Erin was very nervous about brewing her first potion. She read the instructions carefully, then gathered her ingredients. She measured out her water, put the moonstone in the cauldron, and added the water to it. She heated the cauldron until the water and moonstone boiled for 5 minutes. She then added the belladonna and nettles, and boiled the solution for an additional 5 minutes. She reduced the heat to a simmer, and breathed a sigh of relief. 'This isn't too bad so far, you just have to follow the directions,' she thought. After 5 minutes was up, she began the stirring. First 20 times clockwise, then 20 times counter-clockwise. She smiled when her potion ended up being clear, and she scooped it into the goblet beside her. 'hmm... I guess I will make a solution for blue hair' she thought, 'after all, I am a ravenclaw.' She grabbed her wand, and touched it to the potion. She thought 'blue' very hard as she said "Coloro." The potion turned blue, so she sat back and waited for futher instructions.
