After a grueling eight minutes, Fiyero looked at his potion again. It had turned cream-colored just like his notes said it would. This was going a lot better than he'd expected. So now what was he supposed to do? He consulted his notes:
Text Cut: Notebook
Ingredients
100ml Red Wine
10ml Prune Juice
2g Hairy fungus, mashed
2g Tortoise Shell, powdered
5g Caterpillar, sliced
1 Bat Tongue, diced
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients as listed in the ingredients list, weighing and measuring each carefully.
Slowly heat the red wine and prune juice and begin stirring clockwise until you can just see bubbles starting to form. (The mixture will be dark purple/brown)
Immediately add the Hairy Fungus and continue to stir clockwise for ten minutes. (The mixture will slowly fade to a lighter purple/brown)
Continuing to stir clockwise, add the tortoise shell. (The mixture will be a creamy color)
After eight minutes, remove the cauldron from the heat and add the caterpillar and bat tongue, making sure to continue to stir the solution in a clockwise motion for five minutes, until it changes to a creamy green colour.
As the potion cools, it will turn emerald green. Once it is completely cooled (about fifteen to twenty minutes), you may cease dispense the potion into appropriate vials for storage.
Characteristics: Emerald Green
Level: Advanced
Information: The effects are dosage based; the more ingested, the older one will age
Fiyero removed his cauldron from the burner, taking extra care not to burn himself - or accidentally start another fire. Time to add the caterpillars and bat tongue and - WHAT?! Even more Stirring... He inwardly groaned. This stirring was quickly becoming his least favorite part of Potions class!
He sighed. Back to the boring part, he thought as he continued to stir. His hand felt like it was going to fall off by the time five minutes had ticked by, but when he checked the caudron, he saw that the mixture hadn't turned green yet. He did everything the instructions said, so why in Merlin's name wasn't it changing color? Come on! Turn green, you stupid thing!
Fiyero thought for a minute. Maybe even more stirring would fix it.. so he picked up his stirrer again. He was about ready to write this potion off as a lost cause when - finally! - he started to notice a change in color, subtle at first but slowly becoming more pronounced, He suddenly had to stifle a giggle as he realized that the creamy-green mixture in front of him looked a lot like a pot of boogers!
He glanced at his notebook again and saw he was almost done. YAAAAY, no more stirring! He still had some time to kill before the Potion cooled, but at least now he could do something fun. He pulled the latest issue of Quidditch International out of his bag, quickly becoming engrossed in an article about his favorite team, the Ballycastle Bats.
After a while, Fiyero looked up at the clock. Had it been twenty minutes already? Well, he supposed it was true that time flies when you're having fun. He selected a clean vial from his potions kit and carefully ladled some of the Aging Potion into it. He hastily scribbled his name on a label:

He held up the vial and inspected it for a minute. The potion had turned green, but he wasn't sure it was emerald green. He supposed it would have to do. The thought crossed his mind to test it out, but he decided against it. He'd already had one mishap today; he didn't want to cause another!
With a triumphant smile, Fiyero set his completed potion on Professor Newton's desk. He couldn't believe it... He actually did it! There were a few minor hiccups along the way, and he'd wanted to give up a few times, but he kept at it and managed to finish without anything bad happening. He was so proud of himself!
