 Don't Cross the Book | who turned out the | Lights Lennox
Jezabel set up her equipment at one of the tables. Potions shouldn't be too hard; she'd watched her parents and older siblings brew many over the years. Her brother Keegan had even let her help him a few times. But brewing potions would be harder than just flicking her wand and saying a few weird words. That's why Jez had decided to practise before her first real Potions class started.
Jez hadn't been sleeping well for the past few nights, so a basic sleeping draft would be practical. She had the basic ingredients, and now pondered over her potions book. She brought the water in her caldron to a slow boil and added lavender, being careful to stir exactly 21 times counter-clockwise. She added chamomile, and flicked through her book for 20 minutes while the potion simmered. It had turned a pale, clear purple with the faintest tint of green when it was ready. Jez bottled it and cleared up her work area, elated in the knowledge that she'd just completed her first potion.
