They had to brew a potion... with no guidance? None? Zero?

BLINK.

Alec gulped hard as his eyes travelled from the professor and over towards the board where the ingredients and steps were listed. He did the first thing he could think of and start scribbling down the instructions and ingredients into his Potions journal. It wasn't the first necessary Potions step but it would certainly make the Potion making process easier which was good because the idea of making this potion on his own scared him.

Scribble... scribble... scribble...

There. Done. Now he was ready to do the actual first necessary Potions step which was to collect the ingredients. He picked up his journal and wandered over towards the store cupboard. Dragonfly... Fairy Wings... Flying Seahorses... It was kind of funny how most of these ingredients required something that had the ability to fly. It... probably had something to do with the endurance thing, right? So for the extra ingredient, if he picked one that could fly as well, did that mean that his potion would have extra endurance?

But... what if... something went wrong with his potion? And what if it blew up? And what if people got hurt in the process?

GULP.

Shaking his head, Alec grabbed the ingredients required and walked back to his desk. He placed the items carefully on his desk before walking back to the store cupboard. Right. Now he needed to decide. His eyes flew past a couple of the ingredients as his mind mentally crossed them off because... well... he had a funny feeling that he wouldn't need some of those. And then it got tricky. The Hufflepuff frowned slightly as he looked between two ingredients in particular. Armadillo Bile or... Salamander Blood? Which one... which one...

Eeine Meanie Miney Mo...

... It was a legit strategy.

And... Salamander Blood it is! The boy grabbed the final ingredient and headed back towards his work station. Right. Now. Time to make this potion! But... first... "Scourgify!" Clean? Yes? No? ... "Scourgify!" Just in case... "Aguamenti!" A grin spread across Alec's face as he watched his cauldron fill up with water.

Now it was potion making time!
