Monday mornings were always a challenge for lessons but the first Monday after the Christmas break was no doubt one of the hardest. Especially when it came to something as tedious as Potion brewing. But Professor Adara was well equipped for today's lesson and general exhaustion today would no doubt bring. She would have included leftover Holiday Chocolates should they needed a pick-me-up, but having a strict no food or drink policy in the Potions laboratory negated that. She was more than willing to offer them in her office or corridor should they need.

As far as ingredients on display - there was only a handful of ingredients - how curious indeed as the ingredients appeared to be unlabeled ~~except for a letter on each that the professor knew what was in each container~~

"Good morning, welcome back. Take your seats and we'll begin shortly."

Lesson Progression
* Question 1: what potion we're brewing today? If no ideas on the potion, if you noticed the ingredients are unlabeled. Any ideas what you could use to help identify the ingredients?
* Potion brewing: steps 1-5; steps 6-14; final steps 15-18 + bottling and sampling if you'd like

So far so good, no explosions. Adding her next stewed mandrake she waited for the liquid to turn a nice shade of yellow that made her think of fresh lemons. Using her spoon she next stirred CCW until the yellow turned over into a green colour. Keeping her mind from wandering Rose silently said a few choice words as she picked up and shook her third mandrake for the day until it turned very mushy. Adding it into her potion she noted with satisfaction that it took only moments before her liquid turned turqouise.

Rose did a silent cheer as she thankfully was done shaking mandrakes. Her tired arms agreed. Next she let her potion simmer for a few minutes, watching as the turqouise colour was replaced by a deep purple shade. Flashing a glance at her instructions she next carefully measured up 7gs of powdered unicorn horn which she then poured into her potion, and waited until it turned pink.

Rose allowed herself a breath before she took her spoon and stirred CW until the potion turned a nice gryffindorian red. Letting her potion simmer she used the time to cross off all the previous potion steps. She had not missed one step thankfully and that was a success.

When the potion turned orange which made Rose immediatly think of halloween pumpkins she looked up the next step. Using a dropper she next poured in exactly 7 drops of powdered porqupine quills and the potion turned from orange to white. Adjusting the flames to low on her cauldron Rose let her potion simmer for 7 minutes keeping time on her wrist watch then she stirred 7 CCW with her spoon, counting them off in her head.

As the last step Rose added in the right amount of syrup of hellebore and watched triumphantly as her potion turned turqouise again and she was done! Success! She poured up some of her potion into a waiting vial, which Rose carefully labelled with her name, house and year. Then she debated with herself, should she try the effects of her potion or not? Yes, she should try it.

Pouring the rest of her potion into another vial Rose lifted the vial to her lips and drank the liquid. She managed to set down the vial before her legs, gave way and she slumped to the floor, banging her head on her workstation on the way down, causing a nice big swelling bulb to erupt on her forehead in a matter of seconds. Rose however had no knowledge of this since she was now lying on the floor, sleeping deeply with her legs spread out and her arms close to her chest.
