and start making the potion. He looked down at his notes and it was then he noticed that big word that the Professor had used. Homogenous. He needed to figure out what it meant, so he first checked to make sure no one was looking before digging inside his backpack for his pocket dictionary. He flipped through the pages until he came across the word. Ahhh...it meant of the same or similar nature of kind.


"Guess that's supposed to mean same consistency? Sander thought to himself. Okay now that he had that figured out he first pulled out his mortar and pestle and a wooden stick from his kit. He pointed his wand at the three items and said, "Scourgify" proceeding to clean each of them. When he was satisfied they had been thoroughly cleaned upon examination, he ended the spell.

Now it was time to add the ingredients. He picked up the powdered feather and poured it into the cauldron filled with water. Then he picked up the wooden stick and began stirring it clockwise allowing the powder to blend in well with the water. He kept stirring until he arrived at the desired consistency.

He reviewed his notes again before picking up his wand and pointing it at the burner, said, "Incendio". A small flame shot out from his wand and lit the burner. Sander ended the spell with "Finite" before adjusting the knob on the burner until the heat to high.

Next he put on his dragon hide gloves and then picked up the dish containing the mychosis fungus and added it into the mortar. He then picked up his pestle and began crushing the fungus applying pressure for thirty seconds. Then he added some water in the mortar, then tapped and shaked the mortar with his pestle to allow the crushed fungus to mix in well with the water.

Once he was sure that the water and the fungus was thoroughly mixed, Sander picked up the mortar and slowly added into the now bubbling water in the cauldron.

Picking up his quill, he scratched off the steps he had completed in his journal.


It was only after he had completed the first portion of the potion making did he realize that others were also what homogenous meant. So he whispered hopefully loud enough for the others to hear.

"Pssst....the word homogenous means of the same consistency. So you're supposed to mix the powdered feather with the water until it is thoroughly and properly mixed. Hope that helps," Sander told anyone who was listening.
