"This red, heart shaped mushroom is called a reishi mushroom. It is nicknamed the mushroom of immortality because of its healing properties. Some muggles think it cures cancer, diabetes, liver problems... It depends on how it's used. Thinly slice all the mushrooms and add them to the cauldron. Take your wand and wave it over the cauldron with a fast strinking oblique motion and cast the spell." She said and once she was finished diffindoing them and adding them she performed the wand movement and cast "Sanum!"
Elise nodded, taking the ginger root and the grater. Tip-toeing, she peered into the cauldron before grating the ginger root into it. Grate. Grate. Grate. Moving the root back and forth over the grater, she imagined it was a carrot. Grate. Grate. Grate.
Great! Done.
Moving on quickly, she scourgified her cutting board and knife before setting the mushrooms onto her cutting board. Slicing them thinly, she worked as though she was cooking. It wasn't anything she wasn't already used to anyway. Once the five minutes were up, she'd finished with the mushrooms anyway. Pushing them into the cauldron with her knife, she picked her wand out of her pocket hastily.
Moving her wand in the motion that Professor Lafay specified, she mumbled, "Sanum." That should've worked... Right? SPOILER!!: Lafay

She showed a potion that induced an allergy. Take the counter-measure and then take one of the items on the table to see which you are now allergic to.
Sighing, she allowed the cauldron to cool. It was rather scary how fast the time flew. Walking over to the front, she eyed the chocolate bar suspiciously. Eyes widening, she picked it up.
Unwrapping it, she took a bite. Letting the treat melt in her mouth, she nearly cried. It should've been a crime to be allergic to something that good, and Elise didn't know what she was missing! Taking another bite, she chewed slowly before realizing that she couldn't breathe properly and that her throat was starting to itch.
Running towards her cooled cauldron, she ladled out her mixture into the wooden mug-like thing. Ewww.... Swallow it. Swallow it, Elise. The potion was way worse tasting than the chocolate, but she felt a cool sensation going down her throat. Shuddering, she drank the whole cupful.
Her eyes turned tentatively towards the chocolate in her hand. Taking another bite, she waited for her breath to become short and her throat to itch. She waited, for about five minutes. It didn't happen.
Maybe her potioneering skills weren't as bad as she'd thought.
