SPOILER!!: Violet's Potions Journal

Potions Journal

PRIVATE!

Devomotion Potion
  1. CLEAN CAULDRON (make sure teacher is looking when you do it!)
  2. Start with water on a low flame.
  3. Add two cups of Elf-made wine vinegar (slowly!)
  4. Put on dragon-hide gloves and retrieve three leaves from the Dransul plant (looks like a football)
  5. Crush one leaf in mortar until acid from comes out (3 drops)--BE CAREFUL!
  6. Use dropper to collect acid & add 3 drops to cauldron.
  7. Stir 3 times counter-clockwise


Violet was still running a little behind because of the scourgify mishap, but not too much--nothing she couldn't handle! She put on her gloves, carefully approached the strangely-shaped plant, and plucked 3 leaves. Returning to her workstation, she scourgified her mortar & pestle (because Professor Lafay seemed to be on a cleaning rant today), dropped in one leaf, and methodically began to crush it with the pestle. After a short while she saw the acid begin to seep out. When she thought she had enough, she pulled her dropper out of her potions kit, scourgified it, and sucked up the three drops she needed, then dropped them into her cauldron and stirred the mixture exactly three times widdershins (she read that term in a book once and thought it sounded a lot more exciting than 'counter-clockwise')
