MAGICAL FIREWORKS

Magical Fireworks

Use/Effect:
Magical fireworks do not require flames to be ignited, and are really little explosions of magic. Once created, they are much safer to use than their muggle equivalents

Ingredients:
Water
Big handful of dried flakes of Salamander skin
One jalapeno pepper
a dash of sheep bile
three grains of salt
A tab or wick
Tissue paper (whatever colors you please)

Instructions:
Fill Cauldron with water
Bring it to a boil
Add dried flakes of Salamander skin
Dice and add one jalapeno pepper to your potion
Stir 13 times anti clockwise
Add a dash of sheep bile. This will make your potion turn gray and become the consistency of liquid concrete, so it will be harder to stir.
add three grains of salt
stir 4 times clockwise until malleable
Mold into a form (any you'd like)
Put the tab or wick into the firework
Wrap it in the coloured paper

for nightmares: purslane (a pinch)
or more powerful brew: ginger (a pinch)

Instructions:
Bring water to a slow boil.
Add lavender and stir 21 times, counter-clockwise.
Add chamomile and let simmer for 20 minutes (potion should be pale, clear, purple with a tint of green, though the green may not always be observable)
For nightmares: add a pinch of purslane and stir 5 times, counter-clockwise

Oh no...

Lex gave a heavy sigh. It was like all her hopes and dreams bolted from the room the moment the Professor came back. She didn't ONLY want ONE. That wouldn't do. It simply wouldn't!!! Also, wasn't that Professor Lafay's daughter?? She was getting big like Jessa. Come to think of it...they were about the same age or something. She wouldn't really know. She didn't try knowing anything about her so-called baby sister or whatever.

From the looks of it, the kid was a brat. See why Lex didn't like babies and little people creature things?

The Gryffindor slumped into her seat as she was approached by the Professor. "I brewed the Scintillation Solution. It causes the drinker to glow in their favourite colour and become bright and animated, basically, I'm gonna look epic after I've drank this." She gave a solemn nod. Of course she also had a question. "Will we be allowed to keep more than a vial? Pleeease? Like....half the cauldron...?"

She kept glancing back at the small girl and wondered what she could have done so wrong to have five nannies, seriously what was wrong with the nannies.

Stiffing as she felt Lafay coming close to her workstations she wanted Wade to speak first, but the thought of his pickle cleaning thing made her cringe so she took a deep breath, "Well Professor I made the shrinking solution Medicamentum Contraho." She lifted her finished vial for Professor Lafay to see. Trying to make as little eye contact as possible terrified if she did the woman would scream at her, turn her into stone, or whatever else she could think of.

He watched in fascination as her mother placed her in a sound proof bubble. Aww. Poor kid being trapped in there like that. But Adi figured it was better since she would likely cry or scream or make whatever sounds it was kids made.

Adi fidgeted nervously as Professor Lafay drew closer to him. To reason? It had not occurred to him as yet. And then she was in front of him. He took a breath and addressed her. "I brewed the Scintillation Solution, Professor. A sort of brain tonic like a Brain Elixir.''

Merlin's beard, this potion had a lot of waiting. 30 minutes. 10 minutes. Whatever minutes. They were all specifically listed in the book. Why did she choose this again? Kat didn't know. But one thing was for sure... that was she'd get this done. And that the potion would work. Yeah? Of course. None of her potions failed anyway.

After ten minutes of waiting and just pretty much WATCHING everyone in the classroom, Kat peered into her cauldron and then added the 2.5 grams of cut up ginger root into the potion. She then reduced the heat a bit, because the book said so, and then.... Merlin, waiting again. For thirty minutes? How was she supposed to handle this? She still didn't know. Knowing she had nothing else to do, Kat waited. And boredom had started... now.

...

Thirty minutes seemed like two hours for Kat. When the hand on her watch said that thirty minutes was FINALLY over, she sighed in relief. "About time," she said to herself. Kat took the laddle and stirred the potion counter-clockwise three times. And then, while it was still simmering, she stirred it counter-clockwise again. Three twice too. Well, this potion mainly consisted of stirring and lots of time. Then she placed the lid on the cauldron. Time to grind the scarab beetles.

