Default Potions Lesson 1





It had turned snowy outside, and the walk along the potions corridor to the first class after Christmas was a little nippy. Inside the classroom it was a tad warmer, Noble having already lit his burner at the front of the class to try and take the chilly edge off the room. Thankfully today's class was a practical one, as evidenced by the trays of ingredients on the side bench, and the room would soon warm up once they started the brewing proper.

Noble lent against the front of his desk, sipping a strong, dark coffee from the new travel mug his daughter had gifted him for Christmas. His gaze moved to the door and the students entering. "Hurry up and come in...let's try keep some of the heat in the room, shall we?" Any other day he would have them turn on their burners early whilst they were covering the theory, but that hardly seemed a wise idea with the initial experiment they'd be performing today.

Well...this was going to be interesting. A trust exercise with the girlfriend who he was currently kind of sort of still fighting with. Forget being on the same page, they weren't even in the same library as each other the past week or so and it sucked.

So did this activity and Eiji was less than enthusiastic about impairing his brewing abilities. It was as though Professor Noble wanted to torture him specifically and the look of disdain he shot the man conveyed as much. Though he did not let it linger for too long despite wanting to. Though, in a twist of ironic fate, he and Missa were in sync on the matter and that made his chest feel stupidly light. "Probably counting on it," he murmured in response, finishing up a bit of obligatory notes before setting his quill down. "I'll get them," he grumbled to Missa before getting up off his stool and moving to retrieve a pair for himself and a pair for her. "Let's get this over with," he grumbled before practically slamming his pair on.

.......and he could see absolutely nothing.

Nope. Nope. He was not doing this. He was not going to waist ingredients like this when he knew he would fail. Even if they were just potions storeroom ones and not those from his own personal supply. And his posture said as much as he folded his arms across his chest and huffed like the mature 14-year-old that he was. "....this is irritating."

So ummm.. this should be fun.

Kamryn moved over to the bench and grabbed the goggles, she returned to her desk and made sure she had all her ingredients before she put the goggles on. She blinked as she slid the goggles over her eyes and her vision went super blurry..

“Oh Merlin. ” She groaned out as she fumbled around and squinted.. Gah how could anyone see what they were doing with these things on?

She squinted and then moved her hand around, trying to find where her mortar and pestle was! She squinted and moved her face very close to her table, trying to see if she could make anything out or if it was just going to be fuzzy and she would have to wing it..

Okay.. there was her mortar.. she felt it with her hands before moving her hands slowly across her desk to find her measuring spoons.

She squinted at them.

Which one was a teaspoon?

Nina knew how to navigate near-sightedness. She had been doing it for the past four years. Typically with glasses or contacts, but again, the last few weeks before the winter holiday had given her enough practice to know how to navigate. While she had to squint when double checking the numerical values of each ingredient, she very easily managed to three teaspoons of each standard ingredient, beetle eyes, and valerian sprigs with 4 drops of Lethe River water with her mortar and pestle.

Only she had quite the standard to uphold. Doing a potion correctly would only ruin what she had been working toward all year. And so, she “””accidentally””” added an extra drop of Lethe River water and a single beetle eye in excess.

There.

Now it was perfect.

Sebastian had been here the whole time…he was just a little distracted and hadn’t really been paying attention until Professor Noble mentioned their first activity. Wearing vision impairing goggles whilst trying to measure out different potion ingredients sounded like a really good time, and Sebastian was excited to see which goggles he got.

The Hufflepuff went up to the tray with the different goggles and grabbed a pair before walking back to his station. He grinned, holding back a chuckle, watching Kam try to scoop ingredients with her goggles on. It was actually really funny to see. But in all seriousness, he knew it was no laughing matter, especially for those that were blind.

Placing the goggles over his eyes, he quickly had to adjust to get used to the complete blurriness. It was really…frustrating. It only seemed to be blurry when he looked out at far distances, close up was easier. “Well, this will be interesting,” he said to himself. He quickly bent over his station and looked for his mortar and pestle. Finding it rather easily, he searched for the teaspoon. That took a little longer but eventually, by feeling around his station, he found the measuring spoons and holding them up very close to his face searched for the teaspoon size.

