Messer watched carefully while Professor Lafay demonstrated the next step. After the Potion Mistress gave them permission to continue, he added the 10 drops Murtlap Essence into his cauldron and stirred it counter-clockwise with his wooden stirrer eight times. Then Messer took 2 sprigs Parsley, crushed them together and gradually let them free from his hands and into the cauldron.

"Next steps... Pull your wooden spoon, and add 3 spoonfulls of raw honey..." She looked over to the Gryffindor prefect. "It doesn't have to be perfectly measured... you just add it by eye." She showed the students how to do it, letting the hot liquid melt off all the honey from the spoon. "Take 5 basil leaves and slice them thin, as thin as you can, with your silver knife." And she did what she said to the letter. "Now what you want to do is take a papaya, whole and with the same silver knife, stab the fruit and stuff some of the basil in the wound. Keep stabbing until you make enough holes for all of the basil. Then add it to the mixure. Whole."
1 whole Papaya
Onto the next steps. He pulled his wooden spoon and added 3 spoonfulls of raw honey, then allowed the heat of the potion to melt away all the honey from the spoon.
He took his knife and cleaned it first with the cleaning charms before he used it to slice the 5 basil leaves as thin as possible. Messer carefully positioning the knife over the papaya then he stabbed it with the silver knife. Cool! Okay next step, he stuffed the basil in the papaya wound he just made. After he was sure that he already put all the basil into the wound, he added it into the potion.
