"We are at the last step. If you do not know how to handle a leech, which, then put on our gloves. I don't want it to attach to you and contaminate itself. Place the leech inside the potion and it'll start sucking some of the liquid. Once it's full, you'll notice it'll start disintegrating into the potion. It will turn red, a dark deep red." After demonstrating, she took her wand out. "Cast on the potion in a straight jabbing motion and say 'Verax' loud and clear." She said and again, demonstrated. The potion became clear. "And it is done."
Jory hated leeches so he didn't hesitate to pull on his gloves. Gingerly, he scooped them up and placed them into his potion. He watched, fascinated, as the creatures began to absorb some of it. And then it began to swell...and swell until they eventually broke down.
Now, the boy's potion was the dark red as Professor Lafay's.
"Verax, Verax,'' he muttered as he took out his wand. He pointed it at the cauldron,
"Verax!'' he said and made the jabbing movement. And then suddenly its colour changed and it became clear.
"All done,'' he thought as he wrote down this last bit of instruction in his book.