Soon he was searching for his container of beetle eyes, accidentally knocking over his mortar and making a very loud racket. “Sorry,” he said sheepishly as he picked it up and placed it back where he had it. He finally found the container of beetle eyes and scooped and dumped three tablespoons into the mortar.

Now to find the Valerian Sprigs! He moved his head as close to the table as he possibly could and looked for them. Through the blurred vision, he found them, doling out the required amount. Again, he moved his head over the surface of the table as close as he possibly could to find the Lethe River water. Once he found it he squeezed out 4 drops of the water into the mortar.

How he did it, he wasn’t sure, but he managed better than he thought he would! Sebastian sat and waited for further instructions. At least with these goggles on he wasn’t distracted by all the pretty girls and cute guys in the room. It really was becoming a problem.

Okay she has found the teaspoon.. hopefully.

Merlin she couldn’t even look at the board to figure out what the heck she needed to measure!

Standard ingredient.. that was one.

She rummaged around her desk and squinted.. was this it? She wasn’t sure,, but it would have to do.. she carefully dipped her teaspoon in and then scooped some up and put it in her mortar.. hopefully.

She repeated the action two more times.. before squinting and what else was on her table.. blobs... she saw blobs..

Okay.. well she pulled another container towards her and squinted more.. Beetles eyes?

Probably?

She scooped those out with her teaspoon... and hopefully most of it made it in?

Now what?

Valerian Sprigs? How many of those? Three? Sure why not.. that went into the mortar.. as did the Lethe river water.. though if she was honest that might have gone all over her table.. Gah!!

Analiese removed her hand from the bowl of beetle eyes and pulled out a tissue. She wiped her dirty hand and carefully placed the tissue on her workstation. She grabbed the jar of standard ingredient and looked around for a teaspoon. Was that a teaspoon? The young Claw grasped the teaspoon and scooped three teaspoons of standard ingredient into her mortar. She replaced the lid on the jar and squinted at the board. Two... no, there teaspoons of... beetle eyes. She knew exactly where the bowl of beetle eyes was. The 12-year-old clutched the bowl and dragged it over to her mortar and pestle. She dipped her teaspoon into the bowl and dug out three teaspoons of beetle eyes. She dropped them into the mortar.

Now what? Analiese turned back towards the board and squinted at it. Merlin, these goggles were giving her a headache now.

Patrick didn’t realize he should have said an individual creature. But why should he have said an individual creature? His answer encompasses them all. But not taking it hard he just decided to write the others and ignore the fact that everyone else said a specific creature.

Hearing the instructions for the next part of the class he followed the others and grabbed a pair of goggles and headed back to his bench. Seeing that he had all the ingredients that Nobel had he began to set out doing the task. Taking a deep breath and pulling the goggles down over his head and onto his eyes he kept those things shut afraid of what kind of goggles he had grabbed.

Deep breath... open eyes. He thought as he opened them and saw absolutely nothing.”great” of course he would get the ones that took his vision. He felt for the beetle eyes remembering three. Now he was patting the bench like Ray Charles playing the piano—forcefully with a rhythm... not a good one but he figured it was the only way to find those pesky valerian sprigs.

To no luck he couldn’t find them at least he wasn’t certain so he grabbed what he thought and added those in too. “Those who are blind have it rough” he didn’t realize just how hard it was to not have good vision or vision at all. He sought out his Lethe River water to try and complete the task but at this point he wasn’t sure if it was water or not.

Oh well.

Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

Well…this was going about as disastrously as he expected it to go, to be honest.

