|  Post 1 - Elixir to Induce Euphoria BOOMBAYAH! | #PuedoPorquePiensoQuePuedo | Certified Blank and Random Person | Raventastic
Ava knew what potions that she’s going to brew for this extra credit project. Yup, she chose elixir to induce euphoria. The Gryffindor just thought that this elixir was quite challenging and not to mention that it would be fun if she could use this for people… Particularly a certain Professor, ahem. This would be fun.
As she arrived at the potions lab, Ava put on her coat and set up the ingredients and equipment that she would need for this brewing. Looking at her notebook, she started gathering the ingredients from the storage room like fluxweed oil, vervain root, bloodroot stems, calendula pollen, asphodel root, hyacinth flower, small lovage leaf, bouncing bulb, peppermint, belly frog slime… ugh, billywig sting, alihotsy leaf, glumbumble fluid and wahoo bark. Merlin, that’s a lot of ingredients, huh? Now she already had the ingredients, Ava started the brewing by cleaning all the equipment that she would need by using the scouring charm. Everything must’ve been clean, clean, clean. Then she started by preparing the wahoo bark infusion. Adding cold water to a small cup, she shredded the bark and soaked in it. Alright next… time to brew!
After she made sure that the cauldron had been cleaned, Ava cast aguamenti into her cauldron and started a low flame. Then she added 6 drops of fluxweed oil to the water and leave it while she worked with the bloodroot stems. Taking a knife, she split the stem lengthwise and scraped out all fluid and fibrous material from its inside. Once she’s done with all three stems, she crushed them with mortar and pestle into a fine paste and then add them into the cauldron. With a wooden stirrer, Ava stirred clockwise and counterclockwise alternately and slowly until a light steam rose from the cauldron.
What’s next? She took a peek from her notebook and read the next steps. Ah okay, the calendula pollen. Slowly she added the pollen into the cauldron and stirred the mixture again in clockwise motion. And then… she cleaned the mortar and pestle, added the vervain root and crushed it, then she added asphodel powder and 6 drops of fluxweed oil. Ava crushed them all until it formed a thick-consistency paste. Once it’s done, she added the paste to the cauldron and… Okay, the mixture turned pink which is… a good sign. Then she added hyacinth flower and stopped stirring the potion. All she needed to do now was waited until it boiled.
SPOILER!!: her note

- 1 vervain root, minced finely
- Inner membrane and fluid from 3 bloodroot stems
- 3 drams calendula pollen
- 1 dried asphodel root, crushed to a fine powder
- 1 Hyacinth flower, whole

- sprig of peppermint
- 2 tablespoons of slime from the belly of a live frog
- 1 dried billywig sting
- 1 alihotsy leaf
- 1 drop glumbumble fluid
- 3 drops infusion of wahoo bark
Method: Clean equipment- Add water to cauldron and light a low flame
- Preparing an infusion of wahoo bark; shred one stem of bark and soak in one cup of cold water.
- Add 6 drops fluxweed oil to water
- Split the bloodroot stems lengthwise with your knives and scrape out all fluid and fibrous material from inside the stems.
- Crush with mortar and pestle into a fine paste and add to the cauldron.
- Stir slowly until a light steam rises from the cauldron, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirring
- Slowly introduce the calendula pollen into the potion, stirring clockwise.
- Crush the vervain root and add asphodel powder, adding the remaining 6 drops of fluxweed oil to form a thick paste. Add to the potion - you should see the color shift pink briefly.
- Add the Hyacinth and stop stirring, waiting until the mixture begins to boil.
- Drop in the lovage leaf; your potion will begin rapidly changing color.
- Leaving the potion to continue boiling, shred the bouncing bulb.
- Add the shredded bouncing bulb bits, stirring until dissolved.
- Your potion should still be shifting color and bubbling, and should occasionally have droplets bouncing up and down now.
- Add the peppermint, then cover your cauldron and turn off your flame. At this time, allow your potion to steep while you harvest the slime off the belly of the frog.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the frog slime, then stir three times clockwise. Add the billywig sting and the remainder of the slime.
- Add one whole alihotsy leaf and follow IMMEDIATELY with a drop of glumbumble fluid.
