Glancing at the recipe, Esme saw that the first thing she needed to put in the cauldron was the red wine and the prune juice. This was obvious since Professor Newton had explained that there would be no water in the potion and liquids were always added first - at least as far as she knew from experience. She wasn't exactly an expert potioneer.

First the wine was added and then the juice. Using her wand, Esme lit a fire under the cauldron and turned the heat setting to medium. She was supposed to start stirring now, right? After glancing around the classroom for a moment she shrugged and then picked up her clean wooden stirrer. Working in a clockwise direction, she stirred away, watching the potion as she did so. The colour was starting to lighten up a little so she supposed that sh was doing things the way that she was supposed to. A nice start, though of course there was the all too real possibility that she would mess SOMETHING up down the road. This was an advanced potion after all.

Once she saw bubbles beginning to form, Esme stopped stirring.

SPOILER!!: Esme's Notes