Whilst Gunnar and Vita looked like they were taking a moment to adjust to their new view of the world and plan their approach, and Eniola and Maeve tried to overcome each other’s ailments by working as a team, others had launched straight in. Daisy was obviously wearing short-sighted goggles, with the way she was holding her notebook to read it….and Avalon too, perhaps, though he wasn’t sure was crouching down accomplished other than blocking some of the light. It was a good job this wasn’t actually the oculus potion like the first year thought. Elsewhere, several students were flailing around wildly trying to find the right vials and equipment. Sterling was still yet to put a hand on anything useful, and Patrick looked like he was…well, what was he doing? At least Kamryn finally found the right spoon. And while Eloise and Tina had found ingredients, unfortunately they hadn’t been the right ones – he’d said beetle eyes, Tina…not dried fish eyes. A glance round suggested that Kaiser was finally joining in the lesson having put down the quill with a bit of attitude…but Missa and Eiji were just sitting there. He could almost feel the stubbornness radiating out of the Slytherin, and he might well have to have words later. It was unlike him.

Perseverance had eventually led some people to have something vaguely resembling a potion, even though their desks, quite frankly, were a mess – here’s looking at you, Maeve, Lucas and Sebastian. The younger Gryffindor clearly hadn’t tried to measure anything, going by the watery concoction in his mortar, whereas the Hufflepuff had a dry, clumpy paste, from using tablespoons of beetle eyes rather than teaspoons. The surprise of the day, however, was Nina’s potion. She’d been quiet and reserved so far, with by far the best results. Her purposeful extra beetle eye and drop of Lethe River water had effected things, but perhaps not as much as she might have hoped. Her potion was lighter than perfect, but it was still a shade of pale blue.

Throughout all of this, Noble was as watchful as ever, but unnervingly quiet. Usually, he wasted no time at all in pointing out a wrong step and vanishing ruined efforts. After 10 minutes, however, it was time to move on. “You may take off your goggles,” he announced over the general hubbub. “And take a look at your results. If all went to plan, your mixture should be periwinkle blue and makes a good facemask, so my daughter tells me.” It wasn’t as if he’d tried it.

“Once you’ve thoroughly cleaned up your work area, we’ll be moving on to brewing the Oculus Potion.” His gaze moved over the room, hoping that they knew what thoroughly cleaned meant by the point in term. “And to answer your question from earlier, Cordelia, no, the oculus potion cannot restore sight beyond natural levels. If you’re short-sighted, for example, it’ll cure conjunctivitis, but you’ll still have problems seeing in the distance after use.” Hopefully that was clear.

He gave them a few moments to finish up their cleaning, before starting to lead them in the brewing process. Noble strongly believed in teaching by demonstration. “Please measure out one cup of murtlap essence, and bring it to a low simmer. Whilst it heats up, weigh out 5 grams of dried ginkgo and 5 grams of dried eyebright.” As usual, since they weren’t standard ingredients, they were available to collect from the side bench.

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Daisy was very relieved when Professor Noble told the class to remove their goggles. Removing her pair, Daisy blinked a few times in order to get her vision used to how it was prior. Peering down at her potion, Daisy was pleased with the sight of her periwinkle blue potion.

The teenager listened to Professor Noble's instructions very carefully and then proceeded to thoroughly and magically clean her workstation, equipment and all. She then headed for the side bench and carefully measured a cup of murtlap essence. Heading back to her workstation, Daisy slowly started to heat up the essence. As she waited for that particular ingredient to heat up, she returned to the side bench and measured five grams each of dried gingko and dried eyebright.

Kam pulled off her goggles to find a mess.. welp. That hadn’t gone well at all. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed, she was usually so good at potions but apparently not when she couldn’t see.

She banished the ingredients that were all over her desk and then after a quick scourgify over her tools and her mortar and pestle she was ready to get started. She quickly pulled her hair up out of the way in a bun, as she started to heat up her warmer. She stuck her cauldron on the burner and then moved to get her murtlap essence.

One cup was carefully brought back. And she slowly tipped it into the cauldron, making sure that nothing spilled.

While that was warming up. She moved to the side bench and carefully measured out five grams each of dried ginko and dried eyebright.

She brought the ingredients back in two small bowls and set them to the side, waiting for the essence to simmer.

.... Nina Castillo was very upset. Not only had her potion ACTUALLY turned near the color it was meant to turn, but she was also one of the only successful brewers in the entire classroom. You'd think that she'd be happy that her potion turned out great, but SHE WAS NOT. She was the OPPOSITE of happy, though she worked very hard not to show this on her face. Instead she turned to those next to her, "amateur's luck." Was there such a thing? Well, there was NOW. Because she would not let anyone associate this with her intelligence. Thank you and good day!

