Whoah, when Healer Reed said this was Hospital grade stuff he sure wasnt joking, and the Curly Top was busy noting everything down. It wasnt long before they were advised to begin and he immediately went to work.
He scourgified his tools first-- his own self-stirring cauldron, the stirrers, that silver dagger, the tweezers for the salt, the Pasteur pipette, the glass phials and the tin box for storage, yep this is quite the supplies pile wasnt it? He then proceeded to measure out and collect the other ingredients that wasnt already with them-- the liquid antimony, the boomberry juice, and a bottle of that essence of dittany. And then that DISTILLED water-- gotta collect that from the container too. He had to wonder about those casting Aguamenti, because as far as he knew, water from the wand wasnt distilled. And given that Healker Reed said this was hospital grade antidote, he sure wasnt gonna do any shortcuts.
Ok so distilled water now in his cauldron, he laid it over the burner, incendio'd it to get the fire going and cranked it up to medium. While that was happening, Ace took the silver dagger and started mincing up the Stargrass that was in his container, nuninuninuninu.... it was like he was making a real special summer tea yeah?
Water be boiling, and now he adds in the minced Stargrass, following that with the measured out Boom Berry juice. Glass stirring rod was slipped in as he murmured to the cauldron to start stirring counter clockwise for three minutes. He watched this happen until it the stirrer stopped, and the leonine lad counted to five until he ordered the stirrer to get going again in the same direction but for two minutes. More waiting. He should spend this time doing something important-- like looking at Vi and watching her work on her potion hehe. It wasnt long before the realized the stirrer had stopped on its own-- two minutes was up? Awwww, back to work and out goes the stirrer. he reached out for the dittany bottle and started dropping in the liquid into his mixture, counting up until he reached 23 drops.
Another waiting stint for three minutes. This potion really develops one's patience huh? But he could here Ava ask something about the antimony. Yeah he was wondering about that...

Potion: Antidote to Uncommon Poisons No. 005 (Hospital Grade)
Effect(s): This healing potion cures the effects brought about uncommon poisons. This formula has been altered to have a stronger effect, covering a wider range of poisons known to wizard-kind.
Ingredients: 50 ml Distilled Water- 14 ml Liquefied Antimony
-
32 grams Stargrass - 302 ml Boom Berry Juice
- 23 drops Essence of Dittany
- 5 pieces Fire Seeds
- 15 pieces Pure Rock Salt
- 5 strips Wiggentree Bark
- 5 pieces Fresh Betony Leaves
Procedure: Clean all equipment to be used: Cauldron, Scales, Stirrers, Phials, Etc.;- Bring 50 ml Distilled Water to a boil in medium heat;
- Add finely chopped 32 grams of Stargrass. Use a silver dagger for this step;
- Add 302 ml Boom Berry Juice and stir counter-clockwise for three minutes pause 5 seconds, and continue to stir the solution counter-clockwise for another two minutes. Use a glass stirrer for this step;
- Remove the stirrer from the cauldron, and add 23 drops of Essence of Dittany into the solution;
- Let 3 minutes pass, and then adjust the heat to low. Slowly add 5 fire seeds into the solution after 2 minutes. Use your dragon-hide gloves for this procedure;
- Add 15 pieces of pure rock salt one by one, and stir the solution counter-clockwise for five minutes until the solution turns primrose yellow. This will indicate that the solution has been activated to counter the effect of poisoning;
- Lay 5 strips of Wiggentree bark on the surface of the solution, and slowly push it one by one to the inner wall of your cauldron. Turn the heat back to medium and wait for the potion to boil;
- Once bubbles appear, crush 5 fresh Betony Leaves with your hand, and add it to the boiling liquid. The potion should turn a shade of Sapphire Blue;
- Wait five minutes, and then turn off the heat. Let the potion cool for 15 minutes, and then bottle it in glass phials using a clean Pasteur Pipette (dropper). Label your potions;
- Scrape off the dreg at the bottom of the cauldron, and pack it in a tin box. Draw the Asclepius Staff with your wand, while saying the incantation: Venenum Inverto (nullify the poison).
Notes of interest:- The quantity of each ingredient is a product of Five; the number for Healing;
- The stirring movement is counter-clockwise; activating the healing properties of each ingredient, ultimately reversing the effects of the poison;
- The healing properties of each ingredient becomes more potent because of the presence of Fire Seeds. Said ingredient is born of the alchemical element fire, which represents life;
- Salt is one of the Three Principles in Alchemy or one of the component s of the Universal Language of Nature. Naturally it is a product of the Earth and Water elements—the same elements associated with humans and beings. Salt can preserve (the body of the victim) and corrodes (to nullify the poison. In this context, it will absorb the dark/evil energies present), thus making the potion more potent;
- The dreg can be used together with the potion to enhance its effect. The Asclepius Staff* should be drawn on the victim's tongue using the dreg while reciting the incantation: Venenum Inverto
*The Asclepius Staff is an alchemical symbol (and a universal medical symbol) for healing (or doctors in the muggle world).
