Phoenix's usually do not take a mate, as they do not need to reproduce, but when they find true love... they never leave them. Sad, I know..." she said shrugging, "but it's loss is our gain. As he knew I was teaching at Hogwarts now, he made the donation of the tears to the potions lab here at the castle." To be used for the betterment of students... Bloody donor intent. She would have loved to keep all the tears for her own experiments... but she wasn't using all of them in this class... some she did keep in her personal stores. "The donor has asked to be kept anonymous. This also means if you mess up your potion you will not be asked to make another."

She smiled at the prefect and summoned her ingredients to her desk. "Do retrieve your ingredients, the only one you won't find are the phoenix tears, those I will come around and administer when the time comes. Now," she said and looked into the cauldron filled with goat's milk, "Mortar and pestle out and begin working on crushing the yellow moonstone. Yellow moonstone helps with the de-aging by energizing the milk, and causing the regression in your DNA." She said crushing it. "Grind it to a powder and then sprinkle it in the cauldron as you stir."


aww, Emmaleigh wanted to cry as Professor Lafay told the story of the phoenixes. She loved animals, and hated to hear about one dyeing. Buts she would not cry, no she wouldn't. She did not want to get fussed at for "contaminating" the potion. Apparently they were supposed to have the cauldron over the fire already, so she placed hers over it. She picked up her quill, and continued to write her notes, All the while listening to the slytherin prefect question Lafay again.

Potions Lesson II

De-aging potion
(This formula lowers ages, but not mental capacity)

Ingredinets
  • 1 gallon of goat's milk.
  • 1 tsp of crushed Yellow Moonstone
  • 2 lacewing flies
  • 10 Shrivelfigs
  • 2 tbsp of chopped knotgrass
  • 1 drop of Leech juice
  • 5 drops Pomegranite juice
  • 1 tsp bicorn horn, crushed
  • 1 phoenix tear
  • 1 daisy root, finely chopped
  • 2 sprigs of Fluxweed
  • 2 peppermint toads
  • 1 chocolate frog
  • 1 liquorish wand
Method
Step 1: Clean Cauldron!
Step 2: Fill cauldron with goats milk. (closest animal milk to mother’s milk)
Step 3: Crush moonstone with mortar and pestle. When it is a powder, stir cauldron as it is sprinkled in. (Yellow Moonstone energises the milk, and causes regression)


Emmaleigh headed to the storeroom to gather the rest of the ingredients she would need, and then returned to her table. She moved her mortar and pestle and sat it right in front of her, and cast scourgify again. once she was convince that it was clean, she sat the moonstone in it, and began to crush it. Once it was turned into a fine powder, she slowly sprinkled it into the cauldron, as she stirred the milk.
