Yes, thirty minutes. Which was a long time, and that meant they had some more time to work on those cutting skills. No point having them all sitting there twiddling their thumbs. He appreciated some would want to make notes, but he didn’t expect them to write down everything when it was in their textbook. Writing up a full report would be their homework.

He raised his voice over the sound of bubbling cauldrons. “You may start to carve your pumpkin if you wish. I suggest using either a carefully controlled diffindo, or a small knife from your potions kit.” Up to them how fancy they wanted to make the design.


SPOILER!!: Juniper’s Notes


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 your potion simmer for 30 minutes. You may carve your pumpkin whilst you wait.


Yep that was a simmer, a light simmer not so much yet. She went ahead grabbed the crushed moths in the mortar. By the time she had gotten that in her hand and ready to add to her cauldron. The contents of the cauldron were now at a light simmer. Or at least what she thought was a light simmer. How does one really know these things? She added the powdery substance to the cauldron. And with a clean stirrer. Stirring it clockwise until the potion turned grass green.

Why grass green why not… sea green?

Stir enough to incorporate, now that was vague. Either way she added the chopped
bouncing bulbs. The whole 100g of it. She added it the cauldron and started stirring it… until it was all incorporated.

To her surprise Professor Noble was going to let them carve their pumpkins. Zita was right he was going to let them carve them. Probably to keep them busy for the thirty minutes they had to wait for the potion to brew. Though with the cuts and the allergic reaction, she wasn’t sure what was the safer option was. Hogwarts kid using knives and severing charms or leaving them to their own devices for thirty minutes. Which one would be the less dangerous?

Right so this was going to be good. She went ahead and took her knife and cut out two big X’s and a small “W” Under the cut out X’s. She raised her hand. Kind of answering a question but asking one of her own and kind answered it too. ”My question is Why would you want to do turn someone’s head into a pumpkin? Besides say like in a duel or as prank. If you are using it in a duel then you would have to use the Jinx. I mean you don’t bring potions to a duel.” That would be cheating right? Unfair advantage? Anyway she went back to working on her pumpkin carving. Now to cut out the mouth this time she took her wand to cut out a small mouth on her pumpkin. She had a little bit of the pulp left and scooted it in front of the pumpkin. Gross, This pumpkin needed to be excused from class now.