She did, however, plan to use it as a face mask because she would not let any good beauty product go to waste. It was the least Professor Noble could do for her honestly.

The Slytherin removed the goggles as instructed, covering up the mixture so that no one else could see it's periwinkle shade. An Oculus potion. One, which, had no real use at the moment, but could perhaps come in handy in the future. Making sure her cauldron was empty, the fourth year cast a "scourgify" in order to clean it, knowing that she'd get yelled at otherwise. Then she carefully measured out one cup of murtlap essence, bringing it to a low simmer with the flame she had cast with "incendio". As it was heating up, the Slytherin turned her attention to her other ingredients, which she had to retrieve from the side bench. While there, she carefully weighed out just enough dried ginkgo and dried eyebright to reach 5 grams each.

She'd only tamper with her potions at the end. Duh.

Uhhhhh......

Pulling off his goggles, Lucas stared in HORROR at the sight in front of him. His desk was completely messy and, even worse, it looked like he'd made porridge that had a little too much milk in it. Grabbing the end of the pestle, he, uh, scooped (?) a bit out and let it fall, a slightly disgusted expression on his face.

It was safe to say that he was very glad to hear that they were moving on. Could he throw the other mix in the bin? Was that safe? He looked around, silently hoping that an answer would magically pop out for him. When none did, he....... just went about emptying it as best as he could. Was it the right way? He didn't care. At least the work station will be clean, right?

Which, by the way, took MUCH longer than he would've liked.

When he was done, the third year did start with the potion by cleaning up the equipment - which counted, right? - and THEN starting with the ingredients. One cup of murtlap essence? In you go! And the heat was turned up until it was at...... a low simmer, did he say? A low simmer.

Maybe he should pay more attention to the kitchen when he got home for the summer.

Next: weighing. This was a bit better, something much simpler and something he could do. Getting up, he moved over to the side bench and started measuring out the dried ginkgo and the dried eyebright. Five grams each, right? Five grams.

It was only when he had the required amount that he moved back to his workstation and looked over the potion that was slowly heating up.

Eni felt like a mess. Her hair felt five times bigger and her potion was more hot pink than a periwinkle blue. Eni normally would’ve been devastated but having been temporarily blind and trying to make this potion was much more complicated than she would have cared to admit. Especially seeing Nina’s potion.

Dumping the hot pink mess and thoroughly cleaning her cauldron out. She grabbed the necessary ingredients for Oculus Potion as per her textbook and began to measure out the murtlap essence as Professor Noble said. Letting that simmer she began to weigh her ginkgo and eyebright. She felt confident in this one at least. It probably won’t come out hot pink.

After continuing to semi-flail around, Archer still hadn't managed to find her teaspoon, much less get anything in her cauldron. At least it was just a face mask, right? She pulled off the goggles, thankful to be back to her normal vision. Even if she did have to blink a couple of times to readjust her eyes. Just in time to move on to the actual oculus potion.

She took the time to properly clean her station, even though she hadn't actually managed to get anything mixed because, well, you never knew. That complete, she measured out one cup of the murtlap essence, added it to her cauldron and put it on to shimmer. While it was shimmering, she measured out the five grams each of dried gingko and eyebright and returned to her station.

Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

As he weighed out his own ingredients, Noble was glad to see the classroom starting to resemble normality again and some normal brewing resume. Normal, however, didn’t necessarily mean good, and the Potions Professor grumbled. He could see from the front bench that Lucas’ flame was turned up much too high. “I said low simmer Lucas, not rolling boil. Please open the air hole on your burner to lower the temperature before you boil the essence dry.”

That said, he looked around the rest of the room to see how they were getting on. Eniola was looking more than a little flustered from her attempts at the facemask, though seemed to be settling back into her usual rhythm now. The other Hufflepuffs in the room – Daisy, Kamryn and Sterling – also seemed to be diligently cleaning their workstations and gathering ingredients, and he was glad to see that Kamryn had tied her hair up and out of the way without being asked. And after her calm success in the first task, Nina seemed to be doing fine so far – Noble more than expected it to good wrong somewhere close to the end of class though.

