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

Selina was certain that her hair was at growing with each step in the process of potions. She hated this class, it was a lot of unnecessary stress that she did not need in her daily classes. However, some brilliant oaf at the Ministry decided a long time ago that all students were required to take Potions until they got past the OWL exams. So Selina had one more year of this class and then she was free. And by the way the rest of the class was looking at her and her now crazy frizzed hair and disgusting potion, they would be glad to be rid of her.

But she did as she was told and followed the directions of the task. At first she added three spoonfulls of raw honey with the wooden spoon. It was sticky and did not want to leave the spoon until she shook it free. Darn honey. Then she took the five basil leaves and sliced them as thinly as she could with the silver knife. As she was wrapping up that portion she nicked herself with the knife and gave herself a small cut. Bullocks, but she was fine. It was not anything serious. And then she stabbed the papaya and filled it with the basil. This was the weirdest potion she had even taken part in and to be honest, she felt it would only get weirder. Once it was done she dropped it into the cauldron.....
