Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Right. Don't be late. Easily done. Why give him one more thing to frown about while she was around? On time she could and would do.

Remembering all the times she'd gone ahead and awoken the man's ire, Jessa chose to fall in line with him as he explained the steps. Nevermind they were all in the textbook, he seemed to have a problem with anyone stepping outside the grain. Luckily, this wasn't a problem for the young girl. She hated standing out and found it much easier to simply fit in line with whatever was being expected--in most cases. The 6th year reached for her glass stirring rod and knife then ran them twice through the hottest part of the flame on her burner--didn't need him telling her it was the blue part but she assumed that was for the benefit of others. One then the other, carefully she took them through the flames until she felt it was enough.

Jessa carefully set both instruments down then reached for her rosemary. As suggested, she started at the small end, and pulled the stalk through her pinched fingers to get all the leaves off at once.Huh. It really was easy. Surely not as easy as charming it to do the task itself but she'd let the man have it.

The chopping though....would definitely be magical. She was aware she'd never get it finer than she could if the knife was animated to do this job specifically. It could not be distracted, it would not make mistakes so that was what she did. Jessa leaned against her table and watched the knife work. That done, she measured one tablespoon of the stuff. It amused her that he felt the need to emphasize the "table”. Showed just how much faith in had in them and their own reading abilities. She sprinkleed it over the top of her potion and began stirring clockwise--just the two stirs.

Jessa reached for her murtlap tentacles and again charmed her knife to get to work cutting them in halves lengthwise as the man--and her textbook--instructed. It was much more efficient this way and allowed her to give more of her attention to the Professor despite any real need for this. Next she added the 10 drops of honeywater and and charmed the whole thing to toss itself about in like fashion to salad making or whatever it was the Professor had been doing. This achieved a more thorough job. The whole pile was added to her cauldron, just before she added the tea tree oil.

Oh, they were back to sterilization? Right. Jessa sterilized her stirring rod once more then stirred her potion once clockwise, then another stir in a counter-clockwise motion. The 17 year old stared down into her cauldron for a colour check. It wasn't so much that she thought it wouldn't be the way it should be, but rather it was good practice to assess your potions as you went along, so she did. Yep, murky green, all good here.

The three dried leeches were levitated into her mortar just before she animated the pestle to start its crushing. This was also sprinkled in.

With the warning about the next step, it was also another she felt more confident carrying out with magic. Copying the man, Jessa ran her knife through the flames again while she charmed her leaves to roll themselves. The knife she charmed to begin its work of shredding.

Before adding it, she measured out three inches of Wiggentree bark. While Professor's tip was 'useful', Jessa wouldn't be grating herself and disregarded it as a result. Much like everything else, charms were again heavily at work. It just gave the job such a polished feel to it. The Ravenclaw added her dittany, followed by the grated Wiggentree bark.

Again with the emphasis, Professor.

Her 250ml of salamander blood was already measured out. Yeah. So. Slowly, she poured it into her cauldron in the figure eight the man had mentioned. Next she added ¼ teaspoon of silver powder to the section in the middle of the eight where things crossed and stirred three times following the figure of eight shape. Unsurprisingly the colour began fading to a pale silvery grey.

Jessa turned her heat off then added boom berry juice. Here she stirred clockwise until the potion became thick and white.That made her finished and in no danger of remaining here for lunch.

No thanks.


SPOILER!!: Notes
Ingredients
  • 500 ml of water
  • 500 ml of horklump juice
  • 5 drops flobberworm mucus
  • 10 blue-bottle fly larvae
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
  • 100g pickled murtlap tentacles
  • 10 drops of honeywater
  • 5 drops tea tree oil
  • 3 leeches
  • 2 cups of shredded dittany
  • 3 inches of Wiggentree bark, grated
  • 250 ml salamander blood
  • ¼ teaspoon powdered silver
  • 250 ml boom berry juice

Recipe

Remember to work with aseptic techniques throughout.
1. Clean your cauldron with Scourgify, and then sterilise it using Incendio Tria
2. Add 500ml water and 500ml horklump juice and bring to a rolling boil
3. Add 5 drops of flobberworm mucus
4. Drop in the larvae one at a time
5. Strip the leaves off the rosemary (leaving the woody stalk behind), chop finely, and sprinkle into the potion. Stir twice clockwise.
6. Slice the murtlap tentacles lengthways, toss with the honeywater, and add to the cauldron.
7. Add 5 drops of tea tree oil.
8. Stir once clockwise, once counter-clockwise.
9. Crush the three dried leeches in your pestle and mortar and sprinkle it in.
10. Add two cups of finely shredded dittany, and immediately add in the grated Wiggentree bark.
11. Slowly pour in the salamander blood in a figure of eight motion.
12. Add ¼ teaspoon of powdered silver and stir three times following the figure of 8 shape you made with the salamander blood. The potion’s colour should fade to pale grey.
13. Turn of the heat. Add the boom berry juice, and stir clockwise until the potion resembles a thick white ointment. It now needs to be left for 24 hours at room temperature before it’s safe to use.
