So they were going to brew a concentration potion. That was quite cool to be honest. Maybe she could use it to help her focus more on classes and not about other things. She listened to the professor a bit long before getting up and collecting everything she needed. Going back to her seat she checked her notes and double checked her ingredients.
SPOILER!!: notes
Add water to cauldron, bring to a boil
Add two Ginkgo Biloba seeds to a small bowl, add two tablespoons of boiling water from the cauldron and leave for ten minutes to soften.
Slice the GB leaves into thin strips (approximately 2mm wide) with your knife and sprinkle into cauldron.
Grind in mortar and pestle until you create a paste, and add this to the cauldron.
Prepare the leaves/flowers
Add in the leaves and flowers one by one. Some might sink, others will remain floating. Leave for fifteen minutes.
In the meantime, light a tealight candle and put to eye height (to avoid straining neck and back), an arms width from the body (prop on books if needed)
Gaze at the candle flame until your eyes feel like they need to blink, then close your eyes. Concentrate on the image of the candle in your mind (the after image). Repeat for fifteen minutes.
Pour the wax from the candle into the cauldron.
Cast the incantation Mentis Apertus (men-tees ah-peh-rr-tus), whilst circling the want over the cauldron, perform three times.
Remove all leaves and flowers from the cauldron, adding them to the mortar and pestle. Grind them until they form a herby paste, and add it back to the cauldron.
Stir the potion 20 times, slowly, clockwise, with a wooden stirrer.
Remove it from the heat.
Layer two pieces of cheesecloth material over your strainer, to catch more of the solid ingredients. Strain the potion into your vials.
By the end, your potion should yield 500 milliliters. Divide this into 50-milliliter vials. Hand one up for marking and you may take the others.
Seeing that she had everything her wand pointed into her cauldron she cleaned it and then set it back down and flicked her wand to turn on the burner. The first step was to put water in the cauldron well that was easy enough. A quick Aguamenti and the water was coming out of her wand.
Filling the cauldron up to the needed spot she set it down to bring to a boil. Her brown eyes lifted to see Miranda looking off, "Come over here and work with me Miranda." She was working at a workstation alone so there was room.
