" Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class. Annabelle copied down the instructions for the potion. She had them in her notebook and followed them. She scourgified her cauldron first and then she used aquamenti to fill it up. Quote:

"Good... Now take the valerian root and the salamander blood and add the drops in one at a time for each, alternating like this." She said and demonstrated in her own cauldron. One Valerian, One Salamander, One Valerian, One Salamander, One Valerian, One Salamander, etc... Annabelle took the valerian root once at a time. She added the valerian root first and then the salamander. She did one v then one s. That is how she remembered it and then she did it for 10 times. Quote:

"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 Annabelle pulled out her wooden spoon and added 3 spoonfulls of honey into her cauldron. She was a pro at measuring because back at home she helped measured and cook with her room where that required a lot of measuring. Then she took the 5 basil leaves and sliced them thin as she could without cutting off her finger.
Annabelle saw the teacher stab the papaya and thought it was a weird thing to do but she went along with it. She stabbed it and then stuffed the leaves in it. Then she added it to the mixture. It seemed kind of cool in a way to add a whole papaya to the potion. It made a cool splosh sound! "I am liking this already." Annabelle said. |
