Aurora smiled and nodded in agreement at what Professor Cox said in response to her. She continued to take notes as he spoke to the class, wondering what potion they would be brewing today. Obviously it would relate to fire and could be used alongside Kenaz.

Oooh the Fire Protection Potion.

That piqued Aurora's interest. This was one of the potions that he mother brewed quite often, but she had never made it herself before. It was always nice when she got to brew a potion for the first time. As Professor Cox talked about the potion she continued to take her meticulous notes. Idris asked some good questions, and Professor Cox's response to him was also written down. Since she was an OWL student she was happy to be able to do the extra step.

Ready to begin, Aurora started by using Scorgify on her cauldron. Just to make sure that there wasn't any dirt or dust in her cauldron. She had a brass cauldron, and was glad to know that it would offer the best stability to the potion. Once she was sure that her cauldron was clean she set about gathering all the ingredients that she would need, laying them out in front of her.

The 500mL of distilled water was added to her cauldron, and she set it to a low flame. Once the water had reached a gentle boil, she slowly added the ten drops of salamander blood. Then she used her silver stirring rod to give it three clockwise stirs. Aurora was happy to see that her potion turned to a glowing orange colour. Using the mortar and pestle she set about crushing the three fire seeds. Once she felt that they were crushed enough, she added one silver spoonful to the potion, waiting for it to fully dissolve before she added another spoonful. After repeating that process with the rest of the crushed fire seeds, she gave the potion two clockwise stirs.

With her knife, Aurora next set about dicing the two bursting mushroom tops into small pieces. After they were added, she watched the small bubbles that formed, relieved when she saw that the vapors they released when popped resembled butter. According to what Professor Cox told Cat that meant she was on the right track. Hopefully the younger girl would be able to either salvage her potion or have better luck if she decided to start over again. Aurora would be happy to help her if needed.

The 5g of dragon scale shavings were sprinkled in and Aurora saw it spark. It was green, so she knew that she was still doing things correctly. Next came three slow clockwise stirs. She made sure that each stir lasted as long as five 'hippocampus'es muttered under her breath. The 3g of wartcap powder was slowly added to the potion. It immediately started to thicken, and she watched as it turned the shade of dark forest green that it was supposed to. The four drops of essence of murltap were then added, the potion being stirred after each drop. The potion turned to a vivid purple with gold flecks in it.

Now it was time for her extra step as an OWL student. Aurora added a pinch of the phoenix feather barbs in. The potion got four counterclockwise stirs after that. The heat was then reduced, and Aurora let the potion simmer for five minutes.

After the five minutes, the potion was removed from the heat and she waited patiently for it to cool down. Once her potion had turned a rich cerulean colour and the flecks had turned to a copper colour, Aurora knew that her potion was ready. She carefully added some to her phial and worked on labeling it.
