Raising his hand, Patroclus cleared his throat and suggested an answer, "Professor, could Shea butter be a possible ingredient, I know it is one of the best natural ingredients to fight wrinkles, so could it perhaps be able to reverse them all together?"
It was true that Shea Butter was normally an external moisturiser, but it was originally used in cooking, and still by same in the chocolate making world, but he would keep that last part quite otherwise he would have Destiny on him, like a rash.
"Shea butter is a good guess, but we are not making an unction, we are making a potion so that's not going to be used." She said to the boy.

"Nope... don't think mind. Think body." She said and moved on.

"Which nuts, be specific." She told her.

Of course a class full of four year olds would be kinda funny, he thought as he imagined the kind of trouble a bunch of little kids could cause. He glanced up at Professor Lafay knowing that she was definitely not the type to handle that kind of chaos and chuckled lightly to himself as he pondered the question.
Listening to the answers of his fellow classmates, the fifth year thought for a moment before raising his hand, noting one ingredient he was thought might be in the potion that he hadn't heard called out. "I believe there's also powdered moonstone found in the potion... right, professor?" At least he was fairly confident... Oh, and she wanted the reason. That essay his mum made him write about the properties of moonstone last year would come in handy now. "It's found in potions that retain or restore one's emotional stability and since the De-aging Potion changes one's appearance without affecting their mentality, that's probably why the moonstone is in there."
"Moonstone is correct. Which color though?" She asked.

"We are trying to regress here." She said shaking her head. "No avocado."

"Yes, bicorn horn is one of the more powerful ingredients." She said.

The boy cautiously raised his hand to chance a guess at an ingredient. "Blueberries, professor? They're known to keep the mind sharp and help with memory... plus I think they contain high levels of antioxidants, which helps with the mental side of aging."
"No... but they'd help you, Fletcher." She said raising an eyebrow.

If only he'd been listening to his instincts...
Raising his hand, he ventured a guess. "Cucumber, maybe? I've seen in Muggle TVs that they lay it on their eyes for refreshment. And there're cucumber masks..." Fail. He didn't think particularly this professor would approve him of watching TV.
So much for a good impression, if not grade, in potions.
"That's just for the eyes really... it's not an active ingredient." She said.

" I heard there are active components in it, that help your skin to less wrinkles."
"Again, we are not trying to prevent aging, we are trying to regress you." She said.

Moving her gaze from staring at Destiny, the Slytherin glanced around to the others in the room as they answered the question while she tried to think of one herself. Oh wait, there might be one ingredient in the potion that one hasn't said yet. "Perhaps, shrivelfigs? They are used in shrinking solutions and...I don't remember there ever being a six foot tall toddler. Naturally...I mean." she said after raising her hand.
Gah. They were going to be toddlers after this lesson. PFFFT! Which means she was going to be even more short! Which reminded her, where was purple head?
"Perfect, yes. Shrivelfigs. Next?" She asked.

"Would knotgrass be included," Simon offered. "Its used in polyjuice so it seems like it would have properties to change ones appearance," he further explained.
"Very much so. Knotgrass is indeed an ingredient of this potion." She told them.

"Good." She said and nodded.

Yeah, this was ust a guess, and she hoped she wouldn't get yelled at for being wrong. After all, it had taken a lot of courage for her to even speak up.
"Leech juice is an ingredient. We need very little." She said.

"Yes. Just two lacewing flies."

"Actually. No, that's more associated with morphing someone's face... but when you are just de-aging, your features won't change all that much. Just become younger." She told the boy.
"Good Job. What's the first thing you have to do?" They better know this by now...
