"The instruction for a basic Girding potion are simple." Again tapping the board the directions appeared.
  • Add the set of fairy wings
  • Heat until the potion turns turquoise.
  • Add one measure of doxy eggs. (That's 3)
  • Heat until the potion turns pink.
  • Add 20 of the toasted dragonfly thoraxes or until the potion turns red (sometimes it takes only 18 or 19, but never more than 20)
  • Heat until the potion turns blue.
  • Add 20 of the toasted dragonfly thoraxes until the potion turns silver (sometimes it takes only 18 or 19, but never more than 20)
  • Heat the potion until it turns red again.
  • Add three measures of doxy eggs. (That's the remaining 9)
  • Add the 10 not-toaster dragonfly thoraxes.
  • Heat the potion until it turns blue again.
  • Add three flying seahorses.
  • Heat until the potion turns green.

"I'd like you to go get the ingredients. And then get one more. One ingredient of your choosing. And add it to the potion. Do not tell me why you added that particular ingredient or what the potion is now capable of doing... Just brew it. Ask me any question you wish during. Just don't ask if you are doing it right."

Of course it was easy. Probably someone who did consult a dictionary (not only Ravenclaws could do that. COUGH.) would know what the potion could do and its effects and stuff. Also a little bit of common sense would help them too, if they started digging right inside their minds well. But this lesson... it seemed different. They were alone in making the potion and Lafay would just entertain them if they had questions.

It was different and fresh so that's good, right?

Kat jotted some notes on her parchment before taking her ingredients from the cupboard. She returned to her work stations afterwards to start brewing the potion. Wouldn't be that hard now, right? They've done more complicating potions and draughts and unctions in the past, so this was just kind of like a test now. Brilliant.