She took the mortar and pestle and started to grind it. GRIND... grind... grind. It didn't take long though. Once it looked like it was fine powder, Kat measured 5 grams of the powder and sprinkled it over the potion before replacing the lid on top of the cauldron. And then, of course, she had to wait... for another 45 minutes. Why did she choose this again? How many times had she asked this question to herself? Fifty times? She couldn't keep count.

...

Another sigh of relief after 45 minutes. Kat knew that the potion would almost be done. ALMOST. She just needed to remove it from heat and let it cool down for a bit. First though, she looked in the potion. Dark purple? Hmm. She glanced on her book again. Great, she'd done it right! And it reduced by half, which was also another sign that she'd done it well. Kat took her cauldron off the heat and let it cool. After what seemed like 3794390739053 minutes, she checked the potion again. Alright, that was cool enough. She ladled the potion into a vial, noting that it was slighty thick. Of course, she'd done it right... AGAIN.



Things were done. Yeah. All she needed was a label now.

All done.

Oh, Lafay was back. WITH A BABY. Hello, baby. But anyway, Lafay was moving around tables and like... oh, okay. It was a good thing Kat had finished on time then. And then Lafay was reached her table. "I brewed a Wit-Sharpening Potion." The name says it all, right? "And I have no questions, Professor." But you have an adorable daughter, just saying.

Mhm, yeah. Was that okay now? She'd done her potion and nothing seemed to have gone wrong.

It was a bit weird to see the little girl in the bubble, but the student wouldn't say a single word about it, she knew Hecate was a wonderful mom and she just wanted to keep her daughter away from the hazardous materials. Potions classroom was full of them.

As the teacher approached her, she put her book aside, took the phial with the sample and showed it to the teacher.

"It is a Antidote for common poisons, Professor Lafay. It's done, but I have some question. I didn't find in the book any mention to the colour it would to be. It's a beautiful and glowing blue sample as you can see, but I don't know if it's right and would work... and I don't intend to test on myself" the girl rushed to say. "Would have a way to check it without having to poison anyone?" She sighed. "I'm glad to see Ariadne here. She's not sick, is she? If my potion is okay, may I play with her outside the Potions classroom, at the corridor?" She said, grinning and waving at the girl in the bubble.

Two.... That one seemed easier to stir though. Three.... Oh yeah it was really getting easier! Four.... And done with that step! That first stir was horrid but now she was good. Now she had to form it into a mold.

FUN!!!

She pulled some of it out shaping it into a candle type thing and then formed several others. She was so having fun with this stuff!!

Seeing Professor Lafay come back in she smirked how cute was she... Oh but she was in trouble. None the less Nerida sent a huge wave over to the bubbled girl. She continued molding but stopped when Professor Lafay reached her desk, "I am making magical fireworks. and nope no questions from her.

The only thing going for him was on what the book said about how the scents won't affect how the potion works. Ah well, there was no turning back now even if he had doubts as the door opened.

Wade turned his head, smiling at the sight of Professor Lafay who was not only back safe, but she wasn't alone. Wow, her beautiful baby daughter had grown so much over the last year. It made him think about his future siblings, like what if he had a baby sister.. but his thoughts went away as soon as Professor Lafay addressed the class again.

Cool.. and they get to share their potion. When his turn came, he held his up for her. "My potion's Magicleanse.. The scent it leaves is pickles with a hint of lemon." Well, dropping a whole pickle with part of a dried lemon gave it that.. Now did he have any questions? "No, no questions here, Professor." Least not that he could think of right away.

Anyway, as the professor begin making the rounds to see what they'd all made, she listened, rolling her eyes occasionally at the simple mindedness of some of her older classmates. "I made Magical Fireworks, professor. And nope, no questions," she said, with a slight smile, once it was her turn. Totally had this in the bag.

"Eh, hello professor" spoke the third year old quick when the professor stood besides her table. "I have made a Basic Sleeping Draft" and she showed the professor her potion. Please, let it be good, please... spoke the third year old in silence to herself while she crossed her fingers behind her back. She really DIDN'T wanted to have a bad grade of this lesson so she hoped that the professor would be satisfied with her work...

