...Why couldn't they just clean the syringe and use it again?

Esme did not really get potions. She could brew them all right but the finer point always managed to allude her. Would something terrible happen to her if she didn't do everything correctly? Well, she already felt terrible enough as it was so she didn't really want to play with fire and tempt fate. This was just like the muggle chemistry classes when they did experiments to make things like goo and whatever else they got up to. It was hard for her to say since she had never gone to a muggle school being a half-blood and all...

Keeping her back turned to the owls made her feel antsy about a behind attack but she knew that Professor Newton would be on the lookout and stop anything as it happened. He HAD to since part of his job was making sure that the students were doing things correctly and not blowing things up or melting their cauldrons.

Shaking her head at that thought Esme measured out the Boomslang venom in another syringe and set it off to the side.

SPOILER!!: Esme's Notes

ANIMAL WHISPERER POTION

Ingredients
6 cups water
15 fresh Belladonna leaves
3 dried Fluxweed sprigs, roughly crushed in mortar and pestle (picked during a full moon, and dried over one week)
0.5mL Wormwood essence
2Tbsp Lacewing flies
1tsp honey
1tsp water
0.1mL Boomslang venom
1 crushed Unicorn Horn
1 cup of Armadillo Bile
15g Ginger, crushed
1 Shrivelfig, scooped out seeds
1 measure of your animal

Method
1. Add 6 cups of water to you cauldron, and light a small flame. Simmer the water for 5 minutes to slowly heat to an appropriate temperature
2. Pluck the 15 leaves of Belladonna from the sprigs, will need approximately 2 sprigs, and add them to the cauldron once five minutes is up
3. Gather the 3 sprigs of dried Fluxweed, and roughly crush in mortar and pestle. Only enough to increase the surface area, then add to the cauldron
4. Simmer for a further 3 minutes
5. Stir with a wooden stirrer, three times, clockwise
6. Measure, with a 1ml syringe, your Wormwood essence, and add to the cauldron.
7. Measure 0.1mL Boomslang venom in a different syringe and place to the side for a moment
8. Clean the mortar and pestle, add one unicorn horn, and crush it to a fine powder, then add the Boomslang venom. Mix together (it will not make a paste) and set aside for three minutes, then add to the cauldron.
9. Simmer the cauldron for three minutes, then stir three times, clockwise
10. Clean the mortar and pestle, and add two tablespoons of Lacewing flies, one teaspoon of honey, and one teaspoon of water, and crush until it makes a smooth paste. Carefully add the paste to the cauldron
11. Stir slowly for three minutes, clockwise, and then leave the potion to simmer for ten minutes.
12. Add one measure of your animal’s fur or, if a toad, a gentle scraping from head, down the body with your metal stirrer, then stir three times into the cauldron. Only two individual hairs needed for a rat or a cat, and for an owl, cut the tip of one feather, OR stroke your owl until a small feather separates from the owl (do NOT pluck the feather). Stir with wooden stirrer three times clockwise, and leave for six minutes to simmer.
13. Scoop out the liquid into your phials and discard the stewed ingredients.
14. Drink one 10ml phial of potion and let the potion set in until you start to sense your animal speaking to you.
