Understood?” Did the Professor just threatened him with detention? Tenacius Salander, the boy who can brighten a room with a smile that can rival the sun itself, being told that so much as a smirk would WIN him an opportunity to hang out with the Master of Mean himself?
Oooohhh so tempting oh so tempting, specially the fact that the boy would like nothing else but to find out the story behind The Name. Everybody has a story behind their names. Tenacius sure had one. And someone with a name like IGnatius NOBLE, thats a story worth a Wizarding Wireless pitch innit?
But he caught his girlfriend's look, and then his bestie a little ways away, both had the expression that gave him pause. He is astounded why nobody around here-- well except for Matt over yonder it seems-- finds the Potions Master as amusing as he does. But now is neither the time or the place to gol all Ace reporter, and goodness knows that his actions nowadays are seen as Head Boy and not so GryffindorAce, he decided to pull up those acting muscles and give the Professor a small nod and the 'ol Queen's Sentry's deadpan stare. Quote: Pompion Potion
Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin innards, densely packed (sorted so no seeds)
3 flitterby moths
100g fresh bouncing bulb, stunned if necessary
4g fresh foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) flowers, petals only
10 fresh pumpkin seeds
Instructions:
1.Use diffindo to cut open the pumpkin.
2. Using a metal spoon, scoop out the innards, pulling out the seeds and putting to one side.
3. Put two densely packed cups of pumpkin innards in the bottom your cauldron with a cup of water. Set over medium heat.
4. Whilst waiting for the cauldron to come to a light simmer, grind 3 dried flitterby moths to a fine powder in your pestle and mortar. Add these to the cauldron and stir clockwise until the contents turns grass green (4 complete stirs should do the trick).
5. Stun your bouncing bulb. Peel off the purple skin, and chop finely with a silver knife. Weigh out 100g. Add to your cauldron and stir enough to incorporate.
6. Let you potion simmer for 30 minutes. You may carve your pumpkin whilst you wait.
Alright he has got to get focusing back on his work. His pumpkin pulp now devoid of any seed, he began packing those babies in in the measuring cup and placing them at the bottom of his copper, self-stirring cauldron (top o' the line, spared no expense) then intro'd the water on the Professor's say so. Incedio'd a flame to a medium heat (like he's done dozens of times before; gosh this feels like he's making pumpkin soup yum).
Then those dried moth things that looks like a misshapen peppercorns. Scourgified the mortar and pestle and grind grind grind-- did the Professor say it has to be super fine? The Curly Top thought that the best way that can be achieved is through magic, he's done making oat floor from scratch, magic was always the way to go. He glanced up and was about to ask this very question when he could feel a chuckle coming just by looking at the Potions man and thought-- yeah nevermind. He knew well enough that if he opened his mouth a peal of laughter like bells in an echo chamber will come out instead.
So in goes the flitterby powder, and he commanded his pot to stir clockwise four times. While it did that he went to get that bouncing bulb, stunned one (or a few) while still in its crate (you're welcome kiddos who cant stun too well). When he got back to his station, the pot has stopped stirring and the mixture has indeed turned to the shade of green that grass would blush upon. Snap snap finger guns "Nailed it."
So now for the bulb that would bounce no more-- he peeled off the skin and sliced it up like the chef in training that he is, cleaning out the weighing scale and started dropping the bulb slices a few clumps at a time until he reached a hundred Gs, then commanded his pot to start stirring when he slid in the bulb slices.
Alas theres more than just those bulbs that went a-sliding, by the shade of one spicy Gryffindor, the Curly Top stood and leaned towards the unconscious Ronan. Is this fer real? Should he have kept a closer eye on him whenever they would have pumpkin soup for dinner? Because those aroma gets everywhere when the soup lid goes up.
Also would now be a good time to ask the Professor if they could use an unconscious Ronan to make the Headless Horseman and see if they could animate a pumpkin on his head? |