But now he was reduced to watching the hourglass count down the ten minutes, chin rested on arms which were folded on the tabletop. Every now and then he'd check the potion and give it another stir if it looked like it needed it. Of course, Tobias didn't really know how to tell when a particular potion needed stirring, but the instructions said to do the thing and so Toby did the thing.

Eventually, Tobias kind of glazed over as he watched the hourglass, and started to come to just in time, because the last of the sand had dropped. Tobias grinned and sat up straight again, immediately going for the chopped up ginger root.

Once he'd dumped that into the potion, Tobias turned down the heat and...

... oh...

... more waiting.

30 whole minutes, too, while the potion simmered. With a tiny groan of frustration, Tobias left the potion to it and started readying the scarab beetles so he could grind them up for a later step in the potion making process. As he was doing that, Lafay passed by his desk.

"I'm making a Wit-Sharpening potion," he said simply, with a big bright smile directed at the potions mistress. HAPPY VIBES, PROFESSOR. FEEL THE HAPPY.

Darn.

Anyway... he pointed at his vial, still beaming.

Cutty returned to his desk carrying all of the ingredient he remembered he'd be needing for his potion. Good thing it didn't involve too many ingredients. He began to measure them out so that he could put away the rest.

The boy had seen his mother brew potions enough times to know that the first step was to clean the cauldron. Not to mention Hufflepuff Prefect McHAIR had said it outloud a few moments ago. He had caught glimpses of a few of the other students using their wands to perform this task and wanted to try it too. Cutty laid out his instruments, a stirring stick, a scale, a knife, mortar and pestle and his cauldron, all of which were previously cleaned if not new. Waving his wand, he said the incantation, "Scourgify!" for each item and checking his results after each was self-satisfied that he'd done something there. Though, whether he had or not would've been hard to tell.

What was that spell they were using for lighting their fires? He took his wand and pointed it at his burner. "Incendio!" Spark. "Incendio!" Short-lived burst. "Incendio!" Ah, there we go! Third times the charm, literally in this case. Cutty adjusted his cauldron a little to ensure even heating and began to combine the ingredients.



100mL of red wine was followed by the prune juice in the smaller amount of 10mL. He stirred his deeply purple concoction clockwise with his stirring stick and noticed the tiny formations of bubbles starting to form. Better work fast.

Cutty quickly measured out 2g of hairy fungus, the smell of which he thought might be handy to have around, and threw it into the mortar and pestle for grinding. The tortoise shell was already powdered, which only left the caterpillar and the bat tongue to be prepared. Working urgently, Cutty mashed up the hairy fungus, checking on his potion to see that it was threatening to fully bubble in another second to two. No time to waste, he added the hairy fungus and stirred clockwise. How many times had he to do this? Cutty glanced down at the book page. 10 minutes?!!! He stared at the clock, counting down mentally in his head and stopping his caterpillar's myriad of attempts to get away during that time.

When the Professor came around he responded with, "I'm working on an Aging potion, Professor Lafay. See how it's brown and purple like? It'll turn white by the time I'm done with it." Or it had better turn white!

She was pretty sure her potion was not actually supposed to be this colour, nor was it likely that it was supposed to be that gelatinous-feeling, either. It was actually getting hard to stir when she looked at her watch and found that her five minutes were up, thankfully. Her arm had been starting to hurt!

She looked back at her textbook, and now she needed to add the shrivelfig that... she hadn't actually peeled or crushed yet. So Adrienne went through and peeled off the thick, purpley skin and then crushed it over her cauldron, using her gloved hand as once surface and her silver knife as the other, trying to make sure all of the juice got into the cauldron. She stirred once so it was mixed - was she actually supposed to have done that? - and then lowered the flame, letting it stew while she contemplated the potential uses of this potion, assuming it actually worked. She could put it on someone's head while they were sleeping and wait to see their reaction when they woke up bald... or, even more easily, she could get rid of someone's eyebrows and then they'd look incredibly stupid and not be able to just put a wig on. Perfect, now she just had to decide whom to use it on...

