Now for a more volitial ingrediant...the bursting mushroom.

They had obviously been kept under some sort of containment spell while being stored hence why they weren't currently dangerous and had been retrievable inside a container. However there was no proof that that would remain the case when Gideon took one out to prepare it for the potion. he would need to be extra cautious. "Scourgify," he cast on his knife in preparation, the mushrooms needing to be sliced before added. The prefect then exchanged his knife for the mushrooms, taking out a couple at a time.

As particly expected, the two bursting mushrooms reacted to the presence of humans and started to swell and contract as if warming up for the ultimate explosion. "Immobulus..." Gideon cast trying out that spell and its effects on the mushroom. It was the first thing that had come to mind and to his surprise it seemed to work. The sixth year quickly went about slicing them up, moving onto the other three. With a couple more casts of the freezing charm, they were immobulzed as well and he finished up his slicing of the mushrooms, adding them all when he was finished.

Now onto the rest of the ingrediants.

Thankfully the rest seemed to be pretty calm in the swing of things. Asphodel root was the next thing on the list. He had cut the 5 inches needed for the potion when he had retrieved his supplies so now all he had to do with it was shave it into his work. Gideon took out his grater and after making sure it was extra clean as well as he had the other tools, he went to work grating it into the brewing liquid.

That done, he switched onto the next. "Scourgify," he cast on his knife once more before taking up the voice box that formerly belonged to a fwooper. Gideon then went about chopping it into manageable pieces, slowly adding them into the potion when he was done, carefully not to splash. Giving it one clockwise stirs, he awaited a reaction to show all was well, soon enough noticing the appropriate blue-green tinge.

Seven ingrediants down...four more to go.
