Be sure to then add the contents to your potions." And she demonstrated it all. Reaching into his potions kit, Gideon found both mortar and pestle and laid them out on the table beside his brewing cauldron. "Scourgify," he cast on both to make sure they were clean and clear of anything that could adversly effect anything. With that done, the Gryffindor added the poppyseeds into the bowl and begain grinding them as directed until he had a dusting of them. He then picked up the Valerian twigs and broke them up, adding them to the dust and crushed both ingrediants some more, the two meshing as one. Once he was satisfied, he carefully dumped the contents of the mortar into his cauldron. Quote:

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." Moving on to the last step, Gideon slipped on his gloves. No getting leeches attached to oneself as Professor Lafay said. That would certainly be a bad thing. He placed the first leech inside his potion and watched it suck at the liquid before dissolving once it was full. It really was an interesting effect. The young man then repeated the process until all the leeches were in the cauldron and liquified into the potion for lack of a better term. The liquid now a dark red...even more so then the blood had been.
He then picked his wand back up, preparing to cast the spell that marked the end of the brewing process. "VERAX!" he cast loud and clear, a jabbing motion straight as an arrow proceeding it. There...all done. Quote:

"Very well... your potions should be clear. Indistinguishable from water. Take a vial and fill it with a portion of it, then pour the rest into a bottle, cork it and bring it to me." She said and then held her stomach. "Homework. Find someone to give your potion to, and ask them a question. They should answer with the truth. Then tell me where it happened. Class Dismissed!" More ooc: Rp somewhere giving someone the potion. You should ask permission to do so. Then PM me with links to where you RPed. Gideon removed his gloves and added the last pits of information into his notes, making sure he had all the steps and comments within for future reference. His attention drawn back to Lafay as she ended class, he listened to the homework assignment. Adding that to the parchment as well before bottling up his work...a now crystal clear potion, and proceeding to clean his work area up. |
