Well, she refused to write down that part about whatever it was that first year had said about love potions. Usually, Brooklyn didn’t take that many notes as it was, but love potions were interesting. Just because she figured knowing about them might keep people from trying to use them on her, thinking it’d change her opinion of them. Obviously it wouldn’t, and she wasn’t about to let anyone slip a potion o her without her knowledge anyhow. Even the fear potion last term had been with her permission, and after the spiders adding even more fear to the mix she wasn’t about to take one of those ever again. She didn’t like taking anything that made her feel weak. But that wouldn’t stop her from using them against others if it so piqued her interest. For the most part, she was treating t6his lesson as just information she could use though.

Either way, she hadn’t expected to be expected to take her notes before starting anything. Or to be invited to take treats, although she’d refrained from that. If she wanted any, she could go into her own bag and get her own. She didn’t need to take from Professor Culloden. She just wrote down the things she thought were important, especially the ingredients and the first couple of steps, then got to work on actually brewing. As always, her first step was Scourgifying her cauldron, even before she went over to collect the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone. It was one less step to worry about later, but there was still the knife, mortar and pestle to clean. She did that when she got back to her station, before she separated the sneezewort petals. Setting those aside, she applied her attention to the eight alihotsy leaves, chopping them with her clean knife before sliding her mortar and pestle over and crushing the moonstone.

Another quick Scourgify of her cauldron, then she filled it with purified water. That seemed awfully specific, but she didn’t question it. It was probably just because the potion was so specific. Regular water probably wouldn’t work the same. Either way, she carefully added her sneezewort petals once she was finished adding the water. Then all that was left was sitting and waiting for what came next. That was why she usually liked not taking all her notes beforehand. She didn’t like waiting.

SPOILER!!: notes

SPOILER!!: notes Amortentia/Love Potion Love potions cause a infatuation or obsession for the brewer or the first person seen. Amortentia is the most powerful of them. The duration of the effects (usually up to 24 hours) vary depending on factors such as the weight of the person drinking the potion and the attractiveness of the person with whom the potion is supposed to make the drinker obsessed. The effects wear off naturally over time, but can be renewed by administering further doses of potion. Therefore, there is no overdose. The effect is near instantaneous: the drinker appears "pale and sickly" and becomes obsessed with the brewer or the first person seen and excited or dangerously unstable towards others. A hate potion can cancel out love potions and vice versa. There is also a proper antidote. The brewer doesn't have to be present for the effect if it's that sort of love potion. The drinker does not forget what he or she did while under its influence. Love potions mature over time; so the longer it is kept, the stronger it will be. Amortentia's characteristics are a distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen and spiral steams. Its aroma is different for everyone and reminds each person of the things that they find most attractive, even if they don't acknowledge or are unaware of their fondness themselves. The smell of Amortentia can change as you see new things and people. 8 flower heads of sneezewort (separate the petals beforehand) 8 berries of atropa belladonna 8 chopped leaves of Alihotsy (prepared beforehand) One frozen ashwinder egg broken in 8 8 tea spoons of powdered moonstone All the thorns of 8 roses 8 drops of salamander blood 8 table spoons of peppermint 1. Prepare the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone. 2. Fill the cauldron with purified water and add the sneezewort petals __________________ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me, at tea time, everybody agrees ...It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero ♥ ♥ ♥