His murtlap essence now simmering, Noble moved on to the next steps. “Once your potion is at a low simmer, sprinkle in the ginkgo and eyebright before stirring twice clockwise.” He did that now, before picking up his timer. “That’ll need to simmer for five minutes, until it turns purple. Don’t forget to set your timers.” And if they’d forgotten their timer…well they’d have to keep a close eye on both the colour of their potion and the clock. “In the meantime, grate 50 grams of fresh cucumber,” which was again in a tray on the side bench, “and carefully retrieve one whole moly flower from your potions kit ready for the next step.”

They could take these goggles off? Thank Merlin.

Not needing to be told twice, Eiji took them off his head and had the impulse to throw them across the room. Thankfully for himself and everyone else, he did not. As for the mixture, well, he had none...and neither did Missa by the looks of it. He could make her a facemask from her later if she wanted. His still unused ingredients were slipped into one of the containers he brought with him. Facemask though...there may be something in this he could use for his little project. Another bit of experimenting to do.

Which also made him eye the side bench a bit. For other reasons.

Labeling his parchment with Oculus Potion, Eiji stood and collected ingredients for himself and Missa as well. A little extra in his arms only benefiting him for the time being. Upon making sure that his cauldron was clean first, he measured his murtlap essence and then lit the burner with a well timed Incendio. Turning the hear down low, he set to preparing the two dried ingredients. His flame was maybe a bit too low as the simmer was taking a while to occur, but it did right around the time that Professor Noble had begun speaking again. The ginkgo and eyebright was gingerly sprinkled into the simmering murtlap essence and stirred accordingly. "What shade of purple, professor?" he asked while watching his own begin to shift hues. He didn't really want to focus on something else while his brew was changing color, it was so easy to get carried away and then a brew past the point of no return...so he began grating his cucumber with much reluctance, measuring every few times with his scales until he had achieved 50 grams.

....5 seemed to be a theme of sorts with the measurements. Interesting.

Setting his moly flower aside, the fourth year waited and continued to watch the contents of his cauldron like a hawk.

Taking a blind guess, Avalon mixed two teaspoons of both beetle eyes and valerian sprigs with a mortar and pestle. The goggles were making it impossible to see the instructions she had jotted down, and she couldn't tell for the life of her whether the measurement was 2 or 3 teaspoons. Luckily, she had written the measurement for the next ingredient on a different line of her parchment -- one that wasn't blocked by a cloudy spot. She could easily read that she needed 4 drops of Lethe River water. After adding the liquid, she mixed the ingredients a bit more.

As soon as Professor Noble announced that they could remove their goggles, Avalon ripped her pair off and wanted to throw them across the room. She had a lot more appreciation for people that had to deal with eye problems now. Noble had said that the potions should be a periwinkle color if they were done correctly. Much to her disappointment, Avalon's was a dull blue-gray. It was probably that bloody teaspoon. However, some sideways glances at her classmates concoctions proved that she wasn't the only one who had failed miserably at the task.

So now they were making the Occulus potion. Thank goodness they didn't have to do it with those stupid goggles. Potion-making was something Avalon wasn't too terrible at, provided that she had her proper eyesight to use. After cleaning up her workstation, she measured out a cup of murtlap essence and lit her burner, trying to bring the liquid to a simmer. Then, she returned to the side bench to measure the ginkgo and eyebright. Avalon had never heard of those ingredients before, and from their location on the benches, she knew they weren't standard. She supposed they were special for the potion they were making. Measuring was the easy part -- it was the timing that Avalon usually had trouble with. She always underestimated how exact potion-making had to be.

While waiting for her murtlap essence to simmer, Avalon jotted down some more instructions on her parchment. She didn't remember this potion being in her textbook, and she wanted to make sure she had the notes for reference later on. Finally, her potion was bubbling softly. She added in both of the dry ingredients before stirring. It took one counter-clockwise motion before she realized that she had stirred the wrong way. She initially cringed, but then thought, oh well. The direction of the stirring shouldn't matter too much, right? Avalon stirred once more in the proper direction this time before setting her timer and grating the cucumber. As she dug around in her potions kit for a moly flower, she raised her hand. "How bad is it that I stirred my potion counter-clockwise by accident?" she asked sheepishly. "Should I start over?" Merlin, she hoped that she didn't need to start over.

