"Scourgify." Sophie cleaned the mortar and pestle before adding two tablespoons of poppy seeds into it. She started crushing them with the pestle, glancing over to her Potion every now and then, with a worried look on her face.

The feeling she'd get the Potion wrong was horrible! She was even afraid to try it once she was done. Hopefully professor Lafay wouldn't make them drink it... or at least she would give out some vials with the correctly brewed one. Gah.

When the seeds were grinded to a dust, Sophie got the valerians springs and started breaking them with her hands, right over the mortar. After she added to the mortar the seven springs, all broken, she crushed it all together some more before putting it all into the Potion.

Sophie eyed the mixture in her cauldron as it slightly changed colours. Eep! She quickly looked around to see if the other students' Potions were also changing their colours. Professor Lafay didn't mention colour changing, did she??

Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

That was frustrating... well, she couldn't do much now, could she? Sigh. Her shoulders lowered a little bit as she almost missed the next instructions.

Leech? Sophie looked down at the ingredients she had retrieved earlier. It was alive?? Merlin! The girl didn't look disgusted because she was used to all sorts of small creatures from her mother's garden, but she didn't feel like killing the poor thing because of a Potion...

Anyhow, she had to finish it. Not even in her thoughts would she argue with professor Lafay. Nope. So Sophie got the leech - without gloves - and quickly tossed it into her cauldron. The badger looked up at the Head of Slytherin House when a colour was mentioned. Looking back down at her Potion, Sophie watched closely as the liquid did start to change colours.

HOPE!

A few seconds after the leech desintegrated, though, Sophie's potion was marron. That... wasn't exactly a 'dark deep red', but... it was closer that Sophie expected! Maybe it could work anyway??? She wouldn't try it anyway, just in case... eh.

Oh, a spell! Sophie's favourite part.

Verax. The third year mouthed the word before getting her wand out. She made a jabbing motion straight to her Potion. "Verax." And the Potion was now clear.

Which got Sophie really confused. She had no idea whether it was brewed correctly or not now... her potion did look like what it was supposed to look, but... she wasn't sure if she had put the right amount of wormwood essence... aaaaaahhhh!!! The agony!!

But back at the spell... Verax. Sophie had decided she would learn Latin so the process of learning spells would be easier and faster. Verax... hm... what if she used that spell directly on people? Would it also make them tell the truth, like the Potion? Maybe... it did make people tell the truth, but not as easily as it would be with the potion? Why not use just the spell??

Sophie was definitely going to the library after this class. And yes, she had completely forgotten about her potion already.

It was professor Lafay's words that brought her back to reality. And OHNO!!! They would have to give their potion to someone as their homework! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sophie didn't really want to do that... what if she killed someone?? MERLIN, OHNO!!!

Nervounesssssss!!! Sophie's hand was actually trembling slightly as she filled a vial with her own potion. They'd have to take the rest to professor Lafay, ohMerlinnooooooooo!

Siiiiiiiiiiigh. After putting the rest of it in a bottle, Sophie put her things away and cleaned her workstation. Getting up, she went to professor Lafay looking at the floor and placed the bottle on her desk, not looking at the older witch in the eyes.

Turning on her heels, Sophie quickly walked out of the dungeons.
