Text Cut: Notes
Love Potions
  • cause an infatuation/obsession for the brewer or the first person seen.
  • Amortentia = most powerful
  • Duration varies on: weight of the drinker, attractiveness the brewer, etc.
  • Effects wear off naturally over time, but can be renewed by more doses
  • There is no overdose
  • Effect = instantaneous
  • Drinker appears "pale and sickly" and becomes obsessed with the brewer or the first person seen; excited or dangerously unstable towards others
  • A hate potion can cancel out love potions and vice versa. There is also a proper antidote.
  • Brewer doesn't have to be present for the effect
  • Drinker does not forget what he or she did while under its influence
  • Love potions mature over time; the longer they're kept, the stronger they will be
  • Characteristics: distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen + spiral steams; aroma is different for everyone and reminds each person of the things that they find most attractive
  • Smell of Amortentia can change as you see new things and people

Potion Ingredients
  • 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 teaspoons of powdered moonstone
  • All the thorns of 8 roses
  • 8 drops of salamander blood
  • 8 tablespoons of peppermint

Brewing Instructions
  1. Prepare the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone.
  2. Fill the cauldron with purified water and add the sneezewort petals
  3. Light a fire under the cauldron and set it to maximum
  4. Add the heads of the sneezewort
  5. Stir 8 times clockwise with a metal stick


Dooo doooo doooooooooooo. Moving on, and David hadn't even messed up yet! Good thing he hadn't fully cleaned up his station and tossed the heads of the sneezewort away. One never knew what all they were going to do in the later steps of Potions. It was a challenging subject because the professor only revealed a few steps at a time, plus they had to follow everything EXACTLY, with great precision, and all trying to keep up with his expert pace.

But, Davie liked the challenge, so he moved on quickly, eagerly lighting a fire under his cauldron. "Incendio!" he cast confidently (his second-favorite spell he'd learned this year), and turned his wand so the fire would get big and bright. Now he added the heads of the sneezewort, no petals there, and got his metal stick out to carefully stir.

One... two... three ............ and eight! Eight times clockwise, and Davie set his stick off to the side to wait on more instructions. He was SO FOCUSED TODAY on these yucky love potions he was definitely never ever EVER going to use.