Eni felt a little better as she looked at her housemate's options and saw they were in much the similar state. She was able to add the gingko and eyebright, stirring clockwise as the professor said. Fumbling through her bag she found her timer and set it to five minutes.

Grating her cucumber, she was meticulous. She'd cut her finger before on these graters and she absolutely hates it. She was being very, very careful.

Finishing weighing it out to match the 50 grams needed she moved on to the moly flower from her kit and waited for the perfect colour.

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Daisy listened and watched carefully as Professor Noble demonstrated the next series of steps. She looked down upon her potion and saw that it was at a low simmer so she performed a cleaning charm on her stirring rod because she liked to be careful.

The gingko and eyebright were then carefully sprinkled into the potion before she used the stirring rod to stir twice clockwise. Daisy then grabbed her timer and set it for five minutes. After cleaning her stirring rod, Daisy went to the side bench and gathered her fifty grams of grated fresh cucumber before returning to her workstation.

Daisy then carefully retrieved a whole moly flower from her Potions kit as she waited for the five minutes of potion simmering time to elapse.

Low simmer?

Lucas looked up, eye wide and a red tinge to his cheeks as Noble started saying things. Things directly to him. Things that sounded a lot like his flame wasn't the right heat yet. Mumbling some kind of apology quietly, he reached over and started fiddling with opening the air hole to get the temperature down. Right down. Down to a low simmer, not a boil.

There was a small pause while he watched the potion - it was simmering, right? - before he decided to move onto the next step and let the potion do..... whatever it did. The ginkgo and eyebright he'd measured out earlier were both added in before he stirred twice clockwise. There. That felt like potioning.

Picking up a timer, he set it to five minutes and then set it down on his desk. If Noble had made a point to remind everyone, it was probably very important and was a point when everything went wrong and he didn't want that so. But he also didn't want to think about it any longer so the Gryffindor moved to the side bench again for some fresh cucumber. There was a short wait, and then an even longer time taken to grate the cucumber itself. Again, more cooking would be useful here.

When he had 50 grams, Lucas moved back to grab a whole moly flower from his potions kit and set the ingredients aside. And now? Now, we wait.

Noble was correct to assume that. Nina had an act to uphold.

Once she had walked back to her desk with her measured out ingredients, she checked on her cauldron. The low flame had fortunately kept the potion at bay and after a few more moments its contents had reached a low simmer. Nina wasted no time in sprinkling in both the ginkgo and eyebright, before stirring the mixture twice clockwise.

She watched as her Professor picked his timer up, doing the same and setting hers for five minutes. Eiji's question had been an interesting one, and Nina made sure to listen carefully for the answer, all the while moving to the side-tray to grab the fresh cucumber to grate. She very carefully tended to the cucumber, mindful of her fingers as she grated the fruit. She weighed it out ever-so-often until she had 50 grams measured out. At which point, she reached for her potions kit and picked out a whole moly flower for the proceeding steps.

Kamryn had one eye on her potion and the other on Professor Noble, she was making sure she was following exactly what he was doing. She watched her essence come to a low simmer and she carefully sprinkled in her eyebright and her Ginko.

She stirred twice clockwise before pulling her stirrer out and wiping it down. She set her timer for five minutes and then headed over to grab some cucumber.

She set a piece of parchment on the scale and took in how much that weighed, before starting to grate her cucumber onto the paper on the scale, once it was at 50 grams, minus what the parchment weighed of course. She slid the cucumber into a small bowl and cleaned off her grater, as well as the bowls from the ginko and the eyebright.

She checked on her potion, before getting a whole moly flower from her kit.

There.

Everything was clean and her next ingredients were laid out.

