While she waited on the Professor to continue with the instructions, she grabbed her quill. Might as well take notes. She might've needed them again.

Lingualaxus Truth Serum:
- makes the drinker tell the truth even if they do not want to, but this truth serum is a bit weaker than Veritaserum.
Very, very useful. Ingredients:
-->Water
-->8 drops of Essence of Wormwood
-->One cup of Jobberknoll blood
-->4 Billywig Wings
-->3 Belladonna leaves
-->2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
-->7 Sprigs of Valerian
-->
6 5 leeches
Procedure:
1. Clean the cauldron using Scourgify.
2. Fill the cauldron with water using Aguamenti.
Always use Finite afterwards!!!
3. Turn on the burner.
3. Add 8 drops of Wormwood Essence when water starts boiling.
4. Stir the potion counter-clockwise.
5. While the potion is still moving, add the Jobberknoll blood slowly. It should be making circles in the potion.
6. Take the Billywig wings and the Belladonna leaves and crush them in your hands then let the pieces fall into the cauldron.
7. Clean the mortar and place the poppy seeds inside the mortar and crush to dust.
8. Break the Valerian sprigs using your hand and add to the crushed seeds snd crush some more then add to cauldron.
9. Wear your gloves and place the leech inside the potion. The leech will suck some of the liquid until it disintegrates, leaving the potion in the shade of dark red.
10. Cast Verax on the potion so that it will become clear.

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."
Okaaay. Leech time.
She turned to the six leeches on her table.
"Hmmm...here's the hard part." She said eyeing each of them.
"One of you's gonna get to live...but the rest of you...well at least you get to be part of a cool potion!" See? Always a bright side if you looked just right.
"Now, let's get this over with." Then quite randomly she grabbed five of them, one at a time of course, and plopped them into the solution.
"Congrats Jimmy! You're the lucky leech!" BEAM. Wasn't he going to be so happy. Yuuuup.
Looking over into the cauldron she saw them begin to suck up the liquid then turn red. Now came the fun part. Her favourite motion was one that involved jabbing so she had a feeling this one would come easy. Jab.
"Verax." A puff of smoke appeared at the tip of her wand but nothing else happened.
Ahem. JAB.
"Verax!"
She grinned widely when the potion turned clear. Oh yeah. Like a boss!