...oh, Lafay was back. Adrienne wasn't expecting her to have returned so soon. And she was asking questions, too? About their potions? Merlin, she hated this class. The practical portion, that is, she was all right with the theoretical. "Well, it was meant to be hair removal paste." Given that it now vaguely resembled brownish-purple curdled milk, however, she was pretty sure she'd done something terribly wrong. She wasn't entirely sure what, but definitely something. "Is it... supposed to look like that?"

Embarrassing...

Sophie looked up as her grandmother passed by her work station. "I'm making the Brann G-ni-ster..." whatever... "Unction," she said. Only, she was just getting started. She only had the ingredients laid out before her. Hopefully that little fact would go unrecognized.

Sophie quickly cleaned her cauldron then lit a fire underneath it, wasting no time. Okay, step number one:

Sophie laid the marigold out before her and began the process of cutting them into the pieces. Then, grabbing her mortar, she crushed the ingredient until it looked fragrant and wet--just as the book suggested it look.

Ella tilted her head as the little girl defiantly turned away from her mother, amused. She made sure her expression remained neutral, though. The last thing she needed was to get in trouble.

As for what potion she was making, the seventeen year old waited quietly for her turn to speak. "I made the Basic Sleeping Draft, Professor." And she glanced down at the potion before looking up again. "And I was also wondering if I might be able to keep some of the potion." Since West had asked, she didn't see any harm in asking too.

Sarah felt like giving her a big hug.

A look back at her watch revealed that enough time had passed and now it was time to work on the ginger. She cut it like she was told and soon five minutes had passed and she put the ginger in the potion. She had to fight the urge to stir. She looked at her watch now and marked 20 minutes.

Then the professor came over to her, "I am making wit-sharpening potion. There seems to be more then one recipe for it in this book" Sarah said, "I chose one.. yet what are the differences between them?". Sarah's eyes happen to wonder across the room to the little girl. "If you need someone to take care of her, play with her or what ever, I would love to help. I have a nephew her age so I am used to it. I know the stories that are told, games that are played... and if you want her to go to sleep I know how to rub her back and sing her lullabies. I do have 20 minutes before the next step."

She was sure that the child would EAT the Gryffindor for lunch, but there would be no skin off her back so whatever. If only a Hufflepuff would volunteer too... this might be a good thing after all. There was no way that she could get blamed in the child ate puffers, she thought to herself a little angrily. She was still ticked about losing points for speaking the truth of puffers.

Moving on. Her attention back on her potion, she read the next set of instructions. Purslane was the next ingredient and it was only used for nightmares. What the heck she thought... might as well add that in there too. She added a pinch and stirred five times counter clockwise. She was almost completely done.

That was a cool idea... She wanted to do that now but that would be like copying.. She shook her head nope and started to wrap each of the fireworks only using blue, purple, and green paper. Because the other colors were not for Nerida's fireworks. She then tied a ribbon that had been on her wrist so that none would get lost and then used a sticking charm. Then she smacked on a green tag.

She waved her wand and said "Scourgify," and gave that cauldron a good cleaning before adding the water. "Aguamenti!" filling the cauldron halfway with water, and then starting a fire underneath it.

Taking the oranges she began to juice them with the silver knife after she cast scourgify on that as well. After juicing the oranges added the juice into the cauldron. Now the next step said to add the Billywig Stinger, she carefully added it to the potion, and then looked back at her textbook for the next step. Time to lower the flame, picking up her wand she lowered the flame.

Crushing the dried ginger root was next. She put it into her mortar she started to crush it until it was powdery. She then added that and the sugar. Reading the next step she blinked... Okay... So five peppermint leaves so five counter clockwise turns then. Doing one counter clockwise turn she added in a peppermint leaf, another stir, another leaf, another stir, another leaf, another stir, another leaf, another stir, another leaf. And lastly the final stir afterwards.

Narumi smiled, making potions was fun!!

Oh look there was the Professor, "Um, Hi Professor. I am making the Scintillation Solution!" Yeah and nope she had zero questions.....

