What should she write for the fire thing though? Eh, she'll just write that 'Friend did fire'. HA! There we go. Looking up to the board, she stared at the words before her own question came up. "Professor. What exactly is the potion we are making?" she asked, raising a brow at the four snake fangs that are needed before measuring the 4 drams of dried nettles. Gotta...be...precise on this. OR ELSE!

Slowly he added and stirred. What colour was it meant to be? Cos his looked pretty perfect. "Colour, Professor?"

While he waited, he recorded what he had already done in his potions journal.

She began to wistle as she worked on measuring exactly 4 drams of dried nettles, placing them on her dry measure tray. Before she moved onto the next step she wrote down every step she had just taken, along with what was on the board.

Hopping off her stool she went to the potions stores and grabed four snake fangs, double checking to make sure they were python fangs. Wistling A Spoon Full of Sugar she walked back to her stool. Crushing the fangs one at a time, she wrote of this after she was finished in her journal as well.

Then she began adding the ingredents one at a time while she stured clockwise.

After that one was done he used the tip of his wand to seperate the nettles into four somewhat identical sized piles he then dumped one pile of nettles in and then the first crushed fang. He then stirred clockwise one circle and repeated the step again, making sure to add the nettle first and then the fangs then a clockwise stir. After the fourth stir, Chris looked into the cauldren then towards Kazi's notes. He had done everything so far, then he updated his notes.

Then she started with the next one. After she was done with all of them, she stopped and re read her notes. 'Ok, Now we have it put in some of the dried Nettles, then some drushed snake fang, stair clockwise, then repeat.' Kay read and then made sure she had everything right before she would begin.

*Plop*
Stirred it once clockwise
One powdered snake fang
Stirred it once clockwise
Another dram of dried nettle
*Plop*
Stirred it once clockwise again.
One powdered snake fang
Stirred it once clockwise again.
Another dram of dried nettle.
*Plop*
Stirred it once clockwise again.
Another powdered snake fang
Stirred it once clockwise again and again.
The last dram of dried nettle.
*Plop*
Stirred it once clockwise againnnnn.
The last powdered snake fang.
And stirred it once more clockwise for the last time of the first part. Now he had to write in a journal right? Right. But he had no journal so he only took a piece of parcment and began to scribble down these.

By the time Destiny was finished with crushing the first fang, he cauldron looked just like it was supposed to. She carefully added the first dram of nettles and then the crushed fang and a clockwise stir. She then wrote it down. Did she have to write it down each time? She repeated the process three more times.


What was it supposed to look like?

3 phials water
4 drams dried nettles
4 snake fangs, crushed individually

Warm water over low fire until steam rises. Add nettles and fangs, alternating between 1 dram of nettles and one fang. Stir cauldron clockwise once after each ingredient is added.

STEP TWO

1 ounce of raindrops (harvested from rose petals)
12 dried daisies, including pollen, crushed
1 ounce fresh fluxweed, chopped coarsely
10 hairs from a cruppie (harvested while tail is wagging)
3 drops condensed Kneazle breath
1/2 ounce passionfruit juice

When a light silver steam is rising from your cauldron, add the raindrops and dried daisies. Allow mixture to come to a boil and add the fluxweed. Stir slowly, alternating clockwise and counter-clockwise motions, as you add the cruppie hairs one by one. The mixture should turn a bubblegum pink as you complete this. Carefully add the drops of Kneazle breath and the passionfruit juice and allow mixture to come back to a boil. Cool and strain the potion. Bottle and cork immediately to retain properties. Your potion should be a sunny yellow color.
