"Peppermint makes you less nauseated. What kind of potions would you use it in?" She asked, but didn't wait for an answer... "Once you've told me what each ingredient does, we will start brewing with them."
They had to brew with them? Sarah was not having any blood in her potion. Maybe she should trade with someone if they have to.
She then took out a partchment and began to write
Quote:
- Fangs of Biting Toadstools- used in healins potions, also as the fangs are used for eating so they get some magical properties
- feathers of eagle owl- used in dragon tonic which is needed for sick dragons
- ginger - Used in the Wit-Sharpening Potion a potion which helps people clear the mind.
- blood - love(it came from a very loved person), can be given to vampires
Happy with the list Sarah raised her hand,
"I got fangs from a biting toadstools, toadstools are used in healing potions. Then I got some feather from an eagle owl, those are used in dragon tonic." yes professor, some people actually take care of dragons not harvest them for potions. "
the ginger roots are used in potions such as the wit sharpening potion, yet there are a lot of medicinial uses of them, such as treating stomach issues, the common cold,and aches and pains also I use ginger for my remedy for chillblains". It was also one of the herbs Sarah studied for Herbology in her second year. Then she had a vial of bloo
d, "and I have a vial of blood, which can be used to make treats for vamipires such as blood sweets, yet also the person whose blood it was is very loved so perhaps it absorbed some of the properties of being loved, as I have read that blood is said to do. Maybe it can also be used in the blood replenishing potion, also as in the cases of unicorn blood and reem blood, blood seems to have properties that add life" She said. She hped it was okay that she had to use her blood, yet due to her nosebleed she ran out of time to get a different fourth ingridient.