Seeing (since, you know, she actually could now) that her potion was shimmering, Archer sprinkled the gingko and eyebright into her potion and stirred it twice clockwise. With that done, she grabbed her timer and set it for five minutes, removed the requested moly flower from her and fetched a cucumber from the tray on the side. Returning to her seat, she dug out her grater and set to work grating fifty grams of the vegetable, wondering if Noble would let them keep the rest to make pickles or something. What, they had to do something with them....

Noble was grating his cucumber ready as he saw Eiji’s hand go up. It was a good question, and a point he’d neglected to mention. “A pale lavender shade,” he replied. “And then after we add the cucumber, it’ll darken up to become a rich royal purple.”

A question that wasn’t so good? Avalon’s. Noble grumbled, expecting the first year to know better than to ask such questions by now. With some potions, it was possible to pull them back after mistaken stirring. This was not one of them. With a flick of his wand, his vanished the contents of her cauldron. “Yes, you should start over.”

Did anyone else make such negligent mistakes? Noble’s eyes narrowed as he ran his gaze over the class, watching closely now he was prepped ready for the next step. Eniola and Daisy were continuing to progress well, and thankfully Lucas had finally fixed his burner and remembered to set his timer. “Watch your fingers with that grater, Sterling,” Noble told his prefect, not wanting any additional ingredients to make it in. Meanwhile, Kamryn certainly impressed him with her clear organisation and cleanliness…and Nina was looking, well, surprisingly diligent when it came to weighing out her cucumber. Had something happened to her attitude to brewing over the Christmas holidays, perhaps?

Hmm.

His timer started beeping, and Noble picked up his grated cucumber. His potion, as expected, was already pale lavender. “So when 5 minutes is up, and your potion has turned lavender, add the cucumber and stir twice anti-clockwise. It should turn royal purple.” He did so, lifting up a ladle of liquid to show the ideal colour after each step. “You’re then going to drop the moly flower in the centre of your cauldron, and simmer for exactly three and a half minutes, before turning off your burner.” He dropped in the flower, setting his timer as he watched it gradually sink. “Once the burner is off, you’ll need to add your thermometer and wait for the temperature to drop to 24°C before adding in our final ingredient, 5ml of moondew sap and stirring in a figure of eight motion.” He turned now, and revealed the recipe written out in full on the board.

“Please continue.”

Notes:
This potion does not heal eyesight beyond that which you normally have - there's another recently developed potion for that.

Ingredients:
1 cup murtlap essence
5g dried ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba)
5g dried eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis)
50g grated cucumber
1 moly flower
5ml moondew sap

Recipe

1. Bring the murtlap essence to a low simmer, and sprinkle in the ginkgo and eyebright. Stir twice clockwise and leave to simmer for five minutes. Meanwhile, grate the cucumber.
2. Once the potion has turned pale lavender, add the cucumber. Stir twice anti-clockwise. The potion should turn a royal purple.
3. Drop the moly flower in the centre of the cauldron. Simmer for exactly three and a half minutes before turning off the heat.
4. Once the temperature has dropped to 24°C, stir in the moondew sap with a figure of eight motion. Leave to fully cool before using, by which time the purple should have faded to lilac.

Kamryn was looking at the board now as Professor Noble revealed the recipe and she nodded, she was excited to do the rest of this potion. After all this was one of her favorite classes. It was so like baking, it calmed her and she felt at ease following recipes and things of that nature.

Once her timer went off, she poured the grated cucumber into the cauldron and put her stirrer in and made two counter clockwise stirs.

She pulled the stirrer out and grinned at the color. That was certainly a royal purple! She then dropped her moly flower in the center of the cauldron and set her timer for three and a half minutes.

In which time she cleaned off her stirrer and the bowl the cucumber shreds were in, she set them away and after making sure she had her moondew sap measured out, waited for her timer to go off.

Once it had, she set her thermometer in the cauldron and watched for the temperature to drop to 24 degrees. She kept her blue eyes fixed to the lowering temp, and once it had reached the desired temperature, she pulled the thermometer out and mixed in the moondew sap with a figure eight motion.

There! Now she just needed to wait for it to cool.

She cleaned off the thermometer and the stirrer again as she waited.
