Once Fiona had ensured that her Potions making equipment was nice and clean, she began to make the potion. She carefully measured and poured the two cups of water into her cauldron before carefully heating the cauldron under a low heat causing the water to simmer gently. Fiona then measured the two cups of elf-made vinegar and poured it into the cauldron.

Using her mortar and pestle, Fiona slowly crushed the three Dransul leaves until acid formed. Picking up her dropper, she extracted a small amount of acid and three drops slowly went into the mixture. Using her stirrer, the potion was stirred three times in a counter-clockwise direction. Fiona then gave the equipment that was no longer needed a clean with a quick cleaning spell.

Using her tweezers, Fiona grabbed three billywig stingers before dropping them into the potion. Pausing for a moment, Fiona waited for the colour of the potion to alter to a dark burgundy which it thankfully did.

Taking in a small breath, Fiona pointed her wand at the potion and moved it in a spiral. "Agitatum," she cast, causing the potion to begin to move inside the cauldron. Fiona then added the snargaluff pod.

The Snakette used a non-verbal spell to extinguish her flame and waited for her potion to cool down. She once again cleaned her tools whilst she waited for the potion to change colour. Fiona breathed a small sigh of relief as the swirling potion turned black.