Squeeze the fluid of 20 firefly bulbs into the cauldron. Cool! Picking up the first bulb she carefully squeezed the fluid into the cauldron before going onto the next one. Second Firefly bulb. Third Firefly bulb. Fourth Firefly bulb. Fifth Firefly bulb. Sixth Firefly bulb. Seven Firefly bulb. Eight Firefly bulb. Ninth Firefly bulb. Tenth Firefly bulb. Eleventh Firefly bulb. Twelveth Firefly bulb. Thirteenth Firefly bulb. Fourteenth Firefly bulb. Fifteenth Firefly bulb. Sixteenth Firefly bulb. Seventeenth Firefly bulb. Eighteenth Firefly bulb. Nineteenth Firefly bulb. Twentieth Firefly bulb.

Finally she squeezed all twenty of them into the cauldron.

Then she added the clabbert pustules whole, all nine of them. Picking up her spoon she stirred the potion once counter clockwise, and the once, twice, and thrice clockwise. She picked up the Magnesium Gluconate Liquid and dropped two drops and then quickly added the Flobberworm Mucus afterwards. Picking up the runespoor eggs she giggled as she removed the shells. It was kinda cold... Since they were frozen. After peeling all of the shells off she picked up the powdered purple moonstone and sprinkled them over the frozen eggs. After doing so she added the three eggs into the cauldron, and remembered not to stir afterwards.

Picking up her wand she waved in a circular motion over the cauldron and said "Vividus Excandesco!"

Afterwards she placed some into some viles and placed a name tag on them,

Erm. Mo raised his hand. "Professor, I made the Devomotion Potion for developing moving pictures. I know it needs to simmer for a month, and I was hoping maybe I could let it simmer in the lab. I'd really like to see how it turns out." And also, he'd really like to use it to develop pictures and see if it worked. Mo jumped backwards as the baby rolled across his toes, although he tried his best to keep a fixed smile on his face.

"But Professor, pleeeeeeeeeeease??? I worked real hard on the whole thing? What'll happen to the rest if I only get to keep one vial and it's only for homework?? Can't I pleeease keep more than that?? Please??? I don't get a chance to glow BLUE very often." Yes, yes she WAS making pathetic pleading faces to the Professor. She would have clung to her while she begged but for two reasons she didn't. One, she was no longer 11 and two, she valued her life.

The begging was still happening though.

It was kind of important actually, and he wasn't really sure which option would work best for his purposes, so West wanted to try both.

Just one more step in the process, and Sophie will have finished her very first potion to brew all by herself! She'd done AMAZING, she knew. That was mainly because the cauldron hadn't exploded or nothing had boiled over and ruined. Nevermind the fact that that could still technically happen. She just wouldn't think about that part.

Sophie measured out the brown sugar and baking soda then added in both. Then she began stirring three times clockwise and once counter clockwise. She repeated the process, waiting for the mixture to turn into a paste-like substance.

10.Allow to simmer till the potion turns purple.
11.Add powdered unicorn horn until the potion turns pink.
12.Stir until the potion turns red.
13.Allow to simmer until the potion turns purple.

Aging Potion

Use/Effect:
Causes the drinker to advance in age

Ingredients:
Red Wine (100 mL)
Prune Juice (10 mL)
Hairy Fungus (2 g, mashed)
Tortoise Shell (2 g, powdered)
Caterpillar (5 g, sliced)
Bat Tongue (1, diced)


Instructions:
Prepare all ingredients as listed in the ingredients list, weighing and measuring each carefully.

Slowly heat the red wine and prune juice and begin stirring clockwise until you can just see bubbles starting to form. (The mixture will be dark purple/brown)

Immediately add the Hairy Fungus and continue to stir clockwise for ten minutes. (The mixture will slowly fade to a lighter purple/brown)

Continuing to stir clockwise, add the tortoise shell. (The mixture will be a creamy color)

After eight minutes, remove the cauldron from the heat and add the caterpillar and bat tongue, making sure to continue to stir the solution in a clockwise motion.

As the potion cools, it will turn milky white. Once it is completely cooled (about fifteen to twenty minutes), you may cease your clockwise stirring and dispense the potion into appropriate vials for storage.
