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 in a clockwise circle.
  8. Wave your wand. The color should turn to dark red.
  9. Wait for 25 minutes for pewter cauldrons, 13 for brass, and 8 for copper.
  10. In the meantime, break the egg into 8. If you break it into more pieces accidentally, get another egg.
  11. When the time is up, add the egg parts.
  12. Stir vigorously clockwise with a metal stick until the color is purple.


Davie was doing the potion right! FOR ONCE, he was getting it right! Yay! His potion had just turned to dark red when he set his timer for 25 minutes, since he had the standard size 2 pewter cauldron. Now time to break the ashwinder egg into eight pieces... easier said than done. The first egg Davie attempted broke into all jagged, ugly pieces, about twelve or so pieces. That wouldn't do. Fortunately, he had plenty of time to re-do that, so he got another egg and gave it a second try, breaking it into half, and then each half into half, and so on until he had eight sections.

Time to do... some more waiting. Sigh. Davie leaned in and rested his hand on his chin, watching his potion slowly swirl around his cauldron. He was almost startled when his timer went off, and he added the eight ashwinder egg pieces. There. Easy. Davie grabbed his metal stick again and started stirring clockwise, watching and waiting for the pretty red potion to turn purple.
