Hecate watched as the students seem to be confused as to the additional ingredient. "I want you to think about what you's like the potion to do. What you all said is correct, it enhances your endurance, stamina and strength... but what Master Branxton said is on the money, the potions reenforces what the drinker already has. Let's take Captain Montmorency... He's got a lot of endurance and strength already... the potion will double that. Where as, Miss Happenstance, who seems quite tired this morning..." she said eyeing the young first year, "would double her endurance and strength as well, but it would be no where near as to what Captain Montmorency would get out of it."

She looked around the room and sighed.

"So, if I were Miss Happenstance, I would chose an ingredient that would allow the potion to make me as strong as everyone in the class... If I were any of the quidditch players, and I was..." She said with a smirk. "I may chose an ingredient that would allow the potion to kick in while flying... not that you all could drink it for that purpose... Madam James would know and disqualify you..." and she looked at her Slytherin team because she KNEW it was what they were thinking.

"What I meant before was that I don't want you to tell me now what and why you chose that particular ingredient. That will be saved for later." Hopefully that clarified things...

ooc: I'm clarifying my earlier post, as last night I had a terrible migraine and this morning I realized I hadn't explained it well. This is the first time I don't lead the potion brewing. This doesn't mean I won't post every day. I will. But I am new at this... so I forgot to write when your potion should be finished by which is 3/16 at 11:59pm EST. (Three days and 15 and a half hours from this post.)
