Alyssa listened and watched as the Professor demonstrated the next steps that they had to do to make the potion. She quickly noted down the steps in her journal.



She then quickly noted down the ingredients that she would need and scratched them off the list of ingredients that the Professor had written down on the Board and which she had copied and written in her journal.


Putting down her quill she made her way back to the Ingredient Supply cupboard and taking out another vial and dropper from her jacket and pumped out 10 drops of Murtlap Essence into her vial before covering it with a cork. She also removed two sprigs of Parsley from the cupboard before making her way back to her workstation.

Placing the vial and sprigs on her workstation, Alyssa took out her wand and pointing it at her wooden stirrer said,"Scourgify" to clean it. Once her wooden stirrer was clean, Alyssa picked up the vial, removed the cork and added the 10 drops of Murtlap Essence into the cauldron. She then picked up her wooden stirrer and started stirring the mixture making sure that she was stirring counter clockwise. She counted off as she stirred. "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight". She immediately stopped stirring and placed her stirrer back on the table.

Alyssa reviewed her journal one more time before picking up the two sprigs of Parsley. Using both hands, she placed them over her cauldron. Gently rubbing the sprigs of parsley between her fingertips, she loosely crushed the parsley letting the flakes fall into the cauldron. She looked into her cauldron as they fell and once all the Parsley was crushed, Alyssa waited for further instructions.
