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.
  6. Add the berries of atropa bellandonna one by one.
  7. Sprinkle alihotsy leaves while drawing a clockwise circle.
  8. Wave your wand. The color should turn to dark red.


....Ms. Head Girl Sophie Brown was acting kinda weird this lesson, did anyone notice that? Davie didn't question her analysis of all the ingredients because Sophie Brown was SUPER good at Potions and Herbology, but had anyone else found this behavior of hers a little... erm, out of ordinary? Anyone? No? Going back to his potion-making then.... he'd leave the anxious Head Ladies to the professor.

Davie double checked that he had exactly eight berries of atropa bellandonna, then proceeded to carefully add them one at a time, waiting until each berry had sunk before adding the next one. Next, he gathered the chopped alihotsy leaves he'd prepared in his left hand and got ready to draw the circle over the top of the cauldron with his right. Gently, Davie sprinkled them in while doing the clockwise circle. He dusted off his hands and confidently waved his wand, waiting intently for the color of the potion to change.

Davie peeked up from the cauldron to the professor, his eyebrows communicating that he was just waiting to be told that he had done this ALL WRONG somehow.
